Sumire believed that she caused her sister's death and stole her dream, and she wanted to take Kasumi's place in order to continue her legacy of being an uncontested gymnast and a perfect person. By recommendation of her parents, Sumire consulted therapist Takuto Maruki to help her overcome her depression.

She told Maruki the only way for her to cope was to live as her sister. It's implied that Maruki was reminded of his own trauma when talking to her and he subconsciously made Sumire think that she is Kasumi, and he also made "Kasumi" confidently believe that Sumire died instead. Sumire enrolled into Shujin Academy thinking that she was Kasumi and quickly managed to obtain a scholarship, with Shujin heavily disregarding her actual issues beforehand.

It's also implied that, despite believing herself to be Kasumi, people around her still recognize her as Sumire and believe that she is delusional. Her coach even told her to take a break from training for a while, which she dismisses as a mental block. Her athletic capabilities are also identical to Sumire instead of being those of Kasumi's, as when she attempts to use a complex gymnastic move that Kasumi can use without issues, "something" is preventing her from executing it properly.

It was also implied that her father calls her back home if she took too much time alone because he fears that the cognitive overlay would peel off and she might actually commit suicide. Yoshizawa first meets the protagonist on their way to school on the train, when she's trying to lend a seat for an old woman only for a man to occupy it.

He then ignored her by pretending to sleep. The protagonist encourages her to speak up, but she decides not to cause a ruckus. When exiting the train, Yoshizawa thanks the protagonist for his attempt to help her. Despite Yoshizawa transferred to Shujin during Kamoshida's reign of tyranny, since she is not a member of the volleyball team, Kamoshida does not appear to harass her like other girls at school.

Instead, out of spite against the protagonist, he still attempted to discourage her from interacting with him; he told her the rumors about him throughout Shujin, that he was supposedly a "delinquent," much to her shock. On May 13th, Yoshizawa is seen at the entrance of the counseling office with Maruki talking about how everything's been going before she enrolled to Shujin, and she recommends the protagonist to take his counseling.

In preparation for the park cleanup in late May, Yoshizawa is rushing to go to the school to pick up her jersey, but an old man is constantly pestering her, asking for her number and claiming he will drive her to the park. The protagonist intervenes, forcing the old man to back off, much to Yoshizawa's gratitude. After the park clean-up, Yoshizawa approaches the protagonist and thanks him for rescuing her, and apologizes for her comment against him, having been fed false rumors by Kamoshida and some of her classmates.

After the protagonist introduces himself, she leaps to catch a balloon for a young girl, dropping her student handbook. As she returns it to the girl, the protagonist picks up the handbook, which lists her name as "Kasumi Yoshizawa. In return, she asks that he acts as a confidant for her practices to improve herself. With a deal struck, they form the Faith Confidant and Yoshizawa starts with some basics. On June 6th, She is at the entrance of the school hoping for the rain to stop.

Morgana had an umbrella prepared for the protagonist. Yoshizawa said that she's fast enough to run to the station, but because the protagonist was heading to the station, he offers her to walk with him there together. After they arrive at the station, some of the other students at the station mistake him as her boyfriend.

On July 17th, after hanging out with Yusuke and Ryuji at the summer fair, the protagonist meets Yoshizawa near a construction site where she appears depressed. She was grieving for her sister whom she promised to go the gymnast internationals with. However, her sister was killed in the aforementioned car accident.

On September 11th, the last day of the Hawaii trip, she tries to surprise the protagonist. She came to talk about the tournament and shows him a lucky charm that she brought to wish her good luck in the upcoming tourney. On September 13th she makes a slight appearance only having small talk with the protagonist and Ryuji Sakamoto.

On October 3rd, Yoshizawa is called by a teacher who told her that her scholarship may be revoked due to bad performance in the gymnastic internationals. The "bad performance" was merely a 3rd runner up position.

Nevertheless, the teacher, now joined by the Vice Principal, went to a quarrel with Maruki, which was being eavesdropped by Yoshizawa. They think that she must get first place to restore the school's reputation after it got tainted by Kamoshida's case. They decide that threatening to revoke her scholarship would motivate Yoshizawa to do better, despite Maruki saying that it would only be putting undue pressure onto her.

When she returns to the construction site, the protagonist comes across her and she accidentally triggers a copy of the Metaverse Navigator on her phone after correcting a random passerby that the site is a "Stadium," not a "Research Lab. She meets a cognitive copy of what appears to be her sister, which was quickly crushed by a Shadow, which chastises her for not knowing pity. This causes her to awaken Cendrillon , who defeats the Byakhee and helps the trio escape.

Morgana attempts to persuade her to join them, although she rejects the offer, as she needs to focus on her gymnastics. On October 11th, Yoshizawa invites the protagonist to join her for lunch for no particular reason. Maruki sees them and decides to join them. Maruki comments on how much stronger Yoshizawa has become, and Yoshizawa says that it's thanks to the protagonist and his friends who enabled her to put her problems in the past and move on. After both the protagonist and Yoshizawa have left, Maruki shows a brief look of concern.

During the Shujin school festival, after the Phantom Thieves agree to Akechi's deal to work with them, Yoshizawa forcibly drags the protagonist into the auditorium for the festival afterparty. She insists that the protagonist dance alongside her and even goes on stage herself to bust a move. On November 17th, Yoshizawa invites the protagonist up to the roof of the school for lunch.

She asks him if he is going to continue being a Phantom Thief. When the protagonist and Morgana affirm their choice to continue, Yoshizawa respects their wishes and offers her help, if they need it. On November 19th, Yoshizawa tails the protagonist and his team to Niijima's Palace , and aids him during his subsequent escape from the authorities, helping him dispatch a group of Shadows who had surrounded him. On November 25th, she visits the protagonist at Leblanc, and is relieved he survived the interrogation.

She admits that after hearing Morgana and the protagonist mentioning November 19th during their talk on the rooftop, Yoshizawa knew they were doing something, so she followed the Thieves into Niijima's Palace.

She then asks to join the fight against Masayoshi Shido. She is rejected as the protagonist believes that Yoshizawa does not know how dangerous Shido is, and feels Yoshizawa should not be involved. Yoshizawa relents in exchange for the protagonist promising her that he will return safely.

After changing Shido's cognition, on the day the protagonist returns to school, he is congratulated by Yoshizawa, and she offers the protagonist to go somewhere with her.

However, this is interrupted due to the upcoming exams. On December 21st she makes a slight appearance only having small talk with the protagonist and Ann about exams. She also spends most of her time jumping back and forth between practice and learning, leaving little time for fun.

Once you unlock the rest of Sumire's confidant ranks, she will ask you to meet her in the mall. When you find her, a pushy sales associate has dressed her in a mix of cheetah print designs. Sumire looks ridiculous, to say the least, and Joker has to explain to her that the outfit is pretty awful. It's also revealed that Kasumi picked the majority of the outfits for the twins.

Unlike the rest of the cast, it becomes apparent very early on that Sumire has a crush on Joker. Not only does she regularly try to find him when at school, but she even makes lunch for him. She also reveals that she wants to find an outfit that he will find cute when they go shopping together.

Even many of the other characters refer to the fact that they look like they are dating. She is also the only girl to tell Joker she loves him consistently.

One of the things that players will notice right away about Sumire is she is a lot more outgoing than most of the other characters. While this is because of her fake identity throughout some of the story, she doesn't get discouraged like many other confidants. Sumire even seeks out help for her problems and puts in extra work with the school, as shown in the clean-up event. She also tends to be more hands-on with Joker, even before they get to know each other better.

Despite becoming a member of the Phantom Thieves, her beliefs contradict theirs. In fact, she was even teased to have a couple of conversations with Akechi. Bits and pieces were shown that reveal some information about Kasumi. She has a fondness for food as seen in the cutscene with Takuto and the protagonist on their lunch break.

She was also hinted to be a decent performer in the school dance competition. She wields a rapier and lever-action pistol.
