| - | '''[[Wikipedia:Akira (film)|Akira]]''' is a popular Japanese animated movie based on the [[Wikipedia:Akira (manga)|manga]] of the same name. The story is about genetically altered youth and motorcycle gangs in a post-apocalyptic Tokyo. It often considered one of the first Japanese animated films to draw mainstream attention to the style, so it often gets referenced. In the [[Homestar Runner universe]], this means a close association with the anime-influenced [[20X6]]. In addition, [[Stinkoman]]'s voice is similar to Cam Clarke's dub of Kaneda.
