## Background

Akane is the daughter of a baseball-star-turned-manager of a college football team. She idolizes him, but doesn't get to see him all too often due to his busy job.

After Dream♡Core debuted, Akane's father tasked her with asking the new idol group to promote his baseball team. She happily obliged and wasted no time in seeking out the school idol club. Dream♡Core obliged, and Akane offered to help in any way she could.

When coming up with lyrics and choreography proved difficult for Dream♡Core, they came up with the idea to have Akane become a school idol and perform with them. Akane was hesitant, because she didn't believe being an idol fit her more tomboyish image. However, she eventually put her love of sports and her father above her insecurities and was welcomed into Dream♡Core with open arms.

## Personality

Akane is a hot-blooded, energetic, outspoken go-getter with a love of physical activity and sports. She claims to love all sports, but her favorite sport of all time, according to her, would by cycling. She attributes her love of the sport to a simple phrase. "It's like running, but twice as fast!"

Akane also has a huge appetite. Some have reported to have seen her eat an entire large hamburger in only three bites. Others will say that she will order multiple orders' worth of fast food and eat the entire thing without breaking a sweat. Akane understands that eating such large portions of food will cause her to gain weight, so she aims to burn as much calories as she consumed each day with exercise.

Akane is rather impatient. Because of that, Akane has a particularly difficult time studying and focusing during class. More often than not, she'll be the first one in her class to finish a test. The one physical activity Akane dislikes is yoga, as she doesn't understand why she has to spend a majority of the exercises staying still. On the rare occasions that she actually does do yoga, she'll tend to hold her breath and strain herself. While others spend their time in an onsen relaxing, Akane will attempt to swim laps like she's in a swimming pool.

Akane always tries to stay positive and upbeat. Whenever she's in a bad mood, which is rare, she'll tend to shut down and refuse to speak, or even look at others.
