Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to the rice cooker's instructions.
Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large mixing bowl. While the rice is still hot, gently fold in the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Mix until the sugar and salt are completely dissolved. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.
While the rice is cooling, slice the fresh tuna, salmon, yellowtail, and shrimp into thin strips. Peel the cucumber, remove seeds, and cut it into thin, julienned strips. Peel the avocado, remove the pit, and slice into thin strips.
Place a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface. Place a sheet of plastic wrap over the mat and top with one sheet of nori, shiny side down.
Wet your hands with water to prevent the rice from sticking. Spread approximately 1/2 cup of the prepared sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving a small border at the top edge.
Place two pieces of imitation crab stick and a few strips of cucumber across the bottom edge of the rice. Lift the mat and carefully roll the sushi into a tight cylinder, pressing gently to seal.
Place several pieces of sliced tuna, salmon, yellowtail, shrimp, and avocado on top of the roll to create the 'rainbow' effect.
Cover the top of the sushi roll with plastic wrap and use the bamboo mat to gently press the fish and avocado onto the rice, securing them in place.
Using a sharp knife, cut the roll into approximately 8 pieces. Clean the knife between cuts for a cleaner presentation.
Remove the plastic wrap and arrange the sushi pieces on a serving platter. Serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi on the side.
