Appearance
A young, attractive woman currently in her early twenties. She is a petite, slender woman with short, blonde hair in a bob cut with a characteristic braid and has violet eyes. Her hair style is similar to her deceased mother. It has been noted that physically, she to not be what many CCG members expected of Kureo Mado's daughter, who appeared rather eccentric.

Akira is often seen in formal clothing and working diligently for the CCG. She tends to leave her expression neutral most of the time however, and rarely shows any serious form of emotion unless provoked to do so. After softening up and getting close to Amon, she expresses more emotions.

After the time skip, her hair has grown out and she keeps in tied up in a braided bun.

Personality
She is an intelligent woman and seems to be always serious about work and her daily routine in general. Like her father, she has deep insight and intuition that helps her in investigation and determining what is going on around her while on the field. She shares her father's "quinque-mania" but it is not as extreme as his was.

Akira remains professional in most situations, no matter who she is faced with, and she isn't one to admit her own feelings on a subject unless provoked to a certain degree. Seen through her interactions with others, it is most likely that she would prefer to make a quinque rather than to interact with someone else.

After the timeskip, Akira has become much more open about showing her emotions to other which is shown through her conversation with Haise Sasaki.

Raid of Kanou's Lab
Akira is assigned as the subordinate to Koutarou, Who was the subordinate of her father.
