INTRODUCTION
Hello! My name is Akiko. I was born in Japan and spent the first two years of my life there. My parents decided to move to the United States so, when I was two years of age, we moved to Arizona. The falling economy made my parents decide to move back to Japan at the end of my first year of high school. I come from the rich family [the second richest only to one] of the Matsuokas. I have never let that go to my head and it never will. I do not brag about things of that nature and I do not intend to. I do not want to be treated like a spoiled brat because I am not one.
Like my name says, I am a smart child born in an autumn month. I was also born under the sign of the dog. I really do not mind that fact. It does not rule my life and therefore, I refuse to let that personality overtake me. My mother always said I belonged in the non-existent year of the cat. I am an outcast. I have a few good friends and I do not date. I always used to laugh at that but now I see that it is true.
