Utsunomiya Akira

## Appearance

Akira is a tall, pale skinned woman with light, chocolate brown eyes and black hair cut in a bob with bangs swept over her right eye. Like her mother, she has very powerful muscles and highly defined musculature with little in the way of body fat that she deceptively hides underneath her clothes. This is most noticeable from her sizeable shoulders and biceps, well-toned abs, thick thighs and legs laden with muscle. In spite of this, she is considered to be rather pretty and attractive with a sizeable bosom, moderately wide hips and rear. Her most noticeable traits are the large tattoo on her left arm from the shoulder to upper forearm and silver piercings with three on her left ear, two on her left eyebrow and one on her tongue though she usually takes it off before a fight.

Her outfit mainly consists of a brown hoodie that hangs loose on her torso and dark blue pants with black undergarments worn underneath. During workouts and training sessions, she wears black spandex shorts and sports bra while her fighting uniform is similar with black, grappling gloves.

## Personality

Akira has an aggressive and somewhat vulgar attitude.

## Powers & Abilities

A deceptively powerful fighter, Akira is one of a dozen people who have “Superman Syndrome” which grants her great physical abilities, allowing her to deal extremely powerful blows. As a child, it allowed her to fight opponents much larger than herself. Her muscles are so dense, it also serves as a means of protection for normally vulnerable spots like the back of her neck. She is one of the strongest fighters in the Purgatory matches, having defeated countless opponents with big names. She has been noted to possess extraordinary kinetic vision, allowing her to clearly see the "flow of power" in her opponents.

Akira is a well-versed practitioner of Pankration techniques and her overall fighting style can be considered to be aggressive.

### Niko Style

A style created by Gaoh Mukaku, the Niko Style was taught to her by an unknown Tokita Niko. Despite being skilled in its use, she often makes use of only the Adamantine and Water katas as a way to supplement her usual fighting style to deadly effect.

#### Possessing Spirit

The **Possessing Spirit** is a special technique and the 'other' half of the Niko Style. By overclocking her heart, Akira's speed, acceleration, torque increase to the point that it also increases her damage output. At its maximum output, her speed and power drastically increases but, because of how it works, also prevents Akira from using certain techniques of the Niko Style; the Adamantine Kata especially. If she attempted to do so, she could risk rupturing blood vessels at level of output.

### Pre-Initiative

During the two year period of recuperation, Akira would eventually come to master **Pre-Initiative** (先 (せん) の先 (せん) , *Sen no Sen*). She would demonstrate this ability in her comeback match against Ryuko Mizobuti, though the latter soon broke through it.

Akira's knowledge of the technique leaves her privy to its weaknesses as well, able to hide her intent by attacking from the user's blind spots. Even Koga's Fist Eye cannot account for this weakness.
