Akihiro Nagata is the current Ace of Red Dragon, one of the most prolific factions of all time. Though he is in the twilight of his career, he remains one of the top ranked Gladiators in the world. He has remained a member of Red Dragon ever since he was signed as a fifteen year old alongside his future best friend, Kensei Hikari.

The two of them were signed as a tandem, and rose up the ranks together. Under Kensei’s lead and with Akihiro at his side, they took Red Dragon on one of the greatest faction runs that Wargames had ever seen, holding the top spots in all three leagues simultaneously. They ruled over Wargames for the better part of a decade, and over that time, they only grew closer.

Unfortunately, nine years ago, Kensei had his life taken from them, leaving Akihiro in despair. But Akihiro took it upon himself to pick up where Kensei left off, becoming the Ace of Red Dragon and helping to usher in the new generation that would take over from him some day.
