Anime Biography

(3000 BC in English dub)

As the daughter of King Takeo, Akemi became heir to the throne and the Millennium Earrings, a prototype of sort of the 7 Millennium Items, made from the Duel Spirit, Lugian the Guardian, that her mother used to wear until she died, two years after giving birth to Akemi. During her childhood, Takeo was too busy with running the Kingdom, so Akemi was raised by Priest Shiroi. Growing up, she befriended her sons Valrin and was protected by Shiroi's oldest son, Valkyrin. Akemi was once attacked by a snake, but Valkyrin threw her out of the way, and took the bite for her. Akemi then saved him by sucking the venom out. Because of that, Valkyrin fell in love with her. One day, her father, Takeo took her on a trip to the tomb of his queen and her mother. Her father prayed to his queen to watch over Akemi when she becomes Queen herself.

Much later, Priest Jono was appointed as a Priest as the role of a healer. Akemi was present for the ceremony, bonding with him. The Pharaoh announced that Jono would serve him, and eventually Akemi as his right hand. Secretly, Takeo's brother, Arron, showed resentment towards Akemi as his son and Arron wanted him to be Pharoah, but he knew that if he did so, the kingdom would fall. He had to be patient.

On the day she became Queen, her kingdom was threatened by Thief King Bakura. Bakura had raided the tomb of her ancestors and stolen their souls to make DiaDhank.

. Bakura easily defeated Akemi's Guardians and Priest Jono with his Diabound before Akemi stepped in and challenged him with Lugian the Guardian. Diabound was severely injured and after almost being destroyed, Bakura fled. Afterwards, Akemi along with Priest Shiroi, her sons and her court went to the Pharaoh Atem's kingdom so they could join forces with the power of the seven Millennium Items and her Millennium Earrings. Throughout the dark tragedy, both Atem and Akemi got closer and started to develop feelings for each other, they could have ruled Egypt together, but they never had the chance to tell each other's feelings. After Atem and Akemi defeated Zorc by using a spell, which required Atem's soul and their names as tribute, he sealed Zorc in the Millennium Ring and his soul in the Millenium Pendant. Akemi sealed her soul within the Millennium Earrings, erasing her own memories to keep the spell from ever being used to resurrect Zorc. However, Zorc created Yami Bakura out of the combined spirit of himself and Thief King Bakura to find the 7 Millennium Items.
