Akina Kirisu (桐須 あきな, Kirisu Akina^?) is Mafuyu's and Miharu's aunt and Natsumi Kirisu's mother.

Etymology

• The name Akina is written in hiragana (あきな), which has no special meaning. However, when written in kanji (明菜, 明奈, 明名, 明南, 秋菜, 秋名 or 亜稀菜), it could possibly mean:
  • 明菜 - "bright, light, clear" (明) (aki) and "vegetables, greens" (菜) (na).
  • 明奈 - "bright, light, clear" (明) (aki) and "apple tree" (奈) (na).
  • 明名 - "bright, light, clear" (明) (aki) and "name, noted, distinguished, reputation" (名) (na).
  • 明南 - "bright, light, clear" (明) (aki) and "south" (南) (na).
  • 秋菜 - "autumn" (秋) (aki) and "vegetables, greens" (菜) (na).
  • 秋名 - "autumn" (秋) (aki) and "name, noted, distinguished, reputation" (名) (na).
  • 亜稀菜 - "second, Asia" (亜) (a), "rare, uncommon, unusual, phenomenal" (稀) (ki) and "vegetables, greens" (菜) (na).
• Akina's surname Kirisu means "paulownia" (桐) (kiri) and "ought, by all means, necessarily" (須) (su).
