He is a regular guy who fearlessly fights the evil Banchou army with his towering body, muscles of steel and fists which can shatter even boulders.

In order to do this, he became the Banchou representing the Chiyoda District and battles with the other Banchou of the city. He is also a member and leader of the Banchou Alliance.
Personality[]
Akira is a large man with an even larger heart. He is always calm and composed but only loses his cool when his friends are hurt or when someone annoys him. When he speaks most people can't help but feel overwhelmed and see the error of their ways. He helps the little guys and doesn't care about being rich or powerful.
Besides his desire to destroy the 23 District Project he's happy just enjoying simple little things. He follows what he calls simple logic: if someone hurts your friend, you hurt them back. Besides his fighting knowledge and schoolwork, Akira isn't very knowledgeable of technology and doesn't even have a cell phone. His strength and massive build makes delicate work hard for him. Besides taking down other Banchou, Akira also helps those in his district with their own problems. He does the impossible and his catchphrase is, "LIKE I CARE."

Power & Abilities[]
Being of the Kongou race, Akira possesses immense physical strength and durability as well as incredibly fast healing capabilities which allow him to perform amazing things from lifting a building-sized buddha statue and repelling an iron wrecking balls with only his chest muscles alone to recovering from shattered bones in mere seconds and surviving a fall from 200 meters without injury just to name a few of his miraculous feats.
As calculated by Machine Banchou, the power of his flying knee attack has an impact force of 4.2 tons whilst his "Double Hammer" is 12 tons and "Wild Trailer" is 13 tons. When Akira enters into his "Arakure Mode", his might increases threefold and the power of his normal punch is enhanced to 37 tons.
In his final battle with his brother, along with the awakening of his dormant evolutionary genes, Akira grew up to 300 meters tall and made him strong enough that simply brawling with Takeshi created massive shockwaves which shook and ruptured the ground, forming devastating earthquakes and tsunamis as well as causing volcanic eruptions capable of destroying the Earth.
Whilst in his giant state, Akira's "Double Hammer" had a destructive power output of 300 megatons, this immense power allowed him to stop the impending destruction of the world by striking the core of the planet itself.
Banchou Stats[]
- Strength: 10/10
- Stamina: 10/10
- Spirit: 10/10
- Intelligence: 6/10
- Agility: 5/10
- Technique: 5/10
Notes: After the 5 years time-skip, Akira's stats have likely increased, although they haven't been revealed.
Fighting Style[]
Unlike many other Banchou, Akira doesn't practice a unique martial art or wield any kind of specialized weapons; instead, he relies on his fists and inhuman strength to pound his opponents into submission. However, when getting serious, Akira can utilize his Kongou physiology and make his body even harder then steel (hence the name "Muscles of Steel"); strengthening his offense whilst reinforcing his defense at the same time.
Special Attacks[]
- Double Hammer (
打舞流 叛魔 , Daburu Hanmā; lit. "Striking Dance-Style Rebellious Demon"): Widely considered by many to be his signature attack, upon hardening both of his fists, Akira proceeds to ram them both into his enemy in a simultaneous punch. - Meteor Driver (
罵而悪怒雷刃 , Meteo Doraibā; lit. "Insulting Yet Evil Angry Thunder Blade"): A combo that starts with a knee to the face, Akira then grabs his opponent by their waist as he bends forward and proceeds to front flip over them; pulling him/her into the air before smashing their head into the ground whilst jamming his feet into their armpits to ensure maximum damage. - Face Crush (

In this state, not only is all of Akira's physical capabilities pushed to their absolute limits, thereby amplifying the power of all his other moves, but it also causes him to fight purely on instinct, meaning he follows no refined patterns and becomes incredibly difficult for his opponents to predict. - Diamond Circular (
