Akiko grew up with her brother basically, of course, her mother was there but she was always working to try and get money to help the household, this unfortunately meant it was basically her and her brother Ayato having to mainly take care of Saki. Their dad left as soon as Akiko was born, only around 3 years after Ayato.
Around another year later, Saki was born but once again, the father didn't stick around. To be fair, Akiko has a slight hatred for both her parents for the abscene of them, especially her father. Whilst her relationship with her siblings is very close, she loves them all dearly.
As a kid Akiko was bullied until her brother found out and began to grow very overprotective of her and Saki. Basically, her childhood consisted of sneaking out late at night and helping her brother around the house.
