Akeno wore a kimono with a white obi strap. Over this, she wore an incredibly long haori with multiple thin overlapping crescent moons with polka-dots above them, reaching past her bare feet being dragged along the floor.

Personality

Akeno was described as a very religious and kind woman, always praying to the god of the sun for little to no disaster in the world along with her constantly worrying for Yoriichi and Michikatsu. Despite her protective constitution, she doesn't complain to being helped as seen when Yoriichi as child would always support and carry her impaired side due to her terminal sickness.

• The Sun deity that she prays to everyday is more than likely the Shintō deity Amaterasu Ōmikami, since during the Sengoku Era, multiple clans prayed to the gods for good fortune during warfare.
