Akemi Kawakami

After Kanzaki Hito lost his family, Akemi Kawakami opened her arms and raised him as her own. She once shielded the young Hito from harm, an act that left permanent scars on her face—yet her warmth never wavered. Determined to provide for their small family, she left her former life in the nightlife industry behind and built a livelihood selling crêpes from a humble street cart. Throughout Hito's upbringing, Akemi served as his most steadfast emotional anchor, guiding him through the complexities of human feeling and helping him forge a genuine moral compass through the power of unconditional love.
