OVA
Description
Yukari Akiyama is a second-year Ooarai Girls Academy student and loader for the Anglerfish Team's Panzer IV. Her parents run a barbershop, yet her hair remains perpetually messy, reverting to its fluffy state despite styling efforts.

She developed extensive tank knowledge from childhood, which isolated her from peers until Ooarai's revived sensha-dō program embraced her expertise. She holds profound admiration for Miho Nishizumi, addressing her as "Nishizumi-dono" and recalling precise personal details.

During the Anzio High School match, Yukari infiltrated Anzio's school carrier disguised in a convenience store uniform. At a food stall, Anzio's vice-commander Pepperoni inadvertently disclosed specifications of their new P40 tank, enabling Yukari to identify it. This intelligence proved crucial for Ooarai's strategy, though she maintained fairness by avoiding exploitation of Caesar's connection to Anzio's Carpaccio.

Yukari regularly conducts espionage against opponents with mixed outcomes:
- Disguising as a Saunders student to gather tactics, but discovery followed suspicion.
- Posing as an Anzio customer to learn about the P40 from Pepperoni.
- Using a ghost disguise at St. Gloriana to force tank deployment reveals.
- Aborting a Pravda mission after being mistaken for a bear and shot.
- Receiving an unexpected guided tour from Bonple's Uszka.

Her technical skills extend beyond reconnaissance. She initially served as the Anglerfish Team's gunner, achieving a 100% hit rate in practice before transitioning to loader to accommodate Hana Isuzu. In manga adaptations, she commanded a B1 bis during the Anzio match, expressing frustration over its failure to score hits.

Later, she assumes the role of Ooarai's Student Council Vice President, replacing Yuzu Koyama. Her dedication to sensha-dō includes unconventional methods like carrying a Stielhandgranate for self-defense.

Physically, she has medium height, dark brown eyes, and messy chin-length dark brown hair—occasionally used by Hana Isuzu for flower arrangements in spin-off media. Her favorite tank is the Polish 7TPdw (two-turret version), and her birthday coincides with D-Day on June 6.
