Edit
Sometimes nicknamed Akarin, Akari is supposedly the main protagonist of Yuru Yuri. However, as she is an ordinary person and often pales in comparison to the other characters, she is often bantered with her small presence and pushed into the background. Her friends often peg her character as having the ability to turn invisible and fire her 'hair buns' like missiles.
Toshinou Kyouko and Funami Yui are her childhood friends, while Yoshikawa Chinatsu, Oomuro Sakurako and Furutani Himawari are some of her classmates.
