About Me


                                                         AC6 Launch Trailer

     

     Hi. I'm Kaede Akikawa. 

     I'm a cyber-security professional based in SouthEast Asia. I write in my free time. 


     Favorite Book:  Hexwood (Diana Wynn Jones, 1993) 

     Favorite Movie:  It's either Ballerina (2025) or Good Boy (2025) 

     Favorite Tv show:  Chernobyl (HBO, 2019) 

     Favorite Food: It's either Japanese Ramen or Pizza. Malaysia's Roti Canai is a close second. 

     Favorite Drink: Barcadi Rum and Coke on the rocks. 

   

      I like to read Star Wars and Military Sci-Fi. That inspired me to write my book 'Revenant Stars'. The X-Wing series of novels by Kevin J Anderson, and anything by John Scalzi are stand outs.  I'm also a fan of Brandon Sanderson's Mist-Born, as in my youth, I used to love the Ocean Eleven's trilogy. (jewel heist) I alo read a lot of Dianna Wynne Jones novels. I am also a fan of Neil Gaiman's Sandman novels. I am also a fan of anything by Raymond E Feist. 

  

      I'm also inspired by the Fromsoft and Bandai Namco video game, Armoured Core 6, and other Fromsoft titles like Bloodborne and Sekiro. I'm also a fan of cyberpunk. 


     Hobbies: Video games (Previously. Last game I played was Armoured Core 6. I like the first Death Stranding, and the Cyberpunk 2077 base game very much.  I also played several of Fromsoft's other titles like Bloodborne (including the DLC), Sekiro, and base game Elden Ring.  I enjoy power-lifting at the gym, and reading and writing in my free time. I am also partial to films and tv shows.  I enjoy the first Dune (2021) movie by Daniel Villeneuve, but generally for films I tend to like horror like Good Boy, Long Legs and Weapons. I also enjoy action like the John Wick movies and the hit series Ballerina, as well as the F1 movie staring Brad Pitt as Sonny Hayes.  I used to love watching True Detective Season 1, for how great the writing was, and its exploration of how dark the human psyche can get. 


    Currently reading: Tokyo Ueno Station, by Yu Miri


    Next up on my reading list:  'Zheng' by up coming Malaysian author, Chris Teh
