Changes: Akira Maeda

Revision as of 07:58, 25 December 2012

Give up — One of the very few times he smiles.

Akira is a delinquent who claims to never have lost a single of the fights he always got into before high school, including one which was 5 vs. 1. Nowadays, he often is abducted by delinquents from Bass High School and is ignored and disrespected in Cromartie High because he lacks a nickname. In the manga, he chooses the nickname "Dragon of Razors" with the help of Hokuto's lackey, who himself decides on "The American Dream", though no one else seems to acknowledge those names.

Often the most conservative of Kamiyama's friends and possibly the only one with common sense. He usually is the unwilling host of Cromartie High gatherings at his house. He bears a great resemblance to his mother, whose appearance normally horrifies everyone else. Other times, Mrs. Maeda is mistaken for her son, and he is always the one who points it out.

His name is a parody of a famous Japanese wrestler. His female form wears a big blue bow on her head and is called Akiko, which coincidentally is the name of a Japanese award-winning ceramist.

His actors are Tetsu Inada (anime), Andy McAvin (English dub) and Hiroshi Yamamoto (movie).
