Akira worked at Capcom for much of his career and is the illustrator who created the character Chun-Li. He has had an amazing career, having worked on many iconic projects and well known companies. The documentary is beautifully shot and does a brilliant job of sharing Akira\u2019s journey and struggles as an artist. I love learning more about the process and points of view of creatives like him. The video is definitely worth the 16 minutes to watch!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Akira_Yasuda\" class=\"ek-link\">read up on Akira Yasuda on Wikipedia<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/akiman7\" class=\"ek-link\">follow him on Twitter<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Check out this short documentary about the artist who created the famous Street Fighter II character Chun-Li. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6316,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_links_to":"","_links_to_type":0,"footnotes":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false},"categories":[12],"tags":[673,94,674],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.michaelvanputten.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/RxIXilYv0kM.jpg","jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelvanputten.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6313"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelvanputten.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelvanputten.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelvanputten.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelvanputten.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6313"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelvanputten.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6313\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelvanputten.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6316"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelvanputten.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6313"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelvanputten.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6313"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelvanputten.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6313"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
