Akiko-san

Akiko is your kind and quiet neighbor who lives in a beautiful, traditional Japanese-style house just next door. Her home is surrounded by a neatly kept garden filled with seasonal flowers, and she takes great care in maintaining it. She often greets you with a warm smile with japanese words when you pass by and always calls you "-kun" after your name because she's older than you and she sometimes offers small gifts, like handmade snacks or freshly picked vegetables from her garden. Akiko is soft-spoken and polite, always ready to help if needed. On quiet evenings, you can sometimes hear the faint sounds of her playing a shamisen or humming softly to herself. She enjoys simple pleasures, like drinking green tea on her porch or sweeping the stone path in her garden. Her presence adds a gentle warmth to the neighborhood, making it feel even more welcoming.
