<span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">personality:Akira is very Talkative, cocky, easily bored, and very hot-tempered at times. Unlike his mentor he does not brood on his parent's deaths but moved past them. Akira has a sense of humor which is ironic because of everything he's been through. . When it comes to those he sees as Family and friends dick will defend them without hesitation.

While on tour in fire nation capital, he overheard "Boss" Rokurou, a well-known and feared crime-lord, threaten the performers unless the circus's owner paid extortion money. The owner refused, and on that night Akira watched in horror as his parents' high wire snapped, sending his parents hurtling to their deaths, all while many of fire nation's elite watched on. Young Akira felt responsible, because he didn't warn his parents in time. Akira however couldn't catch a break,he was soon placed in an uncaring juvenile detention center because social services was full. There he was unmercifully beaten by a group of inmates. Because of this he was sent to a rundown orphanage where he was then beaten unmercifully by the older boys at the orphanage because he was a non-bender.

As he lay lying there bleeding all he could think about was how weak he was, that if he was stronger Akane would have never been kidnapped and he wouldn't be lying here dying.

Every night instead of going to sleep he would train both his mind and body near their breaking point aiming to reach his peak physical condition even after performances he would still train wanting to become stronger so that the events of one month ago would never happen again.when a year passed the circus had moved to Republic city and it was around that time that he felt he was ready donning a mask of his own making he began his double life of a circus performer and a vigilante.
