YOSHIMITSU


Yoshimitsu (born July 18, 1959) is a fictional character originally created for the Tekken series of fighting games, designed by Namco. Yoshimitsu made his first appearance in Tekken, and he has returned for all subsequent sequels to that game since his inception. Additionally, a seperate character bearing the same name, weapon, clan and basic information, was later carried over into Namco’s Soul series as a secret character, making his debut in Soulcalibur and returning for Soulcalibur II, Soulcalibur III, Soulcalibur IV, and the portable remake of Soul Calibur IV, Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny. It is implied that he is a descendant of the Yoshimitsu of Soulcalibur. It can also be noted that he changes his costumes with every game/tournament (although his Tekken 1, 2, 3, and 4 Player 2 outfits bear some similarity to each other). He can also be customized with items to look like his Tekken 3 costume in Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection. Yoshimitsu is one of only four Tekken characters (the others being Heihachi Mishima, Nina Williams, and Paul Phoenix) to have appeared in every game in the series.

Yoshimitsu initially entered the first tournament as a decoy, so that Kunimitsu and the other members of the Manji clan would be able to steal the tournament’s funds unobserved. But eventually, he heard of a powerful sumo wrestler, called Ganryu engaging in fraud and other corrupt activity, who had likewise entered the tournament. Despite not being a sumo himself, this base disrespect for the sumo code of honour infuriated Yoshimitsu, so he defeated Ganryu, stole his fortune and distributed it amongst the poor.
Yoshimitsu appears in the live-action film Tekken portrayed by actor and stunt man Gary Ray Stearns. He participates in the Iron Fist tournament and is pitted against Jin Kazama. While Yoshimitsu holds his own, Jin eventually defeats him with a punch directly to his masked face. Yoshimitsu will go through another costume change, his features will be a samurai look with light gold armour as when Jin hit him with the guan dao it made a metal to metal clash sound. In the movie he works for Kazuya Mishima and is a master swords men.
Yoshimitsu seems the only character in the Tekken series that used a sword. (And Mokujin or Tetsujin when they're mimicking him, but they don't count as they were using wooden/iron swords. Combot also can mimic Yoshimitsu in Tekken 4 and uses a blue blade light sword attached to his hand).

LING XIAOYU


Ling Xiaoyu (born June 9, 1989) is a fictional Chinese character from the popular Tekken video game series. She attends the Mishima Polytechnical School with Jin Kazama (whom she has a crush on) and her friend Miharu Hirano. Her life’s ambition is to build an amusement park for all of China to enjoy. Since Xiaoyu has been voiced by Japanese voice actress Yumi Touma since Tekken 3, Xiaoyu speaks only in Japanese despite being Chinese, even to her grandfather, Wang Jinrei, in an interlude in Tekken 5 and Tekken: Dark Resurrection. Outside of the main series, Ling Xiaoyu has appeared in Tekken Card Challenge, Tekken Tag Tournament and Tekken Advance. Xiaoyu also appears in Smash Court Tennis Pro Tournament 2 as an unlockable character.
Even at 7 years old, Ling Xiaoyu loved amusement parks. She was tutored in martial arts by Wang Jinrei from a young age. He believed that if she were more serious, she could achieve true greatness, but he became frustrated by her careless attitude.

While vacationing in Hong Kong with her family, she noticed a yacht bearing the name: “Mishima Zaibatsu”. Knowing that the Mishima Zaibatsu was rich and powerful, she decided to seek out Heihachi Mishima and make her dream a reality. Abandoning her family, Xiaoyu stowed away on the ship. The ship’s security soon discovered her and informed Heihachi of her presence. By the time that Heihachi arrived on the scene, all of the Tekkenshu—Heihachi’s personal security force—that were aboard the ship had been beaten into unconsciousness and strewn about the deck. It looked as if the ship had been hit by a hurricane.

Amidst the chaos, Heihachi found Xiaoyu. She threatened to beat him up if he did not accept her challenge. Amused by her juvenile antics, Heihachi roared with laughter and promised to build her theme park if she won his tournament. She enrolls at the Mishima Polytechnical School, and this is where she first meets both Jin Kazama and Miharu Hirano. Bringing along her old school's trained panda (aptly named "Panda"), Heihachi teaches her to fight, much like he has taught Kuma, so that Xiaoyu would have a bodyguard. This inspired Xiaoyu to see Heihachi as something of a grandfather toward her.

As of Tekken 6, she now shares common intentions as Jun Kazama (except with Kazuya) in saving Jin from evil and from his hatred of his grandfather, Heihachi. Since Tekken 4, her goals center around Jin Kazama. Her crush for Jin Kazama has grown since they were students.

NINA WILLIAMS

Nina Williams (born December 28, 1964) is a character from the Tekken game series. She is a cold-blooded assassin who made her first appearance in the original Tekken and has appeared in every Tekken since. She is one of only four Tekken characters to appear in each game and the only female character to have appeared in every installment. She has a notable love/hate relationship with her younger sister, Anna Williams.


Nina has a lethal fighting style, consisting of many throws, elaborate kick combos, grapples, holds, and chain-throws (something that only a few Tekken series characters have). In 2005, Nina Williams starred in her own spin-off game, Death by Degrees.

Nina is generally portrayed as emotionless, stoic, and focused. She does not smile often, as opposed to her more frivolous sister, but Nina does display a sense of humor where tormenting Anna is concerned. Nina is somewhat antisocial, and also appears to be in great psychological turbulence, most noticeably since Tekken 3. This is presumably due to the traumatic events of her life such as witnessing the death of her beloved father (before the events of Tekken) as a young child, the results of her "cryosleep", which resulted Nina suffering amnesia. Two more events that may have contributed to Nina's cool demeanour are the discovery that she has a son, Steve Fox, who was created by in-vitro fertilization without Nina's knowledge during her "cryosleep" and the deep-seated enmity between Anna and herself.
Ever since her debut, Nina instantly became a fan favorite, due to her speed, lethal moves, and chain throws. Her strength is on par with most characters, and she can even evade and counterattack. Her combos are something to watch out too, as they are elaborate, strong, and even lethal. However, her chain throws are difficult to perform that it requires precision and patience.

ANNA WILLIAMS

Anna Williams (born August 15, 1967) was introduced in Tekken. She is trained in bone breaking martial arts (koppo) and aikido, and she almost always appears in her trademark red silk dress and/or a blue version of it. With a flirtatious demeanour and seductive laugh, she is something of a femme fatale. Anna has a sibling rivalry with her older sister, Nina Williams. She has been in every game, except Tekken 4. However, she returned in Tekken 5. Anna was featured in Nina's Arcade mode ending, in which she accuses Nina of stealing one of her shoes. She was also featured as Nina's sub-boss in Tekken, but did not become a playable character until the console version of the game. In contrast to her sister's cold attitude, Anna is sociable and often flirts either to her friends or opponents. Seducing her targets is her key to carry out her assassinations successfully.She is also known for her fashionable and inappropriate clothing during combat. Despite Anna's fierce rivalry towards her sister, Nina, she still cares for her and as shown in her endings, both of them are in good terms. Anna is more inclined to reach out to her sister and is dedicated to bring Nina back no matter what it takes.


Another notable thing about Anna is that she joins forces in the people who are considered "evil" (G-Corporation's Kazuya Mishima wants to take over the world) in order to either reunite with or try to attack Nina, while Nina joined forces in the Mishima Zaibatsu in which the CEO, Jin Kazama (who is considered "evil" until you realize his true ambition), has a hidden motive - that is, to save the world.
Anna share some moves with Nina ever since she debuted in the series. As the series progressed, she has her own moveset but still sharing some of her sister's moves. Her attacks have an added grace and poise with them, unlike her sister's serious and direct attacks that can result Anna being a bit slower than Nina and her chain throws are fewer than her sister's.

BAEK DOO SAN


Baek Doo San (born June 26, 1957) is a fictional Korean character in the Tekken fighting game series. His name comes from the Baekdu Mountain.

He first appeared in Tekken 2 as the sub-boss of Marshall Law. According to the storyline, Baek accidentally killed his father during a sparring session. As a result, Baek went on a rampage, destroying several dojos. One of the worst hit happened to be Law's.

Baek's ending shows him sitting on a bench outside a park. He takes out a locket containing a photo of him and his father. Baek reminisces about his training sessions with his father, remembering the great person he was and how much he loved him. Remembering his father for the man he was, Baek finally accepts his father's death, finding peace within himself.


According to the Tekken 3 storyline, Baek was presumed dead after encountering Ogre, the fictional Aztec God of Fighting. One of his closest students, Hwoarang, entered The King of Iron Fist Tournament 3 to exact revenge for his master's death and to have a rematch with Jin Kazama, the only fighter who had ever fought him to a draw.
Several male characters from the Tekken 2 lineup returned in Tekken 5, including Baek. According to the Tekken 5 storyline, his encounter with Ogre had left him in a coma, not dead as initially presumed. He woke up over a year later, after his student Hwoarang had already competed in The King of Iron Fist Tournament 3. Baek then began teaching Tae Kwon Do at military bases. Hwoarang was drafted into the South Korean Military, but he ran away to compete in The King of Iron Fist Tournament 4. When he was arrested by the South Korean Military Police, he was informed that Baek was alive.

HEIHACHI MISHIMA


Heihachi Mishima (born August 24, 1932) is a fictional Japanese character in the Tekken fighting game series. Heihachi (roughly transa to "Eighth Peace of the Third Island") is one of only four characters (the others being Paul Phoenix, Nina Williams and Yoshimitsu) to have appeared in every game in the series.

The official backstory for each game somehow involves Heihachi or his immediate actions: he makes two appearances within the series as the main antagonist (in Tekken and Tekken 4) and one as the main protagonist (in Tekken 2), marking him as one of series' central characters, Heihachi is also featured in Soul Calibur II, another fighting game made by Namco.


Heihachi is the son of Jinpachi Mishima, the father of Kazuya Mishima and Lars Alexandersson (though he is unaware of this until the sixth tournament), the adopted father of Lee Chaolan and the grandfather of Jin Kazama. He fights with the power of Mishima Style Karate and is the founder and the Commander of the Tekken Force Unit. He has hosted all but the second, fifth, and sixth King of Iron Fist tournaments (which were hosted by Kazuya, Jinpachi, and Jin respectively).
Heihachi Mishima appears in the live-action film Tekken portrayed by actor Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, he is initially a villain but becomes a much more sympathetic character than in the games, as he is willing to give his life to save Jin from the Tekken Corp soldiers. He is killed by his son, Kazuya Mishima, in his attempt to overtake Tekken. It looks as if Heihachi is killed near the end of the film. However, a post-credits scene reveals that he actually survived, saying "I am Mishima Heihachi. I am Tekken. You WILL obey!" to one of the Jacks.

MARSHALL LAW


Marshall Law (born August 22, 1960) is a character in the Tekken fighting game series. The character is a homage to the martial artist Bruce Lee and shares many characteristics with the famous martial artist, even uttering similar high-pitched shouts and whoops when he performs certain strikes and attacks.
Marshall also appears in the game Urban Reign, along with his friend Paul Phoenix. In that game, he is unlocked by completing one free mode level. He also has a son named Forrest, born March 17, 1983, who is also based on Bruce Lee.
He is one of the 6 characters from the Tekken series (Tekken, Tekken 2, & Tekken 3 respectively) not to appear in Tekken Tag Tournament. But, he returns in Tekken 4.

Marshall Law is a Chinese-American who fights using Jeet Kune Do. Sometimes known as "The Fighting Chef", he is training with Paul Phoenix during Tekken 1 and Tekken 2, and he is the father of Forrest Law. He entered the first King of Iron Fist Tournament in order to gain enough money so he could start his own dojo. Marshall does get enough money as a runner-up for his dojo and took Wang Jinrei to a draw. He is indeed married to "Mrs. Law" is seen in Yoshimitsu's ending.
His name is a play on the phrase "martial law," which is the imposition of military rule by military authorities over designated regions on an emergency basis, such as when the civilian government fails to function effectively, etc.

GON


Gon is a licensed character appearing in Tekken 3. He is unlockable by defeating him in the Tekken Ball mode or by achieving a high score in Survival mode and inputing the name "GON". He is one of the two special hidden playable characters, along with Doctor Boskonovitch. It is unknown if Gon's appearance in Tekken 3 is canon or not. His appearance seems purely ornamental, considering no motive is given for him participating in the third King of Iron Fist Tournament. Gon's ending is the only ending in Tekken 3 that goes in a continuous loop. Gon's alternate costume for this game shows him with a turtle shell and blue gloves (The turtle shell being a reference to the time when Gon decided to wear a turtle shell that he found.). Gon is the only character in Tekken 3 who is barely affected by True Ogre's fire blast. It only does 1 damage point to Gon. He is one of the 6 characters from the Tekken series (Tekken, Tekken 2, Tekken 3 Tekken 4 Tekken 5 and Tekken 6 respectively) not to appear as a playable character in Tekken Tag Tournament and hasn't appeared in a Tekken game since Tekken 3

Gon is based off a manga created by Masashi Tanaka. Gon is a small dinosaur that bullies animals that are paleolithic.

Masashi Tanaka (Gon's creator) has said, "This work contains no dialog or onomatopoetic words. People always ask me why I have done this. From the beginning, I didn't think it was necessary. Manga should be without grammar. I also think that it is strange to give animals human language and make them talk. What I set out to do with Gon was to draw something that was more interesting than anything you could say in words. Manga still has great potential that does not exist in other media. I plan to continue developing the art of expression."

Gon's adventures are usually comedic with environmental connotations. There is very little continuity within the series, with Gon appearing in different countries and interacting with their respective fauna in almost every issue. He is often portrayed as being a short-tempered yet good-hearted creature, offering his help to the various animal friends he encounters in each issue.
