The first time that my husband say Akira, he said, "It's Elvis!". This is because Akira's hairstyle is very similar to Elvis Presley's. Akira is a very soft spoken and quiet guy who is a painter when he isn't working at Rei's shop. There is a great episode in which Meiko is having a hard time so she decides to take a walk. She comes across a bunch of kids painting and they ask if she wants to join them. She does and Akira is the teacher of the kids. They spend the afternoon together and Meiko has a great time joining in on the fun. It was almost like she figured out what she was missing because of her unusual childhood.
Ryouko and Akira do end up together, it seems. They are still together in the last episode in which part of it takes place after the kids graduate. I have a feeling they did well together in life.
