Characters of the Tekken series
"[5] 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.
Upon learning that the Zaibatsu's rival G Corporation was attacked by the Tekken Force, Lee joins the fourth tournament with a vastly different appearance, competing under the name of Violet in order to conceal his identity, while hoping to test his new "Combot" experiment in the process.
Others appearances: Marshall Law (Japanese: マーシャル・ロー, Hepburn: Māsharu Rō) is a martial artist who owns a restaurant in San Francisco's Chinatown,[26] and like his close friend Paul Phoenix, financial difficulty becomes his primary motive for entering the King of Iron Fist fighting tournaments held throughout the Tekken series.
[30] While participating in the fifth tournament in Tekken 5 in hopes of being able to cover medical bills stemming from Forest being hurt in a motorcycle accident,[31] Law is deported to the United States upon discovery that he was employed illegally in Japan.
They later add boxer Steve Fox to their ranks, while they did well in the tournament, Paul and Law ended up being paired against each other and they both fought to a draw, as a result they were unable to claim the top prize nor restore their respective previous aims.
After Jin Kazama's victory against Kazuya, and signaling the world's freedom from the latter's tyranny, Marshall reconciles with Paul and returns to the good side where they and their allies, including Azucena, open food kitchens in Manhattan and help restore the city.
[34] Others appearances: Paul Phoenix (ポール・フェニックス, Pōru Fenikkusu) is an American biker and martial artist who regularly enters the King of Iron Fist fighting tournaments while hoping to use the prize money to pay off his debts, yet he falls short of victory each time due to various circumstances.
He battles his way to the finals of the King of Iron Fist Tournament 2 in Tekken 2, earning the right to have a rematch with Kazuya, but ended up getting replaced by another competitor, Heihachi Mishima, after getting stuck in traffic and therefore unable to make the match on time.
Additionally, it is revealed that the Manji gains an aid from the current Polish Prime Minister, Lidia Sobieska, for covert and intelligence operations, as well as rescuing her old friend Eddy Gordo from being killed in his failed assault attempt on G Corporation Millenium Tower.
However, while trying to get out of the sanctuary, Jun falls unconscious, as her soul trapped inside the astral world after hearing Kazama main branch's lullaby and saw a vision of Jin and Kazuya's final conflict in the future during the eight tournament.
Having witnessed his power firsthand, Heihachi seeks an opportunity to use him in hopes of creating the ultimate life form while staving off his own aging process, and therefore stages the third edition of the King of Iron Fist Tournament held throughout the Tekken series in order to draw Ogre out.
[29] Heihachi then collects blood samples and skin tissue from the creature in order to splice his genomes with his own, but the project is unsuccessful,[67] as he is missing a key ingredient called the "Devil Gene", which the series protagonist Jin Kazama and his father Kazuya possess.
At the same time Tekken 8 begins, where he and the Manji Clan joins a rebellion via his cooperation with Violet Systems against Kazuya's tyranny, the doctor reunites with his "daughter" and fully removes the inhibitor installed in her body to let her go with her own free will.
[86] In his 2003 book Kung Fu Cult Masters, author Leon Hunt wrote that her style "draws extensively on wushu, with graceful balletic sweeps and wide, extravagant stances—like Lei [Wulong], she is a 'shapes'-based fighter and harder to learn than the Japanese or Korean boxers.
[98] In criticizing the plot of Tekken: Blood Vengeance, Charles Webb of MTV.com said, "Ling and Shin are simply pieces in a larger, mostly incomprehensible game being played by father and son Kazuya Mishima and Jin Kazama.
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.
Others appearances: Emilie De Rochefort (エミリ・ド・ロシュフォール, Emiri Do Roshufōru), more commonly known as Lili (リリ, Riri), hails from Monaco and is the wealthy, silver-tongued daughter of a pacifist whose primarily known for oil magnate, but also does rose herbal tea productions.
Outside of the Tekken series, Lili is selectable in the roleplaying games Queen's Gate: Spiral Chaos[113] and Digimon World Re:Digitize, the latter as a guest character who uses her trained Numemon, Monzaemon and Lillithmon to fight other players.
With the news of Heihachi's apparent demise, Jinpachi takes over the company from behind the scenes and organizes the fifth King of Iron Fist Tournament under the orders of the demon, that told him to destroy the world and seek out the souls of the strong, even though he wanted to refuse this command, he obeyed due to lack of energy.
While properly confirming Heihachi's permanent death to his superior, Admiral Victor Chevalier, Raven is the one who suggests to reconcile their alliance with Lars' army, Yggdrasil, and ultimately allows United Nations to clear Jin's name.
Following Heihachi's ultimate death at the hands of Kazuya, who now publicly reveals himself as a devil like Jin, Alisa analyzes the worst outcome, as G Corporation begin their world war mongering regime in Tekken 8.
During said eighth game, six months later, now a captain of Yggdrasil, she finally reunites with her "father" and creator, Dr. Bosconovitch, who is with his acquaintance, the Manji Clan leader Yoshimitsu to join the rebellion via Violet Systems, and already made a decision to let his "daughter" go with free will.
The Hachijo clan, ancestors of Jin and Kazuya through Heihachi's wife, Kazumi, traces their lineage back to an ancient pact made with Azazel, thus implicating it in the ongoing conflicts of the Mishima family and the involvement of guest character Akuma.
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.
Empowered with his family's Sirius magic, the Starburst, he has tattoos around his left eye and black tapes covering his right arm, which can project and shoot blue flame-based spells during battles and serves as a limiter to unleash his power's full potential like additional yellow flame, at cost of half of his lifeforce.
He later gains assistance from a fortune teller, Zafina, who is currently cursed by an orb of a fully weakened Azazel, in order to prevent the monster's full return through stopping a continued war between Jin and particularly Kazuya after the latter killed Heihachi in their last fight.
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.
In the present, Shaheen becomes a bodyguard for a private military branch of an oil company owned by the brothers Salim and Zarif, with the task of protecting key figures in the world, including his best friends.
Once she achieved her first goal, Reina begins her next scheme of avenging Heihachi's presumed death and continuing his legacy, after Jin defeated Kazuya, and purged both of their Devil Genes and Azazel's existence, where the latter's unconscious body is picked up by a seemingly alive Jun.
Using his and Raven's connections, Victor manage to restore the UN's relations with Yggdrasil, in order to focus on their primary enemies who have been conspiring the world besides Kazuya, such as the Devil Gene originator Azazel and his loyal remnants.
