Akebono, Akira

曙アキラ

Akira aspires to become the Greatest Commander of Battle Robots and to win the Titan Belt, a prestigious honor. On the night before his Commander registration, he dreams of winning the Titan Belt. The following day, he and his team, Team Akira, resolve that they will defeat the opposing team in the Commander registration match at any cost.
Unfortunately, they need at least four robots to compete, but they have only three. Somehow, he manages to enter. When he is losing, his Grandpa sends him his fourth robot, Daigunder. After the match, Daigunder transforms into his mini-form, Ryuga. They both start fighting over who performed better and turn out to be bitter enemies. But as the series progresses, they turn out to be best friends.
Akira is a kind and courageous boy. If he sees any of his robots in danger, he jumps into the middle of the fight without a second thought. Akira and Ryuga's partnership is admirable throughout the series. When Daigunder was controlled by Dragon Buster to destroy Akira, he risked his life to save Daigunder.
