Gushiken, Akane

具志堅あかね

Akane Gushiken was an anime-exclusive character featured in the Stars season. She served as a new star director who kept her personal life strictly private. When Rei encountered her, however, he recognized Akane as a teacher at T.A. Girls' Academy, where she went by the name Sister Angela.
Akane was directing a new musical starring the Three Lights, but she was particularly tough on Seiya, demanding more from him than from the others. She aimed to draw out Seiya's full potential, feeling frustrated because he did not perform the musical with as much heart as he did his concerts.
One evening, while he was at the studio for extra practice, Akane took a break to get coffee and was confronted there by Chuuko Nezu. Akane refused an interview, stating that she did not want her face on television and that everything she wished to say was expressed through the works she directed. Annoyed, Nezu revealed herself as Sailor Iron Mouse and removed Akane's Star Seed, transforming her into the Phage Sailor Director. After a battle against Sailor Star Fighter, Sailor Director was restored to normal by Sailor Moon.
