Akane Kimidori

Akane Kimidori (木緑あかね Kimidori Akane) is Arale's 'bad-girl' friend and Tsukutsun Tsun's girlfriend in Dr. Slump. Akane met Arale in Miss Yamabuki's class when Arale was assigned to be desk partners with her. After the school day was over Akane became annoyed with Arale as she followed her after school to where she met up with her friends Taro and Peasuke. Arale quickly gained Akane's respect and, along with Taro and Peasuke, accepted Arale when they saw Arale's strength, and eventually she became Arale's best friend. Akane speaks to the gang while at the coffee pot about what their plans are for spring break. Akane tells everyone that their choices were all lame and boring. Later on she was pulled over for speeding by Taro, just prior to Goku's warning of the Red Ribbon Army being in Penguin Village. Akane tries to test out the Flying Nimbus but it rejects her because she isn't of pure heart. She then goes to tell Tsukutsun about Goku but he dosn't believe her. In the remake of Dr. Slump Akane's hair is changed from blonde to redhead (making her hair the same color as her sister Aoi). Akane's personality is very similar to Bulma. Her annoyance with Arale at the beginning of Dr. Slump is almost the same way Bulma was with Goku in the beginning of Dragon Ball. Her relationship with Tsukutsun is similar to Bulma's relationship with Yamcha and they are both seen riding scooters or motorcycles a lot.
