Kuma - TEKKEN 5 Panda's Ending - Red Bow Tie Costume
Original Creation
Kuma
This special Kuma costume appears in Panda's ending in TEKKEN 5. In the scene, Kuma visits Panda at the Mishima Zaibatsu headquarters, hoping to impress her. He wears a bright red bow tie around his neck and white formal cuffs with dark checkered details around his wrists, while keeping his natural brown fur. His playful appearance makes this costume memorable, especially because he arrives to see Panda with flowers, only for her to send him falling through a trapdoor.
For my TEKKEN 8 recreation, I brought back Kuma's special TEKKEN 5 ending appearance using his natural brown fur, a small red bow accessory around his neck, and a silver wrist accessory. The modern version features thicker, more realistic fur, a lighter face, and a larger body compared with the original. Although the red bow is smaller and the wrist accessory does not have the same white checkered design, my recreation captures the main idea of Kuma's funny and charming appearance from Panda's ending.
The outfit was recreated entirely using TEKKEN 8's standard in-game customization options, without using mods, Tekken Coins, Tekken Shop items, or items unlocked through online matches or the Tekken Fight Lounge.
