History
At a young age, the man known as Akuma once trained alongside his brother Gouken under the martial arts master Goutetsu in the ways of the highly dangerous Ansatsuken. But, after a dispute of what direction the brothers should take their training, Akuma left to train on his own and embraced the art of the Satsui no Hado, the physical manifestation of killing intent. After mastering this evil art, Akuma would kill his master and take his title as master of the Ansatsuken. This led to him clashing against his brother on several occasions, even leaving him in a coma at one point. Despite such, he has devoted his entire life to combat and strengthening his ability through finding worthy adversaries across the globe.
