Akari Kawamoto

Akari Kawamoto (川本 あかり Kawamoto Akari) is a resident of Sangatsu-chō. She is the eldest of three sisters. After her mother died, she subsequently took care of 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, Misaki, 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 sisters. She is a very kind and caring person. She is shown to really like helping her family business. Akari also revealed very good at knowing people's feelings and past, as she was aware of Rei's dark past and his involvement with his foster family. After learning about them, she decided to protect Rei when he was confronted by his foster sister. It is shown that Akari doesn't have any hatred to Kyouko and Gouda, but she was angry and aggressive when Kyouko tried manipulating or mocking him. She has a tendency to take care of animals she finds in poor shape and nurse them back to health. As her sister Hina notes, 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.
