Her rigging consists of her funnel-mast set worn like a backpack, a handheld 12.7 cm twin gun mount, and carried over a shoulder strap. Her shoes are armored, and she wears dual torpedo turrets on her thighs, like many in the Fubuki-class.
She refers to the Admiral as a "Shitty Admiral" and is seemingly always angry about something, stemming from her ill experiences during the war. In some fanworks, calling the admiral "shitty" is so ingrained in her, she even calls the admiral "shitty admiral" when she's in love, like other girls might say "darling". She's typically portrayed as a tsundere with almost no dere, at least not verbally, or a "bitter-tongued tsukkomi. Oftentimes, she's seen playing a big sister role to Ushio, who is often portrayed as the most childish and clumsy of the 7th Des Div.
Along with the rest of the 7th DesDiv, Akebono has been one of the most frequent targets of limited-time special event artwork.
