The Sun Social Link in Persona 3 Reload is represented by Akinari Kamiki. He is one of the easiest Social Link in Persona 3 Reload to Rank Up, but you'll have several tasks to complete before you can unlock Rank 1. Akinari's Social Link is also easy to miss if you're not checking the areas around Tatsumi Port Island. However, given the simplicity of maxing out the Sun Social Link, it's one you'll want to complete on your first playthrough for the gameplay perks.

Sun Social Link General Information
How to Unlock the Sun Social Link
You can spend time with Akinari Kamiki at the Naganaki Shrine on Sundaysonly. Therefore, it's recommended you finish Maya's Social Link as soon as possible so that you can save your Sundays for Akinari.
You'll need to do the following to unlock the Sun Social Link in Persona 3 Reload:
- Have Level 4 Academics (Smart).
- Start Rank 3 of the Hanged Man (Maiko) Social Link.
- Get the Red Fountain Pen key item.
On 5/6, you'll overhear students at Gekkoukan talking about an elementary school student at the Naganaki Shrine. This is your cue to visit the shrine to meet Maiko and start the Hanged Man Social Link. You'll need to spend some time with her (i.e, start Rank 3) before meeting Akinari Kamiki.
You'll then need to make sure you have Level 4 Academics. This is arguably the hardest Social Stat to rank up, as it takes longer than Courage and Charm. Some methods of improving Academics is by eating at Wakatsu or not sleeping during class.
Where to Find the Red Fountain Pen Key Item
You won't be able to get the Red Fountain Pen until after Koromaru has joined SEES. Once this happens, you can find Akinari near the Inari Shrine at Naganaki. If you have level 4 Academics, he'll mention a "red-eyed beast" that stole his pen. Go to Iwatodai Dorm and speak to Koromaru to get the red pen, then return to Naganaki Shrine.

Sun Social Link Completion Reward
Since Akinari's Social Link ranks up each time you hang out with him, you won't need to have a Persona of the Sun Arcana. Because of this, it doesn't matter which choice you select. You can choose to be supportive or rude to Akinari, and you'll still reach Rank 10 with little effort.
