Akuma (悪魔, Japanese for "Devil", "Demon"), known in Japan every bit Gouki ( 豪鬼 , lit. "Bully Demon" ), is a fictional character and secondary antagonist of the Street Fighter series of fighting games by Capcom. Akuma made his debut in Super Street Fighter II Turbo as a surreptitious grapheme and Boss. In the storyline of the Street Fighter video games, he is the younger brother of Gouken, Ryu's and Ken'southward principal. In some games he as well has an alternate version named Shin Akuma or Shin Gouki ( 真・豪鬼 , the "True Great Demon" ) in Japanese. Since his debut, Akuma has appeared in several subsequent titles and has been well-received by both fans and critics.

Creation [edit]

Akuma was created by request of Noritaka Funamizu to Akira Yasuda when creating a new Street Fighter character. Akuma was designed in order to please fans who were victims of April's Fools in the claims from journalists that there was a hidden character named Sheng Long. Funamizu wanted the character, Akuma, to be based on Ryu'southward pattern. While however being an evil character, Yasuda still wanted to create a major dissimilarity between the regular boss, M. Bison and Akuma.[2]

Akuma has dark cherry hair, night skin tone, glowing red eyes with black sclera, wears prayer beads around his neck, a night gray karate gi and a piece of twine around his waist in lieu of an obi. The kanji "ten" (天) — meaning "Heaven" — tin can be seen on his back when information technology appears during certain win animations. Shin Akuma's appearance is very similar to Akuma'south; for case, in the Street Fighter Alpha series, Shin Akuma had a majestic karate gi instead of a dark gray ane and marginally darker skin tone. Akuma's introduction in Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo stemmed from the evolution team's want to introduce a "mysterious and really powerful" grapheme, with his status as a hidden character within the game resulting from later discussions.[3] When asked regarding the presence of Akuma as a hush-hush grapheme in several of Capcom's fighting games, Capcom's Noritaka Funamizu stated that, while he did not personally support the concept, he said, "Akuma is a character that tin can fit in whatsoever game design nicely".[4] Matt Edwards of Capcom Europe considered Akuma the most powerful Street Fighter character.[v]

Rich Knight of Complex described Akuma as "a grapheme who must constantly be on the offense, because he takes a shit ton of damage when he'due south non."[6]

Akuma's appearance remained consequent until Street Fighter V where his pilus reaches far longer and has grown around his confront, like a lion's mane. Takayuki Nakayama explained that the staff considered multiple designs that were scrapped such every bit a shirtless wait, multiple scars within the body, ane with a cleaved shirt and ane where he carried a baby.[7]

Reception [edit]

Akuma is the boogeyman of the martial arts world. A twisted monster who murdered (sort of) his ain brother to show a bespeak. He wants to bulldoze Ryu to darkness for the sake of competition. He literally tears people's souls apart with his bare hands in a move so out of control that we aren't immune to even see it happen. Yet at the end of the mean solar day, information technology's difficult to even label him as just "evil." He's beyond the duality. He foregoes the ideas of being merciless for the sake of being merciless. He's strangely respectful to children and doesn't kill unless he has reason—either because someone has agreed to a fight to the expiry or because someone outright tries to go after him.

—Gavin Jasper, Den of Geek, 2016[19]

Akuma has received much critical acclaim from various gaming media outlets. Japanese magazine Gamest named him one of their "Top 50 Characters of 1996", in a three-way tie for 37th.[20] He placed starting time in Game Informer'south 2009 list of their "Top Ten Best Fighting Game Characters".[21] Ryan Clements of IGN said in 2009: "Although M. Bison might be thought of every bit a notorious Street Fighter villain, Akuma is clearly the fan-favorite 'bad guy'".[22] Elton Jones of Complex deemed Akuma the "near ascendant fighting game character" in 2012: "Everyone that can lay out M. Bison with ease gets the number-one spot in everything."[23] GamesRadar said of the character in 2013: "He differs from other villains in that his motives aren't inherently evil—but ... he has no qualms with killing his teacher or his own brother in combat."[24] Alex Eckman-Lawn of Topless Robot accounted him the "most diabolical" fighting-game boss: "Few experiences from the pre-Internet video-game era fabricated as striking an impression as the fourth dimension Akuma literally just glided in, murdered M. Bison in a blink, and challenged you, the player, to a existent fight."[25] Bryan Dawson of Prima Games commented, "It'due south hard to imagine any new Street Fighter game without this homo, every bit he adds a sense of evil that even Yard. Bison can't replicate."[26]

Robert Workman of GameDaily rated Akuma eleventh in his 2008 selection of the "Top 25 Capcom Characters of All Time", equally he "summons some of the sickest attacks ever seen in a fighting game."[27] GameSpot readers chose Akuma for the ninth spot in their 2008 choice of the ten best video game villains[28] and the site itself accounted Akuma "the toughest fighter" in the Street Fighter series.[29] Rich Knight of Complex, in 2012, placed Akuma's SSFII Turbo advent runner-up to Shao Kahn in Mortal Kombat 2 as the "coolest boss battle ever": "Akuma rushed into our lives and onto the screen ... and so demolish[ed] yous in seconds."[thirty] Akuma placed 43rd in IGN's selection of the top 100 video game villains, for his "always intimidating" appearance.[31] Ben Lee of Digital Spy named him the sixth-best series character on the grounds that he was "truly exciting to fight against" in Super Street Fighter II Turbo, "and his cold, emotionless personality was utterly terrifying."[32] Paste rated Akuma 23rd in their 2016 ranking of Street Fighter'due south 97 full playable characters, describing him as "a not bad anti-hero to start Ryu and Ken."[33]

Chad Hunter of Circuitous ranked Akuma'south "Raging Demon" among the "25 Most Revolutionary Impale Moves in Video Games" at third: "Akuma radiates flames, grabs his opponent and the screen goes black and all you [hear] is a flurry of hits."[34] Prima Games named it the seventh-"greatest fighting move in video game history" out of 50 in 2014,[35] and Arcade Sushi's Angelo Dargenio considered it "ane of the most well-known super moves in videogame history, spawning several parody moves in multiple fighting games over the years."[36] WhatCulture has named the Raging Demon as the "Well-nigh Iconic Street Fighter Special/Super Move", stating "While the Hadouken attack is undoubtedly the about recognisable Street Fighter special motion, nothing can beat the satisfaction of utterly destroying your opponent past landing the Raging Demon."[37] Gavin Jasper of Den of Geek, in 2016, named Akuma in X-Men: Children of the Atom as the superlative fighting-game invitee character,[38] and while Jason Fanelli of Arcade Sushi considered it "the all-time guest turn he'due south e'er washed," he simultaneously criticized his cameo in Cyberbots: Full Metallic Madness: "Akuma doesn't need to be a giant mech for extra exposure."[39] Chris Hoadley of VentureBeat labeled Akuma one of the "best fighting game clones" in 2014: "Capcom is no stranger to reusing [graphic symbol] models. Ryu has had Ken every bit a rival since the first Street Fighter, and over fourth dimension he would run across more 'shotos'[note one] who had an affinity for karate gis, fireballs, and uppercuts."[xl] GamesRadar's David Houghton rated Akuma'due south Street Fighter 3: tertiary Strike stage among the "27 most amazing fighting game backgrounds": "Gloomily ethereal, black-skied woodland setting with subliminally oppressive fisheye-lens effect? You are definitely going to die."[41]

However, Akuma has often been criticized for his perceived status as an excessively powerful character in the Street Fighter series. Scott Baird of Screen Bluster named him the second-"well-nigh unfairly overpowered fighting game graphic symbol" behind Meta Knight of Super Smash Bros. in 2016, for the authorisation of his offensive attacks that resulted in Akuma existence banned from SSFII Turbo tournaments.[42] [43] GamePro considered Akuma one of the "Most Broken Characters in Videogame History", for his "ridiculously powerful" moves that were "the bane of newbies and veterans akin,"[43] a sentiment that was echoed past Christopher Hooton of Metro in 2013.[44] In 2014, Lucas Sullivan of GamesRadar ranked Akuma eleventh in his list of "12 unfair fighting game bosses that (almost) made usa rage quit" in 2014. "Even if y'all ever do manage to finally defeat Akuma, it somehow doesn't feel earned. It'due south more than like the figurer felt sorry for you."[45] Additionally, Akuma was named by CBR as the "Strongest Street Fighter Character", with comments "In 1996'south Street Fighter Blastoff 2, Akuma evolved into a more powerful form, Shin Akuma, and he evolved into the fifty-fifty more powerful Oni in 2010'due south Super Street Fighter Iv. Since he's able to split mountains in that course, that version of Akuma stands as the most powerful being the Street Fighter universe."[46]

Akuma's Oni incarnation has received a mixed reception. Both characters shared the height spot in Screen Rant'southward rating of the "12 Most Powerful Street Fighter Characters" the aforementioned year. "Akuma alone has destroyed an entire island, so whoever has to stand confronting the unbridled destructive force of Oni, all we can say is God help them."[47] In another Screen Rant's list "Street Fighter: 8 Virtually Powerful (And 8 Nigh Worthless) Characters", Akuma placed first. "Whether he is Oni, Akuma, or something in-betwixt (Shin Akuma, for instance), the night main hands proves that he is at the tiptop of the SF heap in terms of both in-universe power and effectiveness among players who take mastered using him."[48] Notwithstanding, Imran Khan of Paste rated Oni as one of the "all-time worst" series characters: "Oni strips abroad the few bits of Akuma that are actually interesting as a character and turns him into a castaway from a Dragon Ball Z movie in design and development."[49] Randolph Ramsay of GameSpot considered Oni "ane of the least interesting additions" to Super Street Fighter Four, as he utilized moves like to those of other characters.[l]
