Appearance[]
Akane is an 163 cm tall young girl with blue-green eyes and midnight blue hair. She is considered to be very beautiful by several other characters, such as Ruby Hoshino and her rival Kana Arima.
At the beginning, her hair was short but later she appears with long hair.
Personality[]
In the beginning of the LoveforReal, Akane was presented as a shy and reserved girl, which caused her to have a lot of trouble and many questioned whether she was a real actress.
MEM-cho and Yuki, other co-stars of the show and Akane's friends, suggested she create a character of her own to play on the show to protect herself from criticism. When Akane wondered what kind of character to play, the girls pressed Aqua to reveal his ideal girl. Aqua, without much thought, ended up describing Ai. Her friends encouraged Akane to accept the challenge of playing Aqua's ideal girl and she, as a gesture of gratitude for helping her solve her scandal, accepted.
Thanks to her studies in profiling, psychology and a natural talent for understanding characters, Akane managed to play the legendary idol Ai Hoshino to perfection.
She is very hard-working and determined with every job she gets. When looking to take on a role, she makes sure to study and understand the character doing a complete background, to the point she plays it perfectly. She has been described by many as a genius actress despite being very young.
During the Tokyo Blade Arc, more sides of the complex and fascinating character that is Akane were revealed. Thanks to her intelligence and incredible investigative skills, she was able to deduce that Aqua and Ruby were Ai's children, a secret that no one had been able to discover for over 15 years.
Akane is also a highly empathetic person who cares deeply about others. When she discovered Aqua's secret, Akane respected his privacy and did not mention to him that she had already deduced the truth. Instead, she hugged and comforted him while the boy was going through a difficult time, which caused a true bond to form between them, and they stopped being just a business couple. Akane's sweet and kind side should not be mistaken for naivety. When Aqua confessed to her that he became an actor to get close and kill someone in the entertainment industry, Akane didn't judge him. Instead, she offered Aqua to be her ally and help him kill that person.
At the time, Akane thought that taking revenge on his mother's murderer was what Aqua needed to overcome the pain of his past, as Aqua himself also believed the same. However, after the final scene of the Tokyo Blade play, where Aqua, with Akane's help, realizes that what his heart really desires is to see his mother again (a wish that will never be fulfilled), the boy begins to question his motivation for revenge. Finally, after finding out that his father was dead, Aqua ends up abandoning his plans completely, and he confesses to Akane that what he wants now is to lead a normal life. She vows to do everything she can to protect Aqua's new found peace.
When Akane and Aqua officially started dating, Akane became much more open. She asked Aqua to pamper her after a busy day and thanked him for all the little actions he did to show his feelings. Aqua would fetch her with an umbrella on rainy days, respond to her text messages as soon as possible, and praise her for her hard work. All these small actions made Akane feel grateful and satisfied.
When Aqua found out that his father was still alive, he ended his relationship with Akane, fearing that she would get into dangerous situations because of him.
