Panda (パンダ) is a character in the Tekken fighting game series. She is, as her name implies, a giant Panda. She is the loyal pet, best friend, and bodyguard of Ling Xiaoyu.
She has the same fighting style as Kuma, Heihachi Mishima's pet grizzly bear of which she is a palette swap of in all of her appearances with the exception of Tekken Tag Tournament 2 where she finally gets her own slot. Like Xiaoyu, Panda made her debut in Tekken 3.

History
Edit
Tekken 3 Edit
Panda is the bodyguard of Xiaoyu.
Tekken 4 Edit
Panda is given her own story. In this story, it chronicles Panda as missing Kuma somewhat, and throughout her prologue, she is seen thinking about Kuma. In her Tekken 4 ending, she hands over control of the Mishima Zaibatsu to Xiaoyu, and then she calls Xiaoyu over to an abandoned wrestling ring. She then explains to Xiaoyu that she has decided to search for Kuma on her own and wishes for Xiaoyu to do the same with Jin Kazama.
Tekken 5 Edit
After the conclusion of The King of Iron Fist Tournament 4, Ling Xiaoyu had been feeling depressed. Panda thought long and hard about how she could make Xiaoyu happy again. Panda decided that the best approach would be to find Jin Kazama. Panda searched for Jin, but she was unable to find him. One day, Xiaoyu came to her excited. "Panda, I've decided to enter The King of Iron Fist Tournament 5, and I need your help once again". Panda didn't quite understand Xiaoyu's reason for entering the tournament, but she decided to help if it would make her happy.
Tekken 6 Edit
Panda took part in The King of Iron Fist Tournament 5 in the form of Xiaoyu's bodyguard.
Panda was relieved to learn Heihachi Mishima still lived, but only briefly--her moment of relief passed by quickly, due to the sudden announcement of The King of Iron Fist Tournament 6.
Bound by duty, Panda finds herself once again propelled into harm's way.
