Akira Yuki (結城 晶, Yūki Akira) is the main protagonist and mascot of the Virtua Fighter universe.

In Super Smash Bros. 4

A Mii Brawler dressed as Akira.

Akira is the basis for a paid downloadable content costume for Mii Brawlers. Nintendo also released a QR code for those who wish to have the exact Mii used in the costume's advertising. The costume is similar to his debut appearance in the original Virtua Fighter, where graphical limitations had him appear in a blocky and polygonal form.

Trivia

• Bayonetta performs the Tetsuzanko technique for her forward throw in Super Smash Bros. 4, and she will occasionally say "十年早いんだよ! (Ten years too early!)", which is a reference to Akira Yuki's famous quote in the Virtua Fighter series.
