==Summary==
Akira Kazama (風間 アキラ Kazama Akira) is a character from the Rival Schools series of games, transferring into the Street Fighter franchise in Street Fighter V as a fighter. She enrolls in Gedo and later Seijyun High with her most notable aspect being her heavily clad biker suit that masks her true gender as a girl.
