Keisuke - Keisuke is his closest friend, as they grew up together. As such, he can easily subdue several hostiles at once (depending on their skill level of course). Since he was one of the few regulars, Akira's stamina and endurance is a force to be reckoned with. He acquired his preferred dagger from Nano when he was young.
