Profile |
Akari Kamigishi (神岸 あかり Kamigishi Akari) is one of the main heroines of To Heart.
Background[]
She is Hiroyuki's childhood friend, almost always go to wake Hiroyuki up in the morning. She is especially fond of teddy bears, with special emphasis on the one that Hiroyuki gave her during their childhood. Both Akari and Hiroyuki have known each other since kindergarten and they are extremely close. She is very much in love with Hiroyuki and spends a lot of time around him. Akari likes to call Hiroyuki "Hiroyuki-chan" even though he hates being called that. Akari is very adept at cooking and is a member of the school's cooking club.
In the anime, she adopts a central role, acting as narrator, with her romantic aspirations forming the main recurring theme of the series. In one episode (#7) she actually supplants Hiroyuki as the main character when she befriends the psychic girl Kotone: in all other episodes it is Hiroyuki who befriends the "guest" character of the episode. (In the manga Akari has a less pivotal role (though still a major one), and it is Hiroyuki who befriends Kotone.)
In To Heart: Remember My Memories, her normally optimistic and somewhat naive personality takes on a more depressed and emotional tone when Hiroyuki begins to pay less attention to her and more to the android Multi, and her relationship with Hiroyuki nearly fell apart.
Appearance[]
Akari has pretty ruby-red eyes and short hot-pink hair that is tied with a yellow ribbon.
Personality[]
Akari is a kind, caring and sweet girl who has a fondness for cuddly toys, especially teddy bears despite her age.
Etymology[]
- Akari's surname Kamigishi means "god" (神) (kami) and "shore" (岸) (kishi/gishi).
Trivia[]
- Her hairstyle is near similar to Tsukasa Hiiragi from Lucky Star.
