Akagi (Azur Lane)

**Akagi** is a character from the *Azur Lane* anime and game.

Akagi is an Aircraft Carrier from Sakura Empire and is part of the Akagi-class.

In the XP4 fics, Akagi debuted in the XP4 Heroes Coalition - Azur Lane.

## **Appearance**

Akagi is a tall woman with a slender frame and a large bust, she has waist-length dark-brown hair with a red metal-clip on one lock and has a pair of fox ears on top of her head, she has red eyes with orange eye-shadows and has six tail fox tails. She wears a black over-sized miko upper attire with red strings on each sleeves over a blue & white open cleavage turtleneck with yellow outlines, a black sash with a yellow flower symbol wrapped around her abdomen, a red miko skirt, black thigh-high socks with metal pads, red metallic sandal and black gloves with the thumb sticking out.

## **Personality**

Though it's overshadowed by her more obsessive and impulsive tendencies, Akagi is intelligent and observant, and she can compose some fairly devious stratagems when she puts her mind to it. Unfortunately for her, her impulsive, obsessive, and prideful nature frequently comes back to bite her, preventing her from becoming the full-blown chessmaster that her sister Amagi is.

Interestingly enough, she is shown to have a rather caring attitude towards the destroyers of the Sakura Empire, both implied in her own questline, and she is explicitly shown to comfort Uzuki after accidentally she bumps into Kaga in the anime, giving the entire Mutsuki class a bag of candy to share after accepting their apology.

## **Trivia**

* In Crosswave, instead of the cackling villain, we have a rather strait-laced acting leader of the Sakura Empire and a good if strict mentor to Nagato. It stems from her hearing Amagi's dying wish for peace and the far lower amounts of Siren manipulation in the time. She also appears to be rather civil with Enterprise.
* Because of the lack of commander in the anime adaptation to speak of, her yandere tendencies are instead directed towards Kaga, strongly suggesting that she is a lesbian in the adaptation.
* A number of things highlight her absolute hatred of coffee. In the original Polaris Juustagram posts, Akagi's seen objecting to anyone liking that "coal water". In Crosswave, an incident is referred to with her spitting out coffee, and in Slow Ahead, she's sees trying to drink a coffee milk, hoping it'll be better.
