Akuma was once not the demonic warrior he is today. Long ago, he and his brother Gouken began training under their master, Goutetsu. Goutetsu trained them in the art of Shotokan Karate. Gouken used the art as it was truly meant, to obtain inner peace by using it to achieve his full outward potential. He went on to become a teacher himself, training two young warriors named Ryu and Ken. Akuma chose a different path. He lacked discipline and wanted to achieve his fighting prowess more quickly than Gouken had. He began drawing off of the darker side of the shotokan arts, and perfected his methods of them to bring death. Akuma began drawing on the dark powers, increasing his own abilities. His appearance and fighting style became very demonic. Feeling he needed to be even stronger, Akuma unsealed a death art that had been locked away for centuries. He didn't care that the user himself could be killed by using it. He believes that the true warrior will do anything possible to win. Akuma used his power to first kill Goutetsu, then his own brother Gouken. He then began travelling the world, looking for the best fighters around the globe and killing them one by one, increasing his own power each time. After hearing of this new Mortal Kombat tournament, Akuma immediately decides that he will compete in it. It is his opportunity to battle against the best fighters of three different realms, and prove himself supreme among them.
