Increase Personality During Personality Chance Choices

Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth - Personality Chance

Depending on what you choose for these, you can increase certain personality traits. If there is a particular trait you wish to increase, make the choice that leans towards that.

Complete Personality Challenges

Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth - Personality Challenge

Personality Challenges are cumulative missions that can increase specific Personality traits. For example, one of the missions requires Kasuga to talk to 30 people. Once this is done you receive +20 to your Kindness.

Get Honked

What is Honk Honk

There are various locations in the game that let you participate in Honk-Honk, an activity where you spend money to increase certain personality traits. While this is an easy method to increase your Personality, it shouldn't be a top priority as this can cost you a lot and money can be hard to come by especially in the early game.
