Ako Izumi is a character from the Mahou Sensei Negima anime and manga.
Ako is student number 5 in class 3-A. She is a shy athletic girl who works as a school nurse's assistant.
In the AWA fics, Ako is a student at the AWA Academy.
In the XP4 fics, Ako is set to debut in a future XP4 storyline.
Appearance[]
Ako is a short, petite girl with a short, bluish-gray hair and has a reddish-brown eyes. She usually wears her Mahora Academy uniform.
Personality[]
Ako is a very unique character as first time she appeared, she is only a side character. However, as the story progresses, she becomes more and more of a main character.
One interesting point is that she has a fear of seeing blood, which makes her position as a nurse's assistant seem odd. She has a large scar across her back, which she makes every effort to hide from others and is the source of her low self-confidence, as she believes that the mark makes her ugly and unwanted. The scar may also be connected to her fear of blood, as seen in Chapter 123.
Abilities[]
- Manga: Cultrix Cum Traumate (literally, "Worker With Trauma"): Made with Negi in Chapter 289. Her artifact is a big syringe with a needle 1.8 cm wide is named Mysterious Syringe. By injecting the needle into a targeted person (she claims this injection needs to go up the rear end), that person is able to receive a magical boost to his/her abilities (such as allowing Yuna and Makie to keep up with Koyomi in her transformed form). In Chapter 348 it is also revealed to be captable of injecting poison that can reverse a target's direction and senses when she is forced to use in on Negi.

Inside the kit is a giant band-aid that heals any wound instantly. She has a star painted on her right cheek and a cloveron her right thigh. The pattern on her shorts also resembles the design of the standard Teamgeist ball.
- Armor: Knowledge Syringe: Similar to the manga Pactio card, she is dressed in a blue nursing outfit with wings while riding on a giant syringe which appears to be her main weapon. This time she no longer has her cat-like appearance.
