Who Akuma is remains a mystery. Anyone who gets close enough to discover his origin would likely not live long enough to tell the tale. What is known is that he practices a system of martial arts unmistakably similar to, yet profoundly different from, the arts practiced by Ryu and Ken. In battle, Akuma is consumed by a 'killing intent' - the need to defeat and utterly destroy one's opponent, no matter the cost. Any who have seen this phenomenon in person have met their end.
