Origin and background of the character
Akao Akira is a legendary figure and a key character from the protagonists’ past in the hit shōnen manga Sakamoto Days, created, written and illustrated by Yuto Suzuki. A former elite student at the JCC (Japan Clear Creation) alongside Taro Sakamoto and Kei Nagumo, she formed with them an invincible trio of assassins feared throughout the world of contract killers. Distinguished by her carefree nature, her love of cigarettes, her light hair and her iconic sunglasses perched on her forehead, Akira conceals behind her nonchalance an extraordinary tactical sense and a unique ability to perceive her targets’ ‘lines of death’. Wielding bladed weapons with surgical precision, her tragic fate serves as a major catalyst for the events unfolding in the plot. Banpresto’s “Vibration Stars” collection draws on all its expertise to faithfully recreate the fierce attitude, distinctive hairstyle and intense gaze of this key figure in the saga.
