Kuma (クマ, Kuma lit. Bear) is the name of two characters in the Tekken fighting game series. The first Kuma is the second's father. Kuma shares some of his moves with Jack and Ganryu. However, with the return of Jack (in the form of Jack-5) and Ganryu in Tekken 5, their shared moves were differentiated. Kuma's attacks were changed in the way that they are executed in a more animal-like way, ie: instead of doing the normal hand sweeps and normal uppercuts that Kuma and Panda had in previous games, they now do swinging scratches in Tekken 5. Kuma has the intelligence of an average, perhaps slightly dim human being, although this is obviously amazingly intelligent for a bear. He's pretty easygoing, perhaps even upbeat, although he's quite mocking and arrogant around Paul Phoenix. He adores Heihachi Mishima, however, and even though some of his endings might show Heihachi mistreating him, he's actually completely loyal to his master. Heihachi probably loves Kuma more than he does any... less
