Personality[]
Akira Miyamoto seems to have a reputation as a troublemaker, as one of the disciplinary committee members says he is "up to something." He cares more about revenge than returning to the human world. The school janitor also mentions that he wishes to become a boxer and the former wishes to train him to be a champion.
Profile[]
Shin Megami Tensei: if...[]
Akira is a student of Karukozaka High School, Class 2-C. He is a playable character only available after beating the game with either Yumi, Charlie or Reiko. His route is the "revenge" route against Hazama who sucked the school into the Expanse. Different from other routes of the game, Akira does not visit any kind of Sin World, but instead the Land of Nomos. As Akira and the protagonist tries to find a way out of the Tower of Confinement, he is put on the brink of death by Hazama and becomes possessed by the demon Amon. The protagonist and the Amon-Akira merged Akira soon starts climbing the tower, meeting demons or fighting them as they continue their climb. They also restore more of Amon's power inside Akira after they defeat Mammon, who had parts of Amon's power in him. When they reach the the topmost floor of the tower, they slay Deity Emperor Hazama despite him being stronger than the other times he is fought with other partners. Akira then takes his place as the new Deity Emperor and, because that he and Amon are now as one being, stays there while returning the protagonist to the human world whether they agree to it or not, however the school remains in Makai.
Stats[]
Shin Megami Tensei: if...[]
When Akira fuses with Amon, he will gain a flat +1 sum to each of his abilities. When the protagonist defeats Mammon, Akira will receive a further +2 bonus to each of his abilities. On each occasion, he also gains a new sprite, the first more drastic and the second a simple recolor. These bonuses are permanent and to his bases, and as such cannot increase his stats to over 40 the way equipment bonuses can.
Like the other partners, Akira uses the same formula to calculate his HP as the protagonist, which is determined by their gender. This can make the game somewhat more difficult if the female route is chosen.
Akira's stats are chosen at random from 4 different distributions:

Trivia[]
- Akira's last name and his possession is a reference to Amon Miyamoto, a Japanese stage director. It is also a reference to the manga Devilman, whose protagonist, Akira, gets possessed by the demon Amon and gains supernatural powers.
- In his official artwork, Akira has an ankh necklace, likely as a reference to his possession by Aamon, whose name demonologists have associated with the name of the Egyptian god Amon-Ra.
- The shoes he wears before his transformation in his official artwork are likely a reference to the New Balance shoes since they have a large capital N on the sides of the shoe.
- In the PlayStation version of Shin Megami Tensei: if… Akira has an exclusive theme ("Fated Enemy (宿敵)") that plays during random battles in his route. This composition is the origin of the normal battle theme of the Amala Network from Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne, and was later remixed further to create the default battle theme of the Shin Megami Tensei: if… Costume & BGM DLC for Persona 5.
