He often feels inferior to his group members, and to compensate, he overworks himself. If no one is there to stop him, he will often practice his singing until he either loses his voice or collapses from exhaustion, neglecting his needs in the process. BACKGROUND: Akito was inspired to get into music by An's dad. He sings with his partner Toya at the BAD DOGS clubhouse. He seems like a gentle-mannered boy, but there's also another side to his personality. When Akito was in elementary school, he played for a soccer team named Shibuya Diamonds. While he was one of the best on the team, he decided to quit after him and his team lost an important tournament. Some time after he quit playing soccer, his sister Ena brought him to a summer festival where she encouraged him to try singing. This kickstarted his interest in street music, which eventually grew into the dream of surpassing the legendary music event RAD WEEKEND. He looks up to Shiraishi Ken, An's father who performed in RAD WEEKEND, and practices hard to achieve his dream. He sang together with Toya under the name BAD DOGS before forming Vivid BAD SQUAD with An and Kohane. Even after joining Vivid BAD SQUAD, he still operates under the BAD DOGS unit with Toya. His father is an artist, and is shown to be emotionally neglectful to both him and his older sister. Their mother is rarely mentioned in-game. As a second year, Akito is classmates with An and Nene in class 2-A. APPEARANCE: Akito has olive-green eyes and messy orange hair with a dyed yellow streak on the left side of his center bangs. His voice is tough and powerful.
