Llokita

Llokita is the het ship between Lloyd and Akita from the Ninjago fandom.

Canon
After Lloyd sets out to find Zane in “An Unlikely Ally”, Lloyd travels the forest and is surrounded by wolves. Just then, a white wolf with red markings attacks one of them and makes them flee. The green ninja says that he never saw a wolf like her, and immediately the wolf snarls at him. Lloyd thinks she is hungry and he is ready to fight back. He throws the skewered fish Jay gave him before he departed to the wolf, asks for a truce, and went on his way. After surviving an avalanche, the white wolf came to him again and the ninja thanks her for saving his life. He follows her through the cold, eventually finding the Land Bounty. When Lloyd contemplates about going home after finding Zane, the wolf goes in the Bounty and stays with the ninja. Later, they set off to find the mech that can give them “a chance against the Ice Emperor”.

In “The Message”, Lloyd shares her about his father and then nicknames her “Red” after thinking about mostly male names. They run to the direction of mech once his tracker’s beeping has grown stronger. Despite the wolf feeling a bit worried, the ninja assures her and asks her nicely to continue the search. After approaching some bones, they get chased by an ice bird. At one point, Lloyd used his power to save “Red” from falling rocks, while the wolf does takes on the bird when it picked up the ninja with its beak. Hiding from a cave, they were able to find the Titan mech, but with Zane missing. They then listen to the nindroid’s final message, ending with a confession to P.I.X.A.L. Lloyd repairs the mech and uses his powers to put it in working operation, while “Red” stands idly by, even during the quick fight against the ice bird. After asking again nicely, the wolf hops aboard the mech and they continue their search for Zane.

In “Secret of the Wolf”, Lloyd begins to shares things that have been on his chest while thinking that “Red” would not mind or would be able to understand him, but somehow feels comfortable to talk about his father and Harumi. The wolf was not pleased of being subjected to the green ninja’s life story or the events that happened between him and the people who hurt him. At one point, she warns him of storm clouds, motivating them to “pick up the pace” and “keep moving”. During a standoff with an Ice Behemoth, “Red” fell unconscious, but Lloyd was able to bring it down the icy lake. He uses the mech to make a makeshift shelter to keep him and the wolf warm, and goes to sleep. At waking up, the ninja terrifies himself when the wolf turned into a human girl, with the same bandage he put. She introduces himself as Akita, a formling. They argue about trust issues, but she meant no harm and does not care about his talkativeness. They ask themselves to go away from each other, but both wanted to go to the Ice Emperor. They later apologized after the ninja told her about her injury. She admits she had told nothing to him, and wants to share her tale with him.

At the end of their journeys, Akita gave Lloyd a kiss on the cheek to say goodbye before he departed for home. Though her brother Kataru expressed doubts that she would ever see Lloyd again, Akita felt certain that one day they would reunite.

Fanon
This pairing is fairly popular. Fans tend to ship together for their character development, despite a miss for possible romantic interation in a later Ninjago season. They tend to pair the two together since Akita does not have other characters to ship with. As of December 2021, eleven fan-made works exist on Archive of Our Own. A handful of fan-art also exists for this pairing.

Rival ships include Llorumi (Lloyd×Harumi) and Lloya (Lloyd×Nya). Those who do ship Llokita would think Akita developed her bond with the ninja more than Harumi despite her betrayal, and since Nya is already in a relationship with Jay.
