Updated December 15, 2024, by Seth Parmer: Our fourth and final character is upon us in Tekken 8, introducing the first guest character to the game with Clive Rosfield from Final Fantasy 16. You can learn more about him in the newly updated list below, which is alphabetized, allowing you to locate Clive with ease!
36
Alisa Bosconovich
Starting with a unique character, Alisa Bosconovich is a Russian android who utilizes her thrusters and high mobility to overcome her competition, which won’t be too much of a hassle considering she can turn her arms into chainsaws, making her highly deadly in the arena.
As you likely guessed, her being an android means she doesn’t really have an age, but we do have her confirmed birthdate, height, and weight, which is at least something!

Asuka Kazama
Asuka Kazama is the next in line, sporting her Japanese school uniform and superb Kazama-Style Traditional Martial Arts skills, making her a devastating vigilante within the Tekken universe, which you will notice is a theme amongst the Kazama and Mishimas, as they are all tremendously strong.
We have her birthdate, age, height, and weight, which is more information than what was present with Alisa, something we will gladly take!

Azucena Milagros Ortiz Castillo
There aren’t many newcomers on Tekken 8’s massive roster, but Azucena is the exception to the rule, bringing her infectious love of coffee to the arena and her devastating mixed martial arts skills that showcase her striking prowess and ability to taunt and dance on her opponent.

Azucena Milagros Ortiz Castillo is a whirlwind of a character in Tekken 8. Her very strong early impressions likely made her a staple in the series going forward. That being said, no information is provided on her age, which is unfortunate!

Bryan Fury
Are you ready for a massive change-up from the characters we’ve been introduced to already? If not, well, we’re sorry, as it’s time to dive into Bryan Fury, the Harbinger of Choas, who is a master at kickboxing and blowing stuff to smithereens. You do not want to be on his bad side. Or near him.
Bryan Fury has a concrete birthdate as well as an official age, height, and weight, which is nice to have. So, if you want to learn more about this lunatic, you can find that information in the table below!

Claudio Serafino
Remaining in the realm of total badassery, Claudio Serafino is our next character. He is the strongest exorcist in Tekken’s world, and his use of Sirius Exorcist Arts demonstrates this. Don’t take this handsome Italian man lightly; he can be extraordinarily deadly if need be.
Aside from all that, not much else is known about Claudio. His age is a mystery, leaving us with only his birthdate, height and weight, which… is at least something.

Clive Rosfield
Clive Rosfield is the first guest character to join the robust roster of Tekken 8. Originally from Final Fantasy 16, Clive can use a wide variety of Eikons to his advantage, which are essentially god-like beings that he can summon, allowing him to use their powers to deliver devastating combos and immense damage.
No matter which way you slice it, Clive should not be taken lightly, as his ability to unleash chaos and destruction is unmatched, making him fit in lovely with the fast-paced and hectic combat present in Tekken 8. Additionally, thanks to the fantastic story of Final Fantasy 16, we have even more information on Clive!

Devil Jin
It’s good that we just covered the best exorcist around because we now have Devil Jin on our hands! While you may assume his age, height, weight, and everything will be the same as regular Jin Kazama, you would not be more wrong, as apparently none of that is the same.

Eddy Gordo
Eddy Gordo was the first DLC character added to Tekken 8, which makes sense as he is one of the most popular fighters in the series. He makes quick work of his Capoeira to mix his opposition up and punish them into oblivion for guessing wrong or daring to attack during his intense movements.
Gordo’s exact birthdate, age, height, and weight are all present and officially confirmed, making us sigh a breath of relief. This Brazillian powerhouse is a fan favorite for a reason, and he’s back and better than ever in Tekken 8!

Emilie de Rochefort
Emilie de Rochefort, or as you may know her, Lili, is a high school student who uses her advanced ballerina training and self-taught martial arts to her advantage, becoming a tremendously devastating force of nature in the arena, especially in Tekken 8, where she shines bright.
Lili is deceivingly strong, incredibly nimble, and excruciatingly annoying to deal with in combat. On the plus side, we have her birthdate, age, height, and weight all locked and recorded, which you can find in the table below!

Feng Wei
Feng Wei is our next fighter. He uses the ancient Chinese art of Taijiquan to obliterate his opponents. He’s fierce and remarkably strong but also deceptively fast and very agile, making him a tremendously tough challenge in the arena, especially when he gets on a roll.

Like most of the other characters on this list, Feng Wei has an official age, birthdate, height, and weight, which gives him a perfect score. Unlike some other people… Devil Jin.

Heihachi Mishima
Heihachi Mishima is somehow back and better than ever, looking much more fierce than he ever did thanks largely to Tekken 8’s more aggressive playstyle, having him take full advantage of the Heat mechanic. His use of the Mishima-Style Fighting Karate looks overwhelming and potent, making him substantially more dubious in combat.
Adding to the staggering list of Mishimas and Kazamas in Tekken 8, Heihachi’s surprise appearance is a welcomed one and further proves just how dominant this bloodline is. He’s an extraordinarily popular character, so you can find out much more about him in the table below, such as how he is likely from Japan, but the government refuted him, so that’s technically unknown.

Hwoarang
Moving on from Taijiquan to Taekwondo with Hwoarang, the South Korean fighter who uses his monstrous leg strength to deliver devastating and fast-paced kicks, making him a mix-up king who can apply suffocating amounts of pressure in a split-second. To say he’s exceptionally deadly would be an understatement.
Hwoarang is a super popular character overall, so of course all of his information will be there and readily available, which the table below will contain!

Jack-8
Similarly to Alisa at the top of the list, Jack-8 is also an android. He uses his brute strength to tear apart his opposition, allowing him to dish out tremendous amounts of damage, which is understandable considering he is an absolute unit of machinery.
Also, like Alisa, a lot about Jack-8 is a mystery, making him an odd one to document in this list. Nonetheless, like all the others, you can find what we do know about him in the table below!

Jin Kazama
We were already acquainted with his Devil Form. Still, here we have the regular version of Jin Kazama, who is part of the massive Kazama and Mishima family bloodline that persists through each game of the series. He serves as Tekken 8’s main protagonist, using his Devil Gene-infused karate prowess to climb his way to victory.

Jun Kazama
Speaking of the Kazama bloodline, next up is Jun Kazama, the mother of Jin. She was presumed dead after Ogre attacked her but has returned surprisingly as a playable character in Tekken 8, quickly putting her Kazama-Style Traditional Martial Arts to use.
Jun Kazama’s current state of existence may be unknown, but her age, birthdate, height, and weight are not, which is more than enough for us to be happy with!

Kazuya Mishima
Staying within this storied and tremendously messed-up family, we have Jin’s father, Kazuya Mishima, up next. He serves as Tekken 8’s primary antagonist and villain, making him the ‘big bad’ of the story. Like his son, Kazuya also possesses the Devil Gene and infuses it with his Mishima-Style Fighting Karate to unleash ungodly amounts of damage and destruction.
Kazuya may have relinquished his Japanese nationality, but he can’t relinquish his age, height, birthdate, or weight, which we will have outlined in the table below!

King II
While simply displayed as ‘King’ in Tekken 8, this is actually the second King of the series, whose full name is King II, as the very first King passed away when they were 47. Both Kings were luchadors who greatly supported orphanages while wearing a jaguar mask. King II began training at the age of 24, immediately after the first passed on, continuing his legacy.

Kuma II
Similar to King, the Kuma playable in Tekken 8 is actually the second Kuma, despite its name being displayed as just ‘Kuma.’ While the first Kuma died of old age, the second one is still very young and healthy and has also been trained heavily by Heihachi Mishima, which you can see throughout its move list.
What more needs to be said about Kuma II? They’re a bear! They will maul you if you step in the ring with them, especially when you take a gander at their height and weight. However, he doesn’t have an official place of origin, but that’s not as important as them being a whole BEAR!

Lars Alexandersson
Did we mention Heihachi Mishima above? Well, let’s talk about another one of his kids, Lars Alexandersson, a former member of the Tekken Forces, who fights for justice with his advanced Tekken Force Martial Arts training. His nephew is Jin Kazama, who he teams up with at the end of Tekken 8 to put a stop to his half-brother, Kazuya. Again, this family is pretty extreme.
Lars’ exact birthdate is documented, but his age is only referenced, so it won’t be as accurate as the others. However, his height and weight are all confirmed, so we at least have that!

Lee Chaolan
Adopted by the aforementioned Heihachi Mishima, Lee Chaolan is Lars’s adoptive brother and another fan-favorite character of the series. He uses his well-honed martial arts skills to make quick work of his opposition while doing it in an elegant and fabulous style.
