Here is our Sun Social Link Guide for Akinari Kamiki in Persona 3 Portable. The guide includes the dialogue options, his available days, and more.

This guide may contain spoilers, so do be careful. It is also important to note that this guide is for Persona 3 Portable, which originally came out in 2010, as well as in 2023 with the port. The Social Link Guide for Sun in Persona 3 Reload is a different guide altogether.

Persona 3 Portable Akinari Kamiki Sun Social Link Guide

You can find him in the Naganaki Shrine during the day on Sundays. Unlike Persona 4 and 5, the Protagonist does not get additional skills during battle. If you do max his Social Link, however, you will receive the Worn Notebook, which allows the fusion of Asura.

Akinari Kamiki Dialogue Options

Male Protagonist

If you choose to play as the male protagonist, you can start the Social Link after August 8. To start it, the player must first reach Rank 4 in Academics, as well as reach Rank 3 in their Hanged Man Social Link. On any Sunday after, speak with him in Naganaki Shrine to find out that a creature with red eyes stole his fountain pen. Talk to Koromaru once they joins SEES on August 8 to receive the Pen. Talking to Akinari again will start the Social Link.
