AKIRA KANKICHA doesn't know who her father hires. Akira Kankicha just knows that it is to keep the family safe. Being the daughter of a powerful and wealthy drug lord has it's perks, but sometimes, those perks won't ever meet the downside.
Even though Akira has about a hundred henchmen underneath her slippers, one of the henchmen is bound to rebel at some point and try and knock her off balance. That is where the hiring comes in.
Akira's father would hire different shinobi to keep Akari safe and her mother safe from others that would try and use the two to take down Akira's father's illegal business work. It was tough trying to find the right people to hire, but if the amount of money is the same as the amount of work, then you're most likely to find yourself hired.
Although Akira has been raised in a wealthy nature, she isn't allowed to go in public that often. If she were, then it had to be somewhere that was very large or very small. A village having a medium-sized population isn't good enough. The population isn't big enough where you can blend in with crowds, nor is it small enough where there isn't a lot of gossip going around so the likelihood of someone knowing your father is a drug lord would be low.
Akira didn't mind that rule, particularly. But what she really minded was not being able to experience the thrill in living life without hired protection or guidance. She was always protected and someone would be watching over her. Akira got use to the feeling of having eyes on her, but what she didn't get use to was being worried or frightened for your life. Knowing that you're safe 24/7 keeps those types of emotions low.
Akira wasn't completely isolated from people, either. Children of co-drug lords would be the only people Akira could hang out with. They would gossip in nearby villages or order two henchmen to spar each other for entertainment. Sometimes, the children of the drug lords would even fight each other. If they were that bored.
Akira, having wavy brown hair with choppy bangs and a slender figure, was often underestimated. Despite her short height, it gave her a good center of gravity. In the hand-held fan that she would carry when it would be hot (which was almost always), there were blades hidden in it so she could easily defend herself when needed. Just press a certain switch and blades would slide out of the sticks [a/n: diagram of a hand-held fan below].

Akira, even though having a weaponed-fan with her at practically all times, was best known for her swordsman skills. With her small figure, it was easy for her to dodge and move around. Because she was so low, it's easier to attack going upward because there is no possible way to hit the ground as you would slice at your opponent.
