Akio
Yokai villager inspired by the Hero
Akio’s wish to become strong is rooted in protecting the people he loves. Orphaned during a Chaos attack in Yokai, he found safety with his aunt Hasu and uncle Mahou, and inspiration in the Hero’s kindness. His later stand beside the Hero against Infernal invaders ends when a Nether Warlock strikes him, leaving Mahou holding his body. Hasu remembers that determination in a life repeatedly touched by grief.
