(一条 あかり) Akari Ichijou

Born and raised in Tokyo, she was constantly battling diseases on her own until she finally understood her true calling: teleportation. When her older sister Hikari succumbed to disease, Akari became very agitated. At that time, their father called for her. She restlessly sat before her grim-faced father, who was about to give her a lecture about Hell’s Gate. Akari found out that Hell’s Gate was causing trouble again, and flew out of the room, bent on finding the perfect cure for her sister’s disease on her own: sealing Hell’s Gate. Her father accused her of not listening to what he said, but she was already gone. It is interesting to note that Akari has had the most appearance as a playable character out of all of the cast in the Last Blade games, appearing in: Neo Geo Battle Coliseum, SNK Gals Fighters & SNK vs. Capcom for the Neo Geo Pocket Color.
