Persona

is a 2008 film written and directed by Tatsuro Kashihara. The film premiered on January 1, 2008 in Japan. It was gravure idol Mami Yamasaki's first starring role in a film. Synopsis Doctor Koichiro Kiba's wife Sayoko takes a new job at the secret LIS Research Institute, but soon "collapses during the meeting, probably heart failure", and dies, or so we believe. It turns out that her personality was recorded and then put into another woman, Misono, a student who now has two personalities that take turns operating the body. She also develops super-human fighting skills as a "Persona." Several other characters also become Personas, part of a government plan for military use, though originally intended to preserve part of you after death.
