Akira Kogami

Akira Kogami is a character from the Lucky Star anime.

Akira is the host of the Lucky Channel with Minoru Shiraishi.

In the AWA fics, Akira debuted in Chapter 36 at All World Alliance Stories.

Appearance
Akira has short, salmon pink hair, an ahoge towards the right side of her head, and golden-yellow eyes. Like Konata Izumi, she has a split lip. Her arms are so short that the sleeves of her winter school uniform easily cover her hands. Like most of the Lucky Star characters, she has bangs and messy hair.

Personality
Akira's idol persona tends to be very energetic, and her chief form of greeting is "Hiya, Luckies!" ("Oha Lucky" or "Ohayou Lucky" in Japanese), and frequently ends each episode with "Bye-ni!/Bye-nee!". The cute persona, however, is a cover-up; in reality, whenever she is annoyed or feels that her career or popularity is threatened (usually both by her assistant, Minoru Shiraishi), her attitude immediately changes. For example, when Minoru once called something she said lame, she grabbed him and yelled, "Did you say something?!" Akira's bright persona is instantaneously shed to reveal a deep voiced, violent, chain-smoking, selfish-cynic of a burnt-out entertainer on the brink of becoming a has-been. However, her talents are undeniable; she has been in the entertainment business since the age of three.

She gets annoyed with her assistant, which is part of the running gag. She has been known to throw all sorts of objects (such as her overflowing ashtray) at Minoru's face, particularly whenever he mentions that a girl in the Lucky Star cast is cute and when he finds Tsukasa Hiiragi an idol to look up to.

Akira's disturbing and menacing persona may be a tongue-in-cheek and satirical look at the insecurities of Japanese idol singers, whose popularity is constantly threatened by the "next cutest thing on the block".

Trivia

 * Beginning Volume 6 of the manga, a new section almost the end of the manga called "Akira's Kingdom" was featured, which shows Akira's moments at her school and also revealed Akira's classmates.
