Introduction
Ogre was introduced in Tekken 3, and returned for Tekken Tag Tournament and Tekken Tag Tournament 2, although these games are non-canonical.
He is the final boss along with True Ogre in Tekken 3. Ogre is the Aztec God of Fighting infused with mythical powers. Despite not being able to defy gravity during gameplay, Ogre can be seen doing this in animations shown both before Ogre fights an opponent and after Ogre defeats an opponent. Also, Ogre can absorb souls to increase its power (like it does to Heihachi Mishima, or Jin Kazama if Heihachi is the one that defeats Ogre in Tekken 3), depending on how strong the soul is. Heihachi Mishima was after Ogre to use its blood on himself, hoping to enhance the action of the Devil Gene and to become the ultimate immortal life form.
His main notabilities was his lack of original moves and his attacks on various fighters of Tekken 2. The entire situation was that he had attacked various fighters and that he stole some of their moves during the attack such as Jun's Windmill kick or Baek's Hunting Hawk. Though he was only confirmed to have attack Baek, Jun and the first King his moves are also taken from Lee, Anna, Wang, Bruce along with various Tekken Force members. These attacks would result with the hatred of various characters namely, Hwoarang, Jin and the second King. In Street Fighter X Tekken Jin and Hwoarang still remember Ogre's actions towards Jun and Baek as seen in both of their win quotes against him. His influence as a "fighting god" can be seen in Street X Tekken as characters like Steve and even Akuma recognize and respect his immense strength. His origins are are unknown as he had emerged from earth but his story shows that he is a weapon left on earth by unknown creatures, Julia had even called him a legendary living biological weapon in her win quote.
His title in the original trilogy is God of Fighting.

History
Gameplay
To see from whom Ogre got his individual moves from, please refer to his move list.
Ogre's fighting style is mostly a combination of moves from other Tekken characters, who did not appear in Tekken 3. Anna Williams seems to be the sole exception. This is because she was not featured in the arcade version of game, thus justifying Ogre's use of her moves, however, why she is later featured in the console version is unknown. Because Ogre "stole" most of his techniques, he is the only character with no string-combo, other than Gon.
Story
- Prologue
- The God of Fighting... The legend of Native Americans says Ogre is the war weapon which creatures from outer space left on earth in ancient time. It understands entire structures of all living and artificial beings, and absorbs them. It wanders the earth in search of strong souls.
- Ending, "Awakening" (Unofficial Synopsis)
- Ogre has successfully transformed into its true form, True Ogre, and bursts through the temple. Tekken Force helicopters have arrived to shoot True Ogre. However True Ogre destroys both helicopters with a fire breath and a slam. He then roars as the temple burns behind him.
Trivia
- Ogre's bosses in the Tekken Force side game in Tekken 3 are (in order of appearance) King, Hwoarang, Jin Kazama, and Heihachi Mishima.
- Ogre becomes a playable character in Tekken 3 after beating the game eight times.
- In the Arcade opening movie for Tekken 3, which shows Ogre and Jin, along with cameos of Kazuya and Jun, Ogre is shown in the darkness holding something. It is usually interpreted as either the top of a temple pillar or a head with long hair. It is presumed to be Jun's head, although it wasn't confirmed. It's likely that this was a vision of Jin thinking that this is what has happened to his mother, since Jin did not see the fight between Jun and Ogre.([1])

Story
Something was calling him form a place beyond reach. Yet with each passing day the voice grew louder. Within the darkness, the eyes of Ogre opened. The voice sounded like the one who had created him in the distant past. Shaking off the darkness, Ogre stood tall.
Ogre: (It's finally time.)
Rival Battle Ogre stands before the box. He uses his telekinetic powers to open it. A few seconds later, he saw a Hadouken coming to him. Ogre stops it with his hand and says: (So this planet does have some strong fighters, after all.). He then sees Akuma standing over a mountain. Ogre says: (Come then, tempt your fate at my hands.).
Ending The box is opening. Ogre is seen walking towards the box and stops. He spreads his arms and is starting to glow, the power of the box was taking him. A few seconds later, Ogre dissapears and enters inside the box. The box closes and flies into the sky.
Epilogue The alien race that created Ogre had left him here on Earth, but after thousands of years, they sent a means for him to return home. The Pandora. The box had taken him apart and carried him home.
When Ogre regained consciousness, he found before his eyes countless mechanical versions of himself. Instantly, Ogre understood. He had been left on Earth to gain strategic information through his various battles.
Now, the data Ogre possessed would be passed along to this invading army, to increase their power...
Trivia
- Ogre serves as the final boss for each character from the Street Fighter series. Likewise, Akuma is the final boss for each Tekken character.

Character Trivia
- In the Japanese version, Ogre is written as Toshin (闘神). "闘" means "fight" or "war", and "神" means "God". He is called Ogre in Japan also.
- Ogre bears many similarities to Cell from Dragon Ball Z. They are both aliens, green, tall and have similar personalities and attitudes. Also, they both absorb the souls of other lifeforms to get more power and possess many moves from various fighters from their universes.
- Ogre is thought to have attacked and killed Jun Kazama and other Tekken characters because those characters disappeared from the Tekken games and Ogre has some of their moves.
- Although Ogre can speak (what it is saying is unintelligible), True Ogre is incapable of speaking. It can only roar.
- Ogre's rivals in Tekken Card Challenge are Heihachi Mishima, King II and Hwoarang.
- Most of Ogre's moves are borrowed from other characters. Overall, he only has three unique moves (Ancient Power, Serpent's Venom, and Azteca Shoot (TTT only)).
- In his Street Fighter x Tekken command list it lists "Owl's hunt" as one of his moves despite the fact that it's actually True Ogre's move. A noticeable ability introduced was also the fact that he has pyrokinesis as some of his kicks and attacks have fire in them.
