Akira Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Colonel Shikishima — Status=Deceased: In the original manga canon, Colonel Shikishima survives the events of Neo-Tokyo and witnesses the new world; his death is specific to the anime adaptation.

Colonel Shikishima — First Appearance location: Shikishima does not first appear at a construction site; he debuts overseeing Tetsuo's containment at the military hospital or command center early in the narrative.

Takashi — The entry incorrectly states the Capsules gang wears red uniforms; canonically, the Capsules wear blue jackets with white stripes, while the rival Red Scorpions are associated with red.

Captain Murota — Character Name: There is no canonical character named 'Captain Murota' in Akira; the high-ranking police officer leading the Special Unit is Colonel Shikishima.

Captain Murota — Plot/Fate: The entry claims this officer dies during Tetsuo's initial rampage, but in canon (both film and manga), the Special Unit leader survives the initial chaos and evacuation of Neo-Tokyo until the final climax.

General Tokumaru — There is no prominent character named General Tokumaru in Akira canon; the correct identity is Colonel Shikishima.

Neo-Tokyo Self-Defense Force — Colonel Shikishima does not survive the climax in the manga; he is killed by Tetsuo during the final battle, whereas he survives only in the film.

Colonel Shikishima's Unit — The unit is part of the national Japanese military (Self-Defense Forces/Special Forces), not a municipal 'Neo-Tokyo Military Force'.

Colonel Shikishima's Unit — Soldiers utilize standard conventional weaponry and tactics which fail against Tetsuo, rather than specialized experimental psychic containment technology.

Neo-Tokyo Police Force — The entry states jurisdiction transfers to the Special Military Unit only when individuals exhibit 'high-level' psychic powers; canonically, military intervention occurs upon any confirmed manifestation of Esper abilities (e.g., Tetsuo was taken by Colonel Shi
