Akai Oniwara





Akai is the 16-year-old son of the Oni and Aois twinbrother. The source of his strengh is his hairbrush. As long as he has it with him, he is nearly invincible. His only weakness then is soy against which he is profoundly allergic. He once almost died due to an alergic shock. His pet Hikage is a cat's shadow.

Personality
Akai is a very calm and poetic coeval. He is very patient and considered. He calls himself a bookworm because reading is one of his favourite activities, right after acting in the theater himself or watching a play. He also is said to be a womanizer, ghouls love his sight and he can't save himself from date offers. Because he has the typical asian civility he tends to say yes to any date offer. But he never was in love for real yet. He also is a veggie and refuses to eat any meat.

Appearance
Akai has red skin, two black Horns on his head and a  pair of tusks in his mouth. His head is only fifty-fifty coated with shoulder-length, black curly hair. He has a bunch of black bodypiercings on his face. He has a well-toned figure even without doing any sports.

Origin
As said above, Akai is a Oni. A red oni to be more specific. Their skin may be any number of colors, but red and blue are particularly common.Oni are a  kind of Yokai from the Japanese folklore. They are popular caracters in Japanese art, literature and teathre. They are often depicted carrying iron clubs. This image leads to the expression "oni with an iron club", that is, to be invincible or undefeatable. It can also be used in the sense of "strong beyond strong",

Family
He has a twinbrother named Aoi. They both are from Shinjuku, Tokyo, where they lived together with their father, a black oni. He was attending Kōkō Yokai High until he got the opportunity to do an exchange year at Monster High. At first he didn't want to take this opportunity because he didn't want to leave his brother behind. But after he pulled some strings, Aoi was allowed to join him.

Pet
His pet  Hikage, which is Japanese for "Shadow" IS only a shadow of a cat with read eyes. Because of that she only can be around when there is enough light to cause shadow.
