Shunya Yamashita has been doing illustrations for Kotobukiya’s Tekken Bishoujo line for a while, starting with Christie (review), then Alisa and Asuka, and more recently Jaycee & Lili. It seems like this project extends beyond the figure-world though, with Shunya taking on (basically) the whole Tekken cast! Including, yes, the animal fighters. Amazing, right?
We already know that they are doing a Tekken Bishonen line (along with Xiaoyu), so pretty much any of these illustrations could potentially be made into figures. And man, is there a lot to chose from! So which of these would you like to see made next? Check them all out in the gallery and let us know in the comments!

When i emailed you i hadn’t actually looked at them in great detail. Zafina looks super impressive as well. But if they can match Anna as close as they can to that illustration it would be so fantastic. She’s always kind of looked a bit man-ish in the official art but this changes everything!
Anna is also my favorite of the girls, I think if they can render her tights correctly (hopefully with real stockings!) she will be stunning. I’m glad they are putting more effort into the sculpts for the Tekken line, so we will get all the little details Shunya has put in.
I also found out about this from Fighters Generation, good art here.
figthers gen is my go to for anything fighting game. They seem to be the first to know
Contrast between the portrayal of male character and female characters is so ridiculous I’m wondering if Yamashita’s doing some exercise in satire.
