Akira Yukishiro

Akira Yukishiro is a character in the Shōjo☆Kageki Revue Starlight franchise, original to Re LIVE. She is a second-year student and one of the elite students from the Music Acting Department at Siegfeld Institute of Music with the title "Frau Platin" who is said to be the most talented student in the history of the esteemed Siegfeld Institute of Music. Cool but uncompromising, she clashes frequently with those around her and usually wins out due to her overwhelming ability. Akira has waist-length silver hair. She wears two black ribbons on the sides of her head, tying up part of her hair by her ears. She has purple eyes. Akira’s school uniform consists of a cream colored blazer jacket with four golden buttons on its front and the Siegfeld school emblem on the left shoulder. The sleeve cuffs are black with a cream stripe in the center. She wears a dark grey sweater vest underneath the jacket and a white dress shirt underneath both of those. Around her neck is a purple ribbon tied into a bow with a red gemstone at its center. Her skirt is a pleated skirt with a black and grey tartan pattern. She wears grey tights and black loafers. Her casual outfit consists of a black shirt with roses and rose lace along the neckline. She also wears a light blue formal jacket, a long white skirt, and a thin black choker. Akira’s practice outfit consists of a navy blue leotard and white leggings. There is a gold pattern on the left side collar of the leotard. She wears a navy blue choker around her neck. Her Revue outfit consists of a black jacket with gold trims. There are two sets of buttons with a thick gold string connecting them, with one on her chest and one on her stomach. On the left breast she wears a blue medal. Under the jacket is a white dress shirt with a black gem under the collar. She wears a white skirt and a black belted waist cape over it. She wears thigh-high black heeled boots. Around her shoulders is a white jacket with a gold trim, a high collar, and a blue lining with gold stripe decals. The jacket has gold epaulettes with fringe, and the jacket lapels are attached to each other with gold ropes. Akira can be seen as intimidating by the students of Siegfeld. She is well-respected in the school as its top student and is often admired and looked up to. At first glance, she is quite stoic, harsh, and not very good at understanding other people’s feelings. However, this is rooted in her profound passion for acting and theater. As such, she values loyalty and dedication towards the stage above anything else. She disdains people who take on challenges with a clear knowledge of its risks and sacrifices only for them to not honor their word. This was shown in the Stranded Stage Girls event where she lashed out at former Edel Fumi Yumeoji for her “betrayal” of Siegfeld — and of Akira herself. Unbeknownst to others, Akira maintains a composed and resolute act in order to match the expectations of the people around her, especially as she bears the title of “Frau Platin”. Beneath her harsh exterior, she is actually quite caring and perceptive, seen in her ability to spot stage girls with potential such as the timid Shiori Yumeoji, and in how she reaches out to those who are shunned for their passion and interests such as Yachiyo Tsuruhime’s proclivity for make-believe. Akira is not one to rest on her laurels and acknowledges those who relentlessly work to go above and beyond her expectations. Due to this, she also places extremely high standards upon herself. She refuses to tolerate half-hearted efforts from her peers and would firmly reprimand them for not giving something their all, encouraging them to aim higher and realize their true potential. Moreover, as leader of the Edels, Akira always strives to set an example for her fellow stage girls. This makes her prone to self-sacrifice for their sake, such as when she went without eating in Stranded Stage Girls because "It's only natural for those who do the work to get the food."
