| ~ Akito Sohma |
Akito Sohma is the main antagonist in the manga and anime series Fruits Basket. She is the love interest of Shigure Sohma. She is the head of Sohma family and cursed by the God of the zodiac. She is also the only daughter of Akira Sohma and Ren Sohma.
She is voiced by Maaya Sakamoto in the Japanese version of the anime, and by Colleen Clinkenbeard & Trina Nishimura as a child in the English version of the anime.
Appearance[]
She has short black hair due to her mother's command on bringing her up as a male. She shares the same eyes and hair color as her mother. To cover up her female body figure, Akito usually dresses in many layers or male clothing or oversized male clothing. In the Sohma House, she usually wears robes meant for men. By the end of the series, she grows her hair to shoulder-length and starts to wear female clothes. According to Shigure, if Akito had been brought up as a female, she would have been a spitting image of Ren.
Personality[]
She rarely shows any sympathy and is extremely misogynistic, showing little to no trust or respect for other women. This is evident through her behavior towards Kana, Tohru, Rin, and her mother, Ren. Akito is actually extremely insecure. Ren's biting words and treatment towards her really had a strong impact on her mind when she was a child, and it can be seen that even as an adult, Akito is still intimidated by her words.
Akito is very arrogant and dull. She grew loathsome around Tohru Honda until near the end of the manga. However, Akito is actually extremely insecure, mostly because she's afraid that everyone around her will leave her.
Akito is depicted as short-tempered and abusive, and has physically and emotionally scarred many Sohma, including Hatori, Rin, Momiji, Kisa, Yuki, and Kyo.
In her 30s, Akito has accepted she shouldn't be forgiven for her abusive behavior and stays out of most Sohma gatherings. She will often go to a villa by herself, allowing Shigure and their son Shiki to spend time with family.
Akito is a very loving mother to Shiki, protecting him from his insane grandmother and taking a knife cut for him. She also encouraged him to make bonds, so he isn't lonely like her.
