Personality

Akina has a friendly and lively personality. He is known to be very loud and excitable, easily getting caught up in the tension of any games he plays. Staying true to his character bio, he is a highly motivated singer; he often participates in covers with other livers, hosts karaoke streams, and organised the first Nijimen Utaite Relay.

Perhaps more regrettably, he is often said to have a "virgin boy spirit." Around those he isn't well acquainted with he can easily become flustered and apologetic - especially towards women. Despite having known her for 8 months, upon his first offline collaboration with Aizono Manami he struggled to look at her straight.

Appearance

He has light blue eyes with short dark hair and a red braid, as well as a blonde streak. He has a black jacket with red straps and a white shirt.
