Date, more commonly known as Dante is a Kaimei student who is a huge fan of the visual kei subculture. He is the vocalist for the visual kei band JardiN. Despite his strong onstage presence, Dante is very shy and gets embarrassed easily. He has trouble adequately expressing himself and is frequently misunderstood as a result. This is primarily due to the fact that he tends to speak in short, abstract phrases which must be interpreted by the listener. Additionally, though he has a gothic image, he enjoys shounen manga - Naruto in particular. Also, Date's misunderstood language is said by Himeko and Bossun to be "visual kei" or visual language, which is a language used by certain people, mostly by shy people who have trouble communicating with others and sometimes, by people use it to look cool or gothic, which Date uses for both reasons.
