**Akane Kinoshita** (木之下 茜, *Kinoshita Akane*) is one of the two protagonists of the *My Love Story with Yamada-kun at Lv999* anime adaptation of the manga series, Loving Yamada at Lv999!.

## Profile

A University student who is now living on her own in order to be closer to her University. She is originally from Gunma Prefecture.

After being invited by her boyfriend Takuma, she starts playing Forest of Savior (FOS), but is then soon broken up with after he cheated on her with a girl he met in the game.

Unable to let go of her feelings for Takuma, she goes to relieve her distress in the game. Then, YAMADA from the same guild happens to find her.

Soon after, she happens to meet Yamada again at an official FOS offline event but...

Her only fault is that she enjoys drinking but is weak to alcohol.

## Appearance

Akane is a young woman with a pale complexion and average height. Her blonde hair is lengthy and reaches at least to her tailbone. Her eyes are mostly green, per the official anime trailer for the series. When she leaves the house, she usually wears a hoodie or sweater and a long dress that covers her ankles.

When it comes to hairstyles, Akane has a fashionable look. She'd let her hair fall down most days, especially when she was lazing around the home, parting it on the right and allowing her eye-level bangs to fall as well. She occasionally lets her jaw-length side bangs fall when she ties her hair up. During her first meeting with Yamada at the Forest of Savior gaming event, she had braided the left side of her hair, leaving the other side free and knotted behind, showing a gorgeous neck. She usually wears her hair up in a ponytail on her part-time days.

She wore a denim jacket, a light pink blouse inside, and a dark brown mini-skirt alongside high-heeled sandals to her first meeting with the Chocolate Rabbit Guild members. She lets her hair loose and parts it on the left, as is her regular hairstyle.

## Trivia

* This was one of the ways that Akane was able to connect Yamada in real life and the one in the game. Yamada frequently drops the *“で(de)”* of his *“です(desu)”* when he's talking, resulting in things like *“そうすね(sou su ne)”* instead of the normal *“そうですね(sou desu ne).”*

* Following his mention of the 0.01% drop rate, Akane referred to Yamada as *“廃人(haijin).”* It was originally used to refer to someone who led a non-standard lifestyle, or an "obsolete person."
