Akatsuki is the main protagonist of the doujin Japanese 2D fighting game, Akatsuki Blitzkampf.
He makes guest appearances in Under Night In-Birth and BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle. Akatsuki is a high class technical officer of the Imperial army. Believed to have died at the critical times of War coming to its end, in the Arctic ocean, during the transportation of a new military unit from an allied country. 50 years after, returning alive
and unchanged in appearance, he, wielding superhuman abilities, resumes his mission.
Akatsuki's UNIEL story is as follows: A man of mystery who suddenly
appeared in this world. His body is endowed with a vital secret, he acts in
with utmost secrecy. After awakening from his long slumber, he returned to his
homeland to discover the scenery had become all too unfamiliar. Despite not
knowing left from right in this land, he fully intends to accomplish the
mission that he was entrusted with. He possesses a body forged from constant
training and martial arts and has the ability to discharge electricity through
his "Blitzanzug". Possessing a projectile, anti-air, and rushing
attacks all together, it's as if he's the main character. Just who is this
man?

After seeing his
design visually, I was excited to try him out in UNIEL. Surprisingly, the
dude only has 3 special moves and plays like a Shoto... COOL. ^__^ I like
shotos. He's got a cool-looking shoryuken move (with a pose that hasn't been
done before), and a lot of his attacks and animations are badass in general. If
he was a total Shoto-clone I wouldn't respect the design very much, but nearly
all of his normals are unique and look really cool. He actually uses a variety
of "authentic" Karate-style moves... and I can respect a 2D fighting
game character (especially in an anime fighting game) that just punches and
kicks the hell outta shit and calls it a day. No extra fluff needed.
Akatsuki's appearance and outfit is somewhat simple and nothing too
extraordinary, but he's got some cool alternate colors at least. He also must
train in the same projectile-throwing style as Urien
& Gill. Again, COOL. ;)
