Akihiko is the mature and confident captain of his schools boxing team, as well as a senior at Gekkoukan High. He is a hard worker who balances a high GPA with near-constant training. Since Akihiko is a boxer, he uses gloves and claws in battle. His Persona can be used to cast electric magic and debuff spells. He cannot fight for the first part of the game due to injuries received during the Dark Hour.
Akihiko was one of the three Persona users who originally founded SEES, alongside Mitsuru and Shinjiro. He and Shinjiro were close friends as children, having grown up in an orphanage together with Akihiko's now-deceased sister Miki. However, one night when the two were chasing down a Shadow, Shinjiros Persona went out of control and an innocent bystander was killed. The bystander was Ken Amadas mother.
After the incident, Shinjiro left SEES and his friendship with Akihiko became strained. The two only reconnect when Ken joins SEES, and Akihiko convinces Shinjiro to rejoin the group in order to protect him.
When Akihiko realizes that Ken only volunteered for SEES as a means to get revenge on Shinjiro, he tries to save both of them from making grave mistakes, but he arrives too late. Though Ken lets go of his vendetta, Shinjiro is fatally shot while protecting him from Takaya. In the end, Shinjiros way of facing death head on gave Akihiko the courage to carry on in spite of all his losses. Akihiko is determined that Shinjiro's death not be in vain and to be just as fearless in the face of his own mortality. He is the character that is the least upset and conflicted about the impossible odds of fighting Nyx.
In Persona 3: FES, a door which shows Akihiko's past reveals why the evoker looks like a gun. When Mitsuru first asked him to join her in fighting Shadows, she decided to create an evoker that would grab his attention, and so she chose the gun shape. Akihiko, however, was disappointed when he found out the evoker wasn't meant to shoot others, but to shoot himself in order to free his Persona.
In Persona 3 Portable, he is the S. Link for the Star Arcana, but only when the player plays as the Female Protagonist. In his S.Link he expresses his deep memory towards Miki.
He also appears in the non canonical anime Persona -trinity soul-, which takes place in an alternative universe of the Persona 3 world. 10 years older, he seemingly has lost the ability to control his Persona.
Shigenori Soejima had wanted to create a "cool upperclassman" when Akihiko was developed with "an impressive aura about him".
