Takeomi Akashi

Takeomi Akashi is a founding member and the former first-generation Vice President of the Black Dragon. He is currently the Vice President of Brahman.

Appearance
Akashi is lanky and tall. His hair is black with streaks of white on his temples. He is never seen without a cigarette, indicating that he is a chronic smoker. His prominent feature is a long scar running vertically down his right face.

As Brahman's second in command, he wears a fancier version of the gang's uniform.

As Bonten's advisor, he wears a business casual suit.

Personality
He seems to be a serious and silent individual. In addition, he is a smoker, always seen with a cigarette. Akashi does not lose his composure even in the face of danger.

He does not take lightly to slander, seen by his threatening expression when Kakucho Hitto brings up Shinichiro Sano (although Kakucho only brings up Shinichiro because Takeomi mentioned Izana Kurokawa).

Skills and Abilities
Although Takeomi has not engaged in many battles over the course of the series, he has showcased and been commended for great feats of strength, speed, and reaction. His nickname "The God of War," along with his positions as an advisor in Bonten, the Vice President of Brahman, and the former Vice President and founding member of Black Dragon, imply that he is an extremely formidable fighter, possibly even greater than the likes of Keizo Arashi and Wakasa Imaushi.
