- Weight: 123 lbs (56 kg)
- Title: Ultimate Gymnast
Akane Owari is known for being a super athlete. Just by looking at her body, it's hard to believe that she's supposed to be a high school student! The only things she thinks about are her next meal and her next fight. Despite being the Ultimate Gymnast, Akane has never received any formal training, so her grasp of basic gymnastics is somewhat shaky and her routines are mostly improvised. Regardless, her Ultimate-level athletic prowess is more than enough to make up the difference. When she actually feels like performing, her routines are splendid to behold. But if she's not feeling it, she loses interest and starts switching things up unexpectedly. Because of this tendency of hers, Akane has a reputation for being an unreliable troublemaker.
