Physical Traits
Akinori is a fair skinned chubby boy with brown spiky hair and brown eyes.

He wears a white kimono, a blackberry colored hakama, zori sandals and a necklace of green Buddhist prayer breads.

Akinori has the ability to utilize Yo-kai energy, the very same energy Yo-kai use for their powers, to perform small feats of sorcery.

Personality
Akinori takes his job as a member of the Yo-Kai Watch Detective Agency very seriously and tends to get very angry when Natsume and the others disrespect that. He is shown to have a very humorous side. He seems to have high self esteem in himself and does things with a lot of pride. He also believes he is the "leader" of the Yo-kai Detective Agency.

M04
Akinori is one of the protagonists in Yo-kai Watch Shadowside: The Return of the Oni King.

He is the eldest son of the Arihoshi family, who for generations have used Yo-kai energy for divination.

He notices the impending danger, although he doesn't know it's true nature until an elderly relative of his explains the Onimaro to him. From his studies, he knows a Yo-kai Watch would have the power needed to stop the catastrophe.

He ends up aiding Natsume, the one chosen by the Yo-kai Watch Elder, in fighting the Oni King Rasen, using both his knowledge and his sorcery to help.

Etymology
His family name literally translates to "occuring star" which maybe a reference how Akinori draws a star when casting his magic.

His given name is likely taken from, being one of the four seasons, which Touma, Natsume, and Haruya are also named for.
