Series: Disgaea 2, Disgaea 2 manga
Version: The game one
Age: 2188
Gender: Male
Sexuality: All about the ladies
Appearance: Akutare is fairly skinny, a fact made all the more apparent by his lack of shirt. He has a boyish face, framed by short, blond hair spiked slightly in back. His eyebrows are quite prominent, being shaped like lightning bolts and a completely different color than his hair (purple). Given pictures of his younger siblings, this is apparently natural. His eyes are a pinkish-purple color, and his pointed ears are pierced twice.

Akutare likes to keep up a “rock star” image. He wears a long, white coat with purple inside. It has a long collar, extending up past his head, a slit near the beginning of the sleeves, purple buttons going up the sleeves, and chains around the wrists. Around his neck is a gold medallion with an “A” etched into it. Akutare also wears a pair of tight, low-cut, purple jeans with a white belt and white boots with purple soles.

Personality: Akutare has adopted the role of the Dark Hero to his personality. In his mind, he is a chick magnet, superstar, and all around awesome guy, and he’s determined to show everyone else just why. He loves attention and will do just about anything to get it, showing off to whoever happens to be around. Of course, everyone will appreciate it, because he’s the Dark Hero. He’s a star, you know. With a million fangirls. All waiting for him. In a hot tub.

Which is to say, Akutare has a habit of stretching the truth to fit his fantasies. He has an image to keep up, and that image is one of his most important possessions, to the point where he will sometimes become completely wrapped up in it. He is, however, capable of tossing that image aside to do the right thing (because deep down, he really is a good person). He is absolutely devoted to his family and will do anything for them.


Abilities/Weaponry: Akutare is very acrobatic, able to perform flips with ease. He is also a talented singer and guitarist, enough that he was a rock star as well as a movie star. This guitar, a large, angular, purple and white one, is one of Akutare’s greatest allies in battle, as he can channel electricity through it and use it in attacks.

With Shocking Soul, Akutare leaps into the air, coming down while striking a chord on his guitar and spreading four bolts of lightning a fair distance from himself once he hits the ground.

My Heart Shakes seems like a joke of a move at first. Akutare just sits there, playing his guitar while running around in circles (I don’t think the improbable wire from nowhere will be able to make its appearance in Paixao) before he rushes forward and delivers a relatively weak punch in the face. However, as the opponent sits there wondering what’s going on, a sudden explosion occurs (surpraiz pyrotechnics), which does the real damage.

Love Dynamite makes full use of Akutare’s guitar. He plays out a guitar solo (mostly for show) before lightning bolts strike down, setting off a large explosion.

And aside from the skills Akutare has with his guitar, he is capable of some hand-to-hand combat.

Weaknesses: Akutare’s fame is his biggest weakness. He will do just about anything to achieve it, and will do just about anything to keep it, even putting himself within the realm of possibly receiving bodily harm for his efforts. If he can get some good shots of himself in, who cares if he receives a few cuts, bumps, and bruises? And who cares about the truth when you can throw in a few super cool action scenes?

Beyond that, he’s a coward, and will run away once things start to get too hairy.

Beyond beyond that, Akutare can be rather gullible and isn’t the brightest bulb in the lamp.

He really isn’t very powerful, either. His hand-to-hand skills are okay, likely aided by his demon strength, but he’d probably bested by someone more skilled than he. As dangerous as his guitar skills have the potential of being, they suffer the problem of being extremely show-offy and it’s likely that he’ll be interrupted in the middle of them.


History: It isn’t known exactly when, but Akutare became a star. A big star, with movies and concerts, and TV shows, and everything. He sent the money he received home to his family (consisting of his mother, his little brothers, two baby twins and a Hellcat), being the sole source of money for the family.

However, as time passes, fame fades, and Akutare had to resort to a second-rate travel show, “Tripping with Akutare” (“Tripping with Axel”) to stay on TV. He happened to be filming his show on Veldime around the same time that Adell, a boy with a grudge against Overlord Zenon happened by. Rozalin, Zenon’s daughter, told Adell that Akutare was Zenon, and Adell proceeded to beat the ever loving crap out of the former star.

That was when Akutare’s life took a downhill plunge. The TV network pronounced the Dark Hero dead, despite the fact that the demon was very much alive.

He took to living in the ruins of the palace that Rozalin had lived most of her life in. This, however, only lasted a day, as Adell and Rozalin happened to wander by at that point. Akutare learned of Rozalin’s heritage, and began his first attempt to prove he wasn’t dead: fighting Adell… again. Obviously, this didn’t turn out so well, and he was dragged off again, defeated but with some good shots of the fight.


Akutare’s second attempt to prove he wasn’t dead came when he kidnapped Adell’s little brother and sister (by bribing them with candy), challenging Adell to come to the Dallos River in order to get them back. He asked for Rozalin (and allowing Akutare to beat Adell up) in exchange for the two children, but he was soundly beaten for his efforts once again. He still had his secret plan to edit the footage in tact, but that was pretty much stopped in its tracks the moment one of the kids—Taro—fell into the river.

And that was definitely not as planned. Akutare did not mean for that to happen and never even came close to wanting it to happen. So… he took a cab (on the top of a mountain… I kid you not) to the cave that Taro had been washed down to and saved the boy’s life. Right afterwards, he was set upon by Cu Siths and had to be saved by Adell and company. This time, however, he paid back the favor, using the demon summoning flute the group had dropped to guide a powerful demon away from them.

Akutare then got a job as the MC of a tournament that Overlord Zenon was holding, fighting Adell and company in the final round (according to his own bias and judgment, he won the semifinal, despite not being in the actual tournament at all). Once again, this fight was just a set up to get some good shots of Akutare fighting, but the film in the camera ran out, thus ruining his chances of that.

By this point, Adell just felt sorry for the demon, and decided to drag him and his crew along while they went to meet Overlord Zenon. The second Zenon began to threaten the party, Akutare, the Director, and Zombie Cameraman dashed off to get out of the way.

Then Etna appeared, challenging Overlord Zenon to a battle, starting up the fight while Adell and company escaped. She ended up defeating Zenon.

Best of all? It was all caught on tape. Akutare was juuuust about to send this tape in to the network when he was pulled away.
