History: Akuma and his brother Gouken were students of Goutetsu. Goutetsu taught a nameless life-threatening martial art, which incorporates elements of Karate, Judo, and Kempo. He also taught the Shun Goku Satsu (literally Instant Hell Murder), a death technique which, although incredibly powerful, puts the user in considerable danger.

As the brothers progressed under Goutetsu's tutelage, a dispute arose on the true nature of their fighting style and the path to master it. Gouken, unable to accept the violent nature and the Satsui no hadou of his fighting style, left Goutetsu to begin his own dojo, however Goutetsu did not stop his student Gouken from leaving and even allowed him build his own dojo. Akuma continued Goutetsu's teachings and vowed to use their fighting style as it was intended.

In order to learn Shun Goku Satsu, Akuma embraced the principle of Satsui no Hadō or (The Surge of the Intent to Kill/Killing Intent). Through Satsui no Hadō, Akuma was forced to give up any compassion he held towards other human beings. In addition, Akuma realized his limits as a martial artist could be expanded, and left Goutetsu's guidance of enlightenment to train alone to gain more power, but after embracing the Satsui no Hadou to his fullest extent, he develop a lust to fight to the death, unlike Goutetsu who was able to use the Satsui no Hadou without given in to the dark side effects of it and not give in to his fullest extent, after he came back from his island, he went back to Goutetsu, he fought and killed him with Shun Goku Satsu. Akuma, believing that he was the true master of the Art, took the prayer beads of his dead master and placed it on his neck, when Gouken went to visit his Master to see how he was doing, he only found his body lifeless and saw his brother was not looking human at all. Gouken, who was in shocked to see that his younger brother took the life of their master, yelled at Akuma for killing Goutetsu. Akuma however, said nothing and just left Gouken and Goutetsu and went into the Woods. Many Years later, Akuma fought Gouken, while Ryu and Ken watch the whole battle at a young age, Akuma told Gouken that he was not enough to face him without giving in the Killing intent, Gouken had told him that the art is much more then just death and destruction and even saying that he has dishonored our master's name, Akuma had told his brother that Goutetsu did not truly understand the art and was a fool for not using the Satsui no Hadou to his fullest intent, while the brothers fought well, Gouken won the battle. Akuma had told his brother to kill him, but Gouken had no intention of murdering his own kin, Akuma then told Gouken that he is weak for sparing a life of a strong opponent and said that he will return. A couple years later, Akuma came back to Gouken's dojo and fought him in battle, Akuma had used Shun Goku Satsu on his brother and believed to had killed him, not knowing that Gouken had somehow lived through the attack by emptying his soul and was only in a coma. Ken saw the flash of the attack while running to the dojo, only to find Gouken on the floor, Ken knew that Akuma did this and went after him, as he found Akuma in the woods, he fought him, only to be defeated by Akuma, after defeating Ken, Akuma had went into the woods without a trace.
