IIb. CHANG, JULIA

Learn about Julia Chang's fighting style, story, and motivation for entering The King of Iron Fist Tournament 5 in Tekken 5.

Fighting Style: Xinyi Liuhe Quan (a Chinese martial art based on Baji Quan), also known as "Will of the Mind Six Fists," based upon "Eight Extremities Fist." While Xinyi Liuhe Quan may not exist, Baji Quan does and is officially known by its Japanese pronunciation "Hakkyokuken." Julia Chang incorporates a few Baji Quan-esque moves, such as elbows, and also utilizes many professional wrestling moves.

Story: Julia Chang's primary goal is to revive the lost forests. After failing to reclaim her research data during The King of Iron Fist Tournament 4, she returned home unconscious. While searching for new research avenues, her stolen data remained a persistent thought. A mysterious letter addressed to "Dear Julia" in foreign writing arrived, announcing the start of The King of Iron Fist Tournament 5. For the sake of her forest revival efforts, Julia resolved to enter the tournament once more.
