GENERAL/STORY:
King is a pro wrestler from Mexico with mysterious leopard mask. Armor King, King's mentor and foster father, was dead. King pledged on Armor King's grave that he would seek revenge against the man responsive for his mentor's death. The man was currently serving time in an Arizona State Penitentiary. With the money he saved from professional wrestling tournaments, King arranged for the murderer's release from prison and sent him a plane ticket. With his plans in motion, King headed for the Tournament to await his sworn enemy, the Vale Tudo fighter - Craig.

King's friendship with Craig Marduk developed during the King of Iron Fist Tournament 5. At the end of the previous tournament, King caught wind of an attack upon Craig. He blew a gasket when he heard the assailant looked exactly like Armor King. "Who in the hell would do such a tasteless imitation?!” King said. King was determined to learn the true identity of Craig’s attacker. During that time, King heard the King of Iron Fist Tournament 6 would soon be held. He decided to enter the tournament with Craig.

The "original" King from Tekken and Tekken 2 died sometime before Tekken 5. The second (and current) King appears in Tekken 3 through Tekken 6.

REVIEW:
I swear if I hear one more person refer to King as "the guy with the lion-head" I swear I'm going to pile-drive their ass. For those that are uneducated on the matter, King has a Leopard MASK, and is based off of the famous Japanese manga character, Tiger Mask.

Anyway, the trademark wrestler for the Tekken series, King has always managed to stand out in the series as an interesting and unique character. He's a cool tribute to Mexican wrestling, and some would say he's also a tribute to Tiger Mask, which was a Japanese manga (1968) and was a name used by several real-life Japanese pro-wrestlers as a gimmick. 

His moves have developed greatly throughout the series, and he now has some of the smoothest, flashiest, and most brutal wrestling moves of any fighting game wrestler... On that note, he's also a blast to use! REEEWWRR!!!! How does he make those noises anyway? He's not a real leopard, contrary to his realistic leopard sounds.
