The brother of Ryu’s master, Akuma was obsessed with strength. Using the dark power of the Satsui no Hado, or Surge of Killing Intent, Akuma abandoned his humanity, killing Gouken and living only for the fight. Now he searches for a worthy opponent, with even M. Bison standing no chance. He has particular interest in Ryu, wanting to unleash his inner darkness to see his “true potential.”
