19	->'''Origin''': [[PartsUnknown Unknown]]
20	->'''Fighting Style:''' ''[[DittoFighter Mimicry]] (''Tag''), Kazama-Style Traditional Martial Arts (''Tag 2'')''
21	->'''Appears in:''' ''Tag''-''Tag 2''
22

24
25	->A non-canon character who had only made appearances in the ''Tag Tournament'' games, as her name suggests, not much is known about her. ''Tag 2'' reveals that Unknown is merely Jun who had been possessed.
26
27	->Her playstyle in ''Tag'' is a DittoFighter that can change what character she's mimicking, much like [[Franchise/MortalKombat Shang Tsung]]. In ''Tag 2'', she plays similarly to Asuka and Jun, with a few "boss" moves that makes her even more high risk - high reward.
28	----
29
30	* AmbiguouslyEvil: In Ogre's ''[=TTT=]'' ending, she taunts Ogre just as he is about to absorb Jin. Sure, she's probably attracting his attention solely for a fight, but doing so also releases Jin from Ogre's grasp, saving him from being absorbed, and we have no other detail because the ending isn't voiced...
31	** You can try losing both rounds against her in ''Tag 2'' (Arcade Mode or Time Attack Mode). After you lose to her, watch the "Continue?" animation closely... it's kind of creepy to say the least.
32	* AnimalMotifs: Possessed by a lupine spirit in the first ''Tag''. Said spirit disappeared completely in the second ''Tag'' game. Although, once defeated in Arcade mode, a few wolf spirits are shown attacking her repeatedly until she finally succumbs.
33	* AwesomeButImpractical:
34	** Maining her was this back in ''Tag 1''. To properly main her you'd need to know the moveset of everyone she can turn into, as when you tag her in she'll have another character's moveset, although to mitigate this, pressing R3 changes the moveset to another character at random, but you still need to know a decent chunk of the cast otherwise you'll just keep switching for a while. And even switching characters can be messy as you'll need to look at her idle pose and quickly notice who she's copying, and some characters like Jin and Paul have similar idles.
35	** Unlike Mokujin, she's overall worse than the characters she copies, because she's a female character and they mostly smaller limbs, and most of the characters in ''Tag 1'' are male.
36	** She has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doETSshXk6A& actual infinite combos]], as doing tag combos seemingly resets the pushback from juggles, but you'll never be able to do this as the only visual cue when you switch movesets is what idle pose she's doing, and you'd have to quickly react to what she switched to and then use a specic move to continue the combo, and not everyone has good combo fillers for that even if a player could react fast enough, leaving such stylish combos for only tool assisted videos.
37	** Lastly to bring her down some more, her HP value is among the lowest it can be at 140, although unlike other characters in the same category, she can switch movesets to try to gain the upper hand. She also hates everyone on the cast so she's never activating netsu.
38	* BigBad: For the Tag games.
39	* BodyPaint:
40	** The [[CoveredInGunge purple ooze that covers her body]] seems to be embedded in her skin. Without it, she'd be naked. See her ''[=TTT1=]'' and ''[=TTT2=]'' endings.
41	** From some of the continue screens, it seems that her ooze, uh, [[IncrediblyLamePun oozes]] in and out of the skin. In her IdleAnimation, it occasionally creeps onto her left eye and reverts a few seconds later.
42	* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Certainly the case in the first ''Tag''. The second title drops the "brainwashed" part and amps up the crazy.
43	* CuteAndPsycho: She's half-nude and smiles a lot, but it's one of [[PsychoticSmirk those]] smiles and where she fits on the good and bad scale is... well, unknown.
44	* DemBones: Some of her spike attacks have skeletons adorning them.
45	* DemonicPossession: By a wolfie spirit. She breaks free of it in her ending, though.
46	* DependingOnTheWriter: Her own identity is this. [[spoiler: ''6's'' artbook reveals she was planned to be Jun's younger sister, which's why Unknown defaults to her fighting style. However the same artbook says this detail was later dropped, and this makes it dubious if she was still planned to be related to Jun at all in ''Tag 1''. Unknown looking caucasian while Jun is Japanese only makes it harder to create any connection between them. In ''Tag 2'' she's Jun herself.]]
47	* DittoFighter: Unlike other examples, she doesn't even need to wait until the end of the round. No longer the case in ''[=TTT2=]'', as Unknown uses only [[spoiler: Jun's]] style augmented by her boss moves.
48	* DyingAsYourself: Implied in her ''[=TTT2=]'' ending. After being defeated, Unknown's body is slowly sinking in the goop of her own stage, but then Angel appears and extends a hand to Unknown, making the purple goo on her body dissolve, "purifying" her in her last moments [[spoiler:and presumably reverting her back into Jun]], before she sinks into oblivion.
49	* EvilSoundsDeep: Her grunts in ''Tag'' are Nina's ''[=T1=]'' voice distorted. Like Angel's, except that Unknown's grunts are ''even'' deeper. [[spoiler: In ''Tag 2'', a distorted version of Jun's voice is used instead.]]
50	* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: We don't get to know much about her other than [[spoiler:she's a nude, possessed Jun with some bizarre supernatural powers.]]
51	* FallenAngel:
52	** In her ''[=TTT2=]'' ending, [[spoiler:like her default boss ending, she drowns down in her purple goop stage. Angel appears, touches her, and her ooze disappears while Unknown slowly sinks down to oblivion]].
53	** If you think about it, her stage's name, [[MeaningfulName Fallen Garden]], is an extension of this.
54	* FauxAffablyEvil: She's nicer than when she is in her [[spoiler: Jun form]]. That's probably because she wants to ([[SNKBoss and probably will]]) absorb you.
55	* FinalBoss: Of the two ''Tag'' games. In the original she is fought at the final stage as a solo character, in the sequel she [[spoiler:begins the fight as Jun Kazama. Once Jun is defeated, she transforms her ornate garden into a nightmarish hell of black muck and herself into Unknown]].
56	* {{Foil}}: To her alter ego. Whereas [[spoiler:Jun]] is quite reserved, conservative and graceful... Unknown is quite sensual (if you can call it that), unrestrained and zombie-like.
57	* FullFrontalAssault: She is technically naked, aside from the purple ooze which covers her body. Her alternate costume in ''Tag 1'', however, gives her a torn brown dress.
58	* GiantHandsOfDoom: In ''Tag 2'', Unknown can summon a giant disembodied hand from the ground, which is useful for starting combos. This hand can also be used in a certain UnblockableAttack that swallows ''[[HPToOne your entire health bar bar a pinprick]]'' if you get caught in it (only if she is the enemy; if you're playing as her, it deals a mere 15% damage).
59	* GigglingVillain: When transforming in Boss mode, she takes an erotic breath before she turns her head up to her opponent and starts chuckling. Listen carefully.
60	* GlassCannon: ''Tag 1'' unlike the rest of the franchise, had different HP values, and Unknown was among those with the lowest HP, 140 when the average was 151.
61	* HatesEveryoneEqually: In ''Tag 1'' she hates everyone in the cast except Golden Tetsujin and Xiaoyu with a special green costume, and those two are special exceptions. Because of that, Unknown never gets netsu, because unlike ''Tag 2'', netsu is not activated if a character hates another.
62	* HPToOne: That portal pool in ''Tag 2''. [[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard Nope, it isn't that damaging when you're controlling her]].
63	* MamaBear: In Ogre's ''[=TTT=]'' ending, she distracts Ogre from absorbing Jin by taunting him into a fight. [[spoiler: Considering that she's Jun, she'll probably smack him with a dose of maternal fury.]]
64	* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler: Of Jun.]]
65	* PortalPool: Has the ability to summon this for the aforementioned disembodied hand to rise in ''Tag 2''.
66	* PowerTattoo: The same as Jin's, only with reverse orientation.
67	* PromotedToPlayable: In both ''Tag'' games, she's an unplayable boss in the arcades, but the console versions make her playable.
68	* PsychoticSmirk: Unlike [[spoiler: Jun]], she smiles quite a bit. Even when she's as good as naked. Or threatening. Or batshit insane. Or all three.
69	* QuieterThanSilence: Does not NEED to say anything in her introduction. Her pose and the ominous wind sound effect is enough to convey her eeriness.
70	* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Her stage in the Arcade version of Tag 1 is shrouded in darkness like True Ogre's stage in Tekken 3, because the lower powered arcade hardware could barely handle having her wolf demon on screen at the same time as the 2 characters already on screen. She's also unselectable because the MirrorMatch final boss battle (with 2 wolves on screen) still lags like crazy.
71	* RiddleForTheAges: Fittingly. Who she is, why she starts with Jun's fighting style, why she has the same tattoo as Jin, why she wanted to fight Ogre in his ending, and what the wolf spirit controlling her is, are questions that plagued the minds of Tekken fans for years. [[spoiler: ''6's'' artbook says she was planned to be Jun's younger sister but that was dropped. Tag 2 [[{{Retcon}} retcons]] her as Jun, which would also explain why she showed up to fight Ogre in his ''Tag 1'' ending, but still doesn't answer what's up with Unknown's powers, how Jun even got them to begin with, and what connection they have with Devil Gene]]. And given Jun's canonical return in ''8'' making no allusion to Unknown save for a few reskinned moves, and the ''Tag'' games being non-canon, Bamco will be in no rush to answer anything surrounding her.
72	* TheReveal: [[spoiler:Jun]] serves as the FinalBoss in ''Tag 2''. When you beat her in the first round, [[spoiler:she becomes Unknown.]]
73	* {{Retcon}}: According to the [[AllThereInTheManual Tekken 6 artbook]], [[spoiler:she was originally supposed to be Jun's younger sister, but that was dropped when Tekken Tag became non-canonical. In Tag 2, she's Jun herself.]]
74	%%* SilentSnarker
75	* SpikesOfDoom: Capable of summoning these [[DeathFromAbove from above]] in ''Tag 2''.
76	* SuperpoweredEvilSide: She fits the superpowered side for [[spoiler: Jun]], but given [[spoiler: Jun]] herself is very much DarkerAndEdgier and GoodIsNotNice, and Unknown ''seems'' nicer (see FauxAffablyEvil above) consider it an InvertedTrope for now.
77	* SNKBoss: Not so much in the first ''Tag'' title, but moreso on the 2nd title. Let's see here. Rather large health bar with the ability to recover health? Check. Counters just like [[spoiler: Jun Kazama]] but much stronger and with higher priority? Check. [[HPToOne A move that can reduce your health to 1 point]] while force-tagging your partner in? Check. Attacks from above and/or below that can't be anticipated and are very punishing? Check. Aggressively using her boss moves while aggressively attacking you? Check. Of course, these boss moves are nerfed when playing as Unknown.
78	* SupernaturalGoldEyes: Very appropriate for someone who's [[spoiler: Jun's]] alter ego.
79	* TheScream: In both ''Tag'' games, if you look closely (maybe freeze framing a bit), Unknown's attack effects are actually white, screaming human faces.
80	* ThereWasADoor: Forcefully invoked in one of her command grabs, wherein, if her opponent is not backed up to an already extant wall, she creates one of hardened goo through which she then smashes her opponent. If she's paired up with her human form, she can change back and proceed from there.
81	* TheVoiceless: Other than her combat grunts, groans, and her [[GigglingVillain chuckle]], she doesn't say anything. [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools Which does more for her character than if she spoke]].
82	* TransformationSequence:
83	** [[spoiler: Jun undergoes one before becoming Unknown. Featuring erotic breathing, a giggle, and very dark goo.]]
84	** Though in ''Tag 2'', she does gain a special tag throw with [[spoiler:Jun]]. Unknown knocks her opponent into a wall (creating a wall out of hardened purple goo pillars if there was no actual wall behind the opponent) and she will transform into her alter ego before smashing them through the wall.
85	** She also reverts back into her alter ego in ''Tag 2'' Jin's ending cinematic.
86	** Funnily enough, in ''Tag'', Unknown ''will'' do a transformation sequence (i.e. being surrounded by electric charges) to tag with Devil if she is currently mimicking Kazuya.

103	* TheBusCameBack: After being absent for four games, it returns in ''Revolution'' where it occasionally appears as a secret boss.
104	* ChromeChampion: A metal version of Mokujin.
105	* DittoFighter: Mimics another character at random.
106	* HitboxDissonance: When copying Yoshimitsu, his "sword" doesn't have as much range as it looks like, and that's because his "sword" is just a pipe with a dented tip. This is done because Tetsujin is just a PaletteSwap of Mokujin, who has no such detail to his wooder sword. If it had as much range as it looks like, he'd be slightly better than Mokujin when copying Yoshimitsu specifically.
107	* MeaningfulName: His name literally translates to "Iron Man" in English.
108	* PaletteSwap: Of Mokujin.
109	* OutOfFocus: Tetsujin has no appearances outside of ''TTT'' until ''Revolution''.
110	* TheVoiceless: Just like Mokujin, he never utters a peep.
