Akira Kurusu appears as a tall young man of slim to athletic build. He has a pale complexion with unkempt, wavy black hair that falls over his eyes. His eyes are gray and he has long eyelashes. Despite his messy hair and slouched posture, he wears all of his clothes primly and properly.

His outfit consists of a black ankle-length tailcoat, a high-necked waistcoat with gold accents, cinched black pants, brown-black winklepickers boots with taller heels, and a pair of red gloves. Over his eyes is a white, birdlike domino mask with black designs around the eyes reminiscent of full eyeliner and sharp lashes, as he was left in his Joker outfit when he crossed over.

[u]Personality:[/u] Akira Kurusu comes off as initially quiet and awkward, though Akira is usually quiet most of the time, those who know him well are able to see his kind heart and how he is always there for them, however, he can be quite the socialite when he needs to be.

[u]Brief History:[/u] After collapsing the Palace of Distorted Desire within the famed artist Ichiryusai Madarame, the twisted master of the arts exploiting his pupils and passing off their works as his own, The Phantom Thieves were lying low. They were waiting for a change of heart and for their quarry to admit to his crimes and turn himself in, the result of their last bout of this business with Kamoshida. After a successful heist, Akira was on his way back to Leblanc to get a well-earned rest, that is before a light came from an alleyway behind the coffee shop. Curiosity leading him, he approached the alley seeing a glowing rift of sorts. It felt unfamiliar, not at all like what he had done before with his dives into the Metaverse, but he couldn't help himself from reaching out to it. A force pulled on his arm violently, sending him tumbling into the extradimensional portal, the gateway closing behind him. The alley was left in eerie silence, his new journey was only just beginning, another world needed him before he could save his own from ruin.
