Eventually killed by Ogre, his legacy is continued in King II, who continues on in the rest of the Tekken installments. He then became a priest and joined the King of Iron Fist tournament in an attempt to raise money to open up his own orphanage. Priests saved King after he was mortally wounded after a particularly bad street fight in his younger, orphan years. After all, it is kind of hard to miss a guy in tights wearing a jaguar head. Inspired by both famous Japanese and Mexican lucha libre wrestlers, King may be the Tekken series' most recognizable character.

Let's take a look at a few of the cream of the crop and the bottom of the barrel chaff when it comes to the Tekken series.

Whether it's poor design or uninspired choices at the development table, there are some pretty lame characters that you have to sort through whenever you fire up a Tekken installment. On the other hand, Tekken also has some of the flattest, most insufferable characters in the genre as well. Featuring its own band of memorable, well designed characters that players scramble to select before their opponents can, Tekken has some of the most recognizable contenders in the history of the genre. The characters in fighting games are usually grouped into two groups, coolest and lamest, and the Tekken series is no exception.

It still holds a solid reputation among fighting fans, enjoying a seat on the throne akin to Soul Caliber and Street Fighter. With wacky stories, killer graphics (for the time), and complex, fun fighting style to master, rightfully made Tekken as celebrated as it is today. If you didn't own an original PlayStation, then you could walk into any arcade and play any of the original Tekken trilogy as well, it was that popular. It was hard to own an original PlayStation and not know that you needed to own a copy of at least one of the original Tekken trilogy, if not all three. Tekken is one of the most prominent fighting franchises ever created.
