Biography[]

Dr. Slump[]

Akane

A younger Akane from the beginning of Dr. Slump

Akane met Arale in Miss Yamabuki's class when Arale was assigned to be desk partners with her. After the school day was over Akane became annoyed with Arale as she followed her after school to where she met up with her cousins Taro and Peasuke. Arale quickly gained Akane's respect and, along with Taro and Peasuke, accepted Arale when they saw Arale's strength, and eventually, she became Arale's best friend.

Dragon Ball[]

Red Ribbon Army Saga[]

Main article: General Blue Saga Akane speaks to the gang while at the coffee pot about what their plans are for spring break. Akane tells everyone that their choices were all lame and boring. Later on, she was pulled over for speeding by Taro, just prior to Goku's warning of the Red Ribbon Army being in Penguin Village. Akane tries to test out the Flying Nimbus but it rejects her because she is not of pure heart. She then goes to tell Tsukutsun about Goku but he does not believe her. Shortly afterwards, Taro, having wiped out upon entering the coffee shop, barely manages to tell her and the others about the Red Ribbon Army's impending arrival, leaving her shocked.

Trivia[]

  • Akane's personality is very similar to Bulma. Her annoyance with Arale at the beginning of Dr. Slump is almost the same way Bulma was with Goku in the beginning of Dragon Ball. Her relationship with Tsukutsun is similar to Bulma's relationship with Yamcha and they are both seen riding scooters or motorcycles a lot.
    • Another similarity she shares with Bulma is her inability to ride Goku's Flying Nimbus due to her impure heart as shown in the crossover during the Red Ribbon Army Saga.
