Akako Kan

**Akako Kan** (管 (かん) 紅子 (べにこ) , *Kan Beniko*?)

### **Description**

Akako Kan, a student in Class 3-A at U.A. High School, hails from Aomori Prefecture. Born into a family of heroes, with her father Sekijiro Kan, known as Blood Hero: Vlad King, and her mother Sumika Kan, who serves in the Police Force, Akako has been immersed in a world of duty and justice. Alongside her older sister, Akane Kan, a pro hero known as Ichor, Akako is carving her own path of self-discovery and individuality.

Throughout her journey, Akako has embraced various countercultural expressions. She went through an Emo phase in the past, delving into the depths of her personality. Evolving further, she transitioned into a punk style, reveling in its freedom and rebellious nature. As she continues to explore her identity, Akako enjoys experimenting with different styles and fashion choices, incorporating her own unique flair.

A prominent feature of Akako's self-expression is her love for hot pink and black. These vibrant and contrasting colors perfectly embody her bold and daring personality. Whether in her hero costume or daily attire, Akako incorporates hot pink and black, showcasing her distinct style.

As Crimson Puppet, Akako utilizes her Blood Bending quirk to manipulate opponents, always guided by her strong moral compass. Refusing to use her quirk against her allies, she exemplifies her compassionate nature and aversion to causing harm. This ethical approach to her abilities presents challenges, such as during the U.A. sports festival, where she must navigate combat against her fellow classmates.

Throughout her time at U.A., Akako finds solace in her close relationship with her father, Sekijiro Kan, also known as Blood Hero: Vlad King. He supports her in pursuing her dreams and encourages her to forge her own path as a hero. Akako treasures their time together, and their bond serves as a guiding light amidst the complexities of the hero world.

Additionally, Akako shares a special bond with her sister Akane, being "Irish twins" born close together. While their journey at U.A. has temporarily created some distance between them due to the demands of being hero students, their connection was revitalized when they both moved into the U.A. dorms and later Akane was able to stay living in the dorms after she graduated since that's where her family was. Living nearby allowed them to rekindle their closeness and strengthen their relationship.

Completing the Kan family are Akako's younger brothers, twins Uni and Niu. Like the rest of her family, she adores and spoils them, cherishing their time together. Now that they all reside in the U.A. dorms, Akako relishes bonding with her younger siblings and creating lasting memories in their shared living environment.

Akako has interned with her father, Vlad King, yearly for a week-long internship after the sports festival. For her work studies, she worked with Aquablast for her first and second-year work studies. In her final year, she now works with her sister, Ichor, who has graduated. This opportunity allows her to learn from her family's experiences, train with people with quirks like her own, and gain valuable insights into the world of pro heroes.

Akako has also focused on her physical development, dedicating herself to gaining muscle. Between her 1st and 3rd year, she experienced an impressive growth spurt, increasing her height from 155cm to 182cm. Determined to become bulky, she sought guidance from her father, who is helping her with strength training. Additionally, Akako has been intensively training her quirk to overcome her limitations and conquer her fear of using her abilities on people.

Akako Kan is an individual who fearlessly embraces her individuality and utilizes her unique abilities as Crimson Puppet to make a difference. As she continues to grow and discover herself, her counterculture mindset, love for hot pink and black, and expressive nature will undoubtedly shape her journey as a hero, while her close-knit family and strong bonds provide unwavering support along the way.
