Description: Akito Sohma often runs fevers, and Hatori Sohma claims half his doctor's work is tending to Akito, who he says "specializes in getting sick." Akito's age is not given, but she is a little younger than Ritsu, is shown to be slightly older than Yuki, and is taken for around twenty by Mitsuru. Akito Sohma is depicted as short-tempered and abusive, and has physically and emotionally scarred many Sohmas, including Hatori, Rin, Kisa, and Yuki. While Akito Sohma is part of the Sohma family curse, she is not possessed by a spirit of the Chinese zodiac, but rather fulfills the role of the Jade Emperor, a figure from the stories about the origins of the zodiac; she describes herself as the "god" of the zodiac, the "one who controls the Zodiac" and the "master of their souls."
