* ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}''
** DJ - Devil Jin
** Bob - Hwoarang, where "Bob" stands for "Boy on Bike", due to people's difficulty spelling Hwoarang's name. Things changed when a character '''named''' Bob was included in the ''Tekken 6'' roster. Nowadays, the "Bob" that is Hwoarang's FanNickname must be spelled with all caps, ''BOB''.
*** In Poland, Hwoarang is often called "Hawranek", after a character from local animated series "Maurycy i Hawranek".
** EWGF - short for Electric Wind God Fist, an improved juggle standing uppercut that leaves trails of lightning (even when it doesn't hit). Owned by the Mishima Karate users (Kazuya, Heihachi, and Devil Jin). Normal Jin also has it, but since it's not an uppercut, it's called EWHF (Electric Wind Hook Fist). Note that this move doesn't appear in the command list (only the normal Wind God Fist is listed); therefore, fans came up with "EWGF" to differentiate the two.
** Mystic Man Bentley/MMB - abbreviated honorific nickname for Heihachi Mishima, short for "Mystic Manly Heihachi [=MuthaF**kin'=] Mishima Bentley Jr."
** Robo-hime: Alisa Boskonovitch, for having [[Manga/{{Bleach}} Inoue Orihime's]] [[Creator/YukiMatsuoka Japanese voice actress]] and being practically her "[[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} future self]]"... being a RobotGirl.
** [[spoiler:Junknown]]: In ''[[DreamMatchGame Tekken Tag Tournament 2]]'', the FinalBoss ([[spoiler:Jun Kazama]]) [[spoiler:[[OneWingedAngel transforms into]] Unknown from the original ''[=TTT=]'' upon losing a round, [[IKnewIt confirming the years-long speculation]] from the time of ''Tag'' that Unknown was a [[DemonicPossession demon-possessed]] Jun Kazama in the first place.]]
** Creator/SethGreen: Ogre in ''VideoGame/StreetFighterXTekken'', as his model is just Seth's from ''VideoGame/StreetFighter4'' with a green palette swap and some accessories.
