About Akuji
A name from the 1999 video game, Akuji the Heartless, this invented choice is borne by a playable voodoo priest and warrior, who is cursed to wander the Underworld after his heart was ripped out on his wedding day. Some sources suggest it takes inspiration from the Yoruba language and means "dead then alive", while others point to how it translates literally to "bad deeds" or "evil act" in Japanese kanji.
The latter meaning may well be the meaning of another game with the name in the title: Akuji the Demon, released in 2002.
Voice actor Akuji Saito is one bearer of the name.
Pronounced ah-KOO-jee.
Editor's take: The name Akuji is a boy's name meaning "dead and awake; bad deeds".
