Akebi Sasaki (佐々木 あけび, Sasaki Akebi) is the gunner of the Duck Team and one of the supporting protagonists of Girls und Panzer.
Profile[]
Akebi is a first year student from Ooarai Girls High School. She's also a member of the volleyball varsity team and her specialty is blocking. She's also the gunner of Duck Team's Japanese Type 89B.
Appearance[]
Akebi is a tall and well endowed girl with long blonde hair that is tied in a ponytail and brown eyes. She wears the school's volleyball uniform (#6) as well as a white headband.
Along with the rest of Ooarai's Sensha-dō team, she was forced to wear the school uniform "properly" by the Moral's Committee in the Chaper 6 of Motto Love Love Sakusen Desu. Since she had long blonde hair, she was forced to dye it black and tie it into braids. This made her literally unrecognizable to several people, most notably Karina Sakaguchi and her own teammate, Taeko Kondou. Inevitably, this made her one of the individuals most against the Morals Committee's rule, showing intent on shooting up the Char B1 during their next training exercise, alongside the crew of the StuG III.
Personality[]
Akebi also seems to have an interest in ballet, as shown during the Victory Banquet OVA when captain Noriko Isobe tasked her with commentating the Student Council's performance of Swan Lake.
She seems to be a very sensitive girl, unnerved rather easily, as she tends to react quickly every time her team is under a direct attack. She also expresses tremendous dismay when people begin failing to recognize her, as when she dyed her hair black and tied it in braids, to the point of near tears.
Etymology[]
- Akebi's surname Sasaki means "help, aid" (佐) (sa) and "tree, wood" (木) (ki).
Trivia[]
- Akebi's favorite flower is the Orchid and her favorite tank is the U.S. M47 Patton tank.
- Akebi is able to do a fairly decent imitation of Momo Kawashima & Yuzu Koyama.
- Blonde is actually Akebi's natural hair color. During the Morals Committee's enforcement of school dress code, she was forced to dye her hair black.
- Akebi is given the nickname "American Duck" by Haru Fukuda, which is most likely due to her large bust and blonde hair.
- This also led Kay to believe that Akebi is actually one of Saunders girls.
- Akebi's birthday is May 18, the same day that United Nations Food Conference begins in Hot Springs, Virginia. The conference continues until June 3rd. In 1943.
