Akira persuades Miki to leave them be, but Miki goes to confront the delinquents, which quickly makes her outnumbered two-to-one. Later, Akira and Miki head for school when they find a woman whose purse was stolen by the two delinquents Dosu-Roku and Ken.


After gently closing Sachiko's remaining eye, Akira as Devilman proceeds to kill Jinmen by ripping apart his shell from his back, freeing his victims from further torment. With great reluctance, Akira punches Jinmen through the center spot on his shell where Sachiko is placed, destroying the left side of her face. Sachiko reveals that although she is kept alive and conscious by Jinmen's power, she was already dead the moment the demon tortoise killed her. A furious Akira transformed into Devilman and attacked Jinmen, but his reluctance in killing Sachiko prevents him from killing Jinmen. Sometime before the events of the OVA, Miki's classmate and friend Sachiko was killed by Jinmen, her tortured face preserved on the back of his shell like his previous victims. He also possesses a righteous fury which he displays towards evil creatures, such as his fight against the cruel demon tortoise Jinmen, who killed Miki's classmate Sachiko to satisfy his own malice.Īlthough the exact details of Akira's backstory in the OVA are unknown, it is assumed that his backstory follows the events of the original Devilman manga, with the kind yet shy and timid Akira turning into Devilman after merging with the demon Amon. When Miki was kidnapped by Eva, Akira went on a rampage until she was found. He is very protective of his girlfriend Miki, and is a good friend of Ryo Asuka. However, after Seth was forcibly merged with the demon Atun, Akira teamed up with Joe and the 00 Cyborgs to defeat him. He is initially opposed to the 00 Cyborgs, especially Joe Shimamura who mistake him for an enemy due to Ivan Whisky's ESP sensing the presence of a "devil". When transformed, he does not hesitate to tear his opponents apart, though his human side ensures that he will do so to protect those he loves. When transforming into Devilman, Akira's eyebrows grow out into the antennae, and his clothing shreds off.Īlthough Akira's personality varies with each incarnation in the Devilman franchise, he is a heroic character who, after merging with a powerful demon, changed from a compassionate yet highly emotional and cowardly boy, to a headstrong and violent fighter. His head features black fur that covers the back of his head, a red forehead, a pair of antennae extended from the top, and two pairs of small wings extending from the sides of his head. His Devilman form has bluish-green skin, large red wings, a muscular physique with spiked protrusions on his elbows and shoulders, black fur covering his legs and genitalia and a prehensile tail with a pointed tip. He wears a red shirt covered by a black jacket with grey lining, black pants with brown shoes. Akira is a Japanese teenager of average height, with a lean physique, brown hair worn in a medium length with bushy sideburns, and brown eyes.
