Background
A former classmate and best-friend of Uchino Hakazaki, while known to be "a life-time nemesis" of Ayato Tokouryo.

He was originally from Arakawa, where his father was once a well-known detective, and a longtime association/co-worker of Ayato's father, Kijimoto Sagawa; and Uchino's father, Tokisa Shigechi.

Akagi was a strict, cold individual, who was never truly happy in any situation and hated failure and any casual relations with people.

During his younger years, Akagi had a strong desire to follow in his father's footsteps and began attending the Arakawa Police Academy when he was 13, then transferred to the National Police Academy for additional training, but failed the entrance exam and transferred to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. 2 years later he retake the tests and passed, which then assigned to Team 6 of Special Assault Team.

Project Zero-X
Before the events of Project Zero-X, Akagi is assigned as a bodyguard to Sōichi Shizuma; this is his only known contact with Shizuma. During the time, he has a strong dislike for Shizuma, who he considers an "idiot" and a "jerk".

As a result, he takes revenge against Shizuma after Shizuma kills his boss, Detective Mutsumi Ikutani; who Akagi blames for his death.

Akagi becomes a temporary member of Team Alpha when Shizuma is out to have a drink with his contractors in a geisha house. He beats up most of them and takes revenge on Shizuma's men.

At the same time, Sasaki (a former member of Division 5) holding Delta-6 hostage, and threatens to detonate the explosive. Sasaki was got executed by a sniper, but the bullet trajectory hits one of his groins, making him screaming in pain. Luckily, he wasn't severely wounded, but that makes Akagi hates Ayato.
