Description
Inuki Akaya works as a physician at Jokei University Hospital, associated with the protagonist's university. He sports distinctive red hair cut to neck length, yellow eyes, and wears glasses. His standard doctor's attire visually opposes the biker-inspired look of his childhood friend, Jun Aoi, extending to their color symbolism; Inuki's red contrasts Jun's blue, establishing them as narrative foils.
After the Great Collapse event plunged the city into catastrophe and mass unconsciousness, Inuki treated comatose victims, including the protagonist who remained unconscious for five months. An early awakener to blood manipulation abilities, Inuki manifests claw-like enhancements through his blood armament, transforming his hands into weapons. This altered state exhibits werewolf-like traits, reflecting the meaning of his name ("Inuki" translates to "dog"). Despite gaining these powers, he harbored deep apprehension toward them and secretly researched methods to reverse the monster transformations affecting Tokyo's populace.
Inuki grew up in an orphanage alongside Jun Aoi, forging a brotherly bond. This shared history creates emotional complexity when Jun becomes a high-ranking member of the antagonistic AVAL Science Foundation, placing them on opposing sides. Professionally, Inuki partnered with nurse Koume Sakiyama at the university hospital, combining his medical expertise with her nursing duties into a functional team despite Koume's notoriously poor bedside manner. Their dynamic implies mutual care beneath surface interactions, with Koume showing particular concern for Inuki's wellbeing.
As a member of the Malthus Church faction, Inuki collaborated to combat the crisis. His personality blended a strong sense of responsibility with self-sacrificing tendencies, often leading him to shoulder burdens alone, sometimes causing overexertion during missions. His intelligence and resourcefulness proved valuable to the group, though he occasionally struggled with self-doubt regarding his capabilities.
Inuki's story concludes when he suffers fatal wounds from Kaburagi Kark's scythe-wielding familiar during a confrontation. His death profoundly impacts Jun Aoi, who mourns by placing a rose in his honor, underscoring their enduring connection despite factional opposition and highlighting the tragic dimension of their fractured friendship.
