Shinonome Akito

Name: Shinonome Akito, Akito, Aki, Shinonome Hair: Akito has messy orange hair with a dyed yellow streak on the left side of his center bangs. Eyes: Akito has Olive-green eyes. Features: Akito is 18 years old male, birthday is November 12th, 176 cm tall, Akito has white skin color, with a normal muscular or toned build from working out and practicing his shows. Personality: Akito appears to be an easygoing guy at first. However, his personality drastically changes when music is involved, becoming hot-blooded and passionate to the point where people find him scary. He respects anyone who is passionate about their interest and hates half-hearted people. He acts polite towards acquaintances and strangers, but when in the presence of people he is familiar with, he drops this act, showing his true gruff personality. Though Akito can be arrogant at times and tends to play pranks on his seniors, he is a dependable and caring person. Akito likes music, VIVID BAD SQUAD, his fellow friends or acquaintances, his family and pancakes and cheesecakes. He dislikes dogs, no matter their size.

When Akito meets someone new, he puts on a charming persona, which Toya calls his "nice-guy persona" and seems to dislike. He is good at maintaining his polite facade and uses it when interacting with customers at his workplace.

Clothing: Akito wears a pale yellow hoodie underneath a black-and-yellow jacket. He wears black athletic pants, with two white stripes on the sides, alongside a red checkered jacket tied around his waist. Mostly wears black underwear. He has black and white shoes with blue undertones and yellow shoelaces. Akito's second outfit consists of a white hoodie with the word "TRACK" printed on the front underneath a dark gray-and-orange jacket with the word "SCORCHING" printed diagonally across the front. He wears baggy black pants with a hot pink cloth around his left knee and a blue-and-white belt, and dark gray-and-black running shoes accented with orange. His earrings are different, with the left attached to a chain.

Relationships: Azusawa Kohane: Fellow group member. Akito saw her as a newbie who had no idea what she was getting into and was critical toward her, but he changed his mind after seeing her and An's performance later on. In many conversations, Akito tells Kohane to keep her head up and gives her advice about music. He occasionally bullies Kohane to get a humorous reaction out of her, much to the disapproval of An and Toya. But, Akito has extended his older brotherly role to his interactions with Kohane.

Shiraishi An: Fellow group member. The two have known each other since middle school since Akito would frequently drop by WEEKEND GARAGE after his experience with RAD WEEKEND. From a flashback, it is revealed that Akito first saw An in middle school when she was singing on Vivid Street, and was taken aback by her talent at such a young age. That said, after becoming Vivid BAD SQUAD, a rivalry forms between the two of them, and they often clash and bully each other. Despite this, they are shown to have great teamwork and their rivalry allows them to do their absolute best in each performance. They often compete in friendly competitions, like snowboarding or with test scores. Akito is at times shown to be exasperated with An’s excitable personality.

However, Akito was also the first to notice An's complicated feelings toward's Kohane's astounding improvements in her skills, taking time to worry about her and talk to her one-on-one about her feelings of inferiority. After the shock of Kohane's opening solo hits An, he notices her disbelief and confirms with her that she can put on a great show as well.

Aoyagi Toya: Fellow group member and singing partner. Around two years before the Vivid BAD SQUAD took place, Akito met Toya when he was performing on the street, and Akito was intrigued by him, inviting him to sing together. They quickly formed BAD DOGS after that. Akito trusts Toya completely and is aware about his negative relationship with his father. They are very close and often rely on each other while performing.

Momoi Airi: Ena's friend from middle school and Akito's acquaintance. The two became acquainted through her visits to the Shinonome household to see Ena. It's implied that they aren't particularly close, as Akito regards her with the same distance and false politeness that he does other acquaintances, and Airi has said on occasion that they don't talk much. Akito is appreciative towards Airi for being Ena's friend, as in that he reminds Ena that Airi was the only good friend that she had until she met Mizuki.

Tenma Tsukasa: Akito's upperclassman. Akito considers him a weirdo, and seems to enjoy teasing him. It is hinted that he was initially jealous of Tsukasa, due to Toya's attachment towards him and him not understanding why Toya trusts him so much. After learning more about their history, Akito mentions that he owes Tsukasa his thanks for encouraging Toya to pursue what he likes, which allowed Akito and Toya to meet. Akito also appears to be wary of the influence Tsukasa and Rui have on Toya, and at times will act protective of Toya when they're around.

Otori Emu: Akito's acquaintance. While he was already vaguely aware of her through her work with Wonderlands x Showtime, they are only officially introduced to each other when they meet at the Arcade for the arcade game tornament. Similarly to Tsukasa, Akito is put off by her loudness and eccentricity.

Kamishiro Rui: Akito is acquainted to Rui through them attending the same school. He is the second half of the pair that Akito has deemed "Weirdo One and Two", with "Weirdo One" being Tsukasa. Akito dislikes Rui for his manipulative tendencies, as seen on a school trip where he quickly realizes that Rui was using reverse psychology on him and gets angry. While he does end up helping Rui as a wedding extra, he reminds Rui that he's only doing it for Toya's sake.

The two interact sometimes worried for each other, but fespite the two appearing to grow closer through these interactions, Akito still refuses to participate in Rui's wacky stunts that he often forces Tsukasa to perform in.

Kusanagi Nene: Akito's acquaintance. They attend the same school and occasionally see each other in passing. However, they aren't close, and Nene is openly intimidated by him. Nene seems to be aware of his double-sided personality, as when Emu is surprised that he stops politely smiling after he's forced to introduce himself to her, she says that Akito is "that kind of person". They are in class 2-A together, and they interact more lately.

Shinonome Ena: Akito's older sister. Initially it is shown that Ena rarely pays attention to him, as she is always focused on chatting with her online friends. Due to Ena attending school at night, they rarely see each other during the day. They have similar food preferences, both liking pancakes and cheesecake while disliking carrots. Ena tends to use him as her errand boy, much to his annoyance; despite this, they seem to care for one another, as Akito once advised their father to be gentler with Ena when giving her advice. Ena is responsible for Akito taking an interest in street music, as she showed him a live performance following him giving up on playing soccer and urged him to give music a try instead.

Akiyama Mizuki: Akito's schoolmate. Mizuki enjoys teasing him and often calls him "little brother-kun"/"lil' bro" much to his chagrin. They first met during the Kamiyama School Festival. Mizuki recognized his voice from the background of Ena's calls. Later on they start growing closer as they went to the chocolate factory together and also bond over fashion.

Kagamine Rin: She and Len see him as an older brother figure. Akito treats Rin like an annoying younger sibling, who he is at times lenient toward, usually to get her out of his hair. When asked by Rin who between Miku and MEIKO is most reminiscent of Ena, he says that Rin resembles her the most, due to their mutual stubbornness. Despite this comparison, it's implied that Rin gets both her stubbornness as well as her hot-temper from Akito, which are traits he also shares with his sister, Ena.

Kagamine Len: Akito appears to be the unit member Len is most attached to in Street SEKAI and views Akito as a paragon of coolness. Len is frequently seen seeking Akito's approval. Similarly, to his treatment of Rin, Akito views Len like an annoying younger sibling, though the treatment differs a bit in that he's gentler with Len and he doesn't complain as much when Len wants to practice with him. In a story, they confirm that they have a sibling-like bond.

KAITO: VIRTUAL SINGER and friend. In STRAY BAD DOG it's shown that Akito disliked KAITO at first due to KAITO's carefree tendencies, though he's seemingly gotten used to him by THE POWER OF UNITY. A big part of his dislike for KAITO appears to stem from his inability to reconcile KAITO's skill as a DJ with his eccentric personality. KAITO and Akito share a few traits in common, such as their love for sweets, desire to be respected, and their outward personalities that hide another aspect of themselves.

Shiraishi Ken: An's father, the man who participated in RAD WEEKEND, and Akito's role model. Since becoming interested in street music, Akito has a strong attachment to him and is hinted to be jealous that An gets special treatment from him due to being his daughter. Ken acts as a pseudo-parental figure to Akito in place of Akito's actual father and is implied to have been mentoring Akito and Toya since before main events.

Backstory: Akito's backstory: When Akito was in elementary school, he played for a soccer team named Shibuya Diamonds. While he was one of the best on the team, he decided to quit after him and his team lost an important tournament. Some time after he quit playing soccer, his sister Ena brought him to a summer festival where she encouraged him to try singing. This kickstarted his interest in street music, which eventually grew into the dream of surpassing the legendary music event RAD WEEKEND. He sang together with Toya under the name BAD DOGS before forming Vivid BAD SQUAD with An and Kohane. Even after joining Vivid BAD SQUAD, he still operates under the BAD DOGS unit with Toya. His father is an artist, and is shown to be emotionally neglectful to both him and his older sister. Their mother is rarely mentioned. As a second year, Akito is classmates with An and Nene in class 2-A.

VIVID BAD SQUAD's backstory: Azusawa Kohane gets lost in the streets while trying to purchase a CD for her mom, stumbling upon Shiraishi An and her fellow musicians performing inside Weekend Garage's backstage area. Though captivated by their singing, she runs away out of shyness when confronted by An. After coming back a week later, An still remembers Kohane and performs for her, also inviting the girl to sing. An realizes the potential Kohane has when singing, inviting her to form a band in her dream to surpass a legendary music event dubbed RAD WEEKEND. She agrees, thus forming their duo group, Vivids. They also happen to meet BAD DOGS, Shinonome Akito and Aoyagi Toya, on the same day.

Akito invites Kohane and An to attend an event, and both girls accept the offer. While forming a set list of songs in a playlist, Kohane discovers "Untitled." Upon attempting to download the song, An and Kohane get transported to SEKAI where they are greeted by Hatsune Miku and MEIKO. With the help of the VIRTUAL SINGERS, the Vivids and BAD DOGS join forces to create Vivid BAD SQUAD and surpass RAD WEEKEND.
