Profile
General:
His fighting style is Bajiquan,
a Chinese martial art (pronounced "Hakkyoku-ken" in Japanese). Canonically,
he won the second World Fighting Tournament (Virtua Fighter 2). Akira strives
for perfection and will drive himself relentlessly to master his techniques.
He seeks worthy opponents to fight in order to find flaws in his skills
to further attain mastery.
In the original Virtua Fighter, Akira serves as the assistant instructor at Yuki Budokan, and is known to be hot-blooded and impulsive by nature. He also can be naive and intemperate. After completing his training under his grandfather's tutelage at the age of 23, he went on a quest to test his abilities. When he got word of the 1st World Fighting Tournament, he decided to enter and test his abilities. Aoi Umenokouji was a childhood friend of his.

Comment:
He is, and always
was, the "Ryu" of Virtua Fighter...
A straight-edge, serious, karate dude. Yes, we've seen it before, but he
manages to do his series some justice due to his cool/unique fighting style.
He's developed some badass moves over the years which is why Virtua
Fighter just wouldn't be the same without him. But yeah, he's just
Akira... Nothing fancy, just Akira.
