Which bear character is Ling Xiaoyu’s pet in Tekken? Panda.

Panda is Ling Xiaoyu’s pet and companion in the Tekken series. Although Panda is also a playable fighter, her connection to Xiaoyu is primarily part of the characters’ background and recurring relationship rather than a conventional team partnership.

Xiaoyu first debuted in Tekken 3 as a Chinese martial artist and student connected to the Mishima Academy. Her cheerful personality, youthful ambition and desire to build a theme park distinguish her from the more revenge-driven members of the Mishima family. Panda accompanies her through this storyline and is commonly associated with her in character profiles.

A frequent mix-up is Kuma, the other famous bear in Tekken. Kuma is Heihachi Mishima’s trained bear and later becomes associated with the Mishima Zaibatsu. Panda is Kuma’s female counterpart and Xiaoyu’s pet. Alex and Roger are different animal fighters entirely: Alex is a dinosaur-like creature, while Roger is a kangaroo.
