Akira Kurematsu
Akira was born in Kanazawa, Japan on May 1, 2530 into a poor family. He went through life working hard in both studies and physical strength. Known for being stubborn and being the person who ended fights Akira was drawn to the Marines and lied about his age to enlist early. During training he excelled and given the opporitunity to go through officer training, he did and went into the infantry as a Lieutenant. He was soon to be deployed to a colony planet but before his unit could arrive the planet was glassed, his unit was ordered to turn back. Still having no experience Akira was transferred to armor first leading a recon platoon. Later though he was transferred into the newly formed 17th Armored Battalion with the new rank of Captian with his own company of Scorpion tanks. After the 17th was deployed to Hera Akira became the Battalion's Ace tanker with at least nineteen Wraith kills and unknown number of other vehicles and infantry. He is still with the 17th and Bravo Company and is now in the Suaz Canal.

Ace Tanker
Captian Akira Kurematsu was labeled as the Battalion's Ace. Even Major Chris Jaeger credits him as being one of the key roles during the 17th's baptism of fire. Akira credits his crew and the massive effort they put forth in their training to his accomplishments. His crew were often found in classrooms or simulations during their free time. Akira scored nineteen Wraith kills and an unknown amount of other vehicles and infantry.

Relationship
Rumor throughtout the 17th and Bravo Company is that Akira is in a relationship with one of his Lieutenants. A Korean woman, Lieutenant Kim Jung Suh, of his Third Platoon. However the two have never commented on it openly. In truth they are dating and plan on marriage but try to keep that seperate from their duties as officers.
