Relationships[]

Nekomaru Nidai[]

Nekomaru is close to Akane due to their desire to improve themselves physically. She is constantly encouraging Nekomaru to fight her, although he usually rejects and states that she is quick and nimble but not very strong. This relationship is of a coach and their student, but other than training to become stronger, Nekomaru and Akane are very close friends.

Akane was the most shocked to discover that he was a cyborg and was really depressed about his death. Despite Gundham being executed, she was still depressed, leading Kazuichi to use some of Nekomaru's remains to create a mini-Nekomaru to cheer her up. Progressing throughout the game after Nekomaru's death, sometimes Akane's mini Nekomaru makes outbursts after she has said something.

During their time at Hope's Peak Academy, Akane and Nekomaru would often fight, Nekomaru considering it training, but Akane considering it as battle. The two were rather close despite their constant fighting.

Teruteru Hanamura[]

Akane admires Teruteru's cooking skills and seen eating a lot of his cooking creations. Akane also treats him as a friend and doesn't mind about his perverted personality. In Danganronpa: Hope Arc, Teruteru and Akane teamed up and defeat one of the Future Foundation soldiers. When everyone got in a ship, it was shown that Akane and Teruteru hung out and ate Teruteru's cooking along with Nekomaru.

Hajime Hinata[]

Hajime and Akane do not interact much in the main story, though they have a fairly decent relationship and he does worry about her when she is stricken with the Despair Disease. They eventually become close during her Free Time Events; Hajime is rather horrified to hear of the poverty and implied sexual abuse Akane went through growing up, especially her nonchalance towards it. Though she has difficulty remembering his name, she worries about Hajime not eating enough, in a similar way to how she worried about her younger siblings. He's annoyed by her forgetfulness and mentions thinking that she's a bit crazy, but he does envy her cheery attitude. During her final Free Time Events, she recalls his name correctly and accepts his advice about accepting and overcoming weakness rather than denying it.

Ryuko Matoi[]

Akane loves to compete with her a lot. Mainly combat. But Ryuko wins thanks to her hybrid side.

Raphael "Raph" Hamato[]

She likes to tease Raph and always annoy him so he can fight her.

Casey Jones[]

She also teases Casey's flirtatious side by doing the flirting herself. During one mission, Akane states that Casey can touch her breasts for $10 for each breast.

Rias Gremory[]

Akane and Rias work together as a team and get along well. They both tend to tease each other sexually to make the boys have nosebleeds.

Uzu Sanageyama[]

Akane respects Sanageyama since he's in charge of the Athletic Clubs in Honnouji Academy. She and Ryuko will work together to kick his butt.
