Akira Kogami

Akira's idol persona tends to be very energetic, and her chief form of greeting is "Hiya, Luckies!" ("Oha Lucky" or "Ohayou Lucky" in Japanese), and frequently ends each episode with "Bye-ni!/Bye-nee!". The cute persona, however, is a cover-up; in reality, whenever she is annoyed or feels that her career or popularity is threatened (usually both by her assistant, Minoru Shiraishi), she immediately breaks character. For example, when Minoru once called something she said lame, she grabbed him and yelled, "Did you say something?!" Akira's bright persona is instantaneously shed to reveal a deep voiced, violent, chain-smoking, selfish-cynic of a burnt-out entertainer on the brink of becoming a has-been. However, her talents are undeniable; she has been in the entertainment business since the age of three.
