Akemi Izumi

Face-up artist(s):

overlordu (Hearts Murmur)

Date of acquisition:

Jan.12.2008

Provenance:

Both his head and body were purchased on DoA forever ago.

Reason for choice:

My wife's first doll was a Moon, and we kept trying and failing to find him a suitable companion. Meanwhile, a friend of ours had ridiculously attractive Moon twins, and I began to fall in love with the versatility of dreaming sculpts. We hunted this guy down on the marketplace soon after.

Best Points:

EVERYTHING. Look at him! There's something so charming about these skinny Delf boys. He always reminds me of my early days in the hobby, because he's the only doll from back then I never wanted to reshell. He's too perfect!

Worst Points:

Those CP knees like to drop him. If he's standing in a photograph, he's in a stand to protect his pretty face from the ground rushing up to meet it.

Eyes:

18mm Leeke glass, I think. Can't really see them.

Wig:

Monique Yuri in black or Crobidoll in natural black

Favourite colours:

Red and black.

Fashion style(s):

Casual mostly, he likes to be comfortable. Sometimes he goes all Asian fusion or just puts on a yukata because whyyy not?

Key fashion accessory:

His stompy boots.

Name story:

Taira existed as a character a long time before we got his brother Akemi, so Izumi was already his surname. I chose Akemi from a baby names website. His full name is written as 泉曙覧 in kanji.

Character age:

Eternally 29.

Character gender:

Male

Offsite roleplay:

This doll's character is not available for offsite roleplay.

Akemi loves people and has an absurd and often dark sense of humor. He also loves to cook, and is happy to ply friends and neighbors with pastry. Like his twin brother Taira, Akemi has the ability to see dead people, but rather than being bothered by it, he seems to think it's funny. He has a huge brother complex largely because he was dead for a while himself before Taira found a way to bring him back.
