In the mid 90s, most male characters in video games were typically strong, masculine men (sometimes even trying too hard to be "manly"). That's part of the reason I thought Tokio was a unique and interesting design in Fighting Vipers. What is this game, Fighting Vipers? These characters don't seem like they're trying to be tough or like anyone else. These characters are... refreshingly different. Tokio is a tough martial artist and happens to have a lankier body type and that majestic long hair. Don't hate, because the dude is even a member of some "gang"... so he says. Is he actually in a boy band? lol.

Tokio's default outfit is very 90s (gotta respect the denim jacket) but also somewhat odd and possibly forgettable. But how can you go wrong with a name like Tokio? I dunno... I just think he's a cool. He also kinda has some Android 17 vibes going on. Tokio has some pretty solid and cool martial arts-based attacks in his moveset, but in some ways, not so memorable of a fighting style.
