Ok this is a year old character (when Naruto first came out in the US) Yes, she is another Sakura lol XDD but a kind of different one as Akiko is more open and speaks her mind more than Sakura does. Yes Akiko is a Sasuke fangirl lolz but isn't all "OMFG SASUKE!!!! :B!!" She is more quiet but does try to get his attention through ninjutsu. And of course Akiko is more talented in Ninjutsu and Taijutsu than Sakura is in Prt 1. Um as far as a rival, I'd have to say Sakura is going to be her rival (yes I am making a fan manga...SOME POINT TIME when I have all of my characters refined the new storyline finished and blah blah...etc). Er for Ino...she really thinks Ino should cool it on the "I'm so pretty.." AS Akiko is more of a tomboy than Sakura and Ino. She still holds girly qualities of course!! She care about her looks now and then but for the most part she could care less is she had her clothes ruined LOL. Um oh yea and another thing alike to her and Sakura is the hair except One longer bang and it's colored and tied. I should shut up XD lol but one last thing, her clothes um. Not sure about it being the final design as this is kinda basic but I think the overall construct is good for Akiko. So yea Part 2 comming up!
