About Takeomi Akashi
Takeomi Akashi is Brahman's second-in-command, feared under the name God of War. A founding figure of the First Generation Black Dragon alongside Shinichiro Sano, he carries the authority of the old delinquent era into the Three Titans war. He is also Senju's older brother, and Haruchiyo Sanzu's, which makes Brahman's leadership a family affair, and the Akashi family's buried history one of the final arc's most important threads.
Appearance
Takeomi is a lean, sharp-featured man in his late twenties with a smoker's ease and a veteran's eyes. He dresses in Brahman's uniform with none of the younger members' flair, and his calm is the calm of someone who has survived the era everyone else only tells stories about. A scarred, unhurried presence, the adult in every room he enters.
Personality
Takeomi is pragmatic, cynical and quietly protective. As a founder of the first Black Dragon he has watched two generations of delinquents repeat the same mistakes, and it has made him a realist: he plans for loss, negotiates from strength, and keeps his emotions behind strategy. His soft spot is family, the little sister he put on Brahman's throne and the brother he lost to Mikey's side.
Background & Story
Takeomi Akashi was a founding figure of the First Generation Black Dragon alongside Shinichiro Sano, remembered from that era as the God of War. When the delinquent world re-formed into the Three Titans, Takeomi helped build Brahman from the first generation's legends and placed his younger sister Senju at its head, serving as her No. 2. He is also the eldest brother of Haruchiyo Sanzu, now an executive of the enemy Kanto Manji Gang, so Brahman's command is, for Takeomi, family business conducted under war conditions.
Key Relationships
- Senju Kawaragi: His younger sister, whom he placed at Brahman's head and serves as second-in-command, his protection of her is part strategy, part plain brotherly love.
- Haruchiyo Sanzu: His younger brother, lost to Mikey's Kanto Manji Gang, the family's deepest fracture, fought out across the Three Titans war.
- Wakasa Imaushi: A fellow legend of the first Black Dragon generation, now Brahman's executive beside him.
