Appearance
Akira has an androgynous appearance, often leading others to mistake him for a girl. He has long light blue hair and striking blue eyes, contributing to his delicate and graceful look.
His typical outfit consists of a blue shirt with white cuffs and a white collar, paired with a bolo tie featuring a blue rose emblem. He wears white pants fastened with three black buttons and supported by suspenders that end just below the knees. For footwear, he opts for white Mary Jane-style shoes along with black socks, further enhancing his refined and elegant fashion sense.


Personality
Akira is cheerful, sociable, and full of energy, often acting as one of the more outgoing members of the Kemono Office. He has a strong fondness for cute things and is frequently seen taking selfies to capture his emotions and preserve memorable moments. However, he is also notably clumsy, occasionally struggling with basic tasks due to his lack of practical skills.
He is emotionally sensitive and tends to be easily frightened or distressed by insects, dirt, or dangerous situations. Despite these vulnerabilities, Akira shows considerable emotional strength when it matters most. He is fiercely loyal to his friends and, when they are in danger, is willing to confront his fears to protect them. His growth over the course of the series highlights both his courage and the depth of his bonds with others.
Background
Akira originally lived in the remote Yuki-Onna village, deep within the mountains of Aomori Prefecture, alongside his older brother. The two attempted to escape the village together, but during their flight, Akira’s brother stayed behind to protect him, resulting in their separation. Determined to reunite with his sibling, Akira traveled to Tokyo and sought out Inugami, eventually joining the Kemono Office in hopes of finding clues about his brother’s whereabouts.
Powers & Abilities
As a Yuki-onoko, Akira possesses the cryogenic abilities typical of his species. While he initially struggles to control these powers due to the high level of concentration required, his skill gradually improves with experience and training.
Cryokinesis
Akira has the ability to create and manipulate ice, though this power is initially limited to areas where water is present.
Rikka Manifestation (六花擁現, Rikka Gongen)
A rare ability inherited from his ancestors, Rikka Manifestation enhances Akira’s physical abilities and cryokinetic control. When activated, it allows him to use ice-based powers even in the absence of external water sources. This transformation also grants access to unique techniques:

Etymology
Akira’s given name 晶 (akira) is composed of the kanji meaning “crystal,” which reflects his ice-based abilities and connection to the Snow Kemono lineage.
