Akihito Aikawa

## General Information

Akihito Aikawa is a newly appointed Black Void student at Duel Academy. He is fairly new to the dueling school, and as such only knows a handful of people at the school. However a lot of people see a lot of potential in Akihito and his deck, which is something that he himself does not see.

## Personality

Akihito is a very calm and composed person. He usually does not stick well to a big group of people, but enjoys being around the people he likes. Akihito can also at times be a quite type when he is not in his element. This can be when he is all alone, or not with the people he is usually with. At the moment he does not have many friends, which means that he isn't all that active.

## Backstory

Akihito Aikawa was the son of a British business man and a caring Japanese mother. Though even in his younger years he felt like the world he lived in was boring. There wasn't much excitement in his life. School felt like an annoying thing to deal with, and when he got home he just sort of did nothing. This lead to him growing up with not many friends, as he didn't even try to fit in with the others. This changed however, when he got his first rival. One day someone challenged Akihito to a duel, and he accepted. Knowing nothing of the game, he dueled and lost to him. Though in this duel, Akihito felt something that he had not felt before. The joy of dueling. The fun of being around others, and dueling against them. And from that day forward Akihito would try to get that same feeling he once had. He picked up a deck that he felt belonged to him, and resonated with. This deck was none other than Red-Eyes, and began dueling more than he ever did. However this joy of dueling would soon fade away, as he would lose a lot of duels. His losing streaks began rising and rising, and his confidence in his abilities and deck began fading as did his joy of dueling. But after appointing to the Duel Academy, and doing very well at his exam he did feel very happy about it. Yet something was off. Something he himself could not explain.

## Deck

#### Red-Eyes

This is Akihito's one any only deck. It is a deck he had used ever since he has started dueling. Yet it is also one that he has always lost when using it. Either through Akihito's own arrogance, or that his deck was not strong enough to beat the opponents deck. Either way this deck had a lot of loses on its belt. But something happened with the deck. The deck began changing when Akihito was arriving at Duel Academy. It had almost evolved on its own, and become stronger as a result. With it Akihito was able to become a Black Void student, even though he lost the duel. This was all, because of Akihito's spirit card Red-Eyes Black Dragon. It evolved itself to become stronger along with the deck. Now the deck is stronger than ever before, and can be a dangerous to duel against.

The most powerful card in his deck is his boss monster: Red-Eyes Perfect Flare Dragoon.

## Trivia

* At the moment Akihito has not gotten a single win, which in partially is because of his own self confidence, and taking too many risks.
* Akihito's name was not supposed to be Akihito, but instead Akihiro (The name of one of Xray's other oc's). It was changed last second, as a result and will as such stay like that. Akihito and Akihiro's design is also very similar with the only exception being the hair and eye color.
* His original personality got changed, after the creator (Xray) wanted to try something new and so became the person he was. Akihito's original personality was going to rely on him having a rival, which ultimately got scrapped.
