The Akame School was one of the three main families in the Isshin Art, one of the five schools in the Raiden Gokaden.
History[]
Over 500 years ago, Akame Mitsunaga was a practitioner of the Isshin Art when Futsu Masayoshi approached them to share forging techniques. Mitsunaga, alongside Kaedehara Kagemitsu and Niwa Nagamitsu, became Masayoshi's apprentices.[1]
Mitsunaga eventually became the head of the Isshin Art. However, due to the Akame School's goal of manufacturing the most lethal blades possible, and an inherent "evil" in many of its members, their swords were deemed undesirable by the authorities. Only three generations after Mitsunaga, the Akame School's leadership over the Isshin Art was revoked.[2]
Around 100 years ago, the Case of the Eccentric occurred. Akame Kanenaga was amongst the swordsmiths who chose to take refuge with the Fatui after failing to produce the Goshintou blade for the Raiden Shogun. He changed his name and entered exile in Snezhnaya, where he made a humble living.[2] After he learned that the Isshin Art collapsed after the abandonment of most of its bladesmiths, he realized that the Fatui had tricked him and spent the rest of his life forging the sentient blade Kagotsurube Isshin, which he hoped would prove the Isshin Art's worth to the people of Inazuma once more.[3]
Kanenaga died in Snezhnaya,[3] potentially bringing an end to the Akame lineage.

Trivia[]
- In Kagotsurube Isshin's description, the Akame School (Japanese: 赤目一門) does not follow the same naming scheme as the Kaedehara Clan (Japanese: 楓原一族) or Niwa Clan (Japanese: 丹羽一族). Both 一門 and 一族 can be translated as "clan."
