Akito is the head of the Sohma clan. Akito is very frail and has poor health.
He often runs fevers and rarely walks out of the main house other than to greet some of the
Zodiac members, such as Yuki and Shigure, that live in the outside world.
Akito has a definite mean streak and has physically and emotionally scarred many members of the Sohma family, but Akito's rule in the Sohma clan is absolute, and none dare oppose him. While Akito isn't cursed by any of the vengeful spirits (mononoke) of the Zodiac, Akito has been revealed (Volume 11) as playing the role of the Jade Emperor (God) from the stories about the origins of the Chinese Zodiac.
A possible part of Akito's curse was that Akito would only live to be 30 years old. Obsessive and somewhat mad. At a certain point in the Zodiac's life, Akito wishes to force them to live within the Sohma compound with him for the rest of their lives in a never-ending "banquet". He even describes himself as the "Master of Their (the Zodiac) Souls". He also has a definite hatred for Kyo Sohma, the Cat, who he believes should be isolated for the rest of his life.
It is only after assurance from Shigure that Tohru can be trusted with the family secret that she is allowed to stay. Akito has no choice but to order Tohru's memory erased should she fail to uphold her end of the bargain. Most of the Sohma family is afraid of Akito and will follow his orders no matter what their personal feelings may be.
Akito is a cruel person who doesn't care for anyone else. He gets sick very often and is watched over by Hatori Sohma, who is a doctor for the family. The cause of his sickness comes from the fact that he won't live past the age of thirty. He is the head of the house is the person who takes the whole weight of the family. In effect, it puts a lot of pressure on him. He does not turn into any animals.
In the manga, it is eventually revealed that Akito is actually female.

what am I doing?
The guys wanted to go camping. People know that I can't. But Shigure said that they've been planning to go camping since the start of June. I say 'let them.' If I'm fit to go camping, I wouldn't want to, anyway. Living under nature's providence is too troublesome for me.
When Shigure heard that I'd rather stay home and let them camp, he changed their plans. Apparently, even Kureno-san and other Sohmas are being influenced on an outing. I don't know where they want to go besides the woods. Shigure says that they need vacation. I say 'let them.' I don't need vacation. I'm always on vacation anyway.
Shigure told me that a lot of Sohmas, the "cool" Sohmas, are going on a trip. I wonder who these cool Sohmas are. Judging from the people who are going on this trip so far, I'd say every adult Sohma I know is going. I don't know if I could be called an adult. I don't see any reason why they couldn't go. I say 'let them.' It's okay if I don't go with them, right? What's the reason? They wouldn't want a grouch or a snob like me to a party.
No matter what I do, I can't seem to fit in anyway. When I try to join in the conversation, the people feel stiff; they couldn't act natural. And when I try not to do something, everyone thinks I'm upset with something; an awkward and tense feeling follow. So what should I do? I say 'let them.'
How time goes by so fast, I'm dumbfounded. When time passes by, it brings change along with it. Where did the past Akito go? I wonder. If change is the only permanent thing in this world, are we ever changing? Does this mean that I'm a different Akito? Shigure and the others are still undecided whether to push things through. I can feel that they want to go on this trip so bad and that's why I've been really encouraging them to go. I wasn't mad. I'm not. Maybe the point of their trip is different. Wait. Come to think of it... maybe it is truly different. Seeing that they want to go so bad, seeing that they couldn't go because I wouldn't go with them, if the point of their trip is for me to go with them, I say 'let them.' end of discussion, right?
Keep quiet. 9:09 PM
