Akari is a woman drawn into an Otsutsuki cult after a plague swept her village, sparing only her and her brother Kagari. Recruited by Boro on hollow promises, she spends three years cut off from Kagari before Konoha ninja arrive carrying the truth of his fate.
Akari is an adult woman and one of the followers living within Boro's Otsutsuki cult.
Akari is tender and easily shaken, her feelings tied closely to her missing brother. When she is pressed about where Kagari has gone she grows visibly anxious, and the confirmation of his death leaves her stunned and emotionally broken.
Years earlier a plague known as the Dark Cloud tears through Akari's village, leaving only her and her brother Kagari alive. Boro approaches the pair and lures them into his cult with false promises, and before long Kagari is picked to commune directly with the gods. Akari keeps receiving her brother's letters until they abruptly stop, and for three years she is left in the dark about what became of him. When Konohamaru Sarutobi and Sai reach Boro's base during the Kawaki Arc, she guides them inside; questioned about Kagari, she begins to fret, and in the auditorium the data file Konohamaru holds finally reveals that her brother is dead, a truth that shatters her just before Delta's attack disintegrates the surrounding area.

We ranked the six most popular women of Naruto from worst to first, and our number one is going to start a fight. The official poll got it wrong....

The transformation everyone knows, the follow-up question nobody would touch. Why we made a smooth R&B track about the golden glow Dragon Ball never talks about....
