Akutagawa has a slim build and very pale skin. He often covers his face with his hand due to his frequent coughing. He has short, choppy black hair with side bangs that reach his chin and turn white at the tips. His eyes are sharp, somewhat baggy, and a dark empty grey. Akutagawa is a very strict person, who is sure of what he wants and doesn't want. He is not a very emotional person, but a very stable one.
