Akane Kurokawa Nendoroid Revealed!
Hello everyone! Arashi Bori here! I’m so glad you found my blog! I love to talk about upcoming anime figures and merchandise and share photos of my own collection. Nendoroids are my favorite, but I cover a wide variety of anime related subjects. Plus, I have a YouTube channel too, so feel free to check it out sometime! And thank you so much for tuning in; have fun reading!
Oshi No Ko has become such an iconic anime these days, and of course, Akane Kurokawa is one of its most important characters. And Akane fans will be overjoyed to hear that she will be getting her very own nendoroid figure! In my personal opinion, I think that she’ll go up for preorder pretty soon. The Good Smile announced Akane’s nendoroid figure not too long ago, and they’ve already released a sneak peak image for her nendo! however, we still don’t have all that much information. Which is why I’d love for you to share your theories as to what. Parts Akane will include in the comments. In this post, I’ll be discussing her new figure as well as sharing my thoughts. I’ll also introduce the character to everyone. So, let’s get started!
Oshi No Ko is a manga written by Aka Akasaka and illustrated by Mengo Yokoyari. It’s been airing as a TV anime series since spring 2023. The anime can only be watched on HIDIVE however. The story starts with a doctor and his patient who are reincarnated as an idol’s twins. Their mother Ai, hides the fact that she has kids as she continues her work as a star. But in an unexpected series of events, she ends up being murdered. Desperate to live up to their mother’s dreams, Aqua and Ruby take on the industry and attempt avenge their mother. Oshi No Ko seems cute at first, but it focuses on the corruption of the popular industry and expresses rather dark themes.
Akane Kurokawa is an actress with the Lala Lai Theatrical Company. She started in a reality dating show with Aqua, and together they forged a work-based relationship. Akane Kurokawa is a hard worker and a talented actress, but she deals with some serious mental struggles after receiving cruel feedback from her fans. Akane is also a skilled impersonator, and her Ai impression stunned Aqua. She considers Kana a rival, partly for being an actress close to her age, but also because they tend to fight over Aqua’s attention.
The image above shows the key visual for nendoroid Akane Kurokawa. She’s featured in her outfit from ‘We're About to Fall in Love for Real’. Akane will come with her smiling, assured expression. She can be posed with her hands behind her back as well.
What are your guesses as to which parts Akane will come with? Let me know in the comments!
I think that she’ll include her happy faceplate show here, a crying faceplate, and another faceplate with starry eyes for when she’s impersonating Ai. I think that she’ll come with a good variety of arm and hand parts, and she might include her phone or other little accessories.
Another example photo for Akane Kurokawa’s nendoroid was revealed, and this time we are able to see her new figure in color. Her eyes look amazing don’t they? They were really able to capture Akane’s spirit. In the key visual, she was smiling, but they changed her smile to a frown. She seems to be somewhat nervous. I love the paint job; the highlighting in her hair turned out very pretty.
I’m very excited as to what Akane’s finished nendoroid will be like. Please keep in mind that these figures are still in progress, and the finished model will differ. I should also mention that I have some more information on Memcho’s future nendoroid figure, so I’ll be covering her on my blog very soon! With the addition of Akane and Memcho, all Oshi No Ko’s main characters will be added to the nendoroid line of figures! And I’m sure the Oshi No Ko fans are thrilled to hear about all these new figure releases.
Thank you so much for reading my blog! See you next post!
