Takuma Akiyama

"Unlike your typical brain-dead COMPNOR member, he is actually intelligent, and has skill. That, combined with his fanatical support of the Empire, makes him a very deadly opponent."

- Rebel Alliance Intelligence report, 7 ABY

Takuma Akiyama, designated TK-941, was an officer in the Stormtrooper Corps of the Galactic Empire and later various other Imperial factions, such as Thrawn's confederation. An hardened stormtrooper, Akiyama was a loyal Imperial, refusing to admit the Empire lost the Galactic Civil War. Initially a member of the Commission for Preservation of the New Order, he became a stormtrooper upon turning seventeen. Akiyama was a skilled fighter, and climbed up the ranks fairly quickly. Other officers noted he was one of the few exceptions to the COMPNOR stereotype of everyone in it being a fanatical, but unskilled Palpatine supporter.

Akiyama took part in some of the most important battles of the Galactic Civil War, including the capture of the Tantive IV, the Evacuation of Yavin, the Battle of Hoth, the Subjugation of Bespin, the Battle of Endor, and the Liberation of Coruscant.
