Although there is not any distinct indication in ‘Slam Dunk’, Akagi Takenori gives me the impression that he is a male chauvinist. Perhaps it is his conceit, self-righteousness and presumptuousness. Remember how he thought that his loss to Sannoh’s Kawata Masafumi would cause the defeat of Shohoku and the numerous times when he refused to listen to others? 
          He is a person firm in his believes and principles. He fully believes in the hierarchy system and is therefore respectful of his elders and had no qualms about displaying his authority as a captain in public. He strives for excellence academically and is an obedient student. He also has a great sense of responsibility. 
          Akagi does not express his feelings very well nor too often. He is a straightforward person and dislikes flattery, just as he dislikes insults and unfavourable comments directed at him. But he dispenses rather mean comments about others sometimes. 
          Although farsighted is too good a term to use on him, he is nevertheless a systematic planner. He is usually level-headed. Of course, there are exceptions. One of which is his sister, Akagi Haruko, whom he is rather protective of. Two is the love of his live – basketball. Remember how he nearly fought with Sakuragi Hanamichi when the latter insulted the game? Three is his intolerance of idiocy which when couple with his bad temper brews a rather violent reaction. He even punched Rukawa Kaede on the head during the match with Sannoh. 
          In conclusion, Akagi Takenori is not really a nice guy. And he is definitely immature.
