This site is a special tribute to the fans of Akuma or known as Gouki Long. All history and secrets of Akuma is listed down here for your reference. Now you can experience the power within Gouki ! Enjoy and Have fun.

The Legend

During the early years, Master Goutetsu is a master of Shotokan Karate, which was once a killing art for assassins. This killing arts lets you concentrate your body energy or chi to one murderous blow. Knowing that, Goutetsu took out the killing chapter of the art and converted the art into a self defensive martial art.

He then taught the art to both of his students Gouken Long(know as Shen Long) and his brother Gouki Long (Akuma). Gouken grew up and pass on the art to his loyal students Ryu, Ken and Dan. Where else his brother is secretly craving for power and finally discovered the killing chapter that was forbidden by his former master.

The killing chapter enforces the powers of the darkside, the more you practice it the more power you'll get but in the end the power will consume you. While perfecting the killing chapter Gouki was unable to control the dark power till one day he changed into a demonic state. Noticed by his brother, Gouken tried his best to stop him, but in the end killed by him. Infact, his name also means a great meaning to his character, Gou means "Great" and Ki means "Demon" in Japanese. The mysterious symbol in his back is a Kanji, Japanese letter saying "Ten".

It means "Heaven", "Sky", "Destiny" and "Fate" and in Akuma's context it means "Rest in Peace". Akuma usually uther some words after and during the battle. The word "Shoushi" (said as "shoush") usually means "Worthless" after the winning the battle and "Metsatsu!" is one of the killing art of Shotokan Karate which can inflict critical damages. During the game, Akuma will warp to the opponent and start a series of combo hits draining lots of energy from the the lifespan. Akuma indeed is still favourite among most of the SF fans and it does'nt supprise me that even X-men and Marvel Super Heroes characters are no match for him!

Information above is picked from various FAQs found in Gamefaqs website. Special Thanks to whoever is contributing the FAQs.
