This is Akamatsu Ken's wife Kanon. For those who dont know, Akamatsu Ken is the illustrator of Love Hina - you can see the couple in action in this previous article. Ken makes billions drawing manga, lives in a high rise (see that previous article) and is married to a gorgeous cosplayer. Would you rather be Bill Gates or Akamatsu Ken?

Clearly Akamatsu Ken, always wanted to be able to draw an with all the bonuses he has, it's not even a competition (besides he must have access to endless otaku stuff)

Dammit - lucky git! Its not everyday someone can have a wife that tolerates otaku behaviour, let alone one who is super cute and dresses up in cosplay!

Choose who to be? I would KILL Bill Gates to be Akamatsu-sensei... Then again I can't. All those OS-tans would then be without a father.

Haven't seen that many pictures of Sakura Nogawa but from what I've seen in her site, I think they don't really look alike. ^^ Oh, and I love Sakura Nogawa in Ar tonelico.

Trust me, she's the splitting image of Nogawa Sakura O_o Check out youtube for her video. They are really like sisters O_o

Would definitely prefer to be Ken Akamatsu. I want a girl who can accept the otaku habits of mine and still support me in what I do (like Kanata of Lucky Star). Feel free to laugh at this otaku. :0

Sorry for being a traitor and this is a very difficult choice for me to make, but I'd rather actually be Bill Gates. That girl is certainly really moesome and selling billions of mangas would certainly be a nice career, but to be honest I'm more of a technical geek. With billions of dollars to back me I WOULD change the world of technology. One of the first things I would do is make Web Development IDE focused on Pear, Ajax and Python. If the first two were just a little better documented and Python was better known the internet would completely change it's shape. Maybe the internet could finally do away with all the mediocre, self-proclaimed 'web designers' that don't even know what Ajax and DOM is. Also; sorry for the little geekgasm...but I am a Geek before I'm an Otaku; but I am definitely both.

Tough question: Ken is awesome; and to imply that I'd be living in Ken's shoes would mean I'd be living in a high rise, with a gorgeous wife and great drawing talents. That's a toughy. On the other hand: Build gates has millions of M$ haters... but he does have money. And lets face it, even if you disagree, money sadly does by happiness in life... But I wouldn't want to be filthy rich, so I'd take the Ken route!

To be truthful I would be Bill Money? Actually no. I want to be "him" in terms of powers at my command. Although I can see being Ken Akamatsu would bring a good life. I cannot settle thusly without having some kind of "paying back" if you will. I won't say that drawing manga isn't enough. But I think Bill's resources would enable me to do things I really want. of course it would consist of much more than just releasing OS every 3 years or so.
(ID #74311) Posted on 2008/03/01 01:54
definitely Mr. Ken Akamatsu. He is rich enough. And I guess they are both fatally busy. So, ya, the point of this question is which wife i would chose!

Hmm...I've been a techie longer than I have been into Japanese pop culture. In my view, Akamatsu-san's life looks a lot more interesting to me than Bill Gates. Sure Mr. Gates has lots of money and is behind a lot of humanitarian project which is something I like. However Bill Gates is a business man and not a techie like myself. I would make a terrible pure business person. I just don't see the tech world as Bill Gates see it. Mr. Gates was the head of a powerful company, but that doesn't always relate directly to being a powerful person. Many people don't get that point. Anyhow, Akamatsu-san works hard and appears to be giving a lot to his family. That is what I want, so I would be Akamatsu-san.

I shouldn't be so male only thinking about this topic. I have a feeling Kanon-san is making lots of money as well. Wow, what a team! That must be interesting to work in the same industry and doing well in it.

I want to be... none. But I'd like a wife like Akamatsu Ken's wife. :D
(ID #74344) Posted on 2008/03/01 03:40
Dunno. Always wondered what it would be like to be the anti-christ... I choose Bill.
(ID #74347) Posted on 2008/03/01 03:45
If I could....I would be Bill Gates with Ken wife...best of the 2 world. :P
(ID #74359) Posted on 2008/03/01 04:28
Ken, no question. You had me at "makes billions drawing manga". Is that billions of yen or billions of dollars? Either way, just a tenth of that would be enough.
(ID #74382) Posted on 2008/03/01 06:11
Is it just me or has he trained his wife to be an otaku's dream come true?

moral of the story.... learn to draw.. draw very well.. such that your works print money
(ID #74434) Posted on 2008/03/01 09:33
Who cares about being either Gates or Akamatsu. i'd rather be Akamatsu's waifu! In doing that, i'd have unlimited access to all his merchandise(figs more importantly), works and all other things otaku!
(ID #74440) Posted on 2008/03/01 09:52
He likes to draw mangas of abusive lolis, and she likes to dress up as a loli! They're made for each other! personally though I'd rather be Howard Hughes
(ID #74445) Posted on 2008/03/01 10:22
Well, being someone with plans to take over the world, I'd have to say I would rather be in Bill's position, but I wouldn't want to BE him, lol, I'd rather be me. Plus I'd rather be able to read Akamatsu's manga, so I can't really if I AM him.

Guess not knowing about them in detail helps me not being in despair or to develop a serious case of envy. Hmm. Oh, sorry. I'd prefer to be Ken Akamatsu... He seems so relaxed and still loves what he does, does not have much of social pressure (I guess?) and has a successful career in a cool domain (and so on).
