Akimoto Reiko, full name Reiko Katherine Akimoto, serves as a police officer at the Kameari Park police box. She is the daughter of the president of Kobe-based Akimoto Trading Zaibatsu, giving her a wealthy background. Her Japanese father and French mother, Francoise Akimoto, make her of mixed Japanese and French heritage. Reiko was raised in France before moving to Japan and received a high-class education encompassing ballet, violin, piano, cooking, and sports. She speaks approximately thirty languages. She has a younger sister named Yu Akimoto. Her father's persistent efforts to arrange her marriage frequently annoy her. Despite her affluent upbringing, Reiko maintains her career as a patrol officer, working alongside colleagues Ryotsu Kankichi, Keiichi Nakagawa, and Daijiro Ohara. She handles duties in the transportation department and drives a Porsche. Reiko possesses a tall stature, blonde hair reaching her hips, and blue eyes in the manga or amber eyes in the anime. Her measurements are 95-59-90 centimeters (bust-waist-hips). Her signature police uniform is a pink design featuring a short skirt and coat, with the manga emphasizing her cleavage more prominently than the anime. Off-duty, she wears fashionable, sometimes lavish clothing and occasionally styles her hair in variations like pigtails or bobs. Reiko exhibits a pleasant, sympathetic demeanor, willing to assist others or offer advice, often preparing tea for colleagues during downtime. She maintains a professional and diligent attitude at work, displaying a global perspective influenced by her international upbringing. She frequently engages in discussions to discourage risky or problematic schemes proposed by colleagues, particularly Ryotsu, though these劝阻 efforts are typically ineffective. She shows little personal interest in romantic pursuits despite frequent attention from men attracted to her appearance. She addresses Ryotsu casually as "Ryo-chan" and Nakagawa as "Kei-chan". She participated in a Hawaii vacation with colleagues in Kochira Katsushika-ku Kamearikouen-mae Hashutsujo The Movie 2, where they encountered a terrorist plot involving a UFO-shaped object designed to create destructive tornadoes targeting Tokyo; she joined the Katsushika Police Force in addressing this threat. Outside regular duties, she interacts positively with officers like Komachi Ono and Naoko Seisho, engaging in group activities like cooking or sewing for police-organized events. She demonstrates consideration for colleagues like Hayato Honda, helping prevent him from being pressured into distressing situations. Her birthday is on July 7, coinciding with the Japanese Tanabata Festival.
