Kaname Date

Special Agent Kaname Date (伊達 鍵, Date Kaname) is the main protagonist of AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES, as well as a main character in AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES - nirvanA Initiative.
He is voiced by Tarusuke Shingaki in the Japanese version and by Greg Chun in the English version.
==Biography==
He is a special police officer known as a Psyncer for the Advanced Brain Investigation Squad at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department in Japan. He is investigating the Cyclops Serial Killings in an attempt to catch the perpetrator and bring an end to the killings. In the past, Date lost his left eye in an unknown incident and eventually had it replaced with an artificial eyeball containing an AI construct, Aiba.
==Abilities==
While capable of some incredible feats, nothing indicates that Date has been altered or empowered in anyway besides having Aiba; he's simply a very strong and determined human. Notably, whenever he becomes excited, his reaction time increased by 3.6 times, granting him superhuman physical capabilities such as super strength and incredible speed. According to himself in AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES - nirvanA Initiative, he obtained these powers after being bitten by a white snake while in close proximity of a porno mag, thus causing his mind to associate the thrill of danger with the excitement of pornography, though whether or not this story is true is unclear.
Aside from that, he's very skilled in martial arts and marksmanship, with Aiba allowing him to make incredibly precise shots.
==Personality ==
While Date can lack tact and be pretty stubborn, as well as give plenty of snark, Date remains very nice to civilians and those he is close to. Even his teasing relationship with Aiba is still incredibly on good terms, and his strained relationship with Mizuki still shows he cares about her very much.
