Miko Akita (Born: 24,12,2192 in Kyoto, JP) is an antigravity professional pilot, currently competing in the FX450/FX500 League. She's the youngest even AG pro pilot to dispute a race.
Early years
Miko Akita was born in year 2192 from Shinji Akita, an AG-Systems employee and, later, engineeer, and Fuyu Asai.
Miko debuted in the world of motorsports just 8, in the Japanese AG Karts Championship. She won her first race by the age of 10. She achieved to win three KJ4 class championship in a row, scoring an impressive 12 races/ 10 wins during the last championship. However, she announced her retirement due to school absorptions, refusing to sign many contracts that well-known national semi-pro teams offered.
When 13, her family moved to Tokyo, where AG-Systems HQ is. She attended Garatsuyama High School; she partecipated to many academic athletic competitions, winning the 2208 softball nation-wide league and scoring podiums in several track & field region-wide events. She graduated with honours, excelling in Physichs; however, the need for speed was still strong.
Debut in AG leagues
She moved her first steps back in the world of AG-racing by the age of 17, when the sudden sack of the AG-System's test pilot John Nakamura left the test ship's seat empty. Her father managed to persuade the testing director to let her daugther to drive the ship during the pre-season tests. Akita managed not only to equate Nakamura's lap times, but even to lower 'em of some millesimal of seconds. She was recruited as the new team's test pilot. She signed the proposed contract, without "
deeming about how it would change my life".
She debuted racing during the Anulpha Pass race of the Meltdown event, one of the latest of the 2209 FX400 League. Soichiro Ishibashi suffered of severe wounds when his ship's canopy glass exploded, after beign hit several times by sharpnel and cannon shots during Moa Therma race. Since he wasn't capable to drive an AG ship, he had to left the seat to her young colleague. She scored a 4th place in her first race, and got other promising results scoring another 4th place and then her first career podium on the final championship's race on Sol 2 track. Her young age and strong willing gained her much popularity over the crowds, a popularity of wich AG-System should benefit. She was signed as the main team pilot for the 2210 FX450 League.
But her experience as an AG-System pilot was ill-fated, and didn't least long. After a retirement in the first race on Vineta K caused by engine failure and a 6th place in the second event of the championship caused by airbrakes issues, she suffered a bad spine injuried caused by a ejection system's malfunction: she was expulsed while the ship was going top-speed; the hard impact on the ground of the survivance cell caused her several non-permanent spine damages.
Days after, the sport magazine Tech-G told about an internal sabotage commissioned by the ex main pilot Ishibashi, demoted to the role of test pilot after 4 years of so-so results. The young pilot decided to terminate her contract with a team wich wasn't even "
capable to protect their own pilots".
