==Concept==
The concept for Akari is "She illuminates you all with her voice" (縁で結ばれた人達（星）との紲を灯で照らす). 
Her age and height were listed on VOCALOMAKETS' blog. Her official birthday is listed as December 22.http://www.vocalomakets.com/blog/archives/1003 As Yukari is based on the moon, Akari is based on "starlight", keeping with the astronomical theme. 
===Etymology===
Her name is a play on "stars" or "light" (星), with "Stars" being a representation of people, her name means "Star Light". Her name at the time of her provider's recording was "Starry Akari" (紲星あかり).https://www.dtmstation.com/archives/22442.html
She is themed on the word "Connection" (結, kizuna), though originally they wanted to go with a play on "bond" due to translation issues with the kanji and details about her. There were also troubles with getting her name to match the team's themes and ideas for her.
===Appearance===
A number of her design details, such as her hair ornament, are based on the design of her predecessor Yuzuki Yukari. However, she does not have a concept and instead references a star, keeping the astronomical theme. Her hair is silver and she was purposely designed with the intention of having long hair.
The orange colors come from the phrase "She illuminates you all with her voice" (縁で結ばれた人達（星）との紲を灯で照らす). The design is based on a star shining its light on people and the orange represents the concept of "shining light".
To differentiate from her VOICEROID design, Akari wears headsets instead of hair ornaments for VOCALOID4. She is also wearing a pair of lace-up boots rather than heeled mary-janes.

===Voicebanks===
;Kizuna Akari
:The Kizuna Akari vocal is a voicebank created to contrast the Yuzuki Yukari vocal. For example, Yukari is better for slower paced songs, but Akari handles faster ones and whereas Yukari is softer in tone, Akari is brighter sounding.

;Kizuna Akari - Talk
:To match Yuzuki Yukari, Akari also has a VOICEROID vocal. It is capable of matching the singing vocal of Akari and is designed for a producer to be able to use both singing and speech vocals in the same production. The idea is that the listener to be able to tell the two voices are from the same vocalist.
