CHARACTER Name: Kirihara Akaya Journal:knuckling Appearance: Pretty much the same Akaya everyone knows! He's quite a bit taller now, around ~177cm, and as such has filled out accordingly (he is solidly-built; not like Sanada-tier but still solid, somewhat at odds with his cute face), but that's just about the only difference.
Personality: While Akaya has matured somewhat over the past six years, he's still definitely himself. A casual, open person with a confident-bordering-arrogant air to him, Akaya is an extrovert who likes making friends. While he can still be a bit dense, his wit and knowledge are a lot sharper than they were in middle school. Dealing with emotional problems still isn't a strong suit and his thin skin remains, however. Provoking him isn't anywhere near as easy as it once was, but getting him truly angry is still probably a Bad Move. In his free time he likes hanging out and playing video games or chatting online. After spending too much time sulking in America after one disappointing US Open, he has a voracious addiction to the shittiest tier of light beer.
Biography: After being calmly reminded that language was an important skill for a pro tennis player, Akaya really buckled down during high school. After getting past his initial disdain for study, he found himself actually enjoying English. Keeping the rest of his grades up to scratch was still an issue, however with some determination and quite a bit of assistance Akaya graduated with a fairly decent set of scores. As a result, he is currently studying International Relations (very) part-time at Waseda University. He isn't doing so well, but it's good for his image.
Speaking of his image, Akaya naturally pursued a pro tennis career. He has done quite well for himself, having participated in several Grand Slams over the past three years and gathering a stash of minor titles to his name. After a particularly commanding victory over a local favourite at this year's Australian Open and a resultant showing in the semi-finals (losing 3-2 to a particularly irritating German player), he has developed a decent fanbase and has solidified himself as a real contender for future wins. Akaya plays more fairly these days, relying on his blistering pace and power - a significantly less amount of blood hits the court, though occasionally a stray shot might collide with a knee every now and then. Accidentally, of course.
Unfortunately, the Golden Age of tennis being the way it is, he's facing down competition from familiar Japanese players as well as International threats. Currently he's hovering around world no.35 due to his recent success. He also has a small following as a video game streamer, known for being absolutely awful at Tekken but pretty good at Smash and Pokemon. He lives alone in a rented apartment, but finds that it gets lonely sometimes.
RP Samples: [thumbs up emoji] hey so like!! hypothetically. if i broke my ps4 controller. and also my monitor. hypothetically. would someone be able to fix it for me, like, within the hour? "akaya its 1am" "akaya how did you break those" "akaya go to bed" <- these are all banned and if i see you posting any variations of these i WILL come to your house and pull the a k and y off your keyboard and then throw them down the garbage disposal.
anyway i can pay you in alcohols or yens, both of which i have plenty of at the moment. alternatively if anyone can bring me a new controller and monitor within the same time period, the same offer of payment applies.
