When the Investigation Team reach both Naoto and her Shadow, it is implied that Naoto planned to be kidnapped and thrown inside the Midnight Channel in the first place. Naoto's dungeon is the " Secret Laboratory", which could represent Naoto's personality even though she acts mature for her age, deep inside she harbors a childlike urge to be accepted by the adults who do not view her as their equal. Her determination to become a detective comes from both her deceased parents, who were great detectives in their day, and the line of detectives carrying the Shirogane name. In spite of her reputation as a prodigy detective and her determination to help out, she is treated like a child by members of the police department. She resents the fact that detectives, unlike regular police officers, are quickly brushed aside soon after they have solved a case. She modeled herself after her idols in old detective movies, becoming an expert detective and hiding her femininity, and talking like an adult as much as possible. After always being treated as inferior by the police force of Japan, not just because she's a woman but also because she's a teenager. In Naoto's dungeon, however, the characters learn the truth about the way she thinks. (During the prologue in Golden, however, she's shown to be much more comfortable presenting herself as a woman.) The references to gender in her character-arc often leads fans to surmise that Naoto might be transgender, or at least primarily masculine-presenting considering that she continues wearing male clothing for the rest of the original game and Arena. After being thrown into the Midnight Channel, it is revealed that Naoto is female. Dubbed the “Detective Prince” by Persona 4's media outlets, Naoto is introduced before being named as a 'Slender Young Man'.
