The shonen-ai/yaoi pairing of Sora and Riku, two major characters from the SquareEnix video games Kingdom Hearts, Kindom Hearts: Chain of Memories, and Kingdom Hearts II. Kairi, the female of the trio, is often demonized by frustrated fans who see her as a roadblock in the development of their yaoi. The term is found most commonly in Kingdom Hearts fan-fiction.

Aku = Evil
Soku = Immediate (more emphasis on "immediate" as opposed to "swiftly" or "quickly")
Zan = Slay (Depending on how you see it; literally it means "chop" but this changes slightly in context. Here it probably means "slay".

It is a motto that united soldiers in late 19th century Japan, during the period of the Meiji Revolution.
Though some may consider such a "law" an extreme measure, those who followed it did so religiously. Believing that no matter what side they fought for, that as long as they upheld Aku Soku Zan, they would accomplish their mission.
