Åke is a stocky Shinigami of Nordic descent. He is thick and barrel-chested, and has a fair amount of muscle kept on from his years of hard fighting. His build is softened by a layer of fat, most evident around his middle, and he has long limbs for his body. Typical of a long-time warrior, Åke's body is scarred, mostly evident in the numerous laceration scars around his chest, shoulders, and legs. Most notably is the large puncture wound over his liver, through to his back, which he received upon his human death.
