What is "iron fist" in Japanese?

Answer 1

Tekken!!!!

Information:
The series is one of the earliest 3D fighting game franchises, with the first game released less than two years after Virtua Fighter. There are five Tekken sequel games, Tekken 2, Tekken 3, Tekken Tag Tournament, Tekken 4, and Tekken 5. An update of Tekken 5 dubbed Tekken 5.1, and a further update Tekken: Dark Resurrection is now out in arcades. One can easily differentiate it by the red spotlights in the character selection background and green lifebars. A second more major update named Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection was released in arcades in late 2005. Also, Tekken 6 is in development for release on the PlayStation 3 console. The series also has one game for a non-PlayStation console called Tekken Advance which was released for the Nintendo Game Boy Advance in 2001; however, Namco did not release any more Game Boy Tekken titles after this due to the franchise's exclusive deal on the PlayStation platform. A PSP version of Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection simply called Tekken: Dark Resurrection was released in Japan and US in summer 2006. The European version is out now .

As with many fighting games, players each choose a character from different, exotic worldwide settings and fight hand-to-hand with each other. It is primarily a competitive two-player series, but a human player can fight an AI-controlled character for practice or amusement.

In the original Tekken game, the player would fight on arenas. The name of the location they were fighting on was displayed in the right corner of the screen. The locations included Angkor Vat, Szechwan, Monument Valley, Chicago, Kyoto, Fiji, Windermere, Venezia, Akropolis, King George Island, and Chiba Marine Stadium in Japan. But as for the rest of the Tekken games, no real locations are displayed in-game during fights.

Tekken differs from other hand to hand combat games in some important ways. Traditional fighting games are usually played with buttons that correspond to the strength of the attack (for example, strong punch or weak kick). Tekken, however, dedicates a button to each limb of the fighter, making learning special attacks more of an intuitive process. The player could watch the animation on screen and figure out the appropriate command (if the character kicks low with his right leg, the move is probably executed by pressing down and right kick, or some variation thereof). Whereas traditional fighting games, such as Street Fighter, involve inputting commands as rapidly and accurately as possible, Tekken slows the action down, emphasizing rhythm, strategy, and deception over speed and reaction.

The Tekken games are popular within the martial arts community thanks primarily to the fact that most of the characters' fighting techniques can be found in real life martial arts. However, there is some question as to the accuracy of the style labels ascribed to certain characters. For example, in previous releases of the game the character Paul Phoenix is listed accurately as fighting using judo (his fighting style is listed as integrated Martial Art based on Judo...) despite competition judo not generally allowing punching and kicking (striking is known in Judo as Atemi-waza, but it is not allowed in competition). Similarly, the character of Marshall Law is listed as being a practitioner of "martial arts", yet in fact the fighting techniques of fellow characters Nina Williams, Hwoarang or Eddy Gordo are as much "martial arts" as anything Marshall Law does. Indeed, one who is familiar with the work of Bruce Lee would not fail to see the similarity between the Jeet Kune Do founder's fighting in movies and the techniques of his fictional counterpart in the game series as well as the similarities in physical appearance. This misunderstanding concerning Marshall Law's 'martial arts' is commonly attributed to the fact that in the manual for the American PS1 release of Tekken 2, the translator for the manual missed a small pun whereby Marshall Law practiced 'Marshall arts', a reference to his own name. Other Tekken characters also draw heavily from real life action heroes, such as Lei Wulong & Craig Marduk, video game analogues of Jackie Chan & large wrestlers/mixed martial artists such as Bill Goldberg, Nathan Jones and Bob Sapp, respectively. Namco themselves have stated that the styles in Tekken are not supposed to accurately represent real styles but merely give the impression of them.

in the english language to be "ironfisted" refers to being miserly or stingy.. so an iron fist in Japan is probably a stingy tourist in Japan?
