Backstory: Akira was raised in the small town of Oboro, where he hatched from one of his mother’s eggs. Unlike most Inklings, Akira had a strange fascination with water, and dreamed of being able to swim in it. The other Inklings made fun of him, saying that Inklings dissolve in water. However, his mother told him that if he believes in himself, he can do anything. So when he turned 14 and gained the ability to shapeshift between squid form and humanoid form, Akira taught himself how to swim in water while in humanoid form. After having to respawn 6 times, Akira managed to swim all the way across the lake on the outskirts of town. Thus, Akira became the first Inkling with the ability to swim in water while in humanoid form. Upon witnessing Akira achieve the impossible, the other Inklings started treating him with respect for surpassing the limits of Inklings. Having achieved his dream, Akira decided to set himself a new goal – becoming the best Turf War player in the world. So when he and his family moved to Inkopolis after his father got a new job on Saltspray Rig, Akira joined the National Turf War League, hoping to become the freshest squid in town.
When Akira started playing Turf War, both his teammates and the opposing team looked down on him for being a newcomer. However, his teammates quickly discovered that Akira was a natural at Turf War, which the other team learned the hard way. Akira soon reached level 10, making him eligible for Ranked Battle. While he normally used the Splattershot Pro, Akira often switched to the Krak-On Splat Roller whenever he wanted to get up close and personal. Eventually, he not only reached S+ Rank, but also level 20, and became known as “The King of Squid Style”.
While playing Turf War, Akira went to Inkopolis High School. There, he met a beautiful girl named Callie and immediately fell in love with her. To win Callie’s heart, Akira painted a picture of her using her favorite weapon, the Splat Roller. His plan worked perfectly – Callie was so impressed with Akira’s painting that she fell head over heels for him. A few days later, Akira met Callie’s cousin Marie, who wasn’t very fond of Callie’s new boyfriend until she saw his battling skills firsthand. Akira asked Callie to join his new team, and she eagerly accepted. Reluctantly, Marie decided to join Akira’s team as well. Akira and Callie went on many dates together, and in Turf War and Ranked Battle they fought side by side.
When Akira was a child, his father told him stories about the Great Turf War. He told Akira about the exploits of Cap’n Cuttlefish, leader of the legendary Squidbeak Splatoon, who drove the Octarians out of the Inklings’ territory. Akira idolized Cuttlefish and wanted to be a hero just like him. Then, after moving to Inkopolis, Akira got his wish. One day, he saw a weird old man pop out of a manhole near Inkopolis Tower. When Akira approached the old man, he went into the manhole and seemingly vanished. Curious, Akira decided to follow him down the manhole by turning into a squid. He was expecting the manhole to lead to the sewers of Inkopolis, but that was not the case. Instead, Akira ended up in Octo Valley, home of the Octarians. There, he discovered that the old man was none other than Cap’n Cuttlefish, who was assembling a new team of heroes called the New Squidbeak Splatoon in order to defend Inkopolis from the Octarians. Akira was overjoyed to finally meet his hero, so he joined the New Squidbeak Splatoon without hesistation. Since there already was an Agent 1 and an Agent 2, Akira designated himself as Agent 0, which to him sounded much cooler than “Agent 3”. However, when Akira met Agent 1 and Agent 2, he immediately figured out that they were actually Callie and Marie due to their unique hair colors and hairstyles. When Akira asked them how they knew Cap’n Cuttlefish, he was shocked to learn that Cuttlefish was their grandfather. Nevertheless, Akira was more than happy to help Cuttlefish and his granddaughters keep the Octarians at bay.
Two years after reaching S+ Rank, Akira found himself a rival in a young boy named Hiro Ikasaki. At first, he dismissed Hiro as a clueless rookie who could never be as fresh as him. However, after losing his first match in two years to Hiro, Akira acknowledged his skills and became his best friend. Also, since he excelled in all of his subjects, Akira was able to graduate high school at age 16. Now he works as a video game designer at Ancho-V Games, in addition to playing Turf War. He was also invited by Deco to test out a prototype version of a new weapon called the Heavy Splatling. Akira enjoyed the new weapon so much that Deco not only paid him 5,000 Cash, but they also sent him the finished product before it even came out. With this new weapon, Akira improved tremendously, and he used the Cash to buy himself a black motorcycle which he adorned with purple paint splatters. Meanwhile, his girlfriend Callie became a famous pop star alongside her cousin Marie, forming the one and only Squid Sisters. Although they try to keep their relationship a secret in order to avoid drawing too much attention, Akira and Callie drop a few subtle hints that they’re dating, such as Akira mentioning that he already has a girlfriend whenever some other girl flirts with him. Akira still fights the Octarians as Agent 0, and rushes to the aid of Agents 1 and 2 when they’re in danger. However, before stealing the Great Zapfish, the Octarians kidnapped Akira’s pet Zapfish, Rai, and Akira took it personally. But, little does he know that a new hero will soon join the ranks… a hero named Agent 3.
