Akiko Irie is Shoichi's older sister. Along with their mother Tomoko Irie she has a minor role in the Katekyo Hitman Reborn! series, namely an appearance in the Daily Life Arc.

Character Outline[]

Appearance[]

Ch13 akiko manga

Her long dark hair is quite different to that of her brother, which she wears in pigtails. For clothing Akiko is seen wearing a sleeveless polka-dot shirt, and white capri trousers.

Personality[]

She is described as having a personality with a dry sense of humor.[1] This is displayed in sending Shoichi off to solve an issue. A merry sense of laughing was shown when she felt Shoichi had misread a situation.

Plot Overview[]

Evidently not having heard the explosion outside the apartment she lives in, Akiko is beside her mother as she asks Shoichi why he is just standing there. Checking herself, Akiko is surprised to find Lambo has crashed through the wall to their home. Unable to believe it, Akiko asks what is going on. Awaiting Shoichi to answer the door after the bell rings, Akiko finds him return with a delivery from the Bovino Famiglia.

Where Lambo was mentioned in a letter that came with the box, Akiko says how he is probably that kid. Shocked to find a bundle of cash for them, Akiko investigates the other gifts in the package before commenting how this kid's family is insane. After their mother has tasked Shoichi with returning the box, Akiko states obviously men should do the job. She adds that women are weak to prompt Shoichi to carry out the duty.

Acquiring the grenade Shoichi was holding, Akiko has concluded it is that kid's toy. After Shoichi says he does not know the address, Akiko replies it is no problem since it was in that boy's pocket. From the note Akiko does not comment on the Sawada's surname but with Reborn mentioned it is wondered whether he is a foreign landlord or something. Aware that the address is pretty close, Akiko says to Shoichi if anything happens they will come to get him.

A while later, seemingly watching tv, Akiko laughs as she overhears her mom speak to Shoichi over the phone who has seen someone sun-bathing. It is likely she heard Shoichi say that Reborn was a baby, and the impression her mother had of the household being celebrities.

Replacing her mother on the phone, Akiko informs Shoichi that it is his beloved sister speaking. Akiko adds mom said she did not understand what Shoichi was trying to say, and went shopping. Happy at feeling Shoichi has started to make some jokes, Akiko shares she is glad. With that, Akiko then shares how she has to meet up with some friends so simply bids Shoichi bye before hanging up.

By night time Akiko is at home with her mom and dad. Together, the family regard Shoichi as he sleeps. When Masatsugu questions what is wrong with Shoichi since it looks like he is having a nightmare, Akiko responds it looks like a lot happened to him.[2][3]
