History
At some point in her life, her parents abandoned her at the Hyakuya Orphanage which was run by the Brotherhood of a Thousand Nights, a religious organization infamous for its cruel experimentation on orphans.

Prologue
Shortly after Yu's arrival at the orphanage, the director suddenly began to bleed from her nose and mouth and collapsed to the ground.

The adults perished, Third Progenitor Krul Tepes led the vampire invasion on Tokyo. For the next four years, the orphans survived as livestock for the vampires in the vampire capital of Sanguinem, which is located under Kyoto.

She is happy to see Yu return to their home in the vampire city, and shares the news of what Akane is preparing. On their way out of Sanguinem she is in awe of the view of the city and asks Mika where are they going, and why they will be saying goodbye to this world.

Arriving at the exit, it is revealed as a trap by Ferid Bathory who begins his murder of the orphans by draining Ako of her blood first.

Four years later she is remembered by Yu when his path is blocked by Ferid and he remembers him murdering his family. Ako is also visualized when Kureto is reading Yu's background and how his family were killed during their getaway attempt.

When Mika is being defended by Shinoa, Yoichi, Kimizuki and Mitsuba, he thinks how they are defending him because they know he is Yu's family. Ako is visualized playing football with the other orphans where they were inviting him to play as well.
