Some time ago, her mother, a sercetary died in a traffic accident and was covered up as a suicide, leaving no evidence to be found, as the culprit is supposedly dead and left a suicide note saying that he did not do it. In reality, the incident is orchestrated by a corrupt politician who once lobbied for [[Masayoshi Shido]] named [[Jun Owada]]. When Zenkichi decided to investigate the case, he was sent a death threat that Akane might be killed as well. As a result of this and Zenkichi working at police, she was often home alone during a young age and distrusts her father because she resents all policemen for their failure of investigating her mother's death and believed that Zenkichi has abandoned her.

Two years ago and a year before the events of ''Persona 5'', her mother died in a traffic accident and was covered up, leaving no evidence to be found, as the culprit is supposedly dead and left a suicide note saying that he did it. In reality, the incident's culprit was a corrupt politician who once lobbied for [[Masayoshi Shido]] named [[Jun Owada]], who killed Aoi when he's driving while drunk and subsequently pins fault on his subordinate. When Zenkichi attempts to investigate the case on his own (due to Owada interfering with the police's own investigation), he was sent a death threat warning him that Akane might be killed as well. Because of this, Zenkichi stops his investigation and becomes disillusioned. As a result of Zenkichi's failure to investigate the truth, Akane distrusts her father, believing that he had abandoned her, and has by extention grown to resent all policemen for their failure of investigating her mother's death.

After this incident, Zenkichi and Akane moved to [[Kyoto]] where her grandparents are around, where she would often be at home alone. He gave her money and her grandparents gave her food, although she does not leave her room much and doesn't have any friends in Kyoto (due to being too depressed to socialize with her peers). She is now a 3rd year student in middle school. She develops an obsession with the Phantom Thieves during this time, due to their apparent disregard towards the police.
After the party returns from [[Fukuoka]] and Zenkichi arrested for preventing the Phantom Thieves' arrest, the police emptied the Hasegawa residence for proof. Out of desperation, and feeling betrayed by the Phantom Thieves upon realizing they are working with Zenkichi, Akane asked [[EMMA]] to save her, creating a [[Jail]] within Kyoto. When Konoe asks EMMA a way to capture the Phantom Thieves, EMMA proposed to him that he should use Akane's Jail as bait, allowing him to use the application to fabricate a distress call in hopes of a resentful Akane changing their hearts. The Keyword for the Jail is "Phantom Thieves," which was mistakenly spoken by Ryuji. Once they enter the Jail, Akane is seemingly found bound on a pillar, only for her to transform into her Shadow clothing and catching the Thieves. (The real Akane actually remained comatose in her bed.) Futaba was the only one who wasn't in the cage because she was too slow to run. It turns out that she has been distorted to the point that she no longer trusts anyone, and she thought the Phantom Thieves killed one of the [[EMMA]] researchers who was the King of [[Osaka's Jail]] because the news said so. She attempts to "change their heart" only for [[Sae Niijima]] to instantly release Zenkichi from interrogation, who quickly goes to the Jail alongside Futaba who escaped.
 
   
  +
The party first meets Akane when Zenkichi makes a midway stop to Kyoto to meet his daughter. When the protagonist and Futaba started to take her call for Zenkichi, she quickly became furious and believed that Zenkichi was hanging out with other women. When the party arrives to Kyoto despite discouragement from Zenkichi, they spot Akane having a quarrel with Zenkichi in front of her mother's grave, in which they explain that they were just people working with Zenkichi to solve a case. Akane seems to be incredibly disrespectful to Zenkichi, to the point that Futaba comments that Sojiro will become depressed if she treated him like that. The Hasegawas and the party arrive to the Hasegawa residence afterwards, in which the group prepares a curry dish for Akane and give her some much needed company. After a while, the party visits Akane's room where she is revealed to be a Phantom Thief affiocando, with her room being filled with memorabilia and with her hosting her own Phantom Thief-themed live stream.
After Zenkichi awakens to [[Valjean]], Shadow Akane reveals herself to be a projection and vanishes, allowing exploration of [[Kyoto's Jail]]. The party does not fight any [[Lock Keeper]] or return to the real world; instead, Akane is fought immediately at the end of the Jail. Despite this, she does not attack herself or transform, but instead summons cognitive copies of Phantom Thieves to attack. However, the actual enemy fought in-game is a cognitive Joker known as [[My Dear Joker]], which must be taken care by [[Protagonist (Persona 5)|the protagonist]] alone. Once this is done for, Shadow Akane calls Zenkichi dad once before vanishing, and in reality, she is just lying on her bed all the time, in which she regains her sanity and is actively chatting with her father.

As Makoto helps Akane study for her highschool entrance exams, she explains that she did see the culprit who killed her mother and nobody ever believed a thing she said. The culprit also blamed the incident to his secretary and forced him to commit suicide. Despite Makoto reassuring Akane that her dad cared for her, she breaks down in tears insisting that he didn't.

After the party returns from Okinawa and [[Fukuoka]] arrive in Osaka, Jun Owada and [[Akira Konoe]] conspire to use their influence to force the arrest of the Phantom Thieves to cover their tracks.

Profile

Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers

Akane is the daughter of Zenkichi Hasegawa who lives alone in Kyoto, although they used to live in Tokyo. She is an avid fan of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts and has a live stream channel worth 50 thousand followers. She also live broadcasts the Phantom Thieves incidents to her followers.

Two years ago and a year before the events of Persona 5, her mother died in a traffic accident and was covered up, leaving no evidence to be found, as the culprit is supposedly dead and left a suicide note saying that he did it. In reality, the incident's culprit was a corrupt politician who once lobbied for Masayoshi Shido named Jun Owada, who killed Aoi when he's driving while drunk and subsequently pins fault on his subordinate. When Zenkichi attempts to investigate the case on his own (due to Owada interfering with the police's own investigation), he was sent a death threat warning him that Akane might be killed as well. Because of this, Zenkichi stops his investigation and becomes disillusioned. As a result of Zenkichi's failure to investigate the truth, Akane distrusts her father, believing that he had abandoned her, and has by extention grown to resent all policemen for their failure of investigating her mother's death.

After this incident, Zenkichi and Akane moved to Kyoto where her grandparents are around, where she would often be at home alone. He gave her money and her grandparents gave her food, although she does not leave her room much and doesn't have any friends in Kyoto (due to being too depressed to socialize with her peers). She is now a 3rd year student in middle school. She develops an obsession with the Phantom Thieves during this time, due to their apparent disregard towards the police.

The party first meets Akane when Zenkichi makes a midway stop to Kyoto to meet his daughter. When the protagonist and Futaba started to take her call for Zenkichi, she quickly became furious and believed that Zenkichi was hanging out with other women. When the party arrives to Kyoto despite discouragement from Zenkichi, they spot Akane having a quarrel with Zenkichi in front of her mother's grave, in which they explain that they were just people working with Zenkichi to solve a case. Akane seems to be incredibly disrespectful to Zenkichi, to the point that Futaba comments that Sojiro will become depressed if she treated him like that.

After a while, the party visits Akane's room where she is revealed to be a Phantom Thief affiocando, with her room being filled with memorabilia and with her hosting her own Phantom Thief-themed live stream.

The culprit also blamed the incident to his secretary and forced him to commit suicide. Despite Makoto reassuring Akane that her dad cared for her, she breaks down in tears insisting that he didn't.

After the party returns from Okinawa and Fukuoka arrive in Osaka, Jun Owada and Akira Konoe conspire to use their influence to force the arrest of the Phantom Thieves to cover their tracks. Zenkichi arrested for preventing the Phantom Thieves' arrest, the police emptied the Hasegawa residence for proof. Out of desperation, and feeling betrayed by the Phantom Thieves upon realizing they are working with Zenkichi, Akane asked EMMA to save her, creating a Jail within Kyoto. When Konoe asks EMMA a way to capture the Phantom Thieves, EMMA proposed to him that he should use Akane's Jail as bait, allowing him to use the application to fabricate a distress call in hopes of a resentful Akane changing their hearts. The Keyword for the Jail is "Phantom Thieves," which was mistakenly spoken by Ryuji.
