Akira Miyazaki

Biography
In "Elemental Equilibrium" it was revealed that Akira left grammar school for art school at an early age because he preferred art over mathematics and was overly smart, even smarter than other students put together.

Akira is the husband of Rin, the father of Noriyuki and Malia, the father-in-law of Koji, Tatsu and Omami Kurosawa, and the grandfather of Suki, Yuko, Joe, Hiroshi, Kumiko, Kai, Yumi, and Lea.

Appearance
He is a thin man with tanned skin, black eyebrows, brown eyes, and gray hairs at the sides and back of his head. He wears a simple white Hadajuban, Susoyoke, and Fundoshi, all under a black Kimono, a black crested Haori over that, a black Obi around his waist and a loose white Hakama, a pair of white cotton Tabi, and a pair of wooden Geta.

Personality
Akira appears to be a very caring father and grandfather and is happy whenever his family comes over. He is very impressed with Joe's ideas for artistry and is more than happy to teach Joe traditional artistry anyday. He likes meditation and encourages everyone in his family to do it more often.

Akira is also very patient and wise because he has learned from his mistakes of his own past, like when he recalls getting into a fight with a gang of boys for making fun of him just for being different, by saying it is unwise to fight back when being bullied for any reason or no reason. He also believed that Ronnie transformed into a rat.
