Of 100 children participating in the exam, Akame and her sister are among the few who manage to survive, but are parted when Gozuki refuses to allow the siblings to join the same group, noting that it would be bad for them to depend on each other. As the stronger of the two sisters, Akame is accepted into Gozuki's new Assassin squad, and is trained in the arts of espionage and combat, becoming a highly effective killer. in her days as an Empire

The seven where given Shingu, weapons in which the Emperor 400 years ago created in order to surpass the Teigu but failed to surpass them. Akame was given Kiku-Ichimonji, a Shingu where wounds inflicted by the katana cannot be healed. After a long unspecficied period of time training, the seven where given their first mission. Akame was sent to kill Martha a person in the nearby village whom is a Revolutionary Army spy and also a close friend to Akame. This was done to test her resolve as Gozuki feared that she was far too kind for their purposes.

As the others finished their missions suceessfully Akame led Martha to a Graveyard with the intention of proving that Martha was innocent. Martha denies the claim and Akame tries to leave proving to herself that the information that she was given was incorrect. However Martha uses the moment when Akame turned her back to her to strike at her. Realising the truth of the information she was given, Akame cuts her down. Martha dies by Akame's blade and this brings tears to Akame's eye.

The story skips ahead at this point, next showing Akame and Tsukushi disguising themselves among a traveling entertainer group. Soon the group are attacked by bandits and the pair help fight off their attackers, defeating all of them.

After Tatsumi accepts joining Night Raid, they are attacked by several member's of a Empire employed tracking clan. Night Raid is sent to dispatch them. Akame is attacked by three men, whom she dispatches with great ease. She later helps deal the killing blow to an enemy that Tatsumi was fighting, telling him to promptly land the killing blow to his enemies.

Najenda tells Tatsumi to train under Akame, which at first seems to be a variety of chores including cooking and fishing. Eager to make Akame accept him Tatsumi deals with Ogre of the imperial guard whilst Akame and Leone deal woth the other target; Gamal. Upon his return Akame strips Tatsumi of his clothes to check for wounds and expresses concern for Tatsumi's wellbeing, revealing that is is not as cold hearted as she was thought to be. Her training is revealed to have helped Tatsumi in his mission.

When Zank the beheader runs loose in the captial Akame and Tatsumi are sent to kill him. Akame tells Tatsumi about Teigu and how everybody apart for Najenda has one. Tatsumi encounters Zank and their fight is interrupted by Akame who joins in the fight making the battle between two teigu users.

Zank uses his spectator teigu to accurately predict Akame's moves despite the speed and intensity of her strikes. She attempts to clear her mind in order not to be read but it is useless as spectator picks up the small changes and predicts her moves. Zank uses spectator's third ability to show illusions of the target's loved ones on Akame. Zank claims that no one will be able to cut down their most beloved person however Akame sees Kurome and does not hesitate to cut her down. She remarks that the person she loves the most is the person whom she wishes to kill the most. After a brief fight with Zank again she manages to destroy his weapon and cuts him down

Akame is does not play a major part of the story until after Schere's death where she shown to try to help Mein with eating her food. Later on Tatsumi sees her get dumplings to use as an offering to the death as it was Schere's favourite food. Tatsumi remarks how "used to it" however Akame grabs him and shouts at him telling him that she will never be able to get use to the kind of pain of losing her friends. Akame agrees to Tatsumi's declaration to change the country without making her experience the pain of losing her friends once more.

When Tatsumi is taken by Esdese and is on the verge of ordering a rescue for him. The other members of Night Raid stop her but she declares that they will do anything they can for him. Soon after Tatsumi escapes from Esdese and the Jaegars Akame finds him in time to stop a danger beast from killing Tatsumi.

They return to the Night Raid base. Where Tatsumi informs Night Raid of the strength and members of the Jaegars which include Kurome; Akame's sister. Unbeknowst to them Dr Stylish had followed Akame and Tatsumi and found himself at the Night Raid base preparing an attack with his enhanced troops.

As the attack began Night Raid was caught with their guard down. Akame saves Rabac from several enhanced troops only to find herself challenged by the "knight" of Team Stylish; Toby. Akame after fighting him discovers that he is a cyborg and therefore Muramasa's poison cannot work on him. She decides that she must slowly hack him to pieces.

After she kills Toby she regroups with the rest of Night Raid. Unfortunately Dr Stylish uses his secret poison to paralyse the members of Night Raid. Only Tatsumi manages to move due to Incursio. As they are about to be attacked by the enhanced troops the they saved by a timely attack by the new member of Night Raid, Susanoo who came along with Najenda and another member Chelsea.

Seeing that his enhanced troops will fail to defeat Night Raid with the backup of the Human Teigu, Susanoo, Dr stylish undergoes a danger beast transformation. This turns him into a colossal danger beast, with the only hint of his previous self near the danger beast's chest.

The Night Raid members deem this point to be the weak point of the danger beast. Akame requests Tatsumi to carry her to the chest of the Dr Stylish danger beast. They successfully evade all of his attacks from the help of Susanoo and the others so that Akame can cut him down. Dr Stylish was killed by Akame's poison sword Murasame.

Akame and the others are forced to flee from their base for fear of being found out. They temporarily take residence in a unexplored region of the Empire where they train by subjugating danger beasts. They relocate to a new base which is similar to the old one.

They receive word that a new type of danger beast has been terrorising the citizens of the Empire. Night Raid accept this request and set off to destroy them.

Najenda informs the group of the revolutionary army's plan to use multiple uprisings to send the Empire into chaos. One of these Uprisings is to come from the followers of the path of peace. However it is under threat from a Empire spy named Borick. It is Night Raid's task to assassinate Borick and ensure that the plans of the revolutionary army are kept intact.

Night Raid sends false messages that Akame and Mein have left for one Kyoroch and the conflicting reports that Najenda is headed south. Night Raid sucessfully manages to split the Jaegars into two groups.

She is later seen in her bikini with the other members of Night Raid to provide bait for their trap. Mein assures her that if they do end up fighting Kurome that she will Akame's back.

Equipment &amp; Skills
Akame wields the weapon Teigu, "One Cut Killer Murasame". It is a long katana that is coated in a cursed poison that kills with even the slightest cut to the skin. She is shown to be very proficient with her weapon, and would have killed Tatsumi, if not for the statue his fellow villagers gave him before embarking on his journey.

She is shown however to not rely alone on her teigu but to be a capable and powerful fighter. She has remarkable speed and reflexes able to dodge and counter-attack with deadly results. She also gives off no killing intent at all when she fights.

Relationships

 * 1) Tatsumi - Akame is initially indifferent to Tatsumi, refusing to share meat with him until he officially joins Night Raid.

Later on, Akame has a romantic feelings for Tatsumi
 * 2) Leone- Akame and Leone appear to be good friends, but their relationship is sometimes used for comical effect, seen when Leone punches her when she comments on the difference in their weight.
 * 3) Najenda- Akame is trusted by boss enough to be left in charge of Night Raid during her absence. Although they aren&apos;t shown socializing often, it is known that Najenda herself persuaded Akame to defect from the Empire and join the Revolutionaries, and Night Raid.
 * 4) Kurome - Akame's little sister, both she and Kurome are sold to the Empire since she was little. Both of them are trained to be assassins, however her sister are not selected to be the top 7 assassins, presumably due to the bond as siblings.
