Character: Hara Akiha
Series: Hanazakari No Kimitachi E (HanaKimi)
Character Age: 25
Job: Paparazzi Extraordinaire That Guy Who Takes Pictures For The Yearbook
Canon: Akiha is a sugar-addicted, overly-confident, famous world-class photographer who drives a VW Beetle half his size. He is also divorced, openly bisexual and one of his favorite pastimes consists in pouncinghuggingkissinggropingandstripping one Umeda Hokuto; former upperclasman and unrequited love interest.
Behind his cheerful (and sometimes dorky) exterior lies a romantic dedicated man who takes his job to heart, he is very observant and understanding when it comes to people (even if he won't let anyone into his heart that easily) and he can also be something of a manipulative bastard if the situation demands it. Prideful as he is, Akiha will take on any challenges issued to him.
*Note: Permission was given to mention Umeda in the app.
When they first contacted me to tell me my talented presence was required in America, I felt happy, honoured and excited all at the same time; I'd never been to Louisiana before and I've heard fabulous things about New Orleans. "This is my chance to capture all of them!" I thought. ... But... Now that I'm here, I don't know whether to feel indignated, confused or scared. ...Or all at the same time.
But swamps, gorillas and all smelly things considered, I suppose this place isn't so bad. You've got a Pie Tree! And... a Pie Tree! ...And also a Pie Tree! You'll have to understand, we don't have those back in Japan and I wonder if I can take some seeds back home, because the pie is really really good. Even though the blueberry one made my tongue all fuzzy.
Literally.
Anyway! My name is Hara Akiha, I'm a photographer and I was hired to take care of the pictures for the Yearbook project your kind Director is working on. I made it very clear that I'm a professional and I like picking the models I'm going to be working with by myself, but she made me realize that sometimes it's better to go with the flow. Change is necessary every now and then and it certainly can't hurt more than her chainsaw. You won't mind me taking a few things from the Underwear Tree, right? She let me keep my equipment, but I'm afraid the rest of my luggage was eaten by her pet... something. I was too busy running to check what it was.
So, now that I've introduced myself, why don't we start taking pictures? Since these are going to be for a Yearbook I want them to look the most natural as possible! You, kid! Yeah, you. Why don't you try shooting a toucan for me? Stay that way and don't mind the camera! Yeeees, perfect. And you over there? I'm sure you wouldn't mind standing closer to the shore? Come on! Let the tentacle embrace you, right, juuust like that. Great! Oh, and could you -- UMEDA-SEMPAI IS THAT YOU? Why didn't you tell me you were here before? Don't try to hide, Sempai I know you're there~! ♥
