Aki'hito di Kaze Illyria

Aki'hito di Kaze Illyria (known only as Aki'hito, or more commonly Aki while on Earth) is one of the five Daimyos of Ōkami, as the pilot of the White Wolf. Aki'hito is a 538 year-old Illyrian-- the eldest child of the Illyrian royal family, and the child of King Yuu'ma and the first Queen, Shi'ori.

Aki'hito and his twin brother, Taku'mi, were born during the 1400's to the King and Queen and lived in relative happiness in the Illyrian palace, until Queen Shi'ori's sudden death in 1858.

Aki'hito had always been known to be rebellious, carefree, emotional, troubled, insecure, misunderstood, impulsive, competitive, and irresponsible and seemed to lack a general sense of direction. Many denizens of the Crown City deemed that Aki'hito did not have the qualities befitting of a member of the royal family, much less accept him as the Crown Prince. Aki'hito's father, King Yuu'ma, was the most drastic in this regard, and did not hold back in expressing his disappointment and resentment in him. The main reason for this being that Aki'hito often bluntly expressed that he had no desire to ever ascend to the throne, and many times outwardly shunned his royal heritage. However, Aki'hito's true reasons for feeling this way are known only to him.

Despite his very strained relationship with Yuu'ma during his time on Illyria, Aki'hito was close to his twin brother Taku'mi and they shared a very close relationship and bond. Aki'hito thought of Taku'mi as the person he trusted the most. However, the brothers' relationship eventually became strained after Brit'ta Kendal, an Illyrian socialite, came into their lives and both brothers started to compete fiercely for her affections, with neither being aware that Brit'ta was playing them against one another. Aki'hito's relationship with Taku'mi became increasingly tense once Taku'mi declared that he would step up as Crown Prince in Aki'hito's place.

Aki'hito left Illyria and went to Earth in 1864 due to his strained relationship with his twin brother and father, and his desire to distance himself from his royal heritage. They have not seen each other since that time due to their bitter and occasionally violent relationship.
