Akira Miyazaki

"*Your mother loved you, Sakura-chan, oh, she did. Her death would have gone in vain, if you didn't live to be cheerful. Truly so. She died so that you could live a joyous life, so Sakura, for your mother's, father's and my sake, go find someone or something worth living for and be happy.*"

**Akira Miyazaki** (宮崎晃 *Miyazaki Akira*) was the head of the Miyazaki Clan before Akio Miyazaki and is the late husband of Yukari Miyazaki and the father of Ayako Miyazaki. He was a father figure in Sakura's life, and she came to cherish him as much as he cherished her father.

## Appearance

Akira was a tall man of a slender build and was described by many people to be very handsome. He had short neck length white hair with bangs which covered his forehead and grey eyes. He usually wore a traditional yukata and was rarely seen in casual clothes.

## Personality

Akira was described as a beautifully kind person. However, he was also very melancholy, because those around him did not understand his loneliness and only treated him as head of the Miyazaki family. Yukari was the first person to recognize his loneliness and fear of dying alone, and as such, she fell in love with him.

### History

Akira was a lonely man, very quiet and kind. As said above, he was barely able to interact with people due to his terrible health. However, the maid Yukari managed to reach for him and become his companion, and within few months, they married.

Yukari and Akira lived very happily for a time, and within those months, Sakura Miyazaki moved into the main estate. Sakura and Akira barely interacted for the first few weeks, but then grew very close after he showed Sakura his personal garden, as Sakura describes:

"*Akira-san and I became inseparable, we would do everything together, we would sit in the garden; drink tea; tell each other stories; play together; he'd help me study; he'd be with me when I was scared and wouldn't let go until I felt all better; he'd tell me stories; he'd bake me cakes; we would draw stuff together; he'd come pick me up after my Dojo lessons, which I had resumed after what he told me about Otto-san and Oka-san; he'd pick me up after school; he was there when I won my first competition, he'd cheer for me; he'd tell me weird jokes that made no sense, but I found them funny all the same; he'd teach me important lessons about life, just like Oka-san did; he'd help me steal cookies from the pantry, just like Otto-san did; he'd push me to achieve my dream of becoming a hero, just like both of my parents did.*"
—*Sakura Miyazaki about Akira Miyazaki*

Yukari found out that she was pregnant. Akira was over the moon, and during those days was the time Akira revealed his Secret Garden to her.

Then, Ayako was born, but the problem was that she was a girl. Yukari suggested that the she should be raised as a boy, and since Akira loved her, he could only agree. It went smoothly for a couple of months, but then Akira died, leaving a mentally broken Sakura and an infant daughter in the care of Yukari, who hated them the most.

## Quirk

**Grace** (恵み *Megumi*) is Akira's quirk. It allows him to give off a very comfortable and graceful aura and helps him keep calm in unsettling or dangerous situations. However, his quirk was the primary reason of his loneliness.
