"It's easier to give people the cold shoulder. It's harder to try and understand them." ― Akira Fudo

Akira Fudo (also known as Devilman) is the protagonist of the Devilman crybaby anime series.
Background
Forced to live separated from his parents, the young Akira Fudo was adopted by the Makimura family in Japan. Known for his tendency to cry about nearly anything remotely negative, Akira suffered a notable amount of bullying and discrimination when growing up, with his only support coming from his foster sister, Miki Makimura. One fateful day, Fudo reunited himself with Ryo Asuka, a childhood friend that had become quite a prodigy in several scientific fields. Knowing that Akira was the only person he could trust, Ryo revealed to him that demons were very much real, and they were about to return to life in order to take back the planet that they used to rule. Despite being a complete pushover, Ryo thought that Akira was the only person who could help defeat the demons once again due to his pure heart. After showing Akira the origins and the nature of demons, Ryo convinced him to merge with a demon.
After a bloody massacre, the legendary demon Amon fused himself with Akira, giving him the physique and powers of a demon, while keeping his heart and mind, creating the perfect hybrid of monster and man... A Devilman.

Powers, Techniques, and Equipment
Powers
- Demon Transformation: Akira is capable of switching between his human form and his demon form at will.
- Enhanced Senses: As a demon, Akira's senses become superhuman. This grants him extremely acute hearing, night vision, and even x-ray vision.
- Fire Manipulation: Akira can generate fire out of nowhere.
- Heat Manipulation: Likely an extension of the above, Akira is able to greatly increase his body's temperature, which he used to attack Ghelmer while he was inside his body.
- Flight: Akira can use his large wingspan to soar through the sky.
- Regeneration: Akira is capable of healing wounds and lost limbs. However, his ability to recover limbs seems to be limited to partially merging with other demons or attaching the parts back to his own body.
- Merging: Like all demons, Akira possesses the ability to merge with other living beings by combining their biomass, but he has never fully merged with anyone.
