Chie Satonaka (里中 千枝, Satonaka Chie^?) is a fictional character from the 2008 video game Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4. There she appears as a high school student who starts investigating a dimension labeled as the TV World alongside her friends. The kidnapping of her best friend Yukiko Amagi leads Chie to join the Investigation Team in working in a murder case where the victims are sent to the be TV World to be killed by creatures known as Shadows. Besides printed and animated adaptations of the Persona 4 game, Chie has also appeared in the fighting games Persona 4 Arena and Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, the dungeon crawler Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth, and the rhythm game Persona 4: Dancing All Night

Critical reception to the character has been positive due to both of her fighting and feminine traits. However, critics were differing when commenting the English voice acting from Chie featured in the games.

Chie Satonaka is an upbeat girl with an obsession with kung fu, even using those techniques in battle. Chie serves as the player's Social Link to The Chariot; this is symbolized in the animated series by Yu's usage of the Persona Ara Mitama (アラミタマ^?). Writer Patrick Hayes stated that her Shadow "represents her desire to maintain dominance over Yukiko in their relationship as well as her jealousy of Yukiko's feminine qualities and skills." In the designing of the character, various sketches were made with some of them being reminiscent to previous Persona characters.
