History:
Akihiko was born in Tokyo. He was born to two wizard parents in a longstanding bloodline. He grew up with all four generations of his family. They lived in a large and industrious house near the heart of the city. Akihiko was never without company, whether it be with his great grandparents, any of his many grandparents, his aunts, uncles, his only cousin or his parents. The house was always a rush of activity. Through it all, Akihiko managed to be the star or the family. They all agreed that he would be the one to lead them to greatness.

Akihito lived with all four generations of his family. Because of that the house was always packed. He had his great-grandparents from all four of his grandparents, his grandparents on his mom’s side and his grandparents on his dad’s side. He had his mom and his dad. He had his aunt and uncle. He had his cousin. He had his cousin’s grandparents and his cousin's great-grandparents. That meant the house was filled with a grand total of 20 people living in the house. That was one big house, and one loud family.

Akihito’s parents grew up in a strict pure blood only family. They were taught that being pure blood was superior and marrying a muggle would be disrespecting the whole family. Because the entire family lived together, Akihiko grew up with the same idea. He knew that marrying anyone but pureblood would wreck the whole bloodline. He was the one everyone in the family was looking to, and he couldn’t mess up.

Akihito first performed magic as a tiny baby. He was sleeping on the couch when someone made the mistake of sitting down beside him and waking him up. With a start, Akihito awoke and began crying. No one likes to be awoken from a restful sleep, and certainly not Akihito. The unfortunate soul who made the mistake of taking a seat on the couch found himself lifted by his clothes and flung across the room onto the nearest chair. They weren’t mad once they figured out that bright little Akihito, living up to his name, had performed magic. At such a young age, they said, he was sure to be a bright wizard.

Akihito was encouraged to take many lessons during his childhood. He got tutoring for normal school subjects as well as foreign languages. He was taught English and Mandarin Chinese, along with his native tongue, Japanese. With so many languages, he was always forgetting which one he was speaking in. In the span of one conversation he could change his language three times. Usually he is good at explaining what he said in another language, but at other times you’ll have to remind him to translate. Along with languages, he was encouraged to learn an instrument, and he chose piano. He grew good at the piano and performed at concerts locally.

Growing up as the star of the family had its perks. He quickly learned that once you got some you needed more. ‘More’ was his motto. Once the family had gotten to see some of his talent, they had wanted more. They forced him into lessons that he didn’t want to take, and if he wasn’t successful they forced him into something else. As his talents and success grew, Akihiko had to be on the lookout for his cousin’s pranks. They started as harmless, and Akihiko would laugh along, but as he grew older he learned to always be watching out for them. The distance between the only two children in the family grew, and there wasn’t much anyone could do to salvage it.

Akihiko was always living a fast life. More. More. More. The family always expected more out of him, as if what he had done wasn’t enough. More fame. More trophies. Akihiko didn’t know how much longer he could keep going when he received his letter. His parents were thrilled. Another place he could excel. But he was tired of excelling, and jealous of his cousin. Was it to much to ask to lead a normal life?

Akihiko was a very lovable person. He seemed to always be looking to put you in your comfort zone. Whether it was by telling a witty joke or giving you a playful shove, he was always looking out for you. Even as a child he seemed to be charming. He was the center of attention in his family, and was a tad bit spoiled. From an early age he was making people laugh by doing funny things.

Once, when he was five he was with his grandparents. They were watching him and his cousin for the weekend and they were playing outside. Akihiko and Botan were playing in the mud, trying to make the best pie. Per usual, Akihiko made a beautiful mud pie out of mud and rocks. Botan was busy making a mud pie out of mud and worms, and you could see in his grandparents eyes whose pie they liked. When time came to present their mud pies to their grandparents, neither boy would be satisfied with a ‘they’re both great’. His grandparents looked at each other nervously. “I like BoBo’s the best!” Akihiko announced with a grin. His grandparents looked at each other gratefully. “That settles it. Kento is the winner!” Akihiko winked at his grandparents.

Part of the reason Akihiko was so successful was because he was so charming. He was always making his teachers laugh, and they all said the same thing. “What a charming boy! Don’t tell the other students, but he’s my favorite.”. Akihiko didn’t want to be the best, or the favorite. The only problem was that he couldn’t turn off his charm. There were certain things that would pop in his head, and he would just say them. He wasn’t even trying to be funny, but everyone would laugh.

Akihiko wished that he could be like his cousin, who was popular among their age. When Akihiko tried to talk to the boys his age they would run away shouting’ “Look! It’s Akihiko, golden boy!”. Akihiko never had the chance to actually speak to them, charm them. But finally the opportunity arose. He was sitting on the side of the road eating a slice of melon when the pack of them ran by. Seeing an opportunity, he joined the chase. He gained to the front and found that they were chasing after a defenseless old man riding a bike. “Bikes are for kids, old man!” They yelled. Akihiko managed to make it to the front of the group. “Stop!” He shouted, skidding to a stop in front of them. “What has this man ever done to you?” He glanced at the man who was looking at him affectionately. “Leave him alone,” he shouted, and with that they scattered. The old man climbed off his bike and shook his hand. “You will make a fine man one day. Let me meet your parents and tell them of your respect for an old man like me,” he chuckled, and I was left with no choice but to take him back to my house. “What is your name?” He asked. “Akihiko,” I replied. “Akihiko, what a beautiful name.” I led him back home and he told my family the entire story. Before he left he told them, “you have a charming boy,” and to me he said, “I hope to meet you again soon, Akihiko-san.”. That was the first time I realized I didn’t need to be ashamed of my talent, but I should use it for good as often as possible.
