[ -- GENERAL APPEARANCE -- ]
> Akira seems like a pretty average person. He's almost always got a neutral expression on his face, and his body always appears relaxed, unless he's in pain, or he's wounded. When that happens, he tenses up like the rest of us. He's also got an A-shaped scar on his right arm, and long, lightning-shaped burn scars on his left arm and the far left side of his face. Unlucky.
> We've never seen Akira sick or fatigued. It's quite handy, as he's always working and fighting hard.
> Akira speaks in a calm voice, topped with a light Japanese accent. Overall, he sounds similar to that Japanese utaite, Eve.
> Akira's always carrying his black and red bag, his acoustic guitar, a drum stick, that tape recorder he got in Shanghai, a Polaroid camera, a Zippo lighter, and a damaged flashlight that shouldn't still be working. When he's in combat, he loves to use that bamboo staff of his.

> Akira loves to keep his head down where possible, and just go with the flow. He's very nice, and relatively understanding. He also puts others before himself, and sometimes mimics the behaviour of his friends. However, he can become aggressive and overly protective in certain situations. It's one of the reasons why we value him. He also overreacts sometimes, like every single time we bring up his past, or every time we call him-

> We know Akira likes cats and cooking more than anything else in the world. He also seems to like dodgeball, volleyball, photography, playing music, and fishing. He may also like climbing and exploring, but we don't know for sure.

> Akira's perception is an S. He may only have one eye, but he's very aware, and he reacts fast. However, he's paranoid sometimes, and he isn't always well-rested.

> Akira has many problems. Some notable ones we've observed are his inability to socialise effectively, his complete disregard for other people's emotions, his risky behaviour, and his Red Cow addiction.
> Akira seems fearless, but he isn't. Two of his most notable fears are scotomaphobia and thalassophobia. Scotomaphobia is pretty obvious, since he's lost an eye before, but thalassophobia is a long story. We think it's because of that time he-

> Additionally, there's also Akira's cousin, Miiko Tsukasa. They're also pretty close, and she was the one who helped him adjust to life in Karakura. As far as we know, they also live together.
> We know Akira lives and has lived with a few people, all of which are alive to this day.

> cat member24'oni'-biography.txt
[ -- BIOGRAPHY -- ]
> Akira was born in Australia, and raised in the harsh conditions of our home, Alice Springs, in the Northern Territory. His family seemed to be barely scraping by, and we know they lived in a small, slightly run-down apartment. We know he was frequently placed into bad circumstances, and we think it's what led him down his dangerous path. We also think his parents spoke both English and Japanese at home, which is how he's fluent in both languages.
> We know that at age 5, he started school, and he seemed to find it hard to fit in. He didn't seem to have any friends, and we know he was always bullied for his heterochromia and quiet nature. We know he hated it, and he'd chose to retaliate in violent ways. This seemed to have given him a bad reputation amongst his peers, who started referring to him as 'Oni'. This is also how we gave him his codename. It fit him.
> We think that by age 8, Akira's resentful feelings towards his classmates had grown further, and we know just how steep the cost of living was becoming. We know he stole from his classmates. Eventually, we think he realised it wasn't enough of a payout, so he went bigger, and began to shoplift from local stores. He was caught a few times, and word of what he'd been doing spread around, and also to us.
> At age 14, Akira's financial situation was bad, and he needed work. However, no one agreed to hire him, except for us. The Wolves. We gave him an offer to join us, and he accepted. We gave him the duties of fighting and stealing from other gangs in the area, and splitting profits with our other members who did the same. He rose through our ranks fast, and he really stood out in terms of intelligence and skill.
> Once Akira was 16, he was changed forever. He was walking to school with his younger brother, Akito. It seemed like a completely normal day, until he turned away for a second, only to look back and see his brother being attacked by someone from another gang.
> The guy may have had a knife, but Akira still decided to defend Akito until we got within fighting range. Sadly, the guy got Akira's eye. We didn't let it slide, though. After Akira and the rest of us were done with that guy, let's just say he'll never be in our way again.
> Akira tried his best to move on from the incident, but he seemed unable to as long as he was still in Australia. We think he decided to use his savings to fly to Karakura, Japan. However, only Akira and Akito left the country. We think they didn't have enough money to pay for the parent's tickets.
> We think the last memory Akira has of his parents is them handing him things before he boarded his flight.
> Akira left his old life with us behind, bringing only Akito along with him to Karakura. We know he had a lot of help starting out in Karakura. He has a cousin named Miiko, who happened to be staying in the area at the time. We think she introduced Akira to many people, which is how he built some much needed social skills and confidence. He also seemed to have made some friends by himself, which is quite surprising. After a while, we saw how he started to rent out an apartment, which he now shares with Akito, Miiko, Keiko, who is a friend he made later on during his time in Karakura, Masaru, who is another friend of Akira's, and Chloe, who is a friend of Akito.
> Akira also seemed to have taken interest in many hobbies, such as playing the guitar and drums, photography, and cooking. We think that one of these interests acted as a motive for him to plan and prepare a trip to South Korea. Over 3 months, we know he spent all his afternoons and weekends trying to learn Korean through books and websites online, and he would spend some parts of his nights earning enough money to pay for the trip.
> After all of Akira's hard studying, he seemed to have become proficient in Korean, and we know he'd amassed enough money to afford the trip.
> We saw how Akira's flight was delayed twice, but it didn't seem to stop him, as he had landed in Seoul, South Korea. We think he had arrangements to stay in a luxury hotel with a fancy kitchen. We know that he'd attend cooking classes by day, and he'd enjoy Korean cuisine by night, while practicing his language skills with the locals. However, towards the end of his trip, we saw how he got involved in some shady business with other groups. Said business was blackjack and thievery. We think he heard about the illegal gambling den near where he was staying, and it may have piqued his interest. We think he may have gambled on the last few nights of his trip, but we know he got roped back into the sort of business he did back home in Australia with us, but with some other Korean group this time. After all, he's quite a valuable person.
> By the end of his trip, Akira seemed to be fluent in Korean, and he'd significantly improved his cooking skills. He had also gone on to learn tricks which were on the shadier side of life, and he'd gained some very useful contacts along the way.
> Akira's life seemed to be changing for the better after he returned. He returned home to find that Masaru had two cats, who were now staying in his apartment. He'd also been making more and more friends as time went on. Additionally, we saw he'd taken an interest in Shintoism.
> One day, Akira got a call from someone. We think it was a contact of his, but we don't know what he spoke about with them. However, it caused him to book a flight to Shanghai, China. Something about that place seemed to interest him, but we don't know what. As well as booking that flight, he spent 5 months trying to teach himself Shanghainese. We believe that he didn't see it as useful for only the trip, but also for communicating with his friend, Masaru. We know he learnt it through the same methods he used to learn Korean, and by practicing his language skills with Masaru. Said methods consisted of seemingly intense studying with various books and videos online for a few hours every afternoon, and for the majority of his weekends.
> After his time-consuming studying, he seemed to be fluent in speaking Shanghainese, and he was ready for his second trip.
> Akira boarded his flight, and he was gone a few weeks. We don't know what he did in Shanghai, but we think it has something to do with his South Korean contacts. And we may be right, as he returned with 250,000 yen, a tape recorder, an A-shaped scar on his right arm, and a new language under his belt.
> Once Akira returned, he met Keiko, and they seem very close with each other as of now. He'd also made many other friends after he returned, most of which he still talks with to this day.
> Soon, Akira discovered that he knew Keiko as 'Kitsune' from his time in Shanghai, but word of what he did in that country got out. Not only that, we think he discovered why many of the people he knew were being so friendly towards him. It was because they liked him. And most of said people thought it'd be acceptable to kiss him. And if that wasn't bad enough, his friendship with Masaru crumbled. He changed his name, appearance, and how he spoke. We don't know why. We also saw how he took another short trip to South Korea, presumably to get away from everything.
> We don't know Akira's goals. Hell, we don't know if he even has any. We still wish him the best, though.

> After his time-consuming studying, he seemed to be fluent in speaking Shanghainese, and he was ready for his second trip.
> Akira boarded his flight, and he was gone a few weeks. We don't know what he did in Shanghai, but we think it has something to do with his South Korean contacts. And we may be right, as he returned with 250,000 yen, a tape recorder, an A-shaped scar on his right arm, and a new language under his belt.
> Once Akira returned, he met Keiko, and they seem very close with each other as of now. He'd also made many other friends after he returned, most of which he still talks with to this day.
> Soon, Akira discovered that he knew Keiko as 'Kitsune' from his time in Shanghai, but word of what he did in that country got out. Not only that, we think he discovered why many of the people he knew were being so friendly towards him. It was because they liked him. And most of said people thought it'd be acceptable to kiss him. And if that wasn't bad enough, his friendship with Masaru crumbled. He changed his name, appearance, and how he spoke. We don't know why. We also saw how he took another short trip to South Korea, presumably to get away from everything.
> We don't know Akira's goals. Hell, we don't know if he even has any. We still wish him the best, though.
