Who is Akayuki?
Akayuki is a Fire-element Warrior in Guardian Tales, the pixel-art action RPG from Kong Studios. She uses a one-handed sword, and she is one of the few characters in the game with a defined history rather than a joke premise: she is a wandering swordswoman from five hundred years ago, petrified mid-journey, and she wakes up in a world she does not understand. Her answer to that is to ignore it and keep doing what she has always done — look for a fight.
She first appears in World 7, in the "Legend of Akayuki" questline, and joins the party after it. Her weapon is called Murasame. In gameplay she is a boss-killer: her passive raises attack by 25% against boss monsters, and her party buff is critical-hit chance. The character herself is older than that, though — she debuted in Kong Studios' earlier game Dungeon Link as "Akayuki the Samurai", which is why she carries a bit of history the rest of the Guardian Tales cast does not.
What she looks like on a page
Akayuki has one of the clearest colour recipes in the whole cast, which makes her a good subject for a colouring page.
| Part | Colour | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Hair | Black | Long, straight, past the waist |
| Eyes | Grey | Small, calm, not expressive |
| Hakama | Red | The largest colour block on the page |
| Tabi and boots | Black | Japanese split-toe socks, not shoes |
| Chest | White | Bandages wrapped across, in place of chest armour |
| Armour | Dark metal | Shoulder and arm pieces only — the chest is deliberately bare |
| Hairpin | Violet | A single flower, small |
| Head ribbon | Red and white | Tied at the back |
| Katana | Steel and black | Murasame, worn at the hip |
Colouring Akayuki
Her design is built on three hard blocks — red, black, white — so the whole page lives or dies on how you handle the red.
- The hakama is not one flat red. It is the biggest single area on the page and the easiest place to ruin it. Lay a mid-red base, then darken the folds where the fabric gathers at the waist and between the legs, and lighten the outer curves where the fabric catches light. A hakama has deep, boxy pleats — those pleats are the shading guide, follow them.
- Black hair needs a shine band. Leave an uncoloured strip running down the crown where the light would hit, and darken toward the tips. Pure black hair with no highlight becomes a hole in the page.
- The white bandages should stay warm. Off-white rather than pure white — the same value as the paper reads as an empty space. A faint grey in the gaps between wraps gives them thickness.
- Keep the violet tiny. One hairpin is the only cool accent on the whole figure. If you spread violet anywhere else, the contrast that makes her design work disappears.
- The sword is the second focal point. Steel-grey blade with a dark handle; the blade should be the brightest thing below the face.
Akayuki coloring pages FAQ
What is Guardian Tales?
A pixel-art action RPG from the Korean studio Kong Studios, released in 2020. It mixes top-down combat with a lot of parody — the game is famous for dropping its characters into references to other games and films. Akayuki is one of its Fire heroes.
Why is Akayuki from 500 years ago?
That is her backstory. She was a wandering swordswoman who got petrified and stayed that way for five centuries, waking up in a world of modern technology she has no interest in learning. It is also why her design reads as a traditional samurai rather than anything fantasy-styled — she is meant to look out of place.
Is Akayuki a samurai or a ninja?
A samurai, and the game is specific about it: red hakama, tabi, a katana, armour pieces on the shoulders and arms. She is often mistaken for a ninja because of the black hair and the small frame, but the outfit is a swordsman's, not a shinobi's.
Are these official Guardian Tales coloring pages?
No. These are fan-made colouring pages. Guardian Tales and its characters belong to Kong Studios, published by Kakao Games. These pages are not licensed or endorsed by either company and are not official merchandise. They are free printable fan art for personal and classroom use.
