Akuma is muscular and tan-skinned with red hair tied in a small top knot, sharp pointed teeth and crimson eyes. He wears prayer beads around his neck, and the "heaven" (天, ten) kanji is typically seen on the back of his outfits. This kanji is featured frequently in Akuma's appearance, most often at the end of a Raging Demon attack, where it burns itself onto the back of his gi top.
Street Fighter X Tekken[]
Player 1 outfit:
Akuma wears a dark blue karate gi, similar in style to those worn by both Ryu and Ken. He either wears brown training gauntlets or wraps his hands with white rope, brown sandals and wears his deceased master Goutetsu's prayer beads around his neck, with a black "heaven" (天, ten) kanji visible on the center bead.
Swap Costume:
Akuma's Swap Costume is Heihachi's Player 1 outfit from Tekken 4, which is a white modified fundoshi along with both the hand and foot wraps and the rope from his primary outfit. Akuma's hair also gains extra white spikes on each sides of his head.
This outfit later became one of his customizations in Tekken 7: Fated Retribution.
Alternate Costume:
Akuma wears his primary outfit and gains dark brown genji armor and greaves, decorated with two red lines running down each side, to cover his karate gi. He also has two flags decorated with demonic symbols on each side. He also wears a black half-mask to cover his mouth and white and red wristbands with a brown trim to match his outfit. He no longer wears sandals, instead fighting barefoot while wearing this outfit.
Tekken 7: Fated Retribution[]
Player 1 outfit:
(See Street Fighter X Tekken Player 1 outfit)
Player 2 outfit:
A palette swap of his Player 1 outfit, Akuma's gi is now scarlet red and the wraps around his hands are now brown instead of white.
Aside from his Player 1 and Player 2 outfits, Akuma has 5 preset outfits that can be chosen or made via the customization screen, and a gold metallic outfit that is unlocked only by purchasing Tekken 7's Season Pass 1 DLC. Akuma can be customized as a god warrior and one of his disguised forms from Pocket Fighter in different colors and designs, which is his Japanese fortune teller attire, known in Tekken 7 as his "Depraved Monk" customization.
- Akuma's Swap Costume from Street Fighter X Tekken has become a generic DLC customization item, it is a white modified fundoshi as originally worn by Heihachi in Tekken 4, but without the foot wraps and the white pointed streaks on his head.
