This 152 mm figure faithfully captures Kaneda Shoutarou from Akira in McFarlane Toys' stylized form. The figure stands in a dynamic pose, wearing his signature red biker jacket over a simple tee, paired with blue jeans and boots. The sculpt emphasizes broad shoulders and a lean silhouette, with sharp facial features that convey Kaneda's fearless, headstrong personality. Paintwork emphasizes the glossy red of the jacket, the metallic accents, and subtle shading on the denim. The overall presentation evokes Neo-Tokyo's chaotic energy and Kaneda's pivotal role in the story.

Kaneda Shoutarou is the charismatic and hot-headed leader of a biker gang in Neo-Tokyo, whose bravado masks a fierce loyalty to his friends and a stubborn determination to carve his own path amid social decay. As the city teeters between police crackdowns and underground rebellion, Kaneda's clash with his troubled childhood friend Tetsuo drives the story's emotional core. He embodies youth, impulse, and a hunger for freedom, even as a mysterious experiment within the government threatens to unravel the fragile order around them. Through personal courage, rivalries, and unlikely alliances, Kaneda's journey explores power, responsibility, and the cost of wielding extraordinary abilities.
