Akira Ogata

About

Age: 20

Akira Ogata is a female cosplay prop designer and friend of the photographer, Suzuka.

Akira is a young woman of average height. She has upper back length, jet black hair with bangs parted off to the right, moderately thick yet straight eyebrows that give her an impassive expression, and sharp grey colored eyes.

For outfits, Akira prefers to wear casual clothing. At the point of meeting Wakana for the first time, she is seen wearing a long-sleeved V-neck with jeans and a bomber jacket with a dragon design.

Akira is introduced as a reserved, mature, and aloof individual. In a manner of speaking, the way she talks with others is described as concise. The reason to said behavior is stemmed from the inability to be herself, due to her parents' showing absolute disapproval to her interests in manga and/or anime followed by being bullied from her own peers.

As a result of this, she would typically keep to herself, giving those the impression that she's a distant person. However, after meeting Suzuka and Miyako during an unlikely encounter, she's able to become more of herself, allowing her to enjoy the two things that make her most happy.


When she was young, she was a huge fan of manga, but her mother always saw it as despicable, and when she joined high school, her mother decided to throw all her manga away. Akira tried to talk with her, but she never heard, and continued to throw all her manga away, even when Akira tried to hide it. One day she decided to lie to her mother, saying that she doesn't like it anymore, and stopped talking about her likes. Her mother smiled and said that was a relief. She tried to talk about her likes with the classmates at school, but they always ignored and bullied her.

She decided to lie about her love of manga and passed all through high school doing it. After that, she joined a college far away; while she was trying to buy a Black Lobelia toy on a machine, Suzuka and Miyako saw her doing it. She thought they were going to bully on her, but surprisingly, they started to ask her if she also likes cosplay and manga and shared their cosplay plans. So, Akira started going with them, and later they became closer friends.
