Akari Kawamoto

Akari Kawamoto (川本 あかり Kawamoto Akari) is a resident of Sangatsu-chō. She is the eldest of the three sisters. After her mother died, she subsequently took care of her two younger sisters. In the mornings, she helps her elderly grandfather run a traditional wagashi (Japanese confectionery) shop, Mikazuki-dō, while in the evenings, she works as a hostess for a bar in Ginza which her aunt manages.

Appearance
Akari wears dresses like these while working at Mikako's Ginza Bar. Along with a hairstyle change, this completely changes her image compared to when she's at home.

Personality
After her mother and grandmother died due to an illness, she decided to take care at home and act like a mother figure to her siblings. She is a very kind and caring person. She is shown to really like helping her family business. She encounters Rei in pretty much the same fashion, with him being the first time she's "brought a person back home." Finding Rei in a drunk state after being forced to drink by a bitter opponent that abandoned him afterward, Akari brings him into their home to recover, and it is at that point where Akari and the rest of her family are formally acquainted with Rei.
