Kuma II (Tekken)

Kuma II is a character from the Tekken franchise.

Kuma II is the son of the original Kuma, who died of old age sometime after the second King of Iron Fist Tournament.

Kuma II serves as Heihachi Mishima's bodyguard.

Appearance
Kuma had the appearance of an Asian brown bear, with the characteristic markings of the species clearly visible on his chest.

Personality
This Kuma is smarter than his father, and a good bodyguard for Heihachi. One day, when it was absorbed in watching TV, he suddenly went wild at the sight of a martial artist with a scarlet go-gi.

Kuma is secretly in love with Ling Xiaoyu's pet Panda, who is aptly named Panda.

Abilities
Kuma fights using an "original" fighting style called Kuma Shinken.

In the earlier games, Kuma Shinken took many elements from the Jack models' fighting style. However, in later games, the art started to gain some originality with unique strikes and even a "hunting" mode which puts Kuma on all fours for more attacks.

In Tekken 7: Fated Retribution, Kuma's uses the large salmon as a main weapon and used as a baseball bat to knock his opponents as his Rage Art.
