Rise Kujikawa's Lovers Social Link in Persona 4 Golden starts automatically on Jul 23 and runs on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays; choose "Hold her." at rank 7 to romance her, and rank 10 gives the Signed Photo for fusing Kanzeon and Ishtar.
Rise Kujikawa's Lovers Social Link in Persona 4 Golden starts automatically on Jul 23, and she is free on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, never in rain: on Classroom Building 1F on school days and outside Marukyu Tofu in the south Shopping District on days off. To romance her, choose "Hold her." during rank 7 to 8; at rank 10 she learns Weakness Scan and gives you the Signed Photo, which unlocks the fusion of Kanzeon and Ishtar, per RPG Site's Rise guide. In Persona 4 Revival (Feb 18, 2027) Rise's link returns fully voiced, by Abby Trott in English and Rie Kugimiya in Japanese, RPG Site reported on Jul 4, 2026; Atlus's staff told PCGamesN the links are largely unchanged.

How to romance Rise
In the rank 7 to 8 scene, when the game says there is no turning back, choose "Hold her." for the romance; "Stand there." keeps it a friendship. Rank 10 follows either way. Rise is one of seven romances in Golden; see Persona 4 Social Links.
Rewards
| Rank | Reward |
|---|---|
| 3 | Rise learns Treasure Radar |
| 6 | Enemy Radar |
| 10 | Weakness Scan, and the Signed Photo (fuse Kanzeon and Ishtar) |

Rise is the team's navigator, so these skills help in the dungeon and in reading enemies rather than in attacking.
Rise's link in Persona 4 Revival
Atlus has not published Revival's rank dates or answers. Rise got her own character trailer on Jul 4, 2026, which confirmed her two voices. The Social Links are unchanged in nature, Kazuhisa Wada told Anime Corner on Jul 8, 2026, and every Social Link event has newly recorded voices, per Atlus's Japanese site. The guides read here cover Golden only, so what the PS2 Persona 4 did differently with this link is not stated. The clip is that trailer: its name card credits Abby Trott, and Rise speaks in English.
