Biography

Akamai as he appeared in Gali's vision

When Toa Mata Gali was knocked unconscious in a battle against Rahi, Akamai and his brother Wairuha appeared to her in a vision, informing the Toa of their imminent arrival. Later, when Kopaka was knocked unconscious by a block of ice, he experienced a similar vision including only Akamai.

Because the Toa Mata were losing the fight against the Manas, they decided to form the Toa Kaita. The two Kaita realized that the energy towers in Mangaia were giving off heat that the Manas thrived on. They smashed the towers, and the Manas went into a frozen state. The two continued on deeper into Teridax's lair, where the energy of darkness was too strong, and the Toa were forced to separate.

Toa Nuva Kaita

When the Toa Mata were transformed into the Toa Nuva, they received a power boost. They retained the ability to fuse, and Akamai Nuva still had the potential to be formed.

Since Tahu has been devolved back into a Toa Mata by the Ignika, Akamai Nuva can no longer be formed.

Abilities and Traits

Akamai had the Elemental Powers of Fire, Stone, and Earth, each the power of one of the Toa who composed him. He could wield these in any combination.

Akamai Nuva would have enhanced Elemental Powers were he to be formed.

Mask and Tools

Akamai wore the Kanohi Aki, the Great Mask of Valor, which gave him the Kanohi powers of Shielding, Speed, and Strength. He wielded a Fire Sword in one hand, a club in the other, and wore Feet Additions.

Akamai Nuva would have worn the Kanohi Aki Nuva, which combined the powers of the Hau Nuva, Kakama Nuva, and Pakari Nuva. He would have carried a weapon similar to the Kodan Ball in one hand, a wide sword made from the Magma Swords in the other, and worn Feet Additions.

Akamai Nuva would have had access to the abilities of the Adaptive Armor, if he had been formed.

Set Information

Akamai in set form

Akamai can be built out of the Toa Mata canister sets Tahu, Onua, and Pohatu. The instructions were found divided between the three components' instruction booklets. Gears on either side of the model's back allowed the corresponding shoulder to pivot, swinging the model's arms. Rotating a single gear towards the back of the model's pelvis, meanwhile, allowed the legs to swing alternately, producing a running motion.

Akamai Nuva can be built out of the 2002 Tahu Nuva, Onua Nuva, and Pohatu Nuva canister sets. Each of the Toa Nuva sets used in his construction contains a section of Akamai Nuva's instructions in the back of its normal instruction booklet. A gear on each shoulder can be spun to swing the corresponding arm.
