To give you some more perspective:
The oldest confirmed Persona user (Boafu) is 33 years and 9 months older than the youngest (Sumi).
Tohru Adachi is just two years the Persona 2: Innocent Sin cast's junior.
Katsuya Suou is turning 50 next year (2023).
The only confirmed S.E.E.S. members that are not yet in their 30s (this 2022) is Junpei, Ken, and maybe Koromaru [if he's still around which I hope so].
Sojiro Sakura might be the same generation as the Persona 2: Eternal Punishment cast.
Ryotaro Dojima (1970) is the same generation as the P2:EP cast and is three years younger than Boafu, and three years older than Katsuya.
Reiji Kido's child is probably the same age as Ken Amada and the Phantom Thieves.
Please send in any additions or corrections! I'll edit this the list if necessary.

Takes after Strikers. Akira is a 3rd year but still 17 in this verse. He gets transfer back to Tokyo in the fall, due to his parents working overtime and they don't want Akira all by himself even though Morgana is with him.
-
Still lives in LeBlanc with Sojiro and has his powers, just in different ways ( see my other posts for more information about various techniques and weapons Akira has in his possession ). Goes to Tokyo Jujutsu High but is allowed to wear his Shujin or Seven Sisters uniform as the facility don't have a outfit for him to wear at the moment as it takes months for one to come in his size.
-
Akira still wears his glasses as usual but doesn't wear them in special occasions, like watching fireworks or using the sauna like in his previous times in Tokyo. He still goes by Kurusu instead of Amano-Suou mainly because once again, he doesn't want anything to do with his parents, even Maya, because they once again shipped him off, this time without Yaldabaoth's / Shido's interference.
-
The higherups of the Jujutsu high wanted to keep an eye on the ex-phantom thief and pulled some strings to make sure Akira was kept under a watchful eye ( ironic because he himself has his third eye ability ).
-
He thinks Gojo-sensei is cool unlike most of the rest of the school. Mostly cool, relaxed, calm, Akira still has a little bit of rebellious and angry nature to him. Most people tend to avoid him but Akira is able to make friends with Yuji, Yuta, and Toge.
Akira has a major crush on Maki Zenin and he's always shouting out his love for her, even if the actions make him look cringe. He gets second hand embarrassment afterwards when he goes back out of his lovesickness ( usually with Maki accidently beating him up and to snap out of it ). Akira is working on how to deal and keep in check these feelings, as they are something that is new to him.
-
His Grade as a sorcerer is Semi-Grade 1 and his weapon Grade is Grade 4. Akira is constantly trying to improve both scores but is more worried about his lack in weapon variations.
-
Akira's ancestors have been around since the Sengoku period, which is an Imaginary Legend made possible from Nyarlathotep, in which Akira is a cursed vessel ( before, his uncle Tatsuya Suou bore the curse on his hand instead but now Akira has inherited the Eternal Punishment ), just like with Yuji and a few others. Nyarlathotep dictated a poem to Tatsuya Sudou and made him believe that it was a prophecy from Maian aliens. Sudou then conversely passed it to Akira's uncle Jun's dad, Akinari Kashihara, so he could add it to the supposedly mystical tome he was writing, In Lak'ech. In reality, the events in the story were bogus and nonsensical, but were being transformed into reality by Nyarlathotep and his minions in order to cheat his bet with willpower, showing that humanity would ultimately destroy itself.
-
Akira agrees to be a sorcerer to make sure his mother doesn't come to harm, otherwise if she dies, the whole world does with her, just like in the Tsumi reality. JJK like with all of the Persona 2 EP events and onwards take place in the Batsu reality. His bad reputation proceeds him, with most other perceiving Akira as a no good thug or player unless they take the time to get to know him like Maki, Toge, Yuji, Yuta, and Gojo sensei.
He thinks Sukuna's mindset, personality, and ideals are laughable and out of touch with the world today, thinking the curse guy is beginning to stagnate, something Akira himself can't stand in the slightest. Doesn't interact that much and when Akira is in the same area as the curse king, treats Sukuna like he's not even there, as if Akira becomes a non-sorcerer in those situations, imaginary wise of course. Corrects Sukuna all the time in asking to call Akira a butterfly instead of a worm, ( in which technically they are the same but you know, velvet room and all that jazz) .
