Kouki Akune

Kouki Akune is one of the main characters from the Medaka Box anime and manga.

Kouki is a junior and later senior of Class 11. He was formerly a member of the Judo Club, but later became the secretary for Medaka Kurokami's Student Council. He has since left the Student Council and returned to the Judo Club.

In the AWA fics, Kouki is a student at the AWA Academy and is part of Class 5.

Appearance
Akune has shoulder-length blonde hair and yellow eyes. He initially wore the standard men's uniform of Hakoniwa Academy, though after joining the Student Council, he changes to the Student Council uniform, black as opposed to the usual white. Akune wears his uniform with the collar up and open and without the tie, both to imitate Medaka's own uniform and because he is a fan of Elvis Presley. The green armband signifying him as the secretary is worn around his left arm. During the battle to decide the academy's new Student Council, Akune wears the Student Council's Battle Attire Red Model. Akune gives up his armband after leaving the Student Council. Though he now wears the standard uniform again, he wears the collar up and open and without the tie as he did when a member of the Student Council. When at the Judo Club, Akune wears his Judo uniform. Ten years later, Akune wears a dark-colored suit jacket over a white vest and tie with black pants.

When he was a middle school student, Akune wore the uniform of Hakobune Middle School, though with the jacket open to show his chest. He also wore stomach wrappings, and had longer, messier hair.

Personality
Akune has been infatuated with Medaka since middle school and hates Zenkichi Hitoyoshi for being able to spend so much time with her. He was a delinquent in middle school but, after being converted by Medaka, Akune immediately developed feelings for her and gradually became less violent. He now has very little desire to hurt others and is sickened when he has to. He is still capable of fighting dirty however, and is less inclined to "fight fair" than either Medaka or Zenkichi. Because of the time he spent with Misogi Kumagawa during middle school, he is unable to deal with the mentality of a Minus.

Akune also has a very intelligent mindset at a genius level capable of thinking rationally and analytically in almost any situation. Zenkichi believes that Akune was holding himself back when he is in conflict with him in the past which shows Akune hidden respect for Zenkichi. Zenkichi also states that fighting against Medaka's All-roundedness and Akune's smarts combined is beyond frightening.

Abilities
Technique Mimicry: Akune is a Special and one of the school's many scholarship students. His ability is being able to copy the skills of other people, but to a lesser extent. He was able to successfully use both Zenkichi's stomp and Kikaijima's scream; what's more, he was able to use both at the same time.

Combat Expert: A second dan in judo, Akune is known as the "Prince of Judo" and was the star of the Judo Club due to his natural fighting abilities. Though he isn't as skilled with judo as Nabeshima, like his upperclassman, Akune can also hold his own against Abnormals.

Secretarial Skills: Akune has beautiful handwriting.
