Information[]

She was a new star director who was very private about her personal life. When Rei met her, however, she recognized Akane as a teacher at T·A Academy for Girls, who there used the name "Sister Angela" (シスター・アンジェラ).

Akane was directing a new musical in which the Three Lights were the stars, but she was very hard on Seiya, demanding more of him than the others. She wanted to draw out Seiya's full potential, feeling frustrated because he did not perform the musical with as much heart as he did his concerts.

While Seiya was at the studio for an extra practice one evening, Akane took a break to get some coffee and was there confronted by Chuuko Nezu. Akane refused an interview, saying that she did not want her face to be on television and that everything she had to say she said in the works she directed. Annoyed, Nezu revealed herself to be Sailor Iron Mouse and removed Akane's Star Seed, at which point she turned into the Phage Sailor Director. After a battle against Sailor Star Fighter, Sailor Director was turned back to normal by Eternal Sailor Moon.
