Shikinagi Akira

Shikinagi Akira (四季凪アキラ) is a male Japanese Virtual YouTuber affiliated with NIJISANJI, debuting as part of the unit "VOLTACTION" (ヴォルタクション) alongside Fura Kanato, Watarai Hibari and Seraph Dazzlegarden. Previously, he was enrolled as a student in VIRTUAL TALENT ACADEMY (VTA) as part of its first generation.

Profile
A former spy who was born into a family of spies that have continued for generations. He is now out of the organisation and opening a small office. He undertakes everything from the extermination of beehives to the elimination of thugs.

Personality
Despite his stoic appearance, deep voice, and backstory, Akira warned viewers as early as his debut stream that he was going to destroy the cool image they had of him. As such, Akira in reality has a more laid back and silly demeanor by his own admission, though he can also get very fired up and animated during competitive games and when talking about his interests (e.g., BL). He specializes in chatting and radio streams, and is a natural conversationalist.

He has been described by others as being surprisingly childish, and has a bit of a more openly perverted and yabai side to him, even by NIJISANJI standards. Despite this, Akira is ultimately a mature and thoughtful person who is known to give good advice; in part because of his varied life experiences, he has an open-minded outlook on many issues, such as sexuality and gender expression. Though often just as wacky as the rest of them, he tends to be the sole voice of reason among the colorful cast of characters that make up VOLTACTION, and ends up having to keep the others in line at times - even if he winds up being the recipient of friendly mockery for it.

He is also quite sensitive and can get very moody and pensive, especially in the early morning hours, with this side of him being referred to as 3AM Shikinagi Akira (深夜3時の四季凪アキラ); he has even advised people not to talk to him when he's in this state as if his 3AM self were a separate entity. He is the type of person to get lonely easily, and it has been stated that he sometimes lingers in voice chat until late at night hoping someone will join him.

Appearance
Akira has short black hair with slightly long asymmetric bangs, longer on the right than the left. He has eyes that are a magenta-purple-blue gradient color, framed by black glasses. He also has the option to turn on his glasses' effects; when active, a blue digital halo and monitor overlay appear around the glasses' right lens. His right ear has two piercings, a silver cuff and a black stud. He has a characteristic pair of moles on the right side of his neck.

In his, he has a blue overcoat with black accents and ivory lining that he wears as a cape and an ivory stole fastened with a gold stole pin, both of which are removable. Under these, he wears a navy blue vest, a black waistcoat with silver patterning, and a black dress shirt with a purple gradient tie. He wears black pants with a purple belt and a black holster around his left thigh, tucked into black dress boots with gold buttons. His accessories include an ornate gold brooch, gold tie pins, and a pair of black gloves.

Identity

 * Color: #235AAA (main) purple (sub)
 * Background: Former spy.
 * Occupation: Head of a contractor agency.
 * He shares his character designer, Nozaki Tsubata, with Hiiragi Tsurugi of Neo-Porte and Kagami Kira of HOLOSTARS.

Character and Lore

 * The members of VOLTACTION were originally a group of close friends - all coming from criminal or otherwise morally ambiguous backgrounds - who attended the same boarding school, Erfolg College (エルフォルクカレッジ).
 * He and Seraph Dazzlegarden enrolled in the school as partners to carry out a long-term undercover mission for their previous employers. While they were already acquainted at that point as they had worked together prior to this, they did not meet face-to-face until becoming classmates.
 * He secretly worked as a with the ultimate goal of defecting from his family's espionage agency, something he eventually convinced Seraph to go along with as well.
 * He was an honors student and joined Erfolg College's student council alongside Fura Kanato, becoming vice-president to the latter's president - though as Seraph remarks, he probably would have preferred to have been the president himself deep down.
 * After honing their respective skills in the criminal underworld, Kanato gathered them together due to a shared desire to use these skills to instead bring happiness to people. To do so, they meet at a hidden base called the Laundry (ランドリー), and carry out missions in secret. After learning about NIJISANJI, the members decided to start streaming in addition to their activities as VOLTACTION.
 * While as a child he initially aspired to follow his parents' footsteps and live as an intelligence operative, he secretly admired the entertainers he watched on late night variety programs. He saw joining NIJISANJI as a means of making those childhood aspirations a reality.
 * He still uses some of the skills he developed as a spy as a member of VOLTACTION, primarily for intelligence gathering - for example, a near perfect ability to disguise himself as someone else. He reasons that there's no reason not to use these skills if it's for a good cause, though they are slightly rusty from disuse.
 * He describes what he did for his missions back when he was still operating as a spy as having "destroyed lives".
 * He possesses multiple fake university student ID cards that he had used for undercover infiltration missions as a spy, which he has used since becoming a contractor to peruse various campus circles, including a mahjong circle.
 * His glasses are a spy tool, and are capable of projecting images, tracking the other members' movements when combined with locating transmitters, and acting as a central communications device.
 * Like the other VOLTACTION members, he does not age.

Room 4S

 * Room 4S is a freelance agency founded by Akira, and is also a front for VOLTACTION's activities in conjunction with Fura Kanato's CAFE Zeffiro. Akira works as a contractor, hiring freelance agents (like Seraph Dazzlegarden) to fulfill requests sent to the agency. As such, he is technically Seraph's boss when employing him, though Seraph refuses to accept this and prefers to call him a middleman instead.
 * Akira's motivations for founding the agency were a desire to "fulfill the requests of people who live normal lives", to "work on behalf of people who are in distress", and to not have to hide in the shadows and instead "live where the light can reach".
 * 4S stands for Secure, Smart, Speedy, and Secret, representing the four things that the agency promises to provide to its clients.
 * The mission requests that the agency accepts are quite varied, including finding lost pets, private detective work, bodyguard work, stolen object or missing person retrieval, neutralizing assassins, among other things.
 * In order to protect clients' privacy, the primary way clients can contact the agency is by first ordering a small espresso with four sugar cubes at CAFE Zeffiro. As orders and requests are relayed through Kanato and Watarai Hibari, it can be determined if the request warrants involving VOLTACTION as a whole; requests that are simpler or don't require as much intelligence gathering are handled by Room 4S alone.
 * The agency's motto being to "undertake any request" and Seraph often seeming to be overworked in-universe have lead to a running gag that he is a terrible boss. Kanato and Hibari have jokingly accused him of being a bad boss when Seraph had to join a VOLTACTION collab late because he was out on a mission for Akira; Seraph himself has also complained about the volume of requests that Akira takes on and referred to him as his akutoku jōshi (悪徳上司, corrupt boss) after Akira summoned him to work in the middle of his 3D model debut to fulfill a sudden urgent request.
 * When shown in 3D, the Room 4S office appears to be a one-room space with a work desk and computers, a large sofa and coffee table, bookshelves, and a full kitchen.

Name

 * His surname Shikinagi is written as 四季凪, with 四季 (shiki) meaning four seasons and 凪 (nagi) meaning calm.
 * His given name Akira is a unisex Japanese name, but is more commonly given to males. It is written in katakana (アキラ), which is usually reserved for foreign names, though it can also be used for the sake of easier reading.
 * As a VIRTUAL TALENT ACADEMY (VTA) student, Akira's given name was written in kanji as 聖来, with 聖 (aki, akira) meaning sacred or holy, and 来 (ra) meaning future or upcoming. It was commonly misread as "Seira", which is a more feminine variant; Akira once used Seira as a placeholder name for a real-life alias.

 * Akira's Liver Secret File from Amamiya Kokoro, Yorumi Rena, and Matsukai Mao's Game-Lu? Game-Ru! Episode 52:
 * If you weren't a Liver, what would you be?: "A zookeeper, though I would probably become too attached to the animals and cry whenever something sad happened to them."
 * Something you really don't like to be told: "Your quips don't have a lot of variety, do they? (By Umise Yotsuha)"
 * What would put you in in a good mood all day?: "Good sleep! (9 hours preferably)"

 * What game character are you like?: "The player character in (tires quickly after running)."
 * Akira openly identifies as biromantic and bisexual.
 * His "bisexual awakening" occurred when he was 9-10 years old after watching the video for "Kagamine Len no Bōsō" (鏡音レンの暴走), though he didn't definitively realize it until he was 15-16, when he started getting into BL.
 * His ideal type when it comes to women are women who are on the taller side and women who smoke; while his ideal type when it comes to men are men who are older, taller, and good-looking.
 * He describes his perspectives on romance when he is in love with a woman as compared to when he is in love with a man as being completely different: with women he would prefer to be the one taking the lead, whereas with men, he would prefer his partner to be the one to take the lead.
 * He has a female alter ego named SeiLa, who is treated as a separate person from him. She first appeared for April Fool's Day in 2023, when she held a Marshmallow reading stream on Akira's YouTube channel, accompanied by a certain lost dog. She has since made guest appearances on Akira's streams from time to time.
 * SeiLa's name is likely derived from a feminine alternate kanji reading of the VTA era spelling of his given name Akira (聖来), Seira. Her design and illustration were provided by KUON.
 * SeiLa works as the of the bar Arc-en-SeiLa.
 * Because Akira had Twitter Blue prior to this, his Twitter icon and name became stuck as SeiLa's following April Fool's Day because of measures designed to prevent people from impersonating public figures. This lead to Akira and SeiLa arguing with each other on the account about this until Akira was finally able to switch things back on 6 April.
 * He has a younger brother.
 * He owns some pet fish, specifically a, a , and a . He is known to have temporarily taken care of his mother's tortie cat, as it has made noise on stream; his family also has a chihuahua at home.
 * He used to do ballet and tap dance when he was young, however in the present day he considers himself the worst dancer out of the four VOLTACTION members.
 * According to his debut-mates, when drunk, he gets very loud (with Seraph Dazzlegarden comparing the volume to the noise an airplane makes) and he also apparently becomes a bold-faced habitual liar - with both descriptions being confirmed by him as more or less true. His behavior is such that the other members of VOLTACTION will not allow him to drink in any setting other than a private room, and probably will never hold a drinking stream together.
 * He is an ex-smoker. While he does not smoke tobacco in the form of cigarettes anymore, he is known to indulge in and enjoy, to the point of regularly visiting shisha bars and having a home apparatus. He has even constructed a shisha bar in the NIJISANJI JP  server.
 * He crossdressed as a hobby in high school. While he has not done it recently, he is open to doing it again.

 * He regularly changes his nails, and prefers to go to a salon to get them done rather than do them himself because of the complexity of the kind of nail art he likes.
