A boy from the slums hellbent on giving himself a better life.
Akira is selfish and cynical, trusting nobody who hasn't proven themselves to potentially be useful for him, and going as far as to do selfless acts because he honestly beleives they will increase his luck in the future.
He's awkward around older women on occasion.
Akira lacks any real skill, relying on Alpha to do most of the complicated work for him until way late in the story.
