Changes

{{nihongo|'''Akira'''|アキラ}} is [[Shuji]]'s younger brother and [[Nene]]'s elder brother. For most of the series he is by Shuji's side, but much later in the series, he brawls [[Dan Kuso|Dan]] and [[Runo Misaki|Runo]] alongside Shuji and Nene. The three of their attributes can be combined for the [[Darkus#LegacyGeneration 1|Darkus]], [[Subterra]] and [[Ventus#LegacyGeneration 1|Ventus]] triple node. His Partner Bakugan is a Subterra Centipoid. When standing next to Shuji, he was shown wearing a blue [[BakuPod]], the trait of an Aquos battler, despite being a Subterra brawler.<ref>''Bakugan, The Battle Begins''</ref>
