Sakamoto Ryoma is requested by Todo Heisuke to kill Akimoto at the brothel where his courtesan love interest Mizuki works. After fighting Akimoto, Ryoma does not want to kill him and urges him to escape out the back and leave Kyoto. Akimoto wants Mizuki to come with him however, and she hesitates, giving Todo time to come in and slice him in the chest. Todo tells Ryoma afterwards that, suspecting he might not carry out the order to kill Akimoto, he made sure to surround the place so that Akimoto would not have been able escape from the back.
Akimoto later appears in Mukurogai, where Ryoma finds him in hiding, alive and well. Akimoto explains that while he recovered miraculously from his attempted murder, he has been reported as deceased, and as such couldn't visit Mizuki anymore and had to hide in Mukurogai. However, he asks Ryoma if he can rejoin the Shinsengumi under Ryoma's third division, as a way to get close to Mizuki once again. If Ryoma accepts, Akimoto's assist soldier card will be unlocked and usable.
== Fighting Style ==
Akimoto lacks any combative experience; thus, his swordfighting skills are extremely limited and sloppy. He holds his katana in the chūdan-no-kamae stance. His moveset includes the following:
* a downward vertical slash,
* a running downward diagonal left slash, and
* pointing his sword at Sakamoto while stumbling backward, which can deal damage.
