==Profile==
===Attire===
Akaike wears a black suit over a white-dotted reddish purple dress shirt. When conducting an ambush, he wears a blue mask over his face.
==Background==
Akaike was a student in Yu Kitakata's homeroom at Kurokawa Academy. Together with Shinya Kawai, Yui Suzuki, and six others, he would bully Mitsuru Kusumoto until he fell comatose from attempting suicide. Akaike, along with the other collaborators, solely blamed Kawai after they learned of Mitsuru's coma. He would graduate in 2009.
Circa 2016, he was approached by his former homeroom teacher who had assumed the identity of Jin Kuwana. He and his other collaborators were shown video of them bullying Mitsuru they day he attempted suicide and blackmailed into capturing Kawai. When Kawai refused to enter the car, they forcefully abducted him and brought him where they were requested to bring him. 
The next day, they were all notified that Kawai was killed and their abduction of him was recorded by Kuwana. The abduction video and the presence of their fingerprints on Kawai's corpse were used as more potent leverage. He would participate in the indirect killing of at least five other former bullies.
==Involvement==
===Lost Judgment: 2021===
Akaike and co. abduct Hiro Mikoshiba and take him to an abandoned building in Isezaki Ijincho so Akihiro Ehara can murder him. When Mikoshiba's death is made public and the crime scene is visited by Takayuki Yagami and Kisuke Watanabe, Akaike and two of his fellow graduates spy on them, but are noticed and Akaike is chased down by Yagami. When questioned, he states he and the other two were checking out the crime scene while visiting Yokohama for a high school reunion, successfully avoiding suspicion.
Akaike and three others are contacted by Yui Mamiya when Yagami and Sugiura suspect her involvement in fabricating Ehara's murder alibi. They wait outside until she gives them the signal to attack, at which point they enter only to be defeated by the detective duo. Kuwana later calls the Kurokawa graduates to an underground parking lot to defeat Yagami, but fail. Yagami then takes photos of everyone present to deter them from attacking him again.
To avoid exposing himself, Kuwana has Akaike pick up a disguised Yagami for a meeting. Their plan to remain covert fails as Reiko Kusumoto had revealed the Kurokawa graduates' link to Kuwana, leading to RK tailing Akaike. When they arrive at the scene, Kazuki Soma slits Akaike's throat, killing him. His corpse is burned beyond recognition by the fire started by Kuwana's bomb.
