== Biographies ==
Mortal Kombat X: "Originating from the demon besting "Aoi Hono" Ninja clan, and one of Japan's best Kunoichi's, Akira is a powerfull ally for Kotal Kahn, however, she aids him in his war with Raiden for one personal reasons: His newest advisor is Akira's nemesis: The sorceress Elena. It was Elena who once released a demon on Akira's clan, destroying it almost entirely 200 years ago. Akira absorbed it, thus saving the clan, as well as granting Akira immortality and demonic powers. However, she will soon find out, that Raiden will have no mercy for those who betray him.
Mortal Kombat XI: "Raiden extinguished Akira's clan. She was abandoned again. She still holds a grudge against Elena, however she holds a bigger one against Raiden now. Because of this, she won't help Earthrealm during Liu Kang's invasion. Akira traveled to Outworld to help Kotal Kahn restore it, however, she feels, that there is a bigger threat than Liu Kang..."
Mortal Kombat: The last Tournament: "Akira sees the upcoming last Mortal Kombat tournament as a meaning to finally get rid of every evil in the realms, especially Elena, and Raiden, whom she now despises, and thinks he should not rule and protect Earthrealm. Instead, with her clan now exstinguished again, she joined the Shirai Ryu, hoping that they will be the ones to rule Earthrealm. Still, Akira feels the urge, that she is destined to be more, than just help."
== Storyline ==
Akira was born in Japan in the 19th century. She was raised as a kunoichi, and proved to be one of the best kunoichis of the clan. While on a Mission, the Oracle of the Elder Gods Elena attacked the clan by unleashing a demon. Almost whiping out the entire clan, Akira made it just in time to safe ten people of her clan, however only by absorbing the demon. Swearing revenge against Elena, Akira rebuilt the clan in the next 200 years. During them, she met Kitana once in Outworld, who taught her to control the demonic powers, if she did some of her work for Shao Kahn. After this, Akira traveled back to Earthrealm.
=== Mortal Kombat X ===
Akira appears first, when Raiden comes to her temple to call for her aid in the Outworld war. Akira refuses to take part, as she thinks Raiden has no right to attack Outworld. Raiden then threatens her, saying that she should not betray her realm. 
She then traveled to Outworld to warn Kotal Kahn, however, once she saw his newest advisor, Elena, she immediately attacked her. Kotal Kahn then talked to her privately, and promised, that if she fought at his side, she can have anything she wants, with her respond being that she only wants Elena, and revenge. Raiden then attacked Outworld, and Akira helped defending Outworld. However, she nearly killed Raiden when she saw, that he "sacrificed" her clan. Akira had a new enemy: Raiden. During the war, many of Raiden' and Kotal's warriors died, including Johnny Cage and Reptile, who killed each other at the same time. 
After helping Outworld defend itself, Akira traveled back to Earthrealm, since Elena had escaped. Once they all arrived, they stared in awe, because Liu Kang and Kitana launched their own invasion.
=== Mortal Kombat XI ===
The Story mode of MKXI begins where the expanded story of MKX story mode left. Akira plays a much bigger role, and is seen at the beginning during the Netherrealm invasion. She fights with Kitana, who clearly overpowers her, and nearly kills her, until Sonya arrives to save her. Still traumatized by Johnny's death, she is knocked uncouncsious and mortally wounded. Akira however can defeat Kitana, after being healed by Raiden. After defeating her, Raiden demands her to be killed, however Akira refuses, as Kitana was still a revenant and could be restored. Not wanting to kill her former friend, and still holding a grudge against Raiden, Akira traveled to Outworld.
In Outworld, she asked Kotal Kahn for help, as he owed her something. He accepted, however, his troups weren't ready yet. Akira said she will come back soon, and left. As she wandered through Outworld, she had the strange feeling of a way bigger threat. In a forest, she was then ambushed by a revived Mileena, Tanya and Elena. Akira was overmatched and brought to the new master of the three: Onaga. Instead to kill Akira, as Elena wished, Onaga made her into his mindless puppet. They attacked Kotal Kahn's fortress, and proceeded to Earthrealm, to find Shang Tsung as well as the Kamidogu of Earthrealm. What they found was a disaster. Earthrealm could stop the Netherrealm, but at a high price. They lost Jax and Sonya, and many other warriors. Cassie, now orphaned, was traumatized, and so was Jacquie. Therefore, Earthrealm was an easy target for Onaga and his enforcers, if it hadn't been for Scorpion and Sub-Zero. 
Akira was then taken by Scorpion, who treated Akira's wounds. With her clan exstinguished, Akira joined the Shirai Ryu. She is then seen at the end of the story, in the heavens, with all Mortal Kombat Characters, the dead revived. The Elder Gods then appear, and anounce, that too much blood was shed, and there will be one last Mortal Kombat tournament, to decide which realm is the strongest. The winning realm would also infuse all realms to theirs, meaning that if Earthrealm wins, Edenia, the Chaosrealm, Outworld, Seido and the Netherrealm would become part of Earthrealm as well. Giving them one month to prepare for it, the Elder Gods sent each one to their respective realm. Training with the Shirai Ryu, Akira prepared herself like the others.
=== Mortal Kombat: The Last Tournament ===
Akira only plays a big role again in the last entry of the series, appearing as Takeda's tag and vice versa in every tag team battle of the Shirai Ryu. Throughout the story, it is hinted that Akira herself became corrupted during her possession, however, Scorpion managed to purify her. 
She is also seen in the climax battle royal, fighting and killing Elena, by bashing her to death with her own set ablaze heart. She then attacked Raiden, who electrified her and knocked her unconcious. Takeda then safed her from death, and defeated Raiden. At the end, however, it was Scorpion who won the tournament, and ruled with the Shirai Ryu. Akira is then seen at the trial against Earth's foes, when they are attacked by their biggest enemy of all time: the Lin Kuei. As Sub-Zero tells the Shirai Ryu that the Lin Kuei are more worthy of ruling Earthrealm, the two ninja clans rush at each other in order to clash, and the MK Series ends with the one and only clash: Scorpion vs. Sub-Zero.
== Endings ==
Mortal Kombat X (Canonical): "Akira never stood behind Raiden when he announced war with Outworld, and sided with Kotal Kahn. Raiden already warned her that she would regret siding with Outworld, and when Akira returned to Earthrealm, she saw why. Raiden had "sacrificed" her clan in the war, in order to gain their strength through their souls. Akira was abandonded again, and the grudge she held against Elena was replaced with a new one, a grudge on Raiden."
Mortal Kombat XI (Non-Canonical): "Akira was Onaga's mindless puppet. She did what he told her, and once Kotal Kahn was killed by her, he released her from the mind controll, feeling that she was corrupted enough to follow him without mind controll. He was right, she was corrupted. So corrupted, instead to follow him, she killed him, and took over Outworld. Worse than Shao Kahn's and Mileena's rule together, she launched her invasion of Earthrealm. With one simple reason: she hates Raiden."
Mortal Kombat: The Last Tournament (Non-Canonical): "The Shirai Ryu won the tournament, and all realms were fused to Earthrealm. Akira however, was not satisfied with the outcome. Earth's foes like Shao Kahn, were still alive. Capturing all foes, she tortured them, and killed them. Justice had been brought upon Earthrealm."
== Combat Characteristics ==
Akira is a Kunoichi, and is trained in Nin- and Taijutsu, therefore being a Master in hand to hand combat. However, she also utilizes many weapons: A set of kunais, two kodachi swords, a chain used like a whip (only in combos however), metal claws and a bojutsu staff which can be replaced by a naginata. Akira also proves to be a good sorcress, having the ability to manipulate fire and ice as well as teleport, and shown in the expanded story mode to open portals to other realms, although this causes her to be extremly exhausted and she needs to rest after that. 
Also, in MKXI, it is shown that Akira can use souls of tarkatans, elementals (water and wind respecitvely) and zaterrans. She can use them either as pawns to attack the opponent, or absorb the souls and claim their powers. Akira also possesses a katana in MKXI, and fights vicious and ferocious with it. 
In Mortal Kombat: The Last Tournament, Akira's sorcery is again increased, and she is able to summon ice and fire clones of herself, to aid her in combat. She also has a better controll of the demon inside her body, and has more bombing attacks

* Her X-Ray move is named Kunoichi no Hijutsu, which translates to "Kunoichi's secret art". Her first brutality, which is activated by her X-Ray, is called "Revealed Secrets", because all blows are shown to be fatal, as the opponent ends impaled on the bo or naginata, with broken and dangling shins and a broken jaw.
* Akira is considered the first actual Kunoichi in the series, due to the fact that she originates from a japanese ninja clan. She also uses kodachi swords and kunai, and her fighting styles are Nin- and Taijutsu.
** Skarlet was also considered to be the first actual kunoichi, as her fighting style based on Taijutsu and she also used Kunais and kodachi swords. However, since she was Shao Kahn's personal assassin and fights on Havik's side, she can't be considered one, since she isn't part of a Ninja clan.
* The name of her Ninja clan "Aoi Hono" translates to "Blue Flame", a pun on Akira's fire and ice powers.
** It could also be a reference to manga "Ao no Exorcist/Blue Exorcist", because the clan hunts down demon, and the protagonist of "Blue Exorcist" Rin Okumura is the son of the devil, and uses blue flames in his demon form.
* Her name may also be a japanese female name, but is more common to be used for males. This is similar to Reiko and Hotaru, their names however, are female names only.
* In all interactions with Cassie Cage, Akira calls her child. This may be due to Akira being immortal since 200 years, and is, biologically, 224 years old. This is similar to Kitana, who also called Cassie child in one of her interactions.
** Also, she calls Mileena the "Mad Empress" in one of their interactions. This is how she was called in the Mortal Kombat X Comic Series.
* Throughout the Story mode and two of their interactions, it is hinted that Kung Lao and Akira know each other a long time, and also both have a crush on each other.
* Her first fatality is called "Rip off?" due to the fact that it starts exactly like Kitanas "Dark Fan-Tasy" and she rips of their head and torso.
