Persona 5 Confidant Guide – Man of the People, Yoshida (Speech-Giving Man)
The first real interaction with Speech-Giving Man is after you have the ability to explore Shibuya at night. It’s not long after completing the first Palace. Once you can explore Shibuya in the evenings, head to Station Square and speak with the Speech-Giving Man there. After the initial conversation you have to get a part-time job called Ore No Beko at the Beef Bowl Shop in Shibuya. To get a job head into Sibuya Station and interact with the leaflets to apply for the job.
You have to complete several shifts at work until you get a busy night, typically a weekend. You’ll know when it’s busy as you’ll have to memorize different orders. After completing that shift the Speech-Giving Man will speak with you. You can then visit him giving a speech the next evening to advance this relationship.
Shortly after your next visit Morgana will mention the Speech-Giving Man when you return to the cafe in the evening. Head back to speak with him again and this time you’ll need to diffuse a conflict between two passing civilians before reassuring Yoshida that you have faith in his ability.
I received a random text message from Yoshida around 5/29, inviting me to work alongside him for another speech. Answer correctly, with change the world and conviction, and you’ll increase your friendship level with Yoshida and gain bonus points to your Charm Social Stat.
The next time he wanted to text me took a couple weeks. I’m starting to think you don’t actually need to get the questions right for his Arcana to go up, but I’ll still give answers.

Blaine "Captain Camper" Smith is one of the original founders of Gamers Heroes. Now operating under the guise of Editor-in-Chief (purely because we felt the position was needed for public relations purposes), he's tasked with a lot of the kind of jobs that would put you to sleep at your desk.
When he's not catching some Zs, you'll likely find him arguing points he knows nothing about, playing the latest rogue-like he'll never complete, or breaking something on the website that never needed fixing.
You can best reach him on Twitter
