Akira Suzuki

**Overview**
Gallery

*Akira Suzuki has suffered discrimination since childhood because he is of mixed-race and from the lower class. Hence, he has grown up to be distrustful of others. After becoming a peerless con artist, he often disguises himself to cheat the rich and famous of their wealth. Despite being self-centered, Akira still distributes the money he has swindled to the poor as he has a soft spot for the weak and needy.*

**Akira Suzuki** is a Taishō Adventures Companion.

## Profile

#### Appearance

Akira is a fairly tall male with dark brown hair and dark blue eyes. His outfit leans slightly more on the formal side in Japanese standards, consisting of a black hakama adorned with gold wave patterns at the hem, a light grey *hakamashita* kimono, black socks and gloves, and traditional wooden clogs. On top of his outfit is a long cyan haori decorated with flower patterns and trimmed with black, held together at the front with a purple string. He also holds a traditional Japanese folding fan, most likely decorated with crane patterns as described in his Relic.

The "noble" Tanuki-san

You may be doing well right now, but you're still far from being able to deceive everyone. There's much to improve on. Don't worry, for the sake of our goal, I'll mentor you closely. After all, with great power comes great responsibility.

Don't be so fast to complain. Think about it, not only will the orphanage's problems be solved after this, you'll also gain status and wealth. Being rich will bring you new experiences you've never had or thought of before.

Well? sounds tempting, doesn't it?

The process may be arduous, but I believe you can do it. After all, you're the Tanuki-san I picked. You must have more confidence in yourself.

Your perceptive tutor

Your growth has exceeded my expectations. Will you consider joining the theater after the plan is completed? Your acting will definitely shine there.

Hahaha, I can almost imagine your astonished face upon reading this. Forget what I said then. Honestly, you were still a bit like a street wanderer a while ago. After a few days of training, you move just like true nobility, completely befitting a Yamato Nadeshiko.
"When the fake is of far greater balue than the real, then it can become the real."

Thank you for your trust in me. It's why we are able to proceed thus far. While our goal hasn't been achieved, it is only a matter of time. Let us look forward to a wonderful future.

How do I say this?
Since childhood, I've understood that the world is woven from truths and falsehoods, and I've lived a life on the edge by swindling others. I'm a con artist, and it's the first time I've felt at a loss because you're so honest and true.
I should be used to lying but I actually harbor thoughts of being honest when I'm with you. This is bad, very bad.
I've seen countless famous paintings and precious gems... but nothing compares to your warm and sincere heart. I wish to protect the purity of your heart, and not let it come to any harm.
I know how unconvincing it is for a con artist to say "please trust me", but I'm not lying when I ask you to trust me. I may lie to the whole world, but never to you.
