❝ ... It’s usually this busy. ❞

— TOKYO was a far cry from his countryside dwelling in Kakegawa, mainly with the density of people who went about their day in the sleepless city. Even he was still adjusting to the nuances that the Tokyo folks had compared to the neighbors he had. But the person he ran into reminded him a lot of how he was on his first day, the conversation was a friendly gesture on his behalf.

Akira had the third eye, but he couldn’t have what Yusuke had. It was the artistic vision, the choices and decisions that contributed to the artful whole. So he was left rather contemplative when he passed some mural and graffiti pieces along his walk. The student slipped his hands into his pocket, staving off the questions he had till he could properly form a question. ❝ I have a question, Yusuke. ❞ He moved out of the way of a passing pedestrian as he glanced at his compatriot. His small town didn’t have art museums, they had local historical sites though. But in terms of self-expression, it was rather limited. Locals participated in more smaller art forms, graffiti and tagging. But was that art? It was a bit of a walk to their destination, he might as well entertain the conversation. ❝ Do you consider tagging some sort of art? ❞

Akira is convicted of a crime a year before high school, being moved to Tokyo in the same year to attend a school that would accept him. With it not being Shujin. No one finds out about his record, but he's determined to bury it six feet under with a new identity. He builds his reputation in his first year of high school not as a Detective, but as a budding youth activist with Toranosuke Yoshida as his mentor. His charisma is what skyrockets him to being a common name around Tokyo's streets, where he's often seen outside of the station with Yoshida or alone. He advocates for reform, but doesn't believe that the Phantom Thieves are doing anything but being a temporary mend to a root illness. People are willing to listen and he makes good points to the public about how reform needs to come from themselves, not from the Phantom Thieves. Akira’s power comes from Yaldaoboth, who gives him this power and in his eyes, it’s a chance to get back at Shido in some way. Akira knows that no matter what happens, his record stays and he's bitter about it. He's especially bitter towards Shido, who got him convicted in the first place. With Yoshida’s help, he’s able to find some leverage to work as an intern for Shido. With his social prowess, Shido sees something in him that reminds him of himself and keeps him at his side.
