Personality: Akuma is a cold and extremely powerful warrior whose sole reason for existing is to hone his fighting skills by battling and destroying strong foes. He rarely displays any sign of emotions or humanity, aside from occasional bursts of anger, and rarely smiles. He, however, will not engage in battle towards helpless people and in some cases may even defend them, either as a righteous calling or an afterthought of conquering a major adversary. The only instance of humanity he has displayed after being drenched in the Satsui no Hado is with Kazumi Mishima, whom he respects, even in battle.

Akuma lives off the land itself and rarely, if ever, interacts with society as a whole. When not doing training in his martial arts, he primarily subsists off wild animals and plants, and takes particular pride in fishing, which Akuma himself sees as a battle between life and death. In few occasions that he needs money, he sells animals and fruit.

He takes his training very seriously and deals brutally with those who dare interrupt him, as seen in his Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike ending. Occasionally, he likes to test himself against worthy rivals (e.g. Gen, Oro).

Akuma can be considered an anti-villain. In spite of his cold personality due to his relentless training in the dark arts of the Satsui no Hado, most of the time, Akuma abides by the code of the warrior, similar to Ryu, Ken, and indirectly his older brother Gouken. He fights to improve his skills and defeat powerful foes - though on rare occasions, he does so to gauge the other's abilities. He also never resorts to killing defenseless or unworthy fighters in cold blood, unlike M. Bison or Evil Ryu. Although he killed his teacher and believed he did the same with Gouken, Akuma did so in combat, not actual murder, and thus can be said to have not transgressed on his principles.

In combat, Akuma, as he often fights with honor, almost never resorts to his true strength, especially if testing another fighter; he only fights warriors that he deems worthy, or the ones he believes have the potential to become such. During the events of Street Fighter Alpha 2, Akuma fought Ryu only to gain insight on his abilities, while in 3rd Strike, he faced Oro in order to test his own strength.

Appearance: Akuma usually wears a dark-colored gi with the sleeves removed (similar to Ryu and Ken); it is often blue, black, or gray, but varies depending on the series or artwork. He has red hair with a topknot, sharp, pointed teeth, and is often bare-footed, though some games have him wearing brown sandals. Depending on the game or piece of art, he either wears a black belt at his waist or a length of rope. Over his hands, he either wears brown training gauntlets or wraps his hands with rope as well (again, depending on the source). He has tanned skin and crimson eyes, and wears his deceased master Goutetsu's prayer beads around his neck, with a visible black "heaven" (天, ten) kanji on the center bead in some games. In Street Fighter Alpha: Generations, he was seen having eyebrows when he was young.
