Akane Kimidori is a rebellious tomboy who becomes Arale Norimaki's best friend after initial annoyance at her persistent following. They meet as desk partners in Miss Yamabuki's class, with Akane gaining respect upon witnessing Arale's strength. She resides at her sister Aoi's Coffee Pot café, contrasting Aoi's gentleness through rule-breaking tendencies and pranks targeting Senbei Norimaki. Despite poor academic grades, Akane demonstrates cunning intelligence in elaborate schemes deceiving Penguin Village residents. Her documented aversions include caterpillars and peppers. She exhibits a short temper, turning aggressive when angered. Early series habits involve carrying liquor in her canteen for school consumption, leading to punishments and missed events like a time travel trip due to hangovers, though this behavior fades over time. Her relationship with Tsukutsun Tsun evolves into romance, culminating in marriage. Future glimpses show them together at ages 23 and 73. Akane dies at 43 during Earth's destruction in Dragon Ball Z's timeline before Namekian Dragon Balls revive her. Crossover appearances include interacting with Goku's group at the Coffee Pot during the Red Ribbon Army Saga, dismissing their spring break plans. Taro Soramame pulls her over for speeding before Goku's warning. Her attempt to ride Goku's Flying Nimbus fails due to an impure heart. In Dragon Ball Super episode 69, she appears when Arale crashes into the café, inexplicably retaining her 13-year-old appearance despite being approximately 49. She also cameos in Dragon Ball Heroes: Victory Mission alongside Taro and Peasuke Soramame. Special abilities feature the Cobra Twist wrestling move. Notable events include trading places with Arale unknowingly, causing confusion when Senbei offers robot-specific items. She manages Arale's school club selections and participates in a baseball game where her pants fall during batting. Design iterations vary: original depictions show blonde hair and blue eyes, while the 1997 remake gives her brunette hair (matching Aoi) and yellow eyes. A GU clothing commercial features Yuki Uchida portraying Akane with Peasuke and Taro. Personality-wise, she parallels Bulma through initial protagonist annoyance, romantic dynamics resembling Bulma's relationship with Yamcha, and frequent scooter/motorcycle depictions.
