Raging Beast
A ferocious bear who uses a variation of the Heihachi Mishima style of karate. He is more than a mere pet to Heihachi, and stands as sort of a partner with him. When Jin was in control of the Mishima Zaibatsu, Kuma rescued the company in Heihachi’s stead. He has also sat on the Mishima Zaibatsu’s board of directors but lost control of the leadership to Jin. Filled with the desire for revenge, he reunites with his master Heihachi and heads to the Antarctic.

Kuma has the damage output of a freight train, but this is far outweighed by the high workrate needed to land the damage. While he has better than normal reach with his punches, his kicks are truly dreadful, and he falls into the same issues as Law in that his only real anti-projectile countermeasure involves entering a stance first; Kuma’s is particularly dangerous in that blocking is impossible in his. With practice he can be a threat, but without some serious work put into him… well, he’s a bear.
