Akuma is one of the most beloved Street Fighter characters of all time, and in his latest appearance via Street Fighter 6, he’s more burly and feral than we’ve ever seen him before.
This version of the demonic fighter also happens to be the one that the lovely Caytie Cosplay has decided to take on for her gender-bent Akuma, and while we’re most definitely anticipating more professional photos, she has posted a selfie of the completed costume.
In just about every one of his previous appearances to date, Akuma has appeared in his trademark purple gi. The getup was almost always tattered, to be sure, but it also covered him up and thus might have been a bit more conducive for a feminine take.
Caytie is one for a challenge, however, and so tackles this shirtless version of Akuma who dons just an animal pelt of sorts around his shoulders. Here’s what she ultimately had to work with:

After teasing her follows on X with the above promise that Akuma was indeed en route, she shared this cutoff photo of herself in the full cosplay:

It was not until Monday that Caytie shared a full view of her own take on Street Fighter 6 Akuma. The look is stunning to say the least as everything looks spot on from the wrist wraps to tattered pants:

We imagine we may see a few more photos of this wonderful cosplay in time, and would love to see what it all looks like under curated lighting and from action angles.
