I am looking for figures for the Clowns from Akira in 28mm.

There was a set for Cyberpunk 2020 called "The Bozos". It'll be somewhat hard to get today, though.

There is also the Jokers from Taban Miniatures:

The clowns in Akira always struck me a just big guys in tank tops and baggy trousers with facepaint. I reckon you could pick up any big guys in plain clothing and paint them to look the parts. I always thought a Delaque gang from Necromunda would look good with clown facepaint.

Awesome, I was thinking about how you'd do this the other day (though I was thinking more along the lines of a mix of void and kitbash bikes for some racing fighting fun).

For the Jokers though, I reckon what this chap said:

Although if you wanted some more obviously 'clowny' figures, black cat bases do the moonfleet ones too:

Comes with 2 heads too.

Also Tengu do a couple of Clown Zeds but no reason why you can't paint them alive or just use the bits:
