**Akari Akaza** is one of the main characters from the *Yuru Yuri* anime and manga.

Thirteen-year-old Akari is just starting her first year of middle school, and she's excited to be reunited with her older friends Kyouko and Yui. She wastes no time joining her sempais in their "Amusement Club," and after that hilarity ensues — often at her expense.

In the TWA fics, Akari debuted in the Twisted World Animania - Yuru Yuri.

## **Appearance**

Akari is a young girl of average height. She has chin-length red hair, with two small tight buns (odango) on the sides of her head and an ahoge forming on top, and round purple eyes.

She is usually seen in her school uniform, but when not at school, she usually dresses casually, with light-colored clothes.

When Akari was younger, she had longer hair, extending to the middle of her back.

## **Personality**

Akari has a friendly and nice personality. She can easily make friends, but her small presence makes it easy for her to be forgotten or ignored. Her dream is being the center of attention. She's completely unable of being bad or doing bad things (as shown in the king's game in the season 3 episode 1). She gets easily scared and is prone to fainting when surprised or startled.

### **History**

In Chapter 5, Akari, alongside Kyouko Toshinou, are seen on the third floor of the Hidamari Apartments where Eddy Skipper McGee and Marco Diaz found them and would later introduce themselves to each other.

In Chapter 6, Akari, alongside Eddy Skipper McGee and Marco Diaz, are seen on the third floor of the Hidamari Apartments where she had a short conversation with Eddy before he and Marco made their way towards the fourth floor.

In Chapter 9, Akari, alongside Kyouko Toshinou, are seen sorting out the mails of the latter. She is later mentioned to have attended the welcoming party for Eddy Skipper McGee from the previous night.

## **Trivia**

* At the start of every episode, she introduces the episode after her friends shout "Akkari-n~!", she appears and is scheduled to say "Hey! YuruYuri's starting!" but ever since episode 2, it has been a running gag to prevent it from happening smoothly. Starting in season 3, however, the title call was removed completely.
	+ Additionally, characters who didn't appear in the actual episode would commonly appear in the episode's intro, usually becoming invisible together with Akari.
* She used to stand out more than Kyōko when they were children.
* She keeps an ant farm in her desk at school.
* She is good at playing Othello, proved in episode 12 where she beats Sakurako in a set of the game. It is revealed a little later she used her lack of presence to hide some of her moves, and as a result, confusing her opponent.
* She is also good at drawing, as shown in season 3 episode 3, and at making apple rabbits, as shown in season 3 episode 6, where she also shows skills in making pancakes with different shapes.
* She likes lightly salted potato chips.
* She was once unwillingly kissed by Chinatsu.
* Coincidentally, her voice actress, Shiori Mikami, voices Krista Lenz from *Attack on Titan*, while Ayano's voice actress, Saki Fujita, voices Ymir from the same series.
* She always goes to sleep at 9 pm.
