The film Akira's theatrical poster was released with the movie's debut on July 16th, 1988.[1] The poster itself was likely been created the year prior, in 1987.[2] The poster showcases the series' protagonist, Shotaro Kaneda, walking towards his bike as the movie's title is shown behind him.The title, written in romaji (AKIRA), is spray-painted on with its equivalent in katakana (アキラ). The poster, described by KK Miller from SoraNews24 as "almost as iconic as the movie itself",[3] is commonly known in two different coloring themes: Green (shown below, left) and blue (shown below, right).

Not too surprised that there are so many parodies of that poster, I mean, remember, Akira is one of the biggest influensers in the cyberpunk genre, it's rigth up there with Mike Pondsmith's Cyberpunk, Ghost in the Shell, Blade Runner, Alita (depending on who you ask), and later on System Shock and Deus Ex.
