Gouki is is real name, Akuma, which does mean Devil, was the name given to him for the import versions of the game to support Capcom America's "Demonic" storyline that thhey gave him.Akuma's power is Satsui No Hadou (the Murder Wave), and his fighting Style is Ansatsuken (Fist of Death), A forbidden Martial style because it encorporates techniques like the Shun Goku Satsu (Raging Demon), This techique kills the wielder as much as it kills the victim, but Akuma survived, and was doomed to a fate worse than death. It's for this reason that Akuma seeks out the one strong enough to kill him, so that he may end his life with honor and dignity, and to escape his fate of life beyond death.
"Each Victory is a missed opportunity to die" remember those words when you think of Akuma.
He killed his brother, and he unleashed his power, after learning a forbidden art (he does ANYTHING to win), victory for him is at all costs, though he isn't cheap persay.
