Excerpt: Eddy in Tekken 5 Eddy Gordo ( , Edi Gorudo ? ) is an Afro-Brazilian video game character in the Tekken fighting game series. He made his first debut in Tekken 3 , and has appeared in every game thereafter (although he is not a true participant in Tekken 4 ). History Tekken 3 Eddy was born into one of the richest families in Brazil . Ever since he was a small boy, he knew he would one day take over the family business. He was well liked in his home town because he was a hard worker who treated others as his equals. One day, when he was 19, Eddy came home from school to find his father shot and dying.

He decided to enter the tournament, believing he could persuade the MFE to help him seek his long-awaited revenge. Tekken 4 Although Eddy Gordo was a playable...
