Akira Takizawa

Akira Takizawa is the main protagonist from the Eden of the East anime.

Akira Takizawa awakens outside the White House with no memories and stark naked. He befriends Saki Morimi, a Japanese college student on vacation in America on her way to catch a flight home. Armed with a cellphone, Takizawa learns he is part of a game created by one Mr. Outside to use the ten billion yen on the phone to improve the state of Japan. Takizawa meets his fellow Seleção, whilst trying to recover his memories before and after he was selected for the game.

He was born on January 7, 1989, making him one day younger than Saki. Later on, it turns out "Akira Takizawa" is not his real name and his actual name remains a mystery.

Appearance
Akira is shown as a Japanese male with long hair. For the first six episodes of the of the series, he wears a khaki green M-1965 field jacket, white t-shirt, jeans and walking boots. He rips his jacket severely during the tanker truck accident. Later, for the next five episodes, he wears a longer green coat with a hood (due to the onset of winter), and a black jumper. In the first Eden of the East movie, he wears a suit and tie, losing the suit jacket when under attack from Number 6. By the second Eden of the East movie, he's changed to a light grey tracksuit and a black t-shirt, but when confronting Mr. Outside, he's back in his original outfit.

Personality
Discovers he was possibly responsible for the Careless Monday missile attacks, but actually used it as an excuse to save 20,000 NEETS that helped him evacuate citizens from being arrested for the same thing, and then erased his own memory to cover up his and their tracks. He's pretty crazy and spontaneous, with and without his memory.

Takizawa is quite the charmer, showing his Johnny to a businessman to give up his pants, and convinces a policewoman to let him and Saki go to the airport.

Trivia
