Usami, Akihiko

宇佐見秋彦

Usami Akihiko is a 28-year-old author. He grew up in England until the age of 10, after which he moved to Japan. He graduated top of his class from law school and is the youngest recipient of the Naomori Award.
He was a pure-hearted romanticist, as Takahashi Misaki, his love interest, says.
His books are extremely popular, but he also writes erotic (BL) Yaoi fiction under the pen name Akikawa Yayoi because it allows him to earn money on his fantasies. He works for Marukawa Publishing Co., and to his editors, he is known as a writer who doesn't meet deadlines. He comes from a rich and wealthy family and has a half-brother named Haruhiko. He first met Hiroki Kamijou in Japan in his secret base. He was a loner back then and always wanted to be alone. He also doesn't talk much because of his family circumstances.
Akihiko always wanted to have a normal life. He collects toys because it makes him feel like this is what "normal childhood" feels like. He named all his teddy bears Suzuki because to him it is the most common name in Japan. (It isn't.)
His nickname is "Usagi", which means "rabbit" in Japanese. Usagi has been Misaki's brother's best friend for over ten years, and was secretly in love with Misaki’s brother but never said anything about it. Due to Misaki's grade, Takahiro asks Usagi to become Misaki's tutor and assist him in raising his grades for the college entrance exams. Due to some twist of fate, Takahiro’s company transfers him away and, worried about the becoming of his little brother, Takahiro asks Usagi for Misaki to stay and live with him until he comes back or until Misaki can come live with him in Osaka.
