## Profile

Don’t be fooled by this man’s timidity, because his bashful stutters hide a powerful diviner. While shy at first, once he starts talking about Divine Arts, there’s no shutting him up. Onmyoji are outlawed in the land, but he still works in the shadows, his deeds a secret to the government...
Close friends with Tatsuomi, Akiyasu’s day job is apparently with the military...

## Appearance

Akiyasu is a white-skinned man with white hair that has black hair tips with bangs hanging on the left side, olive green eyes and oval-shaped glasses.

He is wearing a white and black clothing with a black shirt under it, black pants and black shoes.

## Personality

At first glance, Akiyasu is a well-mannered Onmyoji with a lack of experience talking with others, resulting in quite a bit of stuttering and blushing. However, Futaba quickly works her way into his good graces by asking him about the Divine Arts when she first meets him since he doesn't really have anyone else to talk about those things to, and they become an unofficial "teacher and student" pair. Futaba comes to him when she has questions about being an Onmyoji, and he's quick to do his best to help her. He simply told her his name was "Aki".

## Biography

Akiyasu was born knowing he was an Onmyoji Diviner, and his father was the one who initially trained him in the Divine Arts. After the Onmyo Bureau was dissolved by the government, his father continued to do exorcisms and purifications under the radar; he was eventually found out and slain.

He was the one that put hex totems all over the capital and essentially drew the Wraiths there too, because a great mass of evil energy was required to send his plans into motion: he wanted to unleash the powerful Wraith sealed below the capital so it could draw souls from the overworld to Lord Taizan in the underworld and begin the ritual.
