Sadayo Kawakami Confidant Guide

Sadayo Kawakami is the Temperance Confidant in Persona 5 Royal. She is also a romanceable character. Maxing out her Confidant unlocks the fusion of Ardha. The player will also receive an item from her near the end of the game which will unlock the ability “Unlimited Service” once Kawakami's Confidant is unlocked in New Game Plus.

Kawakami's Confidant becomes available after the “Museum of Vanity” Palace. As early as May 24, the protagonist can begin her Confidant by talking to Yuuki Mishima in Shibuya's Central Street at night to begin Operation Maidwatch. After this, Joker must talk to her in the second floor hallway of Shujin Academy.

Sadayo Kawakami Availability

Time can be spent with Kawakami after the above steps have been done then calling from the yellow phone in Leblanc (which requires rank 3 Guts). This will cost 5,000 yen per call until rank 9 is reached, then it becomes free of charge. She is available on Friday and Saturday Nights, as well as the entire day if it's Rainy.

She has a Hangout Event shared with Ryuji Sakamoto on the Ichigaya Fishing Pond. She has another one at Ueno.

Note that some events in the game may override this.
