Akemi Aizawa

* Manga
* Anime

**Akemi Aizawa** (相沢 あけみ *Aizawa Akemi*) is the wife of Gorou Aizawa and the mother of Tomo Aizawa.

## Appearance

Akemi bears a striking resemblance to Tomo Aizawa (according to Misaki Gundou) as they both share the same wild red hair, red eyes, a toned and well-endowed figure with a sizable bust and visible small fangs, but the only difference is that Akemi has longer hair tied in a ponytail with bangs covering her forehead while it is split on either side with shoulder-length hair strands and she is slightly taller than her already fairly tall daughter.

In her youth, Akemi wore a long skirted school uniform akin to those of the "sukeban" (*delinquent girl* or *boss girl*), the notorious girl gangs of 1980's Japanese pop culture.

## Personality

Akemi can be pretty explosive when angered, sometimes even more than Tomo Aizawa.

## Background

### Early life

Akemi is childhood friends with Misaki Gundou, but they were always at ends due to their opposing personalities.

### School life

During her school years, Akemi was possibly a "sukeban", a member of a girl gang. It was shown that she and Gorou Aizawa were in a relationship during high school and she would pull him out of fights.

Akemi appears in chapter 1 when he arrives from school arguing with gorou while akemi cooks, then he appears in chapter 4 when jun is going to wake up to tomo to go the two dojo they go down to the room there akemi appears saying "hey why they make so much scandal so early even made me get up" there jun the angry lady flame akemi pulls his ear asking him to call her akemi then they have breakfast and jun asks akemi if gorou is not going to have breakfast akemi answers: well you already know him he doesn't leave that dojo neither to eat nor to stop he doesn't even step on the house he even says he says that he is ashamed to see me in the face is a lady in the cave of a bear, akemi appears in the dojojo to be surprised and explain to gorou the challenge of jun with tomo making gorou faint.

## Relationships

### Gorou Aizawa

Gorou is Akemi's husband who often acts as the interface between her outright eccentric dojo master husband and society at large.

### Tomo Aizawa

Tomo is Akemi's daughter who is very much aware of her attraction towards Junichirou Kubota and tries to nudge her his way as much as she can. She even indicates (as does Jun's mom) that they'd be supportive of Tomo having a baby with Jun very young.

Tomo inherited her good looks and figure from Akemi.

### Junichirou Kubota

En un principio akemi ya notaba los sentimientos de su hija hacia jun incluso podría decirse que tenía la certerza que podrían ser novios en cualquier momento una de afirmaciones es cuando tomo le pide a sus padres permiso para dormir en casa de jun diciendo “ ya veo creí que tendríamos más tiempo entonces es hora de pensarlo el nombre de mi nieto” afirmando que ya esperaba una relación entre su hija y jun. Luego cuando jun pide a los padres de tomo que puedan ser novios akemi lo acepto fácilmente ( más rápido que gorou) Luego akemi trató de apoyar su relación como cuando hizo que gorou le permitíera ser el novio de tomo alegrándose por su relación

### Misaki Gundou

Akemi was a childhood friend of Misaki (Misuzu Gundou's mother), but it is unknown if they are still friends or not.
