My name is Akira, and I am a new member of the REJECT fighting game division. I live in Hiroshima and mainly play Street Fighter and KOF series. When I was invited to join REJECT, I decided to quit my job and become a full-time professional gamer. I will do my best to become a man worthy of carrying the REJECT signboard as soon as possible, and I hope that you will warmly watch over me! I will do my best to win the SFL championship, so please give me your support!

With a beautiful smile on his face, Akira answers questions such as "What is your motto in life? What is your motto in life? and other 74 questions with a nice smile on his face.
