Shinonome Akito is a second-year student at Kamiyama High School. He is a member of the street music group Vivid BAD SQUAD.
Akito appears to be an easygoing guy at first. However, his personality drastically changes when music is involved, becoming hot-blooded and passionate to the point where people find him scary. He respects anyone who is passionate about their interest and hates half-hearted people. He acts polite towards acquaintances and strangers, but when in the presence of people he is familiar with, he drops this act, showing his true gruff personality. Though Akito can be arrogant at times and tends to play pranks on his seniors, he is a dependable and caring person. When Akito meets someone new, he puts on a charming persona, which Toya calls his "nice-guy persona" and seems to dislike. He is good at maintaining his polite facade and uses it when interacting with customers at his workplace.
Puts on a smooth, polite “customer” voice with short, careful sentences; with friends, drops it for clipped, blunt lines. Gets fired up mid-phrase, punctuates with hard emphasis, and threatens playful insults as jokes.
