AI: The Somnium Files Wiki


"A-are you serious? It's Kagami!"
–Kaniza fretting over Date forgetting his name

Araya Kagami (加賀見 阿頼耶, Kagami Araya), also known as simply Kagami (カガミ, Kagami) or Inspector (鑑識官, Forensic Officer), is a minor character featured in AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES and AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES - nirvanA Initiative.

Kagami is a forensic police officer who works for the CSI unit of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. He's an expert investigator with remarkable skills. On November 1st, 2019, he was assigned as the lead forensic investigator for the murder of Shoko Nadami, and on November 3rd* becomes the forensic investigator for the New Cyclops Serial Killings.

Design[]

Kagami is an average looking Japanese man in his 30s. He's usually seen wearing a white face mask, and wears a blue Forensics Officer's Uniform and Hat. In the rain and cold weather, he is seen wearing a similarly colored raincoat with a hood.

Personality[]

A normally professional and straight forward investigator, Kagami is a professional, and shows deference to his superiors, regardless of their age or gender. He's friendly with the people he works with, and appears to have a good working relationship with his peers, and appears to have a close working relationship with agents of ABIS.

However, he is the victim of people constantly forgetting his name, and often in increasingly bizarre and esoteric ways. Over time, he becomes increasingly confused, upset and eventually resigned to the fact that his name is simply extremely forgettable. He even manages to forget his own name on occasion after it happens enough. Kagami appears to have a bit of a horny side, and once openly admits to liking large breasts (albeit in Spanish).

Story[]

Murder of Shoko Nadami[]

On Friday, November 1st, 2019, Kagami was called to Bloom Park to investigate Shoko Nadami's murder, where he met Kaname Date. He had not made any significant progress with the investigation, and asked Date not to step too close to the merry-go-round while footprints were still being taken. Date later ignored his warning and ran onto the merry-go-round after hearing a sound from inside.

A: New Cyclops Serial Killings[]

On the morning of Sunday, November 3rd, Kagami investigated Sunfish Pocket, the scene of Renju Okiura's murder. When Date visited with Mizuki Okiura, he informed him that the investigation had found no new leads.

AA: Inspect Bloodstain in Cold Storage Warehouse[]

On the fourth day after the incident, November 4th, Kagami was assigned to identify bloodstains that appeared in the Cold Storage Warehouse, after the battle between Ota Matsushita and the Bloody Polar Bear. However, he did not notice any suspicious clues in the course of his investigation.

AAB: Track Down Another Blood Sample[]

Date's Psync into Ota revealed that he injured the polar bear's left leg and left blood stains during the fight. During the day on the 5th, Date asked Kagami to collect the DNA information in the blood as soon as possible; at sunset, Kagami notified him, saying that the collection work had been completed.

AB: Inspect Murder of Iris and Ota[]

On the fourth day after the murder, November 4th, Kagami was assigned to identify bloodstains in the Cold Storage Warehouse to collect clues. He did not notice any suspicious clues in the course of his investigation, however.

B: Disappearance of Renju Okiura[]

Kagami was out of Date's sights for a few days, as no new victims emerged for a long time after Shoko Nadami's body was discovered. After Manaka Iwai's body was found by Aiba, some inspectors came to the warehouse, but it's not sure if Araya was among them.

BB: Pewter's Escort[]

TBA

Half Body Serial Killings[]


It is known that Kagami participated in 4 crime scene identifications in the Half Body Serial Killings that occurred in 2020. Twice at Studio Dvaita, once at Yoyagi Park, and once at Misetan Rooftop Amusement Park, where the corpses of Jin Furue, Chikara Horadori, and Andes Komeji, were placed.

6 Years After Half Body Serial Killings[]

Six years later, he once again participated in the identification of the scene where halved corpses was witnessed. Once at Tokyo National Stadium and once at Naix Japan President's Office, where the bodies of Uru Somezuki and Tokiko Shigure were found respectively.

A week after the case ended, on February 22nd, he visited Sunfish Pocket, claiming to investigate the lives of young women.

Trivia[]

  • One of the names for which Kaname Date misremembers Kagami is "Kaniza" (かに座), and states that his birthday is most likely between June 22nd and July 22nd. Kaniza is the Japanese name for the constellation Cancer, which is the time span associated with those dates in the zodiac horoscope. With his birthday as July 20, 1989, Kagami matches the horoscope of Cancer.
  • Another set of names for which he is misremembered are "Kodaka" and "Taro." This is most likely a reference to Kazutaka Kodaka, the creator of the Danganronpa series, and Yoko Taro, director of the Drakengard and NieR games. They are both friends with Kotaro Uchikoshi, director of AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES.
  • In a fan-made Character Poll for AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES held on Twitter, Araya Kagami came in 6th place, barely beaten by Iris Sagan by a single point.[1]
  • In the game's files, Kagami's assets for his models are tagged under the name "Kansiki," meaning "forensics."
