Trivia[]
- Along with her male counterpart, Aki first debuted as the default female avatar protagonist in the original God Eater game, though she wasn't given an actual name at the time. It wasn't until the Pachi-Slot God Eater game gave her an official name.
- An early artwork of God Eater featured Aki as the original wielder of the Voltaic Blade God Arc, before it was given to Ryo Kagami and later changed to the default Long Blade God Arc. Her Arc was later changed again in God Eater Resurrection to the Knife EX set, as proven in one promotional artwork. However, there is one artwork that still depicted her with the default Long Blade set.
- There are two God Eater Burst promotional artworks that feature Yuu and Aki at the same time, proving her existence is canon. Same for the other two protagonists in God Eater Burst cover art.
- In Japanese, Aki means "autumn" or "bright".
- Aki's surname, (霊代, Tamashiro), means "spirit", "soul", or "divine spirit" (霊, Tama), and "substitute" (代, Shiro), which translates to "vessel of the spirit".
- Her. Japanese default voice in God Eater Burst and God Eater Resurrection is Satomi Satō, which is also her official Japanese voice actress, confirmed in Pachi-Slot God Eater.
- While never stated or confirmed, it is possible that Aki's supposed companion (and possibly love interest) was intended to be Soma Schicksal, similar to how Yuu and Alisa are often paired together. Some artworks, including official God Eater Offshot screenshots, frequently depict Aki and Soma together. However, they are never actually shown interacting with each other.
