- —Akuma
Akuma ("Devil" in Japanese), known in Japan as Gouki, is a popular fighter as well as a popular character in the Street Fighter series and UDON comics. He is known as "The Supreme Master of the Fist".
Bio
Akuma is the wielder of the Satsui no Hado, and a man called "the master of the fist," who has slaughtered opponents with the ferocity of a demon. He searches for strong opponents to do battle with in a game of life or death, and he has sent numerous fighters to their demise. He has a keen interest in Ryu, the disciple of Akuma's brother Gouken, as he has the potential to bring forth the Satsui no Hado from inside him. Because of that, he appears now to guide Ryu to the box in the Antarctic.
Appearance
Akuma wears a black gi, but varies in the series (occasionally displayed as blue in artwork). He has red hair, sharp, pointed teeth, and is often bare-footed, though some games have him wearing brown sandals. He has a tanned skin and crimson eyes, and wears his deceased master Goutetsu's prayer beads around his neck, with a visible black Ten kanji on the center bead in some games. He was seen with a black belt around on his gi, but is now replaced by a tightened rope around his gi. On the back of his gi, he has a red Ten kanji that sometimes appears glowing during certain win poses. He is an inch taller than Ryu.
Personality
Akuma is a seemingly brutal, angry, quite honorable and proud warrior who is always training and has contempt for true weakenings. He is rarely, if ever, seen smiling and enjoys fighting fromidable warriors, such as Ryu. He also hates it when somebody actually interferes with his training. He is very serious in a fight and enjoys getting stronger. In his conversations with many fighters, he tends to talk about their fists and his own. He truly hates Gouken for not using their fighting style as it is intended to be used, and hates him even more for sealing off the Satsui no Hadou in Ryu. He is very independent and fights alone, and thus has no true partner in SFXT.

Trivia
- Akuma is the only character with 2 Super Arts, probably to compensate him having low health.
- His biography states Akuma is guiding Ryu to Pandora, which is contradicted by his arcade intro, where Ryu is not mentioned.
