You are mistaken. Sonny Boy Williamson II had a style of his own, which can be said of any musician. However, it is also obvious that everyone (and bluesmen in particular) has influences of their own (SBWII also). From this video it is apparent that Aki is a great player who does draw much from Williamson. But, as a blues-playing harmonicist, I can tell you that his style is present, more or less, in almost every blues harmonica solo.
