Komachi Akita

Komachi Akita (秋田小町, Akita Komachi) is a minor character that shows up in the Barjona Bombers manga and games, as well as Kitakou Pure. She is a student at Seiryou Information High School.

Appearance

Komachi is a girl with long pink hair, with part of it tied into a set of ponytails. In her early appearances in Kitakou Pure, her hair was back-length and she wore ball-shaped hair ties to hold her ponytails up. In subsequent appearances including the Barjona game, Komachi's hair was waist-length, and she had the rest of her hair tied up into the ponytails with red ribbons. Her eyes varied between being violet and bright pink between each appearance in colored artwork and the games.

But in later artwork done in 2008, her hair became a darker shade of pink and shorter once more, falling to her upper back. Her ponytails also shrunk drastically, becoming smaller, thinner, and held up with black ribbons.

Her Seiryou uniform consists of a white uniform blouse with a red neckbow, a vest, and a pleated skirt. The skirt originally had no back bow, but it soon became a feature of the girls' uniform. The vest has alternatively been colored khaki, a bright green, or olive green, while the skirt has been khaki, olive green, or a lighter (almost chartreuse-looking) shade of green. She wears a lace petticoat under her skirt.

Trivia

• As expected of a Kitayume character, her surname derives from the prefecture she is modeled after. In addition, a possible inspiration for her given name could be the legendary waka poet Ono no Komachi, who was said to have been born in the region that later became the Akita Prefecture.
