Atsuko Kagari

Atsuko, more commonly known by her nickname Akko, is the main protagonist of Little Witch Academia. She is a first-generation witch from Japan and is an admirer of Shiny Chariot. Akko is a girl with average height. Her hair is long, straight, and chestnut brown in color which reaches about just below her shoulder blades in length, with matching blunt side-bangs along with a section of it tied onto a half ponytail on the back of her head. She also has large crimson eyes and slightly pale complexion. Akko is best described as an excitable, impulsive, reckless, optimistic, energetic, and short-tempered girl, which is consistent with her normally exaggerated expressions. Due to her great determination, she is always up for a challenge, even if it seems too difficult for her. As Akko is very social, kind, and truly compassionate, people are often drawn to her happy disposition. Akko has an idealized view of witches inspired by her childhood idol Shiny Chariot, which clashes with her fellow students' perception. Being a fan of Shiny Chariot, she displays a poster of her in her room, and Shiny Chariot is often idealized in her fantasies. It is worth mentioning that she is also very immersed in her own fantasies and sometimes does not account for other witches opinions. This trait is, however, less evident in the television series. This does not mean that she is a selfish and arrogant person: in the OVA, Akko realizes she almost jeopardizes her friendship with Sucy and Lotte, thus resulting in her sympathizing for what she had done.
