Komachi Akimoto is kind and shy, and likes to read books and write. However, once she is angered enough, she will snap and release her temper. Along with her best friend, Karen Minazuki, Komachi is also a popular senior at her school. She is a volunteer at the school library, along with Karen, and often spends her time there writing stories. Her dream is to become a writer, and she exhibits particular talent in this: though he harshly criticized about the first half of it, Natts praised her first completed story upon the seventh revision, and he does not give praise lightly. Her parents own a traditional Japanese sweetshop, which has the same name as her, Komachi. Her alter ego is the Cure of Tranquility, Cure Mint.
She is voiced by Ai Nagano who also Cutie Honey in Cutie Honey the Movie, Suzie Wong in Digimon Tamers, Lute and Amelia in Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones and Miki Kurosaki in Digimon Data Squad.
