Akane Owari

"If I beat a catboy up, would it be animal cruelty or what?"

— Akane, about catboy Komaeda

Akane Owari is a character in the Kyokoverse. Her title is of the Ultimate Gymnast.

She is a member of The Council, the best friend of Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu, and the main love interest for Sonia Nevermind.

Appearance
In the Kyokoverse, Akane's appearance follows a redesign. Her hairstyle, white shirt and shoes from the original design are kept, however she now wears a sports bra, red sweatpants, blue socks, and has a blue jacket tied around her waist. She also sports a red waistband, and has a band-aid on the bridge of her nose.

After the Swag Ass Roblox Rock incident, she started covering her right eye with her hair out of guilt.

Personality
Akane's Kyokoverse self still retains most of her canon character traits. She is simple-minded, aggressive, easily excitable, and a big eater. Her canon forgetfulness of others' names is expanded upon in the Kyokoverse, as seen when she calls Ibuki "Ibook" and Chihiro "Cheerio", for example.

Like in canon, she is very protective of the people dear to her, and of the ones younger than her, as seen when she goes out of her way to ask Yuta Asahina about his physical condition after he got possessed by the Void. She also seems to be more self-conscious of her denseness, often addressing herself as "dumb", and is notably more prone to tears than her canon self.

Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu
Akane and Fuyuhiko call each other their best friends, and have been sharing the spotlight ever since her debut under Kiwi in Chipwrecked. She is very protective of him, especially after the Swag Ass Roblox Rock Incident, when Akane ended up accidentally slashing Fuyuhiko's right eye, rendering it completely blind. This event is still a heavy source of guilt for Akane, so much so that she started wearing her hair in a way that covered her own right eye after it.

Despite generally playing the lone wolf, Fuyuhiko considers that he can break down if it's near Akane, which goes to show how much he trusts her. He wants to see her happy, knowing about the many hardships she's faced in her life, and has gone great lengths to try and get to see her smile, as seen when he covers the full costs of a birthday dinner for her at Le, a fancy French restaurant. Akane is also one of the select few who get to call Fuyuhiko by the affectionate nickname of "Fuyu" — oddly enough, he, in return, calls her by her last name, "Owari".

The two of them are members of the Council, alongside Sonia Nevermind and Kazuichi Souda.

Sonia Nevermind
Akane was the first person of the party to interact with Sonia, immediately dedicating herself to helping the princess retrieve her lost memories, despite apparently not knowing her, and having been implied to have a crush on her. Sonia has an idealized heroic image of Akane, mostly due to the latter's exaggerations of her feats in Zanzibar Island.

The two of them are members of the Council, alongside Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu and Kazuichi Souda.

Kiyotaka Ishimaru
Taka and Akane are close friends, holding each other in high regard, to the point where she refers to him as "[her] second favorite person". Their friendship blossomed during the Swag Ass Roblox Rock Incident, with both of them overworking themselves to make sure Fuyuhiko would recover well.

Noodle
Akane has a deep bond with Noodle, and often finds herself turning to the snake for comfort. She co-owns it with Fuyuhiko and Twonaka.

Masaru Daimon
Masaru looks up to Akane, going to the lengths of calling her "big sis Akane". He thinks she's a strong person, and her big sister instinct makes her feel a sense of protectiveness towards him.

Yuta Asahina
Although the two of them aren't close, Akane went out of her way to check on Yuta during the aftermath of The Void Reawakens, worried about his well-being, as he is younger than her and reminded her of her siblings.
