User blog comment:Yuji Otsutsuki/Player, Protagonist or Main Character?/@comment-2248043-20160124020939

"Protagonist", "main character", and "player character" are all used for what Yandere-chan and the protagonist of 1980s Mode can both do. This is because if only one word was used, it would get repetitive. I suppose "main character" is slightly incorrect as there are multiple main characters, but I thought people would automatically identify the main character as the playable caharacter.

"Yandere-chan" is used for what only Yandere-chan can do. When 1980s Mode comes, "Ryoba Aishi" may be used as well.

"The player" is used for what the player can do. Debug cheats, etc.
