Azucena Milagros Ortiz Castillo
- Fighting Style: Mixed Martial Arts (Striker)
- Nationality: Peruvian
Azucena Milagros Ortiz Castillo (hereafter "Azucena"), who first appeared in Tekken 8, was created under the themes of "an open and vivacious image that symbolizes South America " and " always fighting with a happy look. " and she is a Peruvian Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighter.
The " Libertador " pose, which is meant to provoke the opponent, makes the fighter unable to guard, but instead automatically detects and avoids the opponent's upper and lower level attacks. In the heated state, Libertador is even more powerful. The Libertador will automatically evade and then launch a counterattack, putting the opponent under constant pressure to read the opponent.
The fighting style is inspired by the traditional Incan martial art of "Lumi Maki," and the colorful, patterned fashion is inspired by Peruvian traditional costumes. In addition to these traditions, Azucena will be joining Tekken 8 with a unique hairstyle, sneakers, and other modern, sporty elements.
Azucena's character setup can also be found on the official Tekken 8 website.
Raven
- Fighting Style: Ninjutsu
- Nationality: unknown
Raven's massive physique and evolved ninjutsu skills, acquired through rigorous training, have refined her signature transformable battle style.
By using the " Soul Field," Raven is able to attack from a distance, using his alter ego and instantaneous movement, and can also surprise attack from mid-range, making him a tricky fighter. When he is in his heated state, his attacks using his shadowy alter ego are even more powerful, and he can overwhelm his opponents with his skillful, unimpeded attacks.
Raven is a ninjutsu master, but also has the physical strength to deliver powerful blows. For Tekken 8, the concept of "costumes that show off massive physical beauty" has been retained, but the silhouettes of the four limbs have been carefully considered so that the acrobatic ninjutsu moves can be easily seen. In addition, the kunai on her waist has been changed to a dagger and the tattoos on her arms have been increased to recall the period when she was not in the series.
Raven's character settings can also be found on the official Tekken 8 website.
