Full Name: Akito Sohma
Nicknames: Aki
Age: 19
Height: ??
Weight: ??
Gender: Female (Though she looks like a male and hates females)

Alliance: Neutral, banking on Evil
Home: Japan
Franchise: Fruits Basket
Physical Description: Because Akito was raised to be male, she looks exactly like a guy with short wavy black hair and cold onyx eyes. She wears a black long sleeved shirt with black pants that look like they could match her shirt and seem to join up with her shirt in a manga picture. Like L Lawliet, she doesn't like wearing shoes, but will wear formal black shoes when going out to public places like the school Tohru, Yuki, and Kyo goes too. Many people believe she really is a male.
Weapons: Anything she can get her hands on, including her own hands and feet.
Abilities/Powers: She can control the cursed members of the Sohma Family
Skills: Intimidating her breatheren and scaring off outsiders.
Personality: Akito, having been abandoned and hated by her mother, doesn't want to be alone. Because of that, she turned into a very violent, emotional person. Whenever something or someone threatens to take away her friends, she reacts angrily and quickly. Her fear of being alone and of change has shrouded her in darkness and she pushes her family around because of it, trying to make them act the way she wants them to act.
History: For the first two volumes of the series, Akito is only mentioned in conversations by the Sohma family, or in brief flashbacks, all of which give a vague, foreboding image of the mysterious "head of the family." (For example, in chapter two, Yuki recalls Akito telling him as a child that if anyone ever found out he turned into a rat, they'd think he was a freak and abandon him.) Also mentioned several times in the first two volumes is that no one in the Sohma family --- specifically, the Juunishi --- can go against any of Akito's orders. It is later revealed in volume 11 that Akito is possessed of the Zodiac's god-spirit, and therefore, all the cursed Sohmas have to obey her every word, no matter what.
Ever since chapter two, it had been hinted at that both Akito and Shigure were scheming something that involved Tohru, which was why she was allowed to keep her memories and live with the Sohmas. While it was eventually revealed that Akito and Shigure had different, separate reasons for allowing Tohru to grow closer to the Sohmas, Akito's own motive was fully explained in chapter 117. A while before the beginning of the manga's time-line, Yuki had left the Main House to live with Shigure. At that time, Akito's mother, Ren, commented that it seemed as if everyone was abandoning her, just like she had always predicted they would. Akito denied this, arguing that the Juunishi would come back to her in the end, since they were all connected by the inseparable Zodiac bonds. Ren, however, challenged Akito to prove this to her, saying that if Akito allowed the Juunishi to stray from her, and to form other bonds with "outsiders," and they abandoned her, then Akito would have to bow down before Ren and leave the Sohmas forever; on the other hand, if the Juunishi still returned to Akito's side after going out into the world, then Akito would win. Soon after this bet was made, Shigure approached Akito about allowing Tohru stay with him, Yuki, and Kyo. Akito, confident that she would win against Ren, consented to this. Since Akito believed that the world was a cruel, bleak place in which unconditional love did not exist outside of the Zodiac bonds, she also believed that Tohru would eventually end up rejecting the Juunishi; thus, she was certain that Yuki and the others would end up heart-broken by the world, and would return to her side forever.
In chapter 10, when Tohru visited the Sohma estate for the first time, she learned from Momiji that Hatori was nearly blind in his left eye, because years before, he'd asked Akito permission to marry a woman he loved named Kana; Akito had flown into a frenzy of rage, accidentally injuring Hatori's eye, and blaming it on Kana, who never recovered from the shock of the accident; instead, Kana accepted Akito's blame and guiltily agonized over the incident, growing ill, until Akito convinced Hatori to erase Kana's memories of her love for him. In chapter 97, it is made clear that Akito reacted so horribly to the idea of being "replaced" in Hatori's heart at the time because, when she was just a child, Kureno's curse/bond had broken for unknown reasons. Since that day, Akito --- fearing that allowing any of the Juunishi to form "other bonds" with outsiders would break the rest of the curse and bonds --- kept the Juunishi on a tight leash, and instilled in them doubt and self-hatred to make certain that they would never leave her. (In one of Yuki's childhood flashbacks in chapter 84, he remembered the day when Akito first "snapped," painted the walls of her room black, and locked Yuki away in a dark room. It is assumed, from further flashbacks of Kureno's in chapter 97, that Akito's mini-mental breakdown was a result of his curse breaking around the same time.)
Tohru first caught a glimpse of Akito watching her from a window in chapter 10; however, it is not until chapter 20 that Akito first made her official debut in the manga. Akito visited Tohru, Kyo, and Yuki's school for the day, and approached Tohru alone; she called Tohru "a cute girl" and kindly asked her to take good care of her family. At first, Tohru was shocked at Akito's friendly attitude and sunny smile, wondering if she was meeting the same person who'd almost blinded Hatori. However, Tohru soon realized that Akito's polite air was an act, as Akito's eyes belied her thinly-veiled hatred. When Yuki later appeared, Akito chastised him for skipping the family's New Years banquet, and threatened to lock Yuki away in the dark room of his childhood again to teach him a lesson. Tohru, sensing Yuki's fear, physically pushed Akito away, who, although quite shocked, left soon after without much of a fuss. As Shigure later relayed to Hatori that, on the car ride home, Akito spoke of how "ugly" and less-than-clever Tohru was, boasting that Yuki would surely come back to her in the end.
In chapter 120, it was revealed that Akito had always been lonely and afraid of change. The reason that she clung so desperately to the bonds that existed between her and the Juunishi was that she feared that, without them, she would be all alone, and her existence meaningless, just as her mother had always claimed. This revelation occurred after both Momiji's and Hiro's curses broke. With the bonds falling apart, Akito --- after having wrongfully stabbed Kureno in the back --- ran away from the Sohma estate, wondering if everything really was all her fault, and why her world (the curse and the bonds) was collapsing around her so suddenly. Desperate and looking for someone to blame, Akito suddenly realized that the Juunishi had been slowly but surely leaving her ever since Tohru had appeared in their lives. Akito then walked by herself all the way to Shigure's home, finding Tohru alone outside. Akito commented that Tohru must be happy, because she had "won" over her, and had, in the process, destroyed the only life she'd known. Akito then threatened Tohru with a knife; but Tohru, realizing how both she and Akito had been trying to hold onto an "unchanging" reality (Akito clinging to the eternal bonds of the Zodiac; Tohru wanting her mother to always be first in her heart), told Akito that she understood how scary it is to be alone, and instead offered her hand in friendship. Before Akito could accept, the unstable cliff ground collapsed and Tohru fell, while Akito screamed for help. (In the first volume of the series, just after a landslide destroyed Tohru's tent, Shigure warned her that the ground around the area was unstable and due to collapse again one day.)
When Tohru (who recovered at the hospital) was finally allowed visitors beyond her immediate family, Akito was surprisingly one of the first to visit (and even more surprisingly, according to Hatori and Shigure, she went alone and entirely on her own accord). Fearful that she would be rejected by Tohru and Kureno (both of whom she'd hurt, emotionally and physically), Akito was told a comforting story by Momiji, who also offered advice that made it possible for Akito to see Tohru and Kureno for who they really are: People whose kindness for others overrides their ability to be concerned about themselves. With that in mind, she finally went to see Tohru, who offered her hand (despite the fact her arm is injured) to Akito in friendship again, which she accepted with a small smile. Akito also visited Kureno in the hospital, whom she had stabbed in the back (chapter 118); Kureno, however, didn't blame Akito for her actions, and forgave her when she cried and apologized to him repeatedly for smothering him all of the years she'd kept him with her. From there on out, Akito decided to try to change rather than cling to being "God," and to the memory of her father and what he had wanted her to be (chapter 132).
Towards the end of the manga, after Kureno left to live in the country with Arisa Uotani, and the curse was broken, Akito and Shigure finally confessed their true feelings for each other and reconciled. Akito stopped dressing as a male, and in her last meeting with all the formerly cursed Sohmas, she wore a female kimono (possibly a furisode), and donned a flower in her hair, something that shocked the younger Sohmas, who had just learned of Akito's true gender.
The last time she was seen in the manga, Akito had let her hair grow a little past her shoulders, and wore a dress (chapter 136).
Other: This is "Evil Akito" despite the history. Even though the manga states that Akito is a girl, the anime made Akito a guy, so don't be surprised when Akito looks like a male in the pics that shall be shown.

Roses add to the personality that Akito holds in the anime.
He looks like the opposite of the men in white coats.
