Tekken Force
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tekken Force is a private corporate army in the Tekken series of fighting games. The Tekken Force was created by Heihachi Mishima after "The King of the Iron Fist Tournament 2" to act as a rapid-response task force. It is called "Tekkenshu" in the original Japanese version. Its tasks are somehow almost similar to the Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service Unit employed by the Umbrella Corporation in the Resident Evil series.
Heihachi dispatches the Tekken Force all over the world to quell small skirmishes in foreign countries in order to gain public approval and hide his true intent for world conquest. He seems to actually care about their lives, as it's said that he "mourned" the loss of an entire squadron that he sent to investigate the ruins that once held Ogre.

[edit] Trivia
- The Tekken Force members change in appearance in every game they appear in. In their first appearance in Tekken 3, they were gun wielding soldiers with dark coloured armour. In Tekken 4, they are gun wielding soldiers with either blue or pink armour. In Death by Degrees, they wield ninja weapons (katana/kunai) and dress similar to ninja.
- In Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection, for an unknown reason, Lee Chaolan can be customized to look like a Tekken Force member with reddish-maroon armor.
- Though in Tekken 4 they all have separate names, in Tekken 3 they were broken down into 4 groups named after birds. They were as follows; Crow (2pts) Hawk (4pts) Falcon (6pts) and Owl (8pts)
