She was later revealed to be [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c053/12.html responsible for]] [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c053/13.html cracking the barrier]] atop Amanohara. And near the climax of the battle against Venus, Minori [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c024/14.html awed everyone]] [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c024/15.html by physically ripping open one of Minerva's barriers]], who's an '''SS rank''' ability user.
* ChristmasCake: Which may be the reason no one finds her appealing, even though she's still reasonably attractive.
* CuteBruiser: She's essentially the adult version of Azuki [[UpToEleven taken to extremes.]] Ouken Yamato can attest to that better than anyone, having been [[MegatonPunch on the receiving end]] [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c042/19.html of her fists]] and being one of the few to survive it. [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c042/21.html Just. Barely.]]
* [[DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength Doesn't Know Her Own Strength]]: The punch she used to flatten Kai was only intended demonstrate the proper use of Element. But by Kai's admission, it was still strong enough that it could've killed him, even though he used Fullmetal to defend himself.
* FieryRedhead: A literal example, as 'Dragon Ace' gives her [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c042/22.html the "firepower"]] to match her hair color and her temperament. You do NOT want to piss her off.
* HypocriticalHumor: Done deliberately in chapter 3, when she teases Gen by reminding him that smoking isn't allowed at the school, while she's standing there with a cigarette herself.
* LightningBruiser: By channeling Element through her legs, Minori can greatly enhance her running speed and striking power. Which she demonstrated against Kai, during her class. The force of her punch was so strong, that Kai's Fullmetal ability was rendered moot.
* MamaBear: Briefly discussed between her and Ouken during the following exchange:
-->'''Minori: (angry)''' "I'm going to make you understand what happens when you mess with my students."
-->'''Ouken: (grinning)''' "So I've messed around too much with the little birds... [[LampshadeHanging and now their Mom]] [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c043/8.html is angry]], huh?"
* OneOfTheBoys: She and Azuki are so much alike, that you could be forgiven for thinking she's her mom. Right down to both of them being [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower superpowered]] [[RedheadedHero redheads.]]
* OvershadowedByAwesome:
** All the male students [[LustObject have the hots for Aki]], because [[GagBoobs her gargantuan rack.]] So Minori can't help wondering what Aki has that ''[[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c010/13.html she doesn't]]'', when they're only a cup size apart.
** There's also the times that Takaki inadvertently steals her thunder, like whenever Minori tries to inspire her students. Takaki ends up drawing their attention away from her and says [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c030/20.html what Minori meant to.]]
* PaperFanOfDoom: ...and will smack the hell out of you with if you're late for school.
* PassingTheTorch: The faculty has left discipline at the academy and their defense against external threats, such as [[spoiler: Kamigari]], up to the new student council. In Minori's own words, this era rightly belongs to the new generation.
* PlatonicLifePartners: With Gen, whom she's known since their days together in highschool.
* PlayingWithFire: Dragon Ace, allows her to channel vast amounts thermal energy for offensive purposes and creating defensive barriers. It was one of the first Maken created by Gen, who allowed her to keep it. But Minori chose the name for it, since Gen hadn't given it one yet.
* RedheadedHero: In the manga, her hair color is the same as Azuki's. The anime distinguishes them by changing Minori's to violet red.
* SenseiChan: She tries to come across as [[CoolBigSis a big sister figure]], in hopes becoming popular with the students, but it never works.
* TomboyishPonytail: Her hair is always styled in a short, mussy ponytail and fastened with a dark purple hair ribbon.
* WorthyOpponent: Minori is the only other person, besides her father, who Ouken Yamato has regarded with respect. He remarked on her strength and her fighting ability at least twice, during their battle.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: If there's one thing Minori can't stand, it's octopus. She's [[{{squick}} so squeamish]] around them that, if one gets anywhere ''near her'', she'll either [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere hightail it]], [[{{Fainting}} or faint.]]

He's also taken an interest in Takeru, recognizing him as the son of Takeshi Oyama, who was his (and Minori's) former sensei.
----

* ButtMonkey: Every time he tries to brag about his genius, Minori shuts him up by clamping her hand over his mouth and talks over him -- to the point where it becomes a {{running gag}}.
* GadgeteerGenius: Every student and even the teachers at Tenbi use Maken that he's created for them, which are tailor-made to accommodate them, based on their Element and their inherent ability.
* HotBlooded: Hoo boy, don't get him started on what a genius he is, or he'll never shut up about it. Which is why Minori makes it a point to do it ''for him''.
* MinorMajorCharacter: Gen's skill as a Makensmith and his past as one of the founding members of the original Maken-ki makes him a pretty big deal. Moreso, once you learn he's one of only five people in the world who can [[spoiler: use Black Element]]. So you'd think he'd be more integral to the plot, except...
* OutOfFocus: After giving Takeru his Maken in chapter 8, you'll hardly see Gen anymore. He only gets a brief appearance in chapter 34, followed by a longer spot during chapters 55 while helping the Venus Unit with their investigation.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HitomiHarada (Japanese), Creator/HeatherWalker (English)
The last member of the original Maken-ki (at Tenbi). These days, she serves as the academy's {{school nurse}} and the object of the male students' fantasies, because her unbelievably large breasts. In the manga, she's shown to be acutely aware of how they think of her and is self-conscious because of it. Whereas in the anime, she fails to realize why she gets so many visits to her office.
----
* AbsoluteCleavage: Aki gives new meaning to "plunging neckline," 'cuz her blouse [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/446600?tags=nijou_aki dips as low]] as the valley between her breasts.
* AdaptationalBadass: She doesn't have any combat skill in the manga, but seemed evenly matched with Akaya, during their brief spar in the anime's 9th episode.
* ADateWithRosiePalms: There's a scene in the second OVA where she's on the couch, masturbating in her sleep. Minori wakes up mere seconds before Aki gets herself off.
* ADayInTheLimelight: She gets her own spotlight episode in season 2, when she lies by telling her parents that Takeru was her boyfriend. So they kidnap him, then cuff them together and strand them alone on an island for a week, in hopes that they would, [[IWantGrandkids "make memories together".]]
* BuxomIsBetter: Aki-sensei's breasts, the largest of the cast, make her popular with all the boys and a source of envy for all the females. Haruko even went so far as to ''[[ClingyJealousGirl pad her bikini]]'', in an attempt to keep Takeru's attention on her, instead of Aki.
** In a flashback in the 5th episode of season two, it was shown that Aki had already developed large breasts while she was still in elementary school. Her mother told her she was certain Aki would have no trouble attracting men.
* CelibateHero: Minori tells Takeru that [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c039/9.html Aki is still a virgin]], while she's training him. In the anime, Aki tells him, herself, while they're stranded alone on the island (episode 5, season 2).
* TheChick: From what little was shown of her fight with Miyabi, Aki either has very little experience, or direct combat isn't her strong suit. So she leaves the fighting to Minori and Takeru.
* CuteClumsyGirl: Back when she was part of the disciplinary committee, she wound up [[InnocentFanserviceGirl in compromising]] [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c037.5/7.html positions]] so often that it encouraged bad behavior among the other students, just so they could see more.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Though the situation differs between the manga and anime:
** Aki was so mortified when Takeru and Usui found out she was still a virgin, that she said she'd do anything if they kept it a secret. She was fortunate that Takeru choked and only asked to oil her back, because Usui admitted that, had it been up to him, [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c039/10.html he would've asked to bone her.]]
-->'''Usui: (in disgust)''' "Shit! Why did you have to say, "Let us oil your back"!? She actually said those magic words..."
-->'''Aki: (brief flashback)''' "I'll do whatever you two want, so promise me!!"
-->'''Usui: (resumes)''' [[WhatAnIdiot "...and you PANICKED!!?"]]
-->'''Takeru: (incredulous)''' "What!? Are you saying you would've said, [[SexualExtortion "Let us f*** you"!!?"]]
-->'''Usui: ([[BrutalHonesty bluntly]])''' [[AskAStupidQuestion "Yeah, but not like THAT!!"]]
** Telling her parents she was dating a student wasn't the best idea either. She didn't consider the trouble it might cause Takeru. Plus, in a non-comical setting, the implications could've ruined her reputation and jeopardized her career.
* FailedAttemptAtDrama: {{Played for laughs}} when she finally releases her Maken versus Miyabi. Aki strikes a dramatic pose and everything... then procedes to give Miyabi [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/46/6/ a medical diagnosis.]] That's it.
-->'''Miyabi: (incredulous)''' "You bitch... your Maken... '''[[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/46/7/ ALL IT DOES IS LET YOU MEDICALLY EXAMINE PEOPLE!!"]]'''
-->'''Aki: (smiles sheepishly)''' "Y-yes, but it's ''still'' a Maken."
* FirstNameBasis: Everyone refers to her by her given name, or as "Ms. Aki," rather than, "Ms. Nijou".
* GagBoobs: Much like [[Characters/HighschoolOfTheDead Shizuka Marikawa]], anytime Aki's boobs move, it's accompanied by dull spring-like sound effects.
* {{Gainaxing}}: Aki's [[StealthPun "milkshake"]] is her fanservice department, hands down.
* GirlishPigtails: In the 37.5 omake, she tells Takeru and Usui it was how she used to style her hair, [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c037.5/6.html when she was a student.]]
* HelloNurse: Literally and figuratively speaking. Aki's so much of a bombshell, that even Haruko feels inadequate compared to her, and Minori can't understand what Aki has, that ''she doesn't''.
* IDidntMeanToTurnYouOn: In the manga, Aki is perfectly aware of what the male students [[LustObject think of her]] and is shown to be uncomfortable with it. She corrected herself on [[ThatCameOutWrong a poor choice]] [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c014/14.html of words]], with Kai. And in chapter 39, she was [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c039/15.html put-off by Takeru oiling her up]], but went through with it [[IGaveMyWord as part of a deal.]] She was [[VisibleSigh visibly relieved]] when Celia dragged him off.
* ImmodestOrgasm: Twice, with the first one occurring in the aforementioned scene in the second OVA. The second one came from Rudolf molesting her in the park.
* InnocentFanserviceGirl: She is shown to be a very naively immodest person when situations arise. A running gag is her habit of flashing her panties - unintentionally.
* IntimateHealing: Only done once (chapter 16), during which, she mounted Kai in the 69 position. She ignores his protests when he asks why and [[spoiler: used her Maken ability to shove both her hands into his abdomen]] to directly treat his wounds.
* LongHairIsFeminine: Hers reaches halfway down her back.
* LustObject: For the vast majority of the male students at Tenbi, who's eyes become glued to her mammoth mammaries. They'll even fake sickness and injury just for the chance to ogle her.
* MsFanservice: She's popular around campus for her '''K-Cup''' breasts, which are always on display because of her [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/446600?tags=nijou_aki low-cut blouse.]] Aki is also featured in promotional art for the series, usually [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/1769378?tags=nijou_aki in fetish wear]] and pinup poses.
* NiceGirl: Aki is generally well-meaning and is always prepared to lend a hand to Minori and the students at Tenbi.
* ObliviouslyBeautiful: In the anime version, she never notices all the stares she gets from the male students, which contradicts the manga's portrayal of her character.
* PottyEmergency: Has one while cuffed to Takeru in Episode 5 of ''Two''.
* ReluctantFanserviceGirl:
** As previously noted, she's become self-conscious because of how the male students look at her; including Takeru.
** Also seen during the flashback to her highschool days, in the 37.5 omake chapter[[note]]covered in the CuteClumsyGirl entry[[/note]].
** In chapter 60, Kimmi explains that Aki (and Takaki) won't cosplay for her anymore, due to the incident at the previous Manga Con. [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c060/15.html It made them uncomfortable]], but they went along with it until one of the malee attendees went too far.
* SatelliteCharacter: Aki's only there to provide fanservice... and [[PerverseSexualLust you won't hear anyone complaining.]]
* SchoolNurse: She oversees the students' physical examinations and uses Keronbo to assess their Element compatibility, so Gen can determine which Maken type is best suited for them.
* TechnicalVirgin: In the anime, she's only a virgin as far as not sleeping with anyone, but [[ADateWithRosiePalms she got herself off]] in the second OVA.

She can initially seem carefree and irresponsible, in an effort to gain popularity with her students, but she still expects them to adhere to the rules and will punish anyone who steps out of line. The manga reveals that Minori was responsible for weakening the seal atop Amanohara, which finally allowed Himegami to escape the barrier after more than 2,000 years of isolation.

* AlmightyJanitor: Would you honestly suspect a PE teacher of being one of the most powerful people on the face of the planet? Neither did Takeru, [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c042/20.html until he finally saw it for himself.]]
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: As school principal, she gets final say in all decisions[[note]]for matters that require her attention, that is. The student council only reports to her, but she trusts Takaki's judgement, so Minori leaves most decisions up to her[[/note]] and is one of the few people capable of making Haruko back down.
* BadassAbnormal: Even those closest to her have been [[JawDrop left slackjawed]] by [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c043/16.html the sheer magnitude]] of her power. Tesshin also noted that Ouken's surprise attack would've been fatal almost anyone else, but Minori's [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c047/6.html natural surplus of Element]] prevented her from sustaining further injury.
* BerserkButton: It's bad enough that all the guys overlook her, in favor of Aki. Saying it [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c030/13.html to her face]] is a quick way [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c030/14.html to get hurt.]]

* FailedAttemptAtDrama: {{Played for laughs}} when she finally releases her Maken versus Miyabi. Aki strikes a dramatic pose and everything... then procedes to give Miyabi [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/46/6/ a medical diagnosis.]] That's it.
-->'''Miyabi: (incredulous)''' "You bitch... your Maken... '''[[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/46/7/ ALL IT DOES IS LET YOU MEDICALLY EXAMINE PEOPLE!!"]]'''
-->'''Aki: (smiles sheepishly)''' "Y-yes, but it's ''still'' a Maken."
* FirstNameBasis: Everyone refers to her by her given name, or as "Ms. Aki," rather than, "Ms. Nijou".
* GagBoobs: Much like [[Characters/HighschoolOfTheDead Shizuka Marikawa]], anytime Aki's boobs move, it's accompanied by dull spring-like sound effects.
* {{Gainaxing}}: Aki's [[StealthPun "milkshake"]] is her fanservice department, hands down.
* GirlishPigtails: In the 37.5 omake, she tells Takeru and Usui it was how she used to style her hair, [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c037.5/6.html when she was a student.]]
* HelloNurse: Literally and figuratively speaking. Aki's so much of a bombshell, that even Haruko feels inadequate compared to her, and Minori can't understand what Aki has, that ''she doesn't''.
* IDidntMeanToTurnYouOn: In the manga, Aki is perfectly aware of what the male students [[LustObject think of her]] and is shown to be uncomfortable with it. She corrected herself on [[ThatCameOutWrong a poor choice]] [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c014/14.html of words]], with Kai. And in chapter 39, she was [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c039/15.html put-off by Takeru oiling her up]], but went through with it [[IGaveMyWord as part of a deal.]] She was [[VisibleSigh visibly relieved]] when Celia dragged him off.
* ImmodestOrgasm: Twice, with the first one occurring in the aforementioned scene in the second OVA. The second one came from Rudolf molesting her in the park.
* InnocentFanserviceGirl: She is shown to be a very naively immodest person when situations arise. A running gag is her habit of flashing her panties - unintentionally.
* IntimateHealing: Only done once (chapter 16), during which, she mounted Kai in the 69 position. She ignores his protests when he asks why and [[spoiler: used her Maken ability to shove both her hands into his abdomen]] to directly treat his wounds.
* LongHairIsFeminine: Hers reaches halfway down her back.
* LustObject: For the vast majority of the male students at Tenbi, who's eyes become glued to her mammoth mammaries. They'll even fake sickness and injury just for the chance to ogle her.
* MsFanservice: She's popular around campus for her '''K-Cup''' breasts, which are always on display because of her [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/446600?tags=nijou_aki low-cut blouse.]] Aki is also featured in promotional art for the series, usually [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/1769378?tags=nijou_aki in fetish wear]] and pinup poses.
* NiceGirl: Aki is generally well-meaning and is always prepared to lend a hand to Minori and the students at Tenbi.
* ObliviouslyBeautiful: In the anime version, she never notices all the stares she gets from the male students, which contradicts the manga's portrayal of her character.
* PottyEmergency: Has one while cuffed to Takeru in Episode 5 of ''Two''.
* ReluctantFanserviceGirl:
** As previously noted, she's become self-conscious because of how the male students look at her; including Takeru.
** Also seen during the flashback to her highschool days, in the 37.5 omake chapter[[note]]covered in the CuteClumsyGirl entry[[/note]].
** In chapter 60, Kimmi explains that Aki (and Takaki) won't cosplay for her anymore, due to the incident at the previous Manga Con. [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c060/15.html It made them uncomfortable]], but they went along with it until one of the malee attendees went too far.
* SatelliteCharacter: Aki's only there to provide fanservice... and [[PerverseSexualLust you won't hear anyone complaining.]]
* SchoolNurse: She oversees the students' physical examinations and uses Keronbo to assess their Element compatibility, so Gen can determine which Maken type is best suited for them.
* TechnicalVirgin: In the anime, she's only a virgin as far as not sleeping with anyone, but [[ADateWithRosiePalms she got herself off]] in the second OVA.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair
