Draw Takken Carecters Head Side Pose

The conflict between the Mishima family serves as the main focus of the series' plot. As seen from left to right: Jinpachi Mishima, Heihachi Mishima, Kazuya Mishima and Jin Kazama.

The following is a list of characters from the fighting game series Tekken. Characters are chronologically listed in order of the game in which they debuted.

Characters [edit]

Players can choose from a diverse cast that hails from a variety of ethnic backgrounds and fighting styles. A few characters have supernatural origin, such as Devil and Ogre, while animal characters like Kuma the bear and Roger the kangaroo provide comic relief.^[1] In the story mode of the game, each character generally has their own personal reasons for entering the tournament and competing for the prize.

Only four characters have appeared as playable characters in all seven main Tekken installments to date: Heihachi Mishima, Nina Williams, Paul Phoenix, Yoshimitsu although Kuma and King but with two different characters also appeared in all Tekken main installments , though their appearances since Tekken 3 are their successors rather than the originals. Although Heihachi and Kuma are playable in all home versions of Tekken, they are both unplayable in the arcade version of the first Tekken and only appear as opponents.

Five characters: Anna Williams, Kazuya Mishima, Lee Chaolan, Lei Wulong and Marshall Law would come close, having appeared in six installments (though Kazuya and Law made cameo appearances in the third game). Jack also have appeared in six main installments with 6 different characters (Jack, Jack-2, Gun Jack, Jack-5, Jack-6 and Jack-7), with Tekken 4 being the game a Jack cyborg was absent (although a Jack-4 was created, this version was mass-produced instead of only one produced like the other Jack cyborgs).

Introduced in Tekken [edit]

Anna Williams [edit]

Armor King I/II [edit]

Armor King (アーマー・キング, Āmā Kingu) was a rival of King when the latter was still an inexperienced wrestler. He suffered eye damage in a fight with King, but when he later found King distraught and drunk in an alleyway, Armor King convinced him to get back into fighting and enter the second King of Iron Fist tournament. After King is killed by Ogre, Armor King trains a new fighter who sports a jaguar mask similar to that of King's. Armor King is not selectable in Tekken 4, as he is beaten to death in a bar fight instigated by Australian brawler Craig Marduk, who then steals his mask and mockingly wears it in the tournament, provoking Armor King's protege King into entering the competition to seek revenge.^[2] Marduk is then attacked in Tekken 5 by what is believed to be Armor King, but his assailant is revealed in Tekken 6 as the original Armor King's younger brother. After recovering from a brutal beating where he and Marduk knocked out each other and brought to hospital by King, the younger Armor King accepts Marduk's challenge for a retirement match arranged by King in Tekken 7.

Brett Elston of GamesRadar said of the character's appearance in the 2006 PSP game Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection: 'We're big fans of Armor King's 'grab you out of the air and pile drive into the ground' attack."^[3]

Ganryu [edit]

Voiced by: Banjō Ginga (Tekken); Hidenari Ugaki (TK5-present); Takashi Nagasako (TK2-Tekken Tag Tournament; Tekken: The Motion Picture); Lowell B. Bartholomee (Tekken: The Motion Picture, English); Paul St. Peter (Tekken: Blood Vengeance, English)

Ganryu (Japanese: 巌竜, Hepburn: Ganryū) is a sumo wrestler who is barred from the sport for infractions such as firebreathing and taunting his opponents. This rejection, coupled with his mounting gambling debts, steers him into a life of crime. Heihachi Mishima hires him as a henchman for the first King of Iron Fist tournament, in which Ganryu loses to Yoshimitsu, who then drains Ganryu's remaining finances and leaves him broke. Kazuya Mishima pays him handsomely for his services in his Mishima Zaibatsu corporation. Ganryu participates in the second tournament as Kazuya's bodyguard, but he also wishes to build his own sumo ring to impress his secret crush, Michelle Chang, but instead, she defeats him in battle and Ganryu returns to Japan. Two decades after the events of Tekken 2, Ganryu opens a sumo stable and trains other wrestlers. However, after seeing Michelle's daughter Julia on television fighting in the fourth tournament, he enters the fifth in hopes of wooing Julia if he is able to recover her lost "Forest Rejuvenation Data" that he eventually finds inside the Mishima Zaibatsu's laboratory, but Julia receives the information and flees before Ganryu can propose marriage. Now faced with a failing restaurant he had opened afterward in Hawaii, Ganryu enters the tournament again in Tekken 6 in attempt to advertise the restaurant and bring in revenue. Unfortunately, Ganryu accidentally donated all his restaurant earnings to Julia's reforestation campaign. In order to fix his financial problems, Ganryu decided to enter the seventh tournament.

Ganryu's occupations have varied in alternate Tekken media; in the animated film Tekken: The Motion Picture, he is Lee Chaolan's bodyguard, and in Tekken: Blood Vengeance, he is a PE teacher at the Mishima Polytechnic School.

GameSpy named Ganryu as one of their "25 Extremely Rough Brawlers" in video gaming: "Ganryu is more of a tragic character as his unrequited love for fellow fighter Julia fuels his brutality."^[4] In 2011, Computer and Video Games deemed Ganryu one of the series' "worst ever characters": "If losing some weight and not wearing a massive nappy all the time isn't the first thing you do to attract someone whose mother you've already failed to hit on, then you're doing something terribly, horribly wrong."^[5]

She enters the first King of Iron Fist Tournament in the original Tekken, intending to steal a Native American pendant from fellow competitor Michelle Chang, but she is defeated by Chang and goes into hiding before seeking solace with her bladesmith grandfather. He reveals to Kunimitsu that Yoshimitsu's sword is a priceless relic that was handed down through the Manji and capable of dismembering enemies spiritually and mentally. Kunimitsu enters the second tournament in Tekken 2 to defeat Yoshimitsu and claim his sword so her grandfather can duplicate it before his death, but the outcome turns failure, as she retire from the tournament events for the rest of her life, and starting a family. She is succeeded by her daughter, who debuted as a downloadable character in Tekken 7. She took on the "Kunimitsu" name and mask to perpetuates the legacy.

Wang tutors his distant relative Ling Xiaoyu (who debuts in Tekken 3) in the martial arts at a young age. He draws rival Marshall Law in the first King of Iron Fist Tournament, then enters the second tournament in Tekken 2 in order to fulfill the deceased Jinpachi's wishes of eliminating Heihachi and Jinpachi's grandson Kazuya, who have both followed the path of evil. Wang opts to face all challengers giving way to those adept enough to defeat Kazuya.

Angel [edit]

Voiced by: Yuka Koyama (TTT2)^[13]

Angel (Japanese: エンゼル, Hepburn: Enjeru) is a female supernatural entity and opposite of Devil. According to Tekken series producer Katsuhiro Harada, she is the representation of what is left of the goodness in Kazuya Mishima after he had been controlled by Devil, although she herself is not a part of Kazuya's soul.^[14] Her Tekken Tag Tournament 2 profile states that she wields the power to purify things, and carries a compassionate and a cruel side. Angel was a palette swap of Devil in Tekken 2 and Tekken Tag Tournament, but receives a distinct design for Tekken Tag Tournament 2 ^[15] while her fighting style borrowed from Kazuya and Devil Jin.^[16] Because of this, she has a laser attack but it's clearly not a laser from her tiara, it's actually more like a light beam.

Angel's existence is likely the results from the first encounters and strange attractions between Kazuya and Jun Kazama, until Kazuya lost half of his power at time when he unknowingly cause Jun to be pregnant, shortly before Kazuya's defeat by Heihachi in second tournament, then the birth of Jin Kazama.

In Tekken 3, Baek is presumed dead after encountering Ogre, and his student Hwoarang enters the third tournament to avenge his master's supposed death, but Tekken 5 reveals that Ogre had beaten Baek into a yearlong coma. After his recovery, Baek begins teaching traditional Tae Kwon Do at military bases. Hwoarang is drafted into the South Korean military but flees to compete in the fourth tournament, for which he is arrested, but is also informed that Baek is alive. After Hwoarang completes his service, he and Baek enter the fifth tournament to test Hwoarang's skills, but Baek later withdraws after Hwoarang is injured in battle and lays unconscious in the hospital for three days.

He lost his parents and older brother in his youth, and grew up in a violent environment. He longed to make a difference, and became a police officer. He was sent to Japan to investigate the multinational conglomerate Mishima Zaibatsu and its leader, Kazuya Mishima, who knew of Bruce's mission and therefore arranged for his flight to crash. Bruce survives the crash but becomes an amnesiac, and Kazuya hires him as his bodyguard.^[17] In Tekken 2, Bruce fought his old police partner Lei Wulong, who had entered the tournament to arrest Kazuya. Bruce was defeated and attempted to escape on another plane, but it somehow exploded later. He is then absent from the series until returning in Tekken 5 as an unlockable character. After becoming reacquainted with Kazuya Mishima in the tournament, Bruce assists Kazuya in taking over G Corporation, a biotech firm. G Corporation then wages war with the Mishima Financial Group, and Bruce, as Kazuya's captain, leads Kazuya's private corps into battle. G Corporation attempts to gain an advantage by placing an enormous bounty on Jin Kazama, which results in the staging of the sixth tournament, in which Bruce is selectable from the start and participates in attempt to capture Jin.

Bruce makes a brief appearance in Tekken: The Motion Picture, serving as Lee Chaolan's bodyguard and fighting Jack-2 on a boat en route to the tournament.

Roger (ロジャー, Rojā) was crafted from kangaroo DNA, and Alex (アレックス, Arekkusu) from Dromaeosaurid fossil samples. However, Kazuya considered them worthless and wanted to kill them, but they escaped and met Armor King, who schooled them in wrestling. Alex and Roger compete in the second Iron Fist Tournament, where Jun Kazama, a WWWC wildlife-protection program officer, is dispatched to arrest Kazuya. She finds Roger and Alex and relocates them to a safe location in Australia. Alex disappears from the series canon thereafter while Roger's story is expanded in Tekken 5, in which he is not playable but appears in the game's cinematic sequences, where he, now renamed as Roger Sr. (ロジャーシニア, Rojā Shinia) is shown to be married with a son named Roger Jr., who is a kangaroo with human attributes like his father. After Roger Sr. is abducted by Mishima Zaibatsu, Roger Jr. enters the fifth tournament to find him but discovers that he was not abducted but instead secretly living a luxurious lifestyle. In Tekken 6, Roger Sr., again not playable, and his wife are since divorced but she suffers financial hardship without his presence.

Combot/Super Combot DX [edit]

Combot (Japanese: コンボット, Hepburn: Konbotto) makes his lone series appearance in Tekken 4 as a general-purpose robot created by Lee Chaolan for the fourth tournament, crafted to be the ultimate fighting machine. It is programmed to learn every fighter's style as it progresses through the tournament. It was also used to increase the chance of Lee gaining the Mishima Zaibatsu if Heihachi were to be defeated by Combot. Production of the prototype was rushed, resulting in glitches such as using only one fighting style at a time while switching through them randomly. The robot utilizes some physical attributes of other characters, such as brandishing Yoshimitsu's sword or having a long tail similar to King's.

Combot is a playable training dummy in Tekken Tag Tournament 2's "Fight Lab" tutorial.^[22] Lee (as his alter ego, Violet) completes work on Combot as part of his Super Combot DX Plan.^[23] However, Lee is caught up in the success of his handiwork that he neglects to pay attention to the robot and it explodes. He constructs a second model and then kidnaps Heihachi, Jin, and Kazuya as test subjects until Jin destroys it.

Steve Fox [edit]

Voiced by: Ezra J. Stanley (TK4); Guy Perryman (TK5-present, in-game voice); Gideon Emery (TK6-present, English); Masaki Terasoma (2009 live-action film); Yoshimasa Hosoya (Street Fighter X Tekken, Japanese)

Steve Fox (Japanese: スティーブ・フォックス, Hepburn: Sutību Fokkusu) is a British boxer whose mother is Nina Williams and aunt is Anna Williams; she was impregnated via in vitro fertilization and gave birth while held captive by Heihachi Mishima as one of the test subjects for the Doctor Abel's cryogenic sleep studies on the children like Steve to create a perfect Tekken Force's super soldiers. Steve was adopted in his infancy by Emma Kliesen (Leo's mother) until he grew up and was secretly sent to an orphanage by Emma to cover his status from Zaibatsu's eye. This led to the super soldier project being cancelled, and at that time Emma resigned to G Corporation. Steve is one of the survivors, but left a scar on his left arm for the rest of his life from Abel's experiment. Many years later, Steve became a middleweight boxing champion while searching for the truth about his past. While on the run from the Mafia after refusing to throw a fight for them, Steve enters the fourth King of Iron Fist tournament, which he loses but learns that Nina is his mother. During the events of the fifth tournament, Steve succeeds in destroying the Mishima Zaibatsu's research institute. However, his boxing career dries up due to the world war started by Jin Kazama, but he is invited by Marshall Law and Paul Phoenix to train with them in the martial arts. During his training in a boxing gym, his left arm is hurting while also remembering the experiment he had from Mishima Zaibatsu and good memories with Emma. He later found Nina in a chapel during her private undercover mission as a bride to assassinate a certain mob boss (later revealed to be a fiancée of Steve's aunt, Anna Williams from G Corporation), ever since she resigned from Mishima Zaibatsu after Heihachi's return and Jin's presumable disappearance. Once Steve defeated her, Nina explains to her son everything she knows when she was captured by Zaibatsu, led by Heihachi for Abel's experiments. After Steve finally got as much information from his mother as he could, Nina warns him that he will never be her son because she couldn't care less about him. Unfortunately, the Tekken Force are after Nina for leaving Heihachi and being branded a traitor. Steve holds off the Tekken Forces allowing Nina to escape. Steve is playable in Tekken 3D: Prime Edition, Tekken Tag Tournament 2, Tekken Revolution, and Street Fighter X Tekken. His main costumes feature the red, white and blue of the Union Jack.

British actor and musician Luke Goss played Steve in the 2009 Tekken film.^[25] His storyline from the games is changed to his being a retired fighter^[25] with no relation to Nina and instead becoming the friend and mentor of Jin Kazama after Jin defeats Marshall in the tournament. Steve is later killed by Jackhammers while breaking Jin and other imprisoned participants out of their holding cells.

In 2012, Gelo Gonzales of FHM listed Steve and Street Fighter character Balrog as one of his "10 Awesome Fantasy Fights" for Street Fighter X Tekken: "Balrog's the aggressive, in-your-face, no-nonsense Mike Tyson type. Steve, on the other hand, is a pretty boy British boxer who likes to weave around and counter at the ideal moment."^[26] Samuel Riley of GamesRadar ranked Steve fourth in his selection of the "7 baddest boxers in video games" in 2014: "Decked out in Union Jack shorts and a tasty pair of golden gloves, Steve favours punishing body strikes to the precision jab, a high stakes style that metes out as just much pain as it invites."^[27]

Azazel [edit]

Voiced by: Richard Epcar (story mode)

Azazel (Japanese: アザゼル, Hepburn: Azazeru) is the main antagonist of Tekken 6, and the source that created the devil gene, set to be released from his tomb after the clash of "two evil stars" (Jin and his father Kazuya). He is the physical embodiment of the spirit resonating within Jin's psyche that is affected by his struggles with his father Kazuya (the "two evil stars"). Azazel has blue-gray skin, a large spiked tail and huge crystalline spikes protruding from his forearms, and wears a ceremonial headdress and loincloth. His offensive attacks range from summoning giant crystal stalagmites from the ground to unleashing scarab beetles onto his opponents. Azazel appears in the final stage of Tekken 6's story mode, brought forth by Jin so he can defeat him and end his own life in the process. Azazel is defeated not by Jin but by Lars Alexandersson and Raven, but Jin reveals that Azazel can only be permanently vanquished by someone carrying the Devil Gene. Jin powers up with his Devil form, making him immune to Azazel's attacks. Jin kills Azazel by punching his fist straight through his chest but both fall and disappear into the temple ruins.

Despite losing its physical form, the weakened essence of Azazel's soul is still alive and immediately being sealed by Zafina into her orb, at cost of having her left arm cursed with its power. The more it suppressed too long, the more Azazel's soul recovering and stronger, possibly reviving him, unless a Kazuya's next last battle against Jin after murdering Heihachi had to be stopped. When Tekken 7 occur, Zafina sought Claudio to prevent the possible return of Azazel.

Azazel has received critical reception for his difficulty as a final boss. Lucas Sullivan of GamesRadar included him in his 2014 selection of twelve "unfair" fighting-game bosses. "Hated that mutated old guy [Tekken 5 boss Jinpachi], huh? Here, have a fire-breathing crystal dragon that's as tall as the screen."^[32] Rick Marshall of MTV said in 2009, "As far as boss battles go, Azazel is the most difficult the franchise has ever offered—even on 'Easy' mode."^[33] Stephen Nadee of WhatCulture named Azazel the number-one "worst" fighting game boss in 2013: "Understanding the game mechanics mean almost nothing when it comes to fighting Azazel particularly when he has his advantage in defense, his moves are fairly difficult to sidestep, and can counter-attack through his own blocking."^[34] Eric Neigher of GameSpy wrote in his 2009 review of the game's PlayStation Portable release: "Azazel, Tekken 6's official nemesis, is perhaps the most badly designed, frustrating to play against, and overall worst boss ever."^[35]

Bob Richards /Slim Bob/Summer Bob [edit]

Voiced by: Patrick Seitz (TK6–present); Tsutomu Isobe (Street Fighter X Tekken, Japanese)

Making his debut in Tekken 6, Robert Richards (Japanese: ロバート・リチャーズ, Hepburn: Robāto Richāzu),^[36] simply known as Bob, is an American martial artist who participated in numerous fighting competitions but lacked power against larger opponents. He therefore fattened himself up to the point of morbid obesity while maintaining his previous speed, then entered the sixth tournament to silence his doubters. A thin version of the character, called "Slim Bob", is included in Tekken Tag Team Tournament 2 as a download, while the original Bob was added to the roster of the 2016 Tekken 7 update.^[37]

Reception to the character has been mixed, mainly due to his design. Robert Workman of GameDaily ranked Bob the tenth "ugliest game character" in 2008: "If the bright red shirt covering the gigantic frame isn't insulting enough, he also has a bleach blonde mop on his head."^[38] In 2010, GamesRadar proposed a fantasy fight between Bob and Street Fighter's Rufus for Street Fighter X Tekken: "How two totally different companies [Namco and Capcom] decided they both needed speedy fat asses in their games at exactly the same time is something of a mystery, though ... we feel there's room for both of them."^[39] Complex ranked Bob among the "25 Most Badass Fat Guys in Games" in 2011.^[40] In 2012, Jeff Marchiafava of Game Informer deemed Bob one of the most "ridiculous" Tekken characters: "Bob is from America. Bob is also morbidly obese. That's pretty much all the thought Namco put into Bob."^[41]

Voiced by: Veronica Taylor (TK6, TTT2 - present [grunts] (English)); Philipp Zieschang (TTT2, TK7 [German, dialogues])

Leo Kliesen (Japanese: レオ・クリーゼン, Hepburn: Reo Kurīzen) ^[42] is a Bajiquan practitioner from Germany whose father was a world-famous spelunker and whose mother Emma a G Corporation executive. Though the father disappeared during an expedition, Leo still wanted to follow her career path, until the mother was murdered by an unknown assailant. When the police abruptly call off the investigation, Leo opt to seek the truth alone, during which the G Corporation's Kazuya Mishima materializes as a person of interest. It was at this time that Leo learned of the Mishima Zaibatsu sponsoring The King of Iron Fist Tournament, at which Mishima planned to appear, and Leo decides to enter the competition in hopes of gaining access to him. In the Tekken Tag Tournament 2 ending, Leo infiltrates a train owned by G Corporation and learns that the mother was involved with Mishima Zaibatsu twenty years before, heading a project called "Hybrid Gene". The Tekken Tag 2 ending story in regarding of the mother's former job as a researcher in Zaibatsu is continued in Tekken 7. In Tekken Comic, Leo is male and Lili Rochefort's bodyguard, accompanying her to Osaka to shoot a martial arts film.

Namco attempted to cater to female players with the character's shortened name and ambiguous design of short blonde hair and non-revealing clothing.^[43] Series producer Katsuhiro Harada revealed Leo's full name (Eleonore) at the 2011 Tekken: Blood Vengeance premiere in Cologne, Germany. He, however, did a comment on the character saying that "Leo was female during developing".^[44] This however cause fans quite debate concerning Leo's gender, as they have been misunderstood to think that Leo was officially confirmed as a female since that TTT2 provided Leo with a bikini and a male surfer suit. In most sources,^{[45] [46] [47]} Katsuhiro Harada redacted his statement, saying that Leo was conceived as a female character with the name of Eleonore Kliesen (Japanese: エレオノーラ・クリーゼン, Hepburn: Ereonōra Kurīzen), but since that Leo looked like a male in the initial concept arts he decided to change the concept before the release of arcade version of Tekken 6. He stated that the video about Leo's gender revealing in Germany has been modified by being cut back and forth. He confirmed that Leo's sex and gender always have been unknown and that the truth was still in the darkness. He explained also the TTT2 swimsuits situation saying that "They are for those who see Leo as female and for those who see Leo as male". He then affirmed that he's frustrated because Leo is always translated and referred with 'she'. Making Tom Goulter of GamesRadar said in a 2012 feature on the Tekken characters, "Choose this character if anyone tries to tell you that video games are all about enforcing restrictive gender binaries."^[48]

Miguel Caballero Rojo [edit]

Voiced by: Liam O'Brien (TK6, TTT2 - present (English, grunts)); Daichi Endō (2009 live-action film), Héctor Garay (TTT2 - present (Spanish, dialogues))

At the age of fifteen, Spanish brawler^[49] Miguel Caballero Rojo (Japanese: ミゲル・カバジェロ・ロホ, Hepburn: Migeru Kabajero Roho) was kicked out of the house by his parents for constantly fighting. He ran away and sought sanctuary inside a bar, where his sister, with whom he was extremely close, would visit him in secret. However, she is later killed on her wedding day after a group of Mishima Zaibatsu fighter jets launch an airstrike on the church where the ceremony was being held.^[50] Miguel's investigation leads to the sixth tournament in order to seek answers from the corporation's CEO, Jin Kazama. Unfortunately, Jin suddenly disappeared, Miguel's life purpose to kill him also disappears. From that point forward, Miguel began to wander like a living specter from battle-torn town to another. Until one day, he is confronted by now ex-Zaibatsu leader Jin, with Miguel's purpose to kill him rise again. However, Jin held back and let Miguel finish, but Miguel refuse and spared, telling Jin that he will kill him once Jin has found hope without dying earlier yet. His early appearances resemble that of a bullfighter, but his design was simplified in Tekken 7 to an open red shirt and green combat trousers.^[50] He has no formal training in the martial arts. In Tekken 7, Miguel's 'Rage art' is somewhat unique in that the camera switches to a first person perspective from the opponents point of view, giving Miguel's violent beat down a particularly brutal feel.

Miguel has a minor role in the 2009 Tekken live-action film, and was played by Roger Huerta. He is defeated in the tournament by Jin.

NANCY-MI847J [edit]

NANCY-MI847J is a massive robotic security unit under the command of Jin Kazama. It is very difficult to destroy and possesses an arsenal of missiles and lasers. NANCY only appears in Tekken 6's arcade mode and "Time Attack" Mode as a bonus round battle before the player fights Jin. In the story mode, the robot is controllable in one level of the story mode when the player attempts infiltration of G Corporation's headquarters.

Steve West of Cinema Blend said about the character's fighting style: "Nancy doesn't react like a typical Tekken opponent. Rather than block your puny attempts to damage it, the robot will simply attack you whenever it feels like it."^[51] Dale North of Destructoid commented in 2008: "Where do [Namco] get these [character] names? Bob and Nancy? That sounds like a Middle-American suburban couple."^[52]

Zafina [edit]

Voiced by: Lisle Wilkerson

Zafina (Japanese: ザフィーナ, Hepburn: Zafīna) is a Middle Eastern woman, probably of Egyptian descent.^[53] She was born into an ancient bloodline of dispellers of evil and possesses spiritual powers. Raised as a warrior and serving as her clan's assassin, she uses her spiritual gifts on the side working as an astrologist. Zafina is tasked with guarding a sealed royal tomb that believed to maintain the clan's well-being, and she has defeated all who have tried to infiltrate it. She prophesies the clash of two "evil stars" (Jin Kazama and Kazuya Mishima) who will bring about the world's end. Zafina, therefore, travels to the Far East, where Jin and Kazuya are predicted to meet. In Tekken 6's "Scenario Campaign" story mode, Zafina allies herself with Lars Alexandersson and Raven against the Tekken Force, and gives them the location of Azazel's Temple.

In Tekken 7, she has a new design and has gained possession of Azazel's Orb (as seen on Devil Jin's Tekken 6 ending), giving her Azazel-like powers to the hand she's holding as the orb seems to be still holding the demon's essence. She sought Claudio for an assistant to suppress the seal of Azazel's essence from his possible return.

Sebastian [edit]

Voiced by: Serge Bourrier [fr] (TTT2)

Sebastian (セバスチャン, Sebasuchan) is Lili's butler who made his debut as a playable character in Tekken Tag Tournament 2 as part of a free update on October 9, 2012.^[24] He previously appeared as an unplayable character in Lili's Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection and Tekken 6 endings. Sebastian also appears alongside Lili in the game Digimon World Re:Digitize with his trained Angemon.^[54]

Sebastian utilizes Lili's moveset, sharing many of her moves including the ones from Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection that were removed in the current releases.^[55]

Introduced in Tekken Revolution [edit]

Eliza [edit]

Eliza (エリザ, Eriza) is a vampire who made her debut in the free-to-play spin-off Tekken Revolution. She was one of the ten character choices in a poll to determine the new character addition for the game; she was eventually voted number one most wanted character, ahead of Sexy Female Tekken Force and Shin Kamiya at San Diego Comic Con 2013, ensuring her inclusion to the game. According to her backstory, Eliza is a powerful and immortal vampire who had existed since more than 1000 years ago. One day after escaping from one of the members of ancient time's Sirius organization, whom Claudio Serafino descendant to, with the intention of taking a nap inside her coffin, she accidentally fell into a deep sleep for hundreds of years. In present-day Monaco, the Rochefort family built a mansion above her coffin, thus imprisoning her, which was also meant for her shelter from being chased by each descendant of the ancient time's Sirius members. She eventually woke up and managed to escape recently and plan an exact revenge on the present day Sirius organization. Eliza still has difficulty in controlling her sleep and will fall asleep even in the middle of fights; however, she can potentially recover her health while doing so.

Tekken 7 is her main series playable debut, where she utilizes a similar playstyle to Akuma from Street Fighter, such as having 2D-area fighting game mechanics like jumping attacks and special cancels, and Street Fighter-styled Super meter, referred to as a "Blood" gauge. Her sleeping mechanic has also been reworked, allowing her to build her "Blood" gauge rather than recovering health.

Eliza's fighting style incorporates several supernatural moves (such as teleportation). She can also shoot a grounded energy wave that goes straight, although unlike Jinpachi's fireball, it is blockable.

Introduced in Tekken 7 and Tekken 7: Fated Retribution [edit]

Akuma [edit]

Voiced by: Taketora

Akuma, known in Japan as Gouki (豪鬼, Gōki), is a Japanese martial artist who has mastered the dark powers of the Satsui no Hado, seeking to increase his own strength and defeat the most powerful opponents in the world. Hailing from Capcom's Street Fighter series, Akuma makes a special guest appearance in Tekken 7: Fated Retribution. In the story, Kazumi saves his life when he suffers an unknown critical injury. Shortly thereafter, Kazumi asks him to find and kill Heihachi and Kazuya should she perish. Akuma agrees, claiming that this will settle the debt that he owes her. Akuma retains many of his abilities from the Street Fighter games, such as his Gohadoken, Shakunetsu Hadoken, Gou Shoryuken, Tatsumaki Zankukyaku, Zanku Hadoken, Hyakkishu, and Ashura Senku, along with Messatsu Gou Hadou as his Super Move and Shin Shun Goku Satsu as his Rage Art, which was the same 1000 deaths. Akuma is the first character to possess an exclusive game mechanic in the form of the EX/Super meter and Focus Attack from Street Fighter IV, which replaces his Rage Drive. This meter mechanic was also given to Eliza from Tekken Revolution following her introduction into the game.^[56] He is the only guest character in the story mode of Tekken 7.

It was revealed before Akuma was announced to guest appearing in Tekken 7, the protagonist of Darkstalkers trilogy series Morrigan Aensland was originally meant to appear in the said game instead of him. However, Harada and his team gave up and chose Akuma instead.^[57]

Claudio Serafino [edit]

Voiced by: Diego Baldoin (T7),^[58] Kohsuke Toriumi (Pachi-Slot T4)^[59]

Claudio Serafino (クラウディオ・セラフィーノ, Kuraudio Serafīno) is a white-clad man hailing from Italy. He is a leader of a secret Anti-Devil organization in combating the Devil Gene's threat, known as Archers of Sirius. Empowered with a Sirius magic, he has tattoos around his left eye and black tapes covering his right arm, which can project and shoot blue lights/boost during battles. He is one of the playable characters in the first location tests of Tekken 7.^[60] During an interview with Harada, it was said that Claudio was created to counter the Devil Gene's reign, thus would play an important role in the game.^[61]

The reason behind his organization's secret from the public and a sudden disclosure is not yet known at this point. Some time later, Claudio's organization was approached by the Mishima Zaibatsu, led by Heihachi Mishima, to join their conglomerate. However, the archers refused and the Mishima Zaibatsu continues to attempt to persuade them. Having noticed some suspicious acts by Heihachi and his Zaibatsu, Claudio was prompted to investigate the reasons behind the Mishima Zaibatsu's persuasion, even though his uneasy service with Heihachi is temporary. During his alliance with the Mishima Zaibatsu, he met Ling Xiaoyu. After learning about her connection to Jin Kazama, Claudio decides to use her as bait to capture Jin. He later gains an assistant from a fortune teller, Zafina, whose currently cursed by a orb of a fully weakened Azazel, in order to prevent the monster's full return through stopping a continued war between Jin and Kazuya, after the latter killed Heihachi in their last one on one battle.

Fahkumram [edit]

Voiced by: Aphichat Samutsiri (Thai: อภิชาติ สมุทคีรี)^[62]

Fahkumram (Thai: ฟ้าคำราม) is a tall, tattooed, strong and muscular man from Thailand. He is a legendary Muay Thai champion and the national hero of Thailand. The scars he received were a result from being stricken by lightning at age 12, with Fahkumram somehow surviving and obtaining superhuman abilities, as well as growing over two meters tall. He eventually becomes a champion at the age of 18 and grows into an honorable family man who cares for his family, including his daughter who looks up to him. Unfortunately, at the age of 24, his life was to take a dramatic turn for the worse. Corrupt officials attempt to lure and use Fahkumram as a slave for their illegal activities, even taking his family hostage after Fahkumram is falsely arrested for defending himself against and killing his would-be assassins (who also rigged his last official match). These events cause him to become more cynical and deluded by his country's corruptions. When the war between the Mishima Zaibatsu and G Corporation occurs four years later, the corrupt government dispatches Fahkumram primarily to eliminate the Zaibatsu by enlisting him for the seventh King of Iron Fist Tournament; Fahkumram hopes to use this as an opportunity to save his family, should he win liberty once and for all.

Geese Howard [edit]

Voiced by: Richard Epcar (dialogue),^[63] Kong Kuwata (special move dialogues)

Geese Howard (ギース・ハワード, Gīsu Hawādo) is an American martial artist who serves as the reigning crime boss of the city of South Town. Originating in SNK's fighting game series Fatal Fury, Art of Fighting and The King of Fighters, he appears as the second guest character to be included in Tekken 7 and the second downloadable fighter for the console and PC versions after Eliza.^[64] In the trailer for his addition to the cast, Geese's disembodied voice calls out to a meditating Heihachi Mishima, taunting him with the suggestion that he surrender his plan of worldwide conquest before Geese, due to the world being too big for the old Mishima to control and presumably predicting his death at the hands of his son and now G Corporation CEO, Kazuya.

In a similar vein to fellow guest character Akuma, whose gameplay uniquely incorporates its own version of Street Fighter IV's Focus Attack and EX/Super meter mechanics, Geese's gameplay mechanics derive from his appearance in The King of Fighters XIV, utilizing his own unique MAX Mode to access specific EX moves and being able to cancel normal and command moves into this state. Like Akuma, Geese does not possess a Rage Drive, but similar to how the former can expend his Super meter to perform the Messatsu Gou Hadou, Geese has access to two Super Moves ("Climax Arts" in KoF XIV), which are Raging Storm and Raigou Reppuken. Geese is also the only character to have two Rage Arts, his first being Rashōmon, now initiated with a regular attack instead of a counter-throw, and the second his infamous 10-button combination input super, Deadly Rave. Prior to the Season 2 update, he was the only character to have a wall-bounce mechanic.

Gigas [edit]

Gigas (ギガース, Gigās) is a hulking, red-skinned humanoid who appears to have cybernetics attached to his otherwise nude body. His fighting style is "Destructive Impulse". He was one of the characters whose existence was leaked before being officially revealed as the second new character added post-launch of Tekken 7. Gigas was revealed to be created by a research team in the development of biotechnological weapons. Gigas was sent in the tournament to tests his fighting capabilities. It is hinted in both his own and Katarina's endings that he might be Katarina Alves' adoptive father, who is kidnapped by G Corp and mutated into Gigas.

Josie Rizal [edit]

Voiced by: Ananda Jacobs^[65]

Josie Rizal (ジョシー・リサール, Joshī Risāru) is a young woman from the Philippines. She wears a yellow top, a blue miniskirt, and a red rabbit ear-like hair accessory. Josie practices eskrima, the native martial art and the national sport of her home country (formally known as Arnis), combined with kickboxing reminiscent of Yaw-Yan, an indigenous kickboxing martial art. She lacks the characteristic sticks used in Eskrima, instead fighting completely unarmed. Josie's name bears a very close resemblance to José Rizal, the national hero of the Philippines. Shortly after Josie was introduced to the public on March 29, 2015, she became a trending topic on Twitter with many Filipino fans expressing generally positive reactions.^[66] Just two days after Josie was officially announced, someone claiming to be an official from the Philippine National Center for Culture and the Arts told the Philippine media that they plan to "take steps to correct any wrong impression Josie Rizal may have given about Dr. Rizal and the Philippines."^[67] However, three days later NCCA legal counsel Trixie Cruz-Angeles clarified that the agency had yet to issue any position on the matter in a post she made in her personal Facebook page stating "The NCCA has not asked for the deletion of Tekken character Josie Rizal. In fact, the NCCA has not taken cognizance of the issue nor issued an opinion. If you've been reading that website, unders. The name of our chairman is Prof. Felipe de Leon, Jr. Also, matters pertaining to national heroes are within the jurisdiction of the National Historical Commission of the Philippines.^[68]

Josie was designed by character designer Mari Shimazaki, well known for her work in the Bayonetta series, who also worked on the design of the final boss of Tekken 7, Kazumi Mishima. Before her official announcement, Josie was first revealed in a leaked arcade data discovered by players, who also found data relating to other characters yet to be added at the time.^[69]

Josie was a big crybaby from a young age, unlike her parents who were fans of martial arts. They insisted she also train in martial arts, which she initially refuses, but eventually she reluctantly agrees to her parents' expectations. However, she is unable to get over her crybaby nature whilst she undergoes training in kickboxing.

After Josie grew more accustomed to her training, she became a professional kickboxer and a model to help get her household's finances on track, until a large typhoon struck their home. When the Mishima Zaibatsu sends the Tekken Force, led by Kuma, to give relief aids to the typhoon victims in her ravaged country, Josie aspires to become the member of the Tekken Force. She eventually decides to join the Tekken Force by taking an employment examination, with Kuma as her final examiner.

Katarina Alves [edit]

Voiced by: Thaís Durães

Katarina Alves (カタリーナ・アウヴェス, Katarīna Auvesu) is a Brazilian woman who practices the art of savate. She is described as a "sassy, mouthed talker", as well as a beginner-friendly character, with simple strings to execute combos. Along with Claudio, she is one of the characters available in the first location tests of Tekken 7.^[60]

She is currently searching for her missing adoptive father, who happens to be G Corporation's brainwashed monster known as Gigas, as seen on her and Gigas' ending.

Katarina seems to be very confident in her abilities as a fighter; alongside her cocky attitude, her fighting pose has her guard totally lowered (contrary to a traditional savate stance), and her posture is completely relaxed.

Kazumi Mishima/Devil Kazumi [edit]

Voiced by: Yumi Hara

Kazumi Mishima (三島 一美, Mishima Kazumi), née Hachijo (八条), is married to Heihachi and the mother of Kazuya, the adoptive mother of Lee Chaolan, the daughter-in-law of Jinpachi Mishima, and also the paternal grandmother of Jin Kazama. She serves as the final boss in the arcade mode of Tekken 7,^[70] but was eventually replaced with Akuma when certain conditions have been met. Before Tekken 7, she was only alluded to twice: once in Heihachi's stage in Tekken 2, in which her and Heihachi's names are written on the floorboard of the temple in the style of Aiaigasa (a romantic expression to show love between couples), as well as in the non-canon OVA Tekken: The Motion Picture, in which she is mentioned to have died shortly after giving birth to Kazuya. She is seen in a photo inside a locket, cradling baby Kazuya. The debut trailer of Tekken 7 features Kazumi appearing in person for the first time, with her and Heihachi's Aiaigasa-stylized name also shown. Prior to becoming the seventh time release character added to Tekken 7, her human form was playable, yet her devil form remains unplayable. You can also play her devil form as a cheat; the opponent Kazumi will be in her human form, even if you beat her once. Because of this, even when players set the round number from the game options, the 5th stage will be 2 instead of 1.

Kazumi's fighting style is Hachijo Style Karate, which is very similar to the Mishima Style Karate as practiced by the rest of her family, with additional tiger-summoning and levitating ability akin to Jinpachi Mishima. As a final boss, Kazumi is fought in two phases; upon beating her once, she transforms into a stronger phoenix-like white Devil form and remains that way for the duration of the stage. In her devil form, besides having the original devil's powers of third eyed Devil Blaster and wings, her tiger-summoning ability is enhanced, and the tiger's color itself changes to white. Upon beating her once as Devil Kazumi, rather than transforming into a stronger white Devil form, she fights back randomly.

In the story, Kazumi first meets Heihachi when she visits Jinpachi's dojo to train with him. Both Heihachi and Kazumi grow closer and eventually marry, with Kazumi giving birth to Kazuya. Five years later, Kazumi suddenly grows sick; her illness passes quickly, but Kazumi begins behaving differently, exhibiting signs of a split personality, likely due to the awakening of her Devil Gene. During this time, Kazumi saves Akuma's life. After he recovers, Kazumi asks Akuma to find and kill Heihachi and Kazuya should she perish. Akuma agrees, claiming that this will settle the debt that he owes Kazumi. Many days later, Kazumi suddenly attempts to kill Heihachi, revealing that the reason she married him is because her clan foresaw his attempted world domination in the future and sent her to kill him. However, Heihachi proves stronger and, realizing the woman he loved is gone, regretfully kills her in self-defense.

After the interview, he was taken away by two of his Tekken Force to get him out of the hut and being picked up by Lars soon after. He remains with Lars, Alisa and Lee at another branch of Violet Systems to watch the final battle between Heihachi and his son, Kazuya Mishima at the volcanic pit.

The journalist is last seen typing about the confrontation between both a father and a son before he turns off the lantern once he's done typing his report to end the Story Mode and the credits will roll.

He hopes that the information will be able to reveal the truth, though at a more peaceful time instead.

Legendary Capoeira Master [edit]

The Legendary Capoeira Master is the grandfather of Christie Monteiro and the mentor of Eddy Gordo. Before the events of Tekken 3, Eddy willingly imprisoned himself after he was framed by Kazuya for the murder of his parents, where he shared his cell with the Master. He taught Eddy the art of Capoeira during their incarceration. After Eddy was released, the Legendary Capoeira Master (who still had to serve two more years in prison) left a message for him to meet and teach his granddaughter, Christie, Capoeira. He was eventually released two years later, but had become a frail old man. When taken to medical exam, the doctor told Christie and Eddy that he was suffering from a normally incurable sickness that gave him only six months of life expectancy, but also told that a cure could be found with the technology of Mishima Zaibatsu. Thus, his cure became Christie and Eddy's primary reasons for entering the fifth tournament. At the end, neither Christie nor Eddy were able to win, and Eddy, in desperation, took his master to Japan while he joined the Mishima Zaibatsu's ranks with the promise from its leader, Jin Kazama, that he would help him curing his master. Although Jin really did keep Eddy's promise, it turns out not even Mishima Zaibatsu's technology can save the Legendary Capoeira Master, thus without any other option to let the old master dies at the end of the tournament for Eddy and Christie to move on their life, with Eddy angrily leaving his ranks after his many efforts ended all for nothing, now solely remain targeting Kazuya.

Richard Williams [edit]

Voiced by: Paul St. Peter

Richard Williams (リチャード・ウィリアムズ, Richādo Wiriamuzu) is a former assassin, the father of Nina and Anna Williams and the maternal grandfather of Steve Fox. He taught his children various assassination martial arts. Richard died sometime after the events of the first Tekken, which further strengthened the rivalry between his children, even after he left his final wish that the two would reconcile. His cause of death is unknown, although in the non-canon OVA Tekken: The Motion Picture, Nina accused Anna of being responsible for his death. In the spin-off Death by Degrees (also non-canon), Richard had died when the sisters were still young and that he was killed when he was trying to protect his children.

Shin Kamiya [edit]

Voiced by: Mamoru Miyano (Japanese), David Vincent (English)

Shin Kamiya (神谷 真, Kamiya Shin) is a character specifically created for the CGI film Tekken: Blood Vengeance, which is an alternate retelling of the events between Tekken 5 and Tekken 6. He was a student of the Mishima Polytechnic High School, where he was a friend of Jin Kazama. During the start of the film, he has moved out to the Kyoto International High School and is apparently very sought after by both Jin and Kazuya Mishima. Ling Xiaoyu, who is sent by Anna Williams to temporarily attend that school to find Shin, first meets him just as he is about to commit suicide by jumping from the roof, which is ultimately a futile attempt. As Xiaoyu and Alisa Bosconovitch (sent by Nina Williams) delve further, it is revealed that Shin, along with his entire class had been experimented by Heihachi Mishima (thought to be dead at that time) with the Devil Gene to test immortality. Shin is the only survivor and he has since been given immortality, which he despises, thus explaining his temptation to take his own life. Shin is eventually kidnapped, which causes Xiaoyu and Alisa to work together to find him, only to find out that he had purposefully lured Heihachi to himself, wanting to take revenge against him for having ruined his life. Shin attempts to punch Heihachi, but he easily braces against it as he breaks Shin's spine, killing him.

Shin was one of the proposed character concepts as a playable character in Tekken Revolution. The developer found it difficult to make him as a playable character due to his lack of knowledge in martial arts and the fact that he died in the film he appeared in, although there was an idea to make him an immortal character.^[76] In the character poll, Shin ranked third, above the Zombie Bride and below Eliza and Sexy Female Tekken Force.

Tougou [edit]

Voiced by: Hozumi Gōda

Tougou (東郷, Tōgō) is Lars Alexandersson's friend and fellow member of the Tekken Force of Mishima Zaibatsu. When Lars rebels against the force, Tougou follows suit, and he becomes Lars and Alisa Bosconovitch's source of information during their travel throughout the world in attempt to avoid the Mishima Zaibatsu's manhunt. However, during their raid of G Corporation headquarters (in which Tougou also participates), he is killed by the company's forces, causing Lars to swear to take revenge against the enemies for his death.

While he is not a playable character in any of the games, his cybernetic sword is available as an item move for Lars in Tekken Tag Tournament 2. Tougou was one of the character concepts considered in a poll for a new character to be added in Tekken Revolution. He would have used a style similar to Lars, but with the added abilities to use his sword and to call for air strikes via radio.^[76]

Unused characters [edit]

Unused characters refer to characters who were once planned to appear in the series as playable fighters, but never made it past the conceptual stages.

Average "Run-of-the-mill" Old Man [edit]

An average old man who was not a martial artist, and mentioned as weak. The concept surfaced early within the series, and he may have been reworked into Wang Jinrei.^[76]

Female Paul [edit]

A female version of Paul Phoenix, who was described as a "very cute girl". The concept was thrown out due to it not making any logical sense.^[76]

Ganmi-chan [edit]

Ganmi-chan (Japanese: 巌美ちゃん) was to be a teenage female Sumo wrestler who idolized Ganryu. She was proposed for Tekken Tag Tournament 2, but was discarded in fears that she would overshadow the somewhat-unpopular Ganryu. A character sketch was completed several years ago, and the result was of a "cute anime girl", like those found in The Idolmaster.^[76] The sketch was later revealed by series producer Katsuhiro Harada on his Twitter account, in which he stated that if the tweet is retweeted 1000 times, he would convince the staff to attempt her design as a real character.^[77]

Giant Praying Mantis [edit]

During development of Tekken 3, a game bug caused the joints of a character to move backwards, making the character model deformed and appear like a mutated praying mantis. It inspired the team to make a giant praying mantis creature as a fighter, but by then it was too late to start work on him. Unused data within the Tekken 3 arcade machine shows evidence of him being planned for the game.^[76]

Sexy Tekken Force Member [edit]

A female Tekken Force member described as "gorgeous" and "sexy". The original concept was proposed for Tekken 5, but her costume was too revealing (the armor being very bikini-like) and the concept was scrapped for fears the rating would increase. The concept resurfaced for Tekken 6, but again went unused. Many different martial arts for her were proposed, including Silat, Krav Maga, Savate, Taekkyon, Systema, and Escrima.^[76] In the results of the character poll to determine the new character for Tekken Revolution, she ranked in second place, just below Eliza (who was then known as "Female Vampire").

Sake/Salmon [edit]

A salmon out of water. Originally planned for Tekken 3, punch buttons would cause the Salmon to flop around, and the kick buttons would make it release eggs. However, given that the original arcade game charged 100 yen (US$1) to play, playing as a joke character that would inevitably lose would've caused some backlash. Like the praying mantis, leftover data can be found within the Tekken 3 game files. Hacking the game also allows you to play as "Syake", but it is simply Yoshimitsu with Jin Kazama's moves.^[76]

Taekwondo Girl [edit]

Taekwondo Girl was a female Taekwondo fighter, and was scheduled to appear in Tekken Mobile in a new update. However, due to the game being cancelled, she remains an unused character.

Wild Card [edit]

Wild Card is an irregular character appearing only in the arcade version of Tekken. It is essentially the game's "random select" (that picks out different fighters by random to display for the game's demo attraction), but hacking the game reveals it is a standalone character. Playing as Wild Card simply chooses Kazuya Mishima and gives him Yoshimitsu's moves.

Zombie Bride [edit]

A zombie bride in a wedding dress. The idea first came up around Tekken 3 as the first zombie in a fighting game. The idea resurfaced again for Tekken 6, as the sister of Miguel, who was killed in an air strike and came back to life. Since the fighting style for a zombie was considered too difficult to create, the idea was scrapped.^[76] Zombie Bride ranked fourth in the character poll to determine the new character for Tekken Revolution, just below Shin Kamiya.
