Akari Kutsuki

"I never had the chance to live like everyone else. Yes, they took that from me... and all I could do was run. Eventually, I got tired of running and decided to fight back. That's why I'm here." -Akari revealing her past to Cokity in their Rank 1 Drink Link
Akari Kutsuki is one of the main playable characters in Cokity & Wilhelm Rewrite the United States Constitution. Whilst, initially, her identity and motivations are unknown, she eventually reveals herself after Cokity, Wilhelm, and Penny begin their raid on the New World Order HQ.
Akari first appears in the second chapter, observing a turf-war between the Korazzo Family and the Jiu-En Triad, and appears once again in Chapter 3, directly interfering with Joshua Smith's efforts to 'exorcise' Cokity. Akari appears infrequently from then on, but remains a persistent mystery until her eventual reveal. In truth, she is a descendant of the Japanese historian and disgraced ex-samurai, Masato Kutsuki, whose writings serve as a major aspect of the game's plot.
== Personality ==
Akari is initially mysterious, keeping her motivations to herself and often remaining silent. After joining the Inside NY investigators, however, her true self is revealed. Akari has a no-nonsense attitude and a strong sense of duty, knowing exactly what she is doing and why. However, this mask of confidence slips as the plans of the New World Order progress. In moments of peace, Akari is shown to still be rather naïve and curious about the world, particularly aspects of life she was unable to enjoy in her youth. She values trust and knowledge above all else, and seeks to understand people and the world ever more.
== Background ==
Akari was born on the 15th of August, 1999, in Honolulu, Hawaii. Her father was a direct descendant of Masato Kutsuki. For the first few years of her life, she lived peacefully with her parents. However, soon after her 8th birthday, suspicious characters began to roam the streets, seemingly searching for something. In truth, these were agents of the New World Order, who had tracked the Kutsuki's to Hawaii. Eventually, their leader, Hunter, showed up in person, having his forces ransack the house and kidnap the three residents.
[Insert here later]
Akari was able to track the New World Order to their headquaters in New York City. In order to disguise herself effectively, she adopted the Ronin identity. For a long time, there was little she could do to interfere with the group, but with the astonishing success of Cokity, Wilhelm, and Penny against the NWO, she saw the opportunity she'd been waiting for. 
== Trivia ==
* Akari's backstory is greatly inspired by that of Jessica Hyde from the Channel 4 conspiracy thriller, Utopia.
* Akari's skill names (save for fortitude) are entirely in Japanese, much like how Wilhelm's skills are often in German. Coincidentally, both are skilled sword wielders.
* Akari's appearance and role as the Ronin is somewhat similar to that of Sheik from The Legend of Zelda.
