AkaKen

AkaKen is the slash ship from the between Haikyu!! fandom.

Canon
Akaashi is the vice-captain at Fukurodani while Kenma is at Nekoma. Both characters are 2nd years and also the setters of their teams.

During the first time out of the Fukurodani vs Nekoma match, Kenma paused next to Akaashi and told him his observation on how on point Bokuto's line shots are. Akaashi replied by saying they both knew how unpredictable Bokuto could be. Akaashi later noticed when Kenma and Kuroo switched places while blocking Bokuto.

After Akaashi succeeded in encouraging Bokuto to do a cross shot, he smiled up at Kenma as Nekomata praised Akaashi for getting Bokuto back up on his feet.

Fanon
This ship is considered a rare pair as the two don't often interact outside of the Land VS Air OVA. One topic in fanwork is using cats and owls, due to the characters' teams. Many people ship it along with BoKuro and it is rivaled by BokuAka and KuroKen. Fans view the two of them as tired boys and think they should stick together.
