Akagami, Akemitsu

赤神明光

Akemitsu Akagami serves as the male protagonist of the manga Temple. He assists at the Mikazuki Temple in the capacity of a monk, working alongside its residents, and is the son of the infamous Akagami family.
Akemitsu once admired his father's way of life and looked up to him, until he came to understand the immorality of his father's actions. Resolved to overcome the stigma attached to the Akagami bloodline, Akemitsu strove to avoid women and concentrate on academic excellence to secure a respectable livelihood. Similarly, women label him a pervert simply for carrying the Akagami surname.
On one fateful evening, Akemitsu encountered his first love but refused to yield, which led to his decision to become a monk in order to purge himself of all impurities.
