He shows nearly no emotion even in the worst situations. If you’re having trouble finding the full costume set for Akuma, you can try finding the individual pieces in stores around you. You’ll need a blue t-shirt which you can modify by cutting off the sleeves and cutting open the neck of the shirt to expose the torso. You’ll also need a pair of matching blue baggy pants with a rope belt to bring the outfit together. For the hair, you can either dye your own hair or find a wig similar to Akuma’s hair and style it similarly.

About Akuma
Akuma was born in Japan but when he was born is still unknown. He’s cold and ruthless caring only about further honing his fighting skills while challenging his foes. Except for the sudden bursts of anger he shows from time to time, Akuma shows practically no emotion or mercy towards those he’s fighting against in the video game Super Street Fighter II Turbo. He takes his training quite seriously and if you get in his way, Akuna will deal with you brutally.
The street fighter refers to himself at times as the “denizen of hell” along with with other names that are thought to be the result of the Satsui no Hado taking a toll on his mind. Akuma usually abides by the code of the warrior and simply fights to improve his skills. But in some instances he’ll do it to gauge the ability of others.
