Appearance

Personality
He and his fellow orphans share a tight bond with the woman they call Mama, and the children will plant themselves in front of her to shield her whenever pirates pose a threat.
History
Once Michael and Hoichael halted Mama's attack on Zoro, Akihiro and the other children emerged from hiding to greet their new big brother. They brought him back to their home, where he pitched in with the chores. A shopping trip turned dangerous when loansharks abducted the woman and her family, hauling them onto a rooftop to face Mikazuki, but Hoichael fetched Zoro and the captives were rescued. Back at the house they said goodbye to their eldest brother, only for a forgotten shirt, washed after a baby soiled it, to send Akihiro and the others racing after Zoro through the streets while he, assuming they wanted him to stay, simply kept running.
