Akane bears an uncanny resemblance to Wakaba Tsukishima. Her parents opened a soba restaurant next to Kitamura Sporting Goods shortly after Seishū's loss to Ryuō. She is an excellent artist, and won the grand prize of the Kōshien Poster Art Competition, using Aoba as the model. She is currently enrolled in Seisen Private Girl's Academy and is employed at Coffee Clover. She has suffered from an unknown disease since childhood and is often admitted into the hospital for various tests. She has stated that she is dating Kō Kitamura, but she seems to be very caring towards Akaishi as well.
