Akane's been a runner since childhood—it's basically always been her thing. She joined the track and field team in middle school and quickly became known for her sprinting ability. Her family moved around a lot due to her father's work, which is how she ended up transferring to Kawagoe in fifth grade. She lives in an apartment with her family: a funny dad, an upbeat mom, and an older sister who's two years ahead of her.
Under that breezy, optimistic exterior is someone genuinely hardworking. She takes school seriously and gets excellent grades. That said, she can come across as a bit of a show-off sometimes—though fans often note she's actually trying pretty hard to read the room and fit in. She deals with anxiety, and carries "imo," a mascot character, as a good luck charm to help her relax.
