Akito Yamada attends Tousei Academy as a high school student before advancing to college. Possessing a tall, lean frame, his exceptionally attractive appearance features sharp facial contours and long hair parted leftward, extending past his neck. Unstyled bangs frequently obscure his eyes. This striking look garners unwanted attention, unsettling him due to his introverted disposition—a trait inherited from his similarly reserved mother. He avoids social engagements, channeling energy into gaming while grappling with communication challenges, especially toward women. Though initially perceived as aloof, he exhibits consistent kindness and reliability, habitually prioritizing others' welfare above his own—evidenced when aiding seniors until exhaustion-induced illness strikes. He assesses scenarios analytically and responds pragmatically, reflecting his ISTP personality and Enneagram 5w6 classification. As a professional gamer securing sponsorships, he excels in first-person shooters. In the MMORPG Forest of Savior, he casually operates under the alias "Yamada" with an afro-sporting wizard avatar donning a Noh mask. His high-offense, low-defense tactics earn him fifth place globally. He affiliates with the Chocolate Rabbit guild. For games like War of Dolls, he adopts the pseudonym "Tanaka," serving as a strategic roamer during team missions. A childhood vow to his mother—to introduce only one girlfriend, intended as his future spouse—fuels his early romantic apathy. Initial encounters with Akane Kinoshita involve emotional detachment and bluntness, like dismissing her gaming attempts or accidentally shattering her necklace. Yet he reveals subtle concern, offering band-aids after her injury or returning her umbrella amid rainfall. Relationships catalyze his evolution. Childhood friend and mentor Eita Sasaki bridges his bond with Akane. He tutors Eita’s sister Runa, treating her as a sibling despite her initial hostility toward Akane’s guild involvement. When Runa endangers Akane, he intervenes protectively. Classmate Yukari Tsubaki develops unrequited feelings for him, yet they sustain a gaming-based friendship. His emotional growth surfaces through avoiding jealousy-triggering interactions with Akane and culminating in a heartfelt confession prioritizing her happiness. This development persists beyond anime adaptations into manga and live-action narratives, intensifying his devotion to Akane.
