[Character Name] Akira Ijyuin
[Canon] CLAMP School Detectives
[Point Taken from Canon] Post series
[Age] 10
[Gender] Male
[Eye Color] Gray
[Hair Color] Black

[Other] None
[Clothing] Shota shorts and terrible 90s fashion
[Background]
By day, Akira is the elementary student council treasurer of CLAMP school, occasional teacher of the baking classes in the university division, and member of the CLAMP School Detectives. As if that wasn't enough, he also has to run home every day to look after his childish mothers, cook for them and clean their house.
By night, he dresses up like a miniature version of Tuxedo Mask and becomes the thief with 20 faces. His mothers bully him in to stealing ridiculous things for them, presumably in the same way they did the previous 20 Faces, Akira's father.
Over the course of his canon, he solves mysteries, kidnaps celebrities, meets Santa Claus and starts a budding romance with a very articulate kindergarten girl. It's a very lighthearted canon, so a lot of the really distressing things I've just written are played for laughs.
[Personality]
In a sentence, he's sweet, bright and enthusiastic, if a little naive and with an unfortunate tendency to stick his foot in his mouth.
Akira is a very genuinely bright and cheerful boy, bursting with optimism and always with something to smile about. He's quite excitable and has seemingly boundless enthusiasm for all the wild plans Nokoru likes to put together. He's very open and honest and practically wears his heart on his sleeve. Good news makes him clap his hands together in delight. Sad stories make him tear up a little bit. His face goes bright red whenever he's uncomfortable or embarrassed about something and he develops a pretty severe stammer when people are teasing him.
Generally he's very polite and formal with people, and tries to focus on the best in everyone. He tends to get a bit starry eyed about the people he looks up to, particularly Nokoru and Suoh who are his best friends and in his mind basically flawless human beings. He also seems to hang off of Utako's every word, even before the romance plot really sets in. His mothers would be fairly described as pretty childish and selfish for the most part, but any of that is eclipsed in Akira's opinion by what doting and affectionate parents they are. Once you really get to know him you have a loyal friend for life, to the point where Akira literally swears his life to Nokoru and Suoh in one of the later CSD chapters.
He's a pretty sensitive kid compared to his cast. At his best, this makes him very sweet and kind, and he genuinely wants to help whenever someone seems to be in distress, even people he doesn't necessarily know very well. This is especially true of women, since as he's learned from Nokoru it's much more important to try to be an aid to a woman in distress in any way you can than it is to worry about how well you know her and whether it's really appropriate to intervene. However, he's also pretty sensitive to conflict in general. Nokoru and Suoh don't really fight per se, but even their spirited conversations about paperwork are enough to make him fret a little bit in the background of the panel. He takes people's words very much to heart, which can make his relationships with overdramatic characters like Utako a bit confusing for him.
He can be a little bit naive, and has an unfortunate tendency of saying just the wrong thing at the wrong time. Sometimes this can be pretty embarrassing for the people he's talking about, and at other times it makes him sound less than intelligent. People would probably describe him as being a little air-headed. However, Akira is actually very clever for his age, it's usually just a combination of naivete, his extreme gullibility and his failure to really think over what the things he's saying actually sound like that make him appear that way.
We know that he's intelligent because of his grades, but his secret identity as 20 Faces really showcases the best of Akira's abilities to think laterally. His escapes are always creative and he always manages to outwit the hundreds of police that are always present at his heists (he always notifies his victims that he will be arriving beforehand, sending notes that detail the particular item he is after and the exact time he will arrive to retrieve it. It's a courtesy in his mind.)
Even though he's been railroaded in to a staggering number of projects (by his mothers, by Nokoru, by Utako – he finds it very difficult to say no, especially to people he loves) he does his level best to keep up with all of them. He does all the cooking and cleaning in his mothers' house. He teaches baking lessons at the university. He seeks out crying girls around the campus as a CLAMP school detective in between all of his usual student council duties. But he really doesn't seem to mind working so hard, and is always modest about how good at everything he is.
[Specialties/Abilities]
He's already a master chef at 10 years old (just roll with it, okay) and both intelligent and athletic. That said they're book smarts, not street smarts (hahaha oh man is he lacking in those) and he's just a kid from a non magical canon, so grown or superhuman characters could easily out muscle him.
[Affection]
Akira tends to be too formal to initiate physical contact himself, but doesn't mind it. He likes having his hair ruffled. But he's very shy about affection from girls and overreacts to it in the extreme. (Pretty comically, actually)
[Fighting]
He hates conflict, even arguing, so it's unlikely that he'll get in to any fights. We do see him practising some kind of martial art in canon though, so he could if he really needed to.
