I don't like Akira, so I'm just gonna let THOR rate him:

THOR Ta:  for who sees AKIRA to play, stop to be at a circus.

Akira is a decent player. I doubt he'll be an important player for this team, but should do well in smaller roles or versus weak opponents

Akira is has been inactive for a long time, but it won't take long for a good as player as he to shake off the rust. He should be the best player on Team Name.

Akira has had a lot more success at FFA than in past MWCs.  He is a very good player though with excellent unit skills.  As long as his cap makes sure to spell out his role carefully, he'll do wonderfully.
