Shōhei Akagi

Akagi Shouhei is the newest member of Homura and a childhood friend of one of their seniors, Bandou Saburouta.

Appearance
He is a slim, young man of average height with straw-colored hair and brown eyes. Shouhei commonly wears silver jewelry such as a keychain necklace, wristwatch and studded earrings. Sometimes, he exchanges his keychain necklace for two segmented ones instead.

Shouhei wears an open red jacket, that also has black inner lining, with an upturned collar and the sleeves rolled up. Underneath, he wears a simple white T-shirt. He wears blue jeans and simple sneakers. In addition, Shouhei always wears a blue baseball cap, though the design differs from time to time. He currently has two: one with red flames and another with a single flame pattern on the front, with the words "HMD" signed in the center of it.

His Homura insignia is located on his left bicep.

Personality
Shouhei is a very cheerful and optimistic person; such traits tend to draw others to him, whether they want to or not. He is somewhat oblivious to most things such as simple, yet lengthy explanations regarding a membership in Homura. However, he is not at all unintelligent and can be strategic, especially in the midst of a difficult situation. He is also very loyal towards friends; when a female friend of his is under great pressure by her new boyfriend, who is also a leader of the Rakshasa drug dealing gang, he goes to save her, despite the costly risks. In addition, he continues to view his fellow Homura members as friends, even Bandou, despite the latter's then hostility towards him.

However, Shouhei does possess a darkness to his generally bright personality, something only those skilled at "mood reading" can understand.

Plot
Shouhei accompanies his fellow Homura members on a mission: "interrogate" one of the city's gang leaders to find out more about their new target. Shouhei, Bandou and Rikio are placed in Izumo's team and they head to the gang leader's hotel suite.

Shouhei disguises himself as a pizza delivery man doing his job, allowing someone to open the door, and thus, entrance for his team into the suite. Mikoto and Anna arrive shortly to begin the "interrogation"; however, they are unable to extract any useful information, so they leave, albeit disappointed.

The group head out but are stopped on the second floor, having been approached by SCEPTER4. Shouhei and the others quickly initiate in battle with the blue uniformed people; although, they are left seemingly defeated, with Mikoto even being arrested and jailed.

Sometime after, while out having a drink, Shouhei notices Yashiro Isana walking in the streets, immediately believing him to be his group's target. He sends a picture of him to his fellow members before leaving in pursuit of the white-haired teenager. While chasing after him, albeit unsuccessfully, he meets with Rikio and the two pursue Yashiro together; they are able to catch up with him at one point and Shouhei launches an attack, which Yashiro dodges. They eventually corner him in an alley with Izumo; however, Yashiro ends up escaping anyway.
