Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
Forget any Foe Yay that might be between Tetsuo and Kaneda-- Akira has Ho Yay from Kaisuke (Kai in the anime), a high-ranking member of the Capsules. When reunited with Kaneda after thinking that he had died, Kai grabs his soldiers and begins to cry, embracing him and saying how glad he is that he's alive. The manga plays this scene for laughs after the second destruction, where he intercepts a hug that Kaneda meant to give Kei. Kaneda has his eyes closed and relishes the moment thinks he's hugging Kei, and when he realizes the two freak out with playful name-calling and shockedly asking if they were really alive. Kaisuke starts crying and yells that he was really worried about him. This is notable in that this is enough to make most Fanon say that Kaisuke's actually gay, considering he's a rather effeminate, tie-wearing, smartly dressed Bishonen who is probably the most sensitive of the gang members. [1]
He's also the only member of the gang who is shown without any girlfriend - all the others apparently have a girlfriend at some point in the manga or the anime.
In the anime he appears to have a crush on Yamagata more than Kaneda, showing considerable emotion when he gets killed.
↑(he is seen both giving Kaori his jacket to wear and also prays over a corpse for the person to "rest in peace", something rare in their Crapsack World.
