| rdfs:comment | - Have you ever met a man who lacked morals to the point where he'd sell his own mother for the right price? Akirame is that kind of guy. He is a man who never gambles, who only plays his hand when he knows he is going to win. A powerful warrior in his own rite, who is capable of extraordinary feats with a sword, only to apply them to serving those who pay him their life's worth of Ryō to kill men that they do not like. The word sellsword or mercenary is thrown around quite often, but in the end, Akirame is a murderer. Many in Amegakure have fallen to such unsavory professions, but very few are as articulate and skilled in the art of killing like Akirame is. He does not ask more questions than what is needed, and he is smart enough to know when to back down when needed.

| abstract | - Have you ever met a man who lacked morals to the point where he'd sell his own mother for the right price? Akirame is that kind of guy. He is a man who never gambles, who only plays his hand when he knows he is going to win. A powerful warrior in his own rite, who is capable of extraordinary feats with a sword, only to apply them to serving those who pay him their life's worth of Ryō to kill men that they do not like. The word sellsword or mercenary is thrown around quite often, but in the end, Akirame is a murderer. Many in Amegakure have fallen to such unsavory professions, but very few are as articulate and skilled in the art of killing like Akirame is. He does not ask more questions than what is needed, and he is smart enough to know when to back down when needed. With war on the horizon, men like Akirame will make out quite handsomely if they survive, and Akirame is more then ready for what is to come. Many of the lords and highest tier citizens of Amegakure in the past century have either been mercenaries or the children and family of mercenaries, having reached such a degree of power through bribery and manipulating their strengths during times of war. That is Akirame's endgame, to achieve what was once impossible for someone of his status to attain. Akirame has a long standing love of a woman named Ibara, a young, red haired beauty who works as a bar maid in a bar called The Wailing Woman. She is the one person in the world, still alive, who is capable of manipulating Akirame and making him act like a normal person. He acts as though he only desires her for her beauty, but it is quite evident that Akirame truly cares for her. Having stumbled upon her one night when he was fourteen, saving her from being raped, Akirame drew his sword and killed her attacker. She fainted in his arms, and he stayed by her side until she woke up. Since then, Akirame has visited her at least once a day (when not on a mission), to give her a rose and to help her with anything she needs. She is the last connection that Akirame has to a semi-decent human being.
