Shin Akuma (真・悪魔 Shin Akuma?, "True Demon" or "True Devil"), known in Japan as Shin Gouki (真・豪鬼 Shin Gōki?, "True Great Demon", "True Great Devil" or "True Great Ogre"), is a character from the Street Fighter series, first appearing in Street Fighter Alpha 2 as a hidden boss. This is the form Akuma takes when he becomes almost one with the Satsui no Hado, though not completely so that he doesn't lose his humanity.
