Akuma: Street Fighter
built 613 days ago
Akuma originally appeared in Super Street Fighter II Turbo as a secret character and hidden boss. He has red hair, wears prayer beads around his neck, and wears a black gi (occasionally displayed as blue in artwork). The kanji 'ten' (天) - meaning "sky", "heaven", or "providence" - can be seen on his back when it appears during certain win animations. Capcom had stated that the symbol on his back meant "immortal" for Akuma even though there are many different translations.

Akuma is in scale with other Street Fighter action figures. Nearly the same height as brother Gouken, Akuma is taller than Ken, all the female figures, about the same height as M.Bison, Sodom. Somewhat taller than Adon and Guile. He is shorter than T. Hawk, Balrog and Sagat.

Street Fighter II V (1996) - Supposedly a running gag amongst the series' animators, Akuma has appeared as a part of many crowd scenes. Some notable appearances include being part of a group of criminal assassins in Hong Kong; standing in the baggage retrieval area of an airport in Bangkok, Thailand; and seeing off Ken and Ryu as they leave a small village in India.
