Background: Born and raised in Tokyo (which she hates), educated in a private school operated by the Yakuza.
Transfered to Hogwarts to take Muggle Studies (which were not offered in her previous school) and to interact with occidental students, and those who are not of pure blood. Her parents are busily looking for a 'proper' match for her so the family does not lose any status, and her grades will affect her prospects.
Last year a match was found for Akira by her parents but to her dismay not only was the man old and ugly hes also a muggle. She has kept this information hidden from almost every one except for the closest of friends.
Personality: More a watcher than a particpant. Tends to be a loner. This all changed at the beginning of her 6th year when she was made a prefect and has found helfself forced to be a more authoritative presence. She doesnt consider herself a good leader but she does try to unite her fellow Slytherins have them excel. She is slowly learning how to be there for her fellow housemates and feels honored to serve the Slytherin house in his manner.
Normally quiet she does screw up the courage from time to time to talk to others but can most oftern be found in the library or in the Slytherin common room studying away.
Likes: Riding horses, practicing martial arts
Dislikes: Muggles, crowds, slackers and lazy people, liars and dishonorable types
Academic Outlook: Applies herself to any task with exceptional focus. Forced to study courses selected by her parents.
Quirks: Good with potions/Herbology and DADA
Counter Quirks: Poor with Muggle studies and Astrology (has an unhealthy overly developed sense of work ethics. She is a work a holic. And forces herself quite often to give up sleep so she can study harder and longer for her classes.)
Appearance: Short - 5' 2". Hip length long black hair. Almost always worn braided except when she sleeps. Eyes are jade green, a rare colour for orientals. Traditional 'china doll' features. Could be considered cute, if it wasn't for her cold, distant nature and her lack of smiling. She usually looks tired and mildly stressed due to her parents expectations of exceptional grades and burning the midnight oil too often.
