Akito Hyuga (Japanese: 日向アキト, Hepburn: Hyūga Akito) is the protagonist of the original video animation (OVA) Code Geass: Akito the Exiled produced by Sunrise. Akito, a 17-year-old soldier who has lost his hometown, is a lieutenant in the European military from a unit consisting of teenagers under the command of Leila Malcal. Akito participates in a military operation on the European battlefront as a pilot of a mecha labeled as Knightmare Frame. Akito is cursed with a supernatural "Geass" caused by his half brother Shin Hyuga Shaing that he controls at will. During these mind attacks, Akito goes berserker in battlefield, thus receiving the title of "Hannibal's Ghost" (ハンニバルの亡霊). Akito sees spirits of his fallen comrades as part of his post-traumatic stress disorder, and during the story, he tries to overcome his grief.
The OVA's director Kazuki Akane created Akito, portraying as stoic in the series' beginning and showing his growth through his relationship with Leila. Akito is voiced by Miyu Irino in Japanese and Micah Solusod in English. His younger persona is voiced by Ryōka Yuzuki in Japanese and Apphia Yu in English.
Despite early negative comments from the media that Akito was too brooding, journalists praised Akito's character arc in the series not only due to how he faces his past but also stands out in the franchise in general for avoiding the common dark narratives from the television series, Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion.
