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!
i so envy Ken for having a really cute wife *envy envy envy* i wonder if i will find an otaku significant other as cute as her *imagines*
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.
LOL
Wow, she's indeed Nogawa Sakura look-alike O_o
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
You aren't the only otaku with those dreams man... I truly understand how you feel...
Im so jealous...
Successful mangaka - many (Rumiko, Adachi, Kentaro, Kubo Tite, Masashi Kishimoto, etc) . A gorgeous cosplayer as a wife - many . Successful mangaka and a gorgeous cosplayer as a wife - what are the chances really... >_<
I absolutely want to be Ken Akamatsu, because he has thus cute wife. I can let her to wear cosplay clothes which I want. Lol~
that is a trick question right? of course id be Akamatsu Ken. succesful career, a super cute cosplayer as a waifu, who wouldnt want that. what is billions when your wife tolerates otaku behaviour and even cosplays for you. SERIOUSLY.
Man, his waifu is so cute! He's so lucky.
Hmmm... be a mangaka, with a beautiful cosplayer wife, that I am a huge fan of... or Bill Gates. Being a mac lover makes the choice more than easy! ^^
Damn, she is cute. Wonder how they got together... he could totally write a manga about it!!! If I was a guy I would so want her as a girlfriend!!
wow bikini pics at her blog. ('~')
Ken Akamatsu definitely. Heard before his marriage, Kanon was a big fan of Ken Akamatsu... And they met through Kanon's fanmails? XD Cute cosplay girl for wife WANT =/
Definitely would rather be in Akamatsu Ken's position. Argh I'm jealous! :(
Right now, i'm starting to think that nothing is impossible in this "world"(world being japan btw...)
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.
Don't worry 'bout it. You have a right to choose. I'm sure everyone understands.
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!
gosh she is soooooo CUTE!
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.
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
Dunno. Always wondered what it would be like to be the anti-christ... I choose Bill.
If I could....I would be Bill Gates with Ken wife...best of the 2 world. :P
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.
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
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!
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
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.
I'm an artist first, spiritual focus second, a techie third, and businessman dead last. matter of fact, screw business, hate that subject.
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).
Bill Gates? Who is it? Well let me introduce myself. I am Ken Akamatsu Wannabe, and those pics is my wife. Thanks. *joke*
