When her father gave her a name, there was "Miyabi" as a candidate, but it became "Akira" with the meaning that "it is good to be bright". Her name is often mistaken for a man.
She didn't have a nickname to be called on the scene, but she decided on the nicknames "Akirarin" and "Akiran".
And one of the roles that she had so far is Miyabi Fujiwara from the original Aikatsu series, which was coincidental with her father's wish as mentioned above.
What could have been if her name was Miyabi instead.
お誕生日おめでとうございます、関根明良さん。
Happy Birthday, Akira Sekine.
Thank you so much for everything you've done for Aikatsu, as well as for voicing Miyabi in Aikatsu, and we wish you all the best in the future.
