## Personality

Akira is not able to keep a steady conversation going without sarcasm. Akira is extremely enthusiastic and hyper about the things he enjoys, and cannot take complement, he always finds a way to make it back handed. Due to him leading on a double life, he finds it hard to get attached to others, and when he does, he pretends like their presence doesn't phase him. He gets flustered very easily at the people who try to talk with him.

If you are liked by Akira, he will flood you with complements, and he will easily pick up on the moods you are in and knows what you want to hear; using that to either make or break your day. He enjoys seeing people mad, just because it's amusing to him, and says crude things just to get a reaction out of people.

He has a lot of egotistical issues. He believes if someone is better than him at anything; they are out to get him, and if you give him criticism, he takes it as you making fun of him. Pointing out that he is wrong in an argument makes him furious and will most likely take him to rampage; when it happens, he usually insults a person where it hurts most.

Akira is also a good liar, and is quite bold and courageous. Simply put, if he wants something done, or he wants to do something, he makes sure it happens. He is good at making excuses on a short notice and is a slacker. Akira never thinks about the future, more whats happening in the moment. He just wants to enjoy his time in the moment, causing him to do things that aren't exactly logical sometimes.

## Backstory

Akira's father Scott was a traveler, when his mother, Bibi, had an affair with him. Akira was born in Japan, but his father didn't reject him. His father offered Akira a life in America so that he could have a life full of almost any opportunity he'd wanted. After taking it to court, the jury agreed to it, only if every few years, he could spend a few months in Japan with her to catch up with his mother. So for most of his life, Akira lived in Park City, Utah. His father played for a college in California, UCLA.

He was traveling back and forth constantly, between Utah and California. Utah every other weekend to see Scott's family, and then back to California where they lived. Scott, tried his best to raise Akira, to spend as much time as he could with him, but Scott was a free spirited man. He hung out around his college friends constantly during his free time, who were not the best influences on Akira. Due to this, Akira never really learned right from wrong, if anything, the wrong was encouraged because of his father's friends thinking it was funny. So from an early age, pointing out that something Akira did was wrong rubbed him the wrong way.

On his first visit, at five, he became closer with his half sibling, Kaiya, who loved Akira whole heartedly. While Ichiro, his older brother, was distant and not fond of him. Akira's mother never got around to “catching up” with him. It was really only Kaiya giving him attention. Kaiya and Ichiro also had obvious favoritism from his mother. After going home, Akira came to the realization that he'd liked American living better, that from now on he wanted to live with his father and step-mother Kennedy.

Unlike Akira's biological mother, Kennedy was a good mother to Akira and treated him as her own. After seeing Akira's hyper nature and interest in physical activity, Kennedy pushed Akira to sports, which was beneficial and he enjoyed it. He found particular interest in American football.

On his second visit to his mother, Akira learned that he would be an uncle to Kaiya's new baby, and that Ichiro now had a wife and two children. It was at this point, he knew Ichiro and Kaiya also had obvious favoritism from their mother, so he'd made it a point to outshine them in some way to make his mother notice him more. Kaiya and Ichiro were geniuses in school, Kaiya already finishing college at age seventeen. Though he couldn't outshine them in wits, he absolutely could outshine them in physical activity.

Once going back home, Akira really found himself through playing sports, particularly enjoying football. Kennedy had suffered miscarriages, causing PTSD to develop. This made Kennedy lash out at Akira, and Akira found this deeply saddening, as she was the only mother figure he’d had. This contributed more to his conception of right and wrong, as when Kennedy would yell at him, as opposed to leaving the argument, he’d make it a point to get the last words of the argument in.

On the plus side, due to Akira's focus on basketball and football, multiple teams took interest in him, including the Dallas Cowboys and Baltimore Ravens. But this state of bliss didn’t last long, as he was failing almost every class.

After a decline in grades due to his focus on sports, his school forced him to quit football in order to up his grades. This enraged Akira, and caused him to lash out at the principal, cursing him out, which got him expelled. In the present day, Akira has to live with his mother in Japan after being expelled from his Utah school. He is now schooled in Japan.

## Relationships

*Airi Hatchimitsu(girlfriend):*

Airi Hatchimitsu is Akira's girlfriend. The two are complete opposites, and have different views on a lot of things, while Airi is kind and sweet to people, always looking for the best, Akira is judgemental and always looking at the worst in people. Airi unintentionally embarrasses Akira at times, doing things like giving him colored bandages for scrapes or bringing him cutesy-lunches at practices. Akira doesn't really show it, but he misses her at almost any time they are apart, and it embarrasses him if he does show it.

    *Akihiko Handa(friend):*

Akihiko is both Akira's biggest rival and one of his best friends. Akira just loves to hate him- but not hate him in the conventional way. Akihiko and Akari have too much in common for the two to really hate each other, they actually get along fairy well. The occasional petty arguments and disagreements on little things are common though. Akihiko tries to correct Akira which really bugs him, but he still does it anyhow.

*Bibi Yokubō(biological mother):*

Bibi is Akira's biological mother. He does not get along with her in the slightest and tries to avoid her at all costs. They got along when Akira was little, but Akira was too little to remember it.

     *Noyumi Sayoko(friend):*

Noyumi is one of Akira's best friends. He has known her since transferring to Yumirai, and enjoys her presence. She is like him in most ways, an interest in sports, a foreign background, and a great understanding of the English language. Which is refreshing and reassuring to him. Noyumi and Akira also train with Yukikou Okuriinu on some weekends for a pass time.

    *Scott Alley(biological father):*

Scott is Akira's biological father. He and Akira get along extremely well, and Akira gets his wild-card temperament from him.
