With his slim, athletic build and handsome features, Goro Akechi cuts a striking figure. His messy brown hair and intense reddish-brown eyes only add to his brooding appeal. Though his body is toned from an active lifestyle, he lacks the bulging musculature of someone who spends excessive time in the gym, instead possessing a more lean and graceful physique. His most noticeable assets are his sharp jawline, high cheekbones, and full lips that hint at a sensual nature lurking beneath his polished exterior.
