She's generally quite cheerful, but very serious when she needs to be, like when doing her 'job' as the leader of MASEC. When she sets her mind on winning something, she'll make sure that she wins though not that may not always be too ethical (like when she won a challenge against Ejji Rodo in the abandoned school building by making a mark on one of the cards. thus cheating to win).

## Biography

Born on an island off the coast of Japan, she grew up with her older (by one year) sister, in a rich family because their father runs a very successful record label company. And so she grew up in luxury. around the age of 10, she discovered that she was pretty bad with technology. As she accidentally broke a crane game machine at a festival held at the time (jury's still out how she managed to do so, however). From that point, she grew to not use tech as much as other kids her age. a few years later she send an application with the help of one of the maids to Majimena Academy, and she got approved!

Due to her ample bust, she got and continues to get stared at by the few boys at the academy (and outside it as well). Though ever since she joined the Ethics Committee it has happened way less. Probably due to the power she now holds.

At the academy, on the first day, she met her now best friend Yui Hibina and they have been friends ever since.

Akane has a very good bond with her parents. They have always cared deeply for both her and her sister. Even if they aren't home all the time, they try to make the best of the time together they do have.
