Description
Midori Akagi, codenamed Smart Green, serves as a major character in the series. He is the younger brother of Retsu Akagi, both hailing from Gunma Prefecture. At 8-9 years old, he stands as the youngest and smartest member of the KiraDeco 5 team, summoned to Jewel Land to collect Deco Stones and prevent eternal darkness from consuming the human world. His appearance features vibrant green hair, red eyes, and distinctive attire: a light blue jacket-style top, a light teal-green shirt, a bluish-purple scarf, light teal-green plaid shorts, and light brown boots with tan accents.
Midori displays a serious and prideful nature, frequently resenting treatment as a child. This resentment focuses intensely on his older brother, Retsu, stemming from a past incident where Retsu left him alone in a forest. That experience fueled Midori's jealousy and drive to surpass Retsu, whom he views as superior in every pursuit. Despite an outwardly resentful and angry demeanor, Midori reveals kindness when comforting his Jewelpet partner, Labra, while trapped in a cave. His initial interactions with the KiraDeco 5 proved strained; Pink Oomiya mistook him for a girl, creating a negative first impression.
As part of the KiraDeco 5, Midori lives with Labra and Angela to study their magic, though he often ends up lecturing them instead. His partnership with Labra is central, culminating in the creation of his Jewel of Fate, the Green Labradorite. This jewel enables a transformation into a new form, manifesting through his emotional bond with Labra during the team's final missions. Midori's fighting style emphasizes physical skills, though he struggles with focus during combat.
Midori's background includes a brief romantic pursuit of Charlotte, partly motivated by a desire to outdo Retsu in gaining affection. After using her honey for personal gain, Charlotte rejected him and developed feelings for Retsu. This failure deepened his rivalry with his brother. Across the series, however, Midori gradually reconciles with Retsu, admitting his own mistakes and acknowledging their brotherly bond. By the conclusion, he returns to the human world with Retsu and begins attending junior high school.
The etymology of his name reflects his characteristics: "Midori" means "green," and "Akagi" combines "red" (赤) and "castle" (城), aligning with his color motif and family ties.
