Aku Aku biography, Aku Aku discography
For the Crash Bandicoot character, see Aku Aku.However much of his evidence has now been refuted by archaeologists, and his methods have been heavily criticised.For example: Paul Bahn wrote: "he relied on the selective use of evidence, which resulted in a misleading conclusion".Theories
Heyerdahl is most controversially associated with an attempt to revive the theory that the islanders stone carving technology came from South America.He argued that as well as being settled by Polynesians, Easter Island was settled by people from Peru in South America (an area he described as being "more culturally developed").For the islanders, Aku Aku also means "spiritual guide."Seemingly unaware of Polynesian stoneworking traditions such as the Marae he said of Ahu Vinapu's retaining wall "No Polynesian fisherman would have been capable of conceiving, much less building such a wall".The Turbulent History of Easter Island.British Museum Press, London, 1994.This article about a history book is a stub.This article or section has multiple issues:
The notability of this article's subject is in question.Naughty Dog's Crash Bandicoot series.He is the only character besides Crash to appear in every installment of the series.As stated in the instruction manual of the first Crash Bandicoot game, Aku Aku is the ancient voodoo mask spirit of an old witch doctor, who looks over the Wumpa Islands as a kind of spirit guardian.When he sensed Crash's and Coco's journey to ruin Doctor Neo Cortex's plan for world domination, he befriended them and scattered copies of himself to aid them.Collecting three in a row without getting hit will result in Crash and Coco becoming temporarily invincible from anything except deep water and bottomless pits.He is voiced by Kenichi Ogata in the Japanese dubs of the games.Personality
Aku Aku cares deeply for the Earth and all who inhabit it, protecting Crash whenever needed and acting as a father figure to the Bandicoots.Overall, Aku Aku is a kind, benevolent, and empathetic spirit who loves the Earth, making his name an ironic one, seeing as "Aku" is Japanese for "evil" or "wickedness".Aku Aku's personality is expanded in Crash of the Titans.Abilities
Similar to Sparx in the Spyro the Dragon series, Aku Aku's primary function is to protect Crash from harm.If Crash has one Aku Aku mask, it will protect him from one attack; if he has two, he'll resist two attacks.If Crash picks up three Aku Aku masks, he'll enter a state of invincibility and will not be harmed from any enemy attacks, Nitro crates, and TNT crates.In Crash Twinsanity, having three Aku Aku's will no longer protect Crash from explosions by TNT or Nitro crates, or destroy enemies by walking into them, as it did previous titles.Aku Aku also has many other abilities.In the Cortex boss fight in Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped, it is shown he and his twin brother Uka Uka are able to produce various forms of what is assumed to be witch doctor magic.In Crash of the Titans, Crash uses Aku Aku to cover the Titan's face and take control of the creature.Aku Aku can also be used by Crash as a shield and a skateboard.Whenever Aku Aku can sense a person, he can teleport a certain distance towards that person.In the Game Boy Advance version of the game, Aku Aku can transform into various vehicles for Crash to use.Aku Aku doesn't play an important role in the series until Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped, in which he appears as a father figure of the bandicoots.In the same game, it is revealed that Aku Aku has an evil twin brother named Uka Uka, whom he constantly opposes and has the same strength and power (as evidenced in the final battle against Doctor Cortex, in which he holds off Uka Uka's attacks, and Uka Uka likewise holds off his.In Crash Bandicoot 3:Warped Aku Aku mentioned that he locked Uka Uka away in a temple prison many eons ago to protect the world from his malice.From this, it can be assumed that both Aku Aku and Uka Uka are quite old.In Crash Twinsanity, Aku Aku successfully convinces his twin brother to join him in an attempt to defeat the Evil Twins.In Crash of the Titans, Aku Aku is briefly kidnapped by Doctor Neo Cortex, but is soon rescued by Crash.Aku Aku acts as Crash's source of power and his skateboard in certain sections.It is also revealed that Aku Aku is the older of the twins.Other appearances
Aku Aku (along with Uka Uka) appears as a tutor for the player in the racing games Crash Team Racing and Crash Nitro Kart, giving general tips for the player after a trophy is won.Who protects the player depends on whether the character is good or evil, with Aku Aku protecting Crash, Coco, Polar, Pura and Crunch and Uka Uka protecting Cortex, N.In Crash Bash, Aku Aku and Uka Uka attempt to decide whether good or evil is stronger.Uka Uka wishes to fight his brother, but Aku Aku states that they are not permitted to do so, despite the two having fought in Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped.The two hold a contest, with Aku Aku summoning Crash and Coco to play for him, while Uka Uka summons Cortex, Doctor Nitrus Brio, Tiny Tiger, Dingodile, Koala Kong and Rilla Roo.To even out the sides, Uka Uka permits Aku Aku to choose two players, Tiny and Dingodile, from the evil side to play for the side of good.The contest, however, is simply a plot by Uka Uka to obtain the crystals.If the player chooses the side of good, when the game is completed, Aku Aku seals the crystals away, and releases Uka Uka into space as punishment for attempting to steal them.If the evil side is chosen, the ending depicts Uka Uka obtaining the power of the crystals, while Aku Aku urges Crash and Coco to hide.Aku Aku makes a cameo appearance in Crash Tag Team Racing and appears as the tutor in Crash Boom Bang!.Crash of the Titans on IMDb.Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex Instruction Booklet (in English).Naughty Dog: Crash Bandicoot instruction manual (in English).Sony Computer Entertainment America, 22.Aku Aku: It is I, Aku Aku!My duty is to protect you.You may summon me by breaking open these crates.Cortex and Uka Uka are stealing all the mojo from the temple.This is somehow related to the strange mutants we've been fighting.It's like the Texas Mojo Repository in there!Aku Aku: After many eons, my evil twin, Uka Uka, has been freed from his underground prison.An evil greater than even yours threatens to destroy this world.Aku Aku: Divided, we are but two magical masks.Join me, and together we can defeat this infestation.Aku Aku: The Aku Uka Brothers, together again.The door opens to reveal the Evil Twins using Aku Aku and Uka Uka as ordinary Halloween masks.The Evil Twins toss the motionless masks to the ground.Uka Uka: We shall settle this argument.Aku Aku: No, Uka Uka!There can be no malice between us.Aku Aku: Your secret plan to steal the crystals has failed.Aku Aku: Now that Uka Uka has the Crystals, the Earth is surely doomed.This page was last modified on 25 February 2008, at 02:38.All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License.This page uses frames, but your browser doesn't support them.SearchBlock_init('Search the Gallery', 'Please enter a search term.From the mandate of its Charter, to the reality of its people, programmes and sites, Aga Khan University is an international university.Its programmes and services are open to all, regardless of faith, creed, origin or gender.Of great importance is its focus on issues of and opportunities for women.It draws upon the great traditions of Islam and other religions and cultures to teach critical thinking, problem solving and decision making, while inculcating moral reasoning, ethics and respect for others.Welcome to Aga Khan University.Unless specifically stated, extracts (other than photographs) may be reproduced without further permission, with due acknowledgment.
