[edit] Introduction

Doctor Geppetto Boskonovitch (Джепетто Босконович), also referred to as Doctor B., is a character in the Tekken series. He, along with Gon, are the 2 bonus character of Tekken 3. He is only a playable character in Tekken 3 so far, though he makes an appearance in almost every game. Doctor Boskonovitch's Tekken 3 ending is the same as Yoshimitsu's Tekken 3 ending.

[edit] Trivia

• In the original Tekken and Tekken 2, Doctor Boskonovitch's surname is spelled "Bosconovitch." This spelling is re-assumed in 6's Alisa Bosconovitch
• In Tekken 3, Doctor Boskonovitch is available by completing the Tekken Force side game four times with the given "keys" at the end of each levels. On the fourth play through, the player will fight Doctor Boskonovitch after having defeated Heihachi Mishima in Stage Four (Mishima Fortress). After Boskonovitch is defeated, he will become a playable character.
• All of Doctor Boskonovitch's moves are, with few exceptions, taken from other characters in the Tekken series. Some moves have been slightly altered to fit his frail state and habit of falling down.
• Because he suffers from scoliosis, a disease that affects his spine, Boskonovitch will usually fall to the ground after performing a move unless "f" is pressed after performing it. In fact, in one of Boskonovitch's pre-fight animations, he falls to the ground after performing it.
• Although he is Russian by nationality, his first name is taken from the Italian character, Geppetto, from the fairy tale "Pinocchio".
• His Player Two outfit is basically Yoshimitsu's Player One outfit with a gold and blue color scheme.

[edit] Story

[edit] Tekken 2

Doctor Boskonovitch was kidnapped by Kazuya Mishima in the run-up to the King of Iron Fist Tournament 2 and was forced to work for him. Some of the many projects involved the creation of the bio-weapons Roger and Alex, as well as the completion of the Prototype Jack unit. After completing his tasks, and before being executed, Doctor Boskonovitch is rescued by the friend he helped save previously, Yoshimitsu.

Doctor Boskonovitch was a leading scientist of the former USSR. At the age of 12, he designed a new type of ballistic missile, and instantly became famous in the scientific world. After losing his own daughter,Alisa, Boskonovitch has been doing research on human resurrections and cold-sleep machines. Through these experiments, he became active in cloning and the creation of androids, such as Jack.

With no sense of good or evil, he works only to somehow revive Alisa.

Before the second King of Iron Fist tournament, he was captured by Kazuya Mishima and was forced to do genetic research pertaining to martial artists. However, he was also able to create a new type of cold-sleep machine. He is responsible for saving Yoshimitsu from death, and Boskonovitch himself was also saved from the Mishimas' by Yoshimitsu.

Now, Boskonovitch is infected with a mysterious disease. In order to cure himself and to revive his daughter, he needs the blood of the fighting god (Ogre). He is the only man in the world who knows the truth behind the mysterious fighting god in this tournament.

[edit] Ending Animation "Ogre's Blood"

A bubbling green substance is shown in a jar labeled "Ogre's Blood". Yoshimitsu is shown looking at a rat in a cage. Next, it is revealed that Doctor Boskonovitch is beside him. They are apparently testing Ogre's blood on the rat. The rat starts to drink it. Yoshimitsu and Doctor Boskonovitch turn their heads and look at each other. After a few seconds, they go back to watching the rat drink Ogre's blood. The rat turns its face so that it is facing the screen. Dramatic music starts playing. Yoshimitsu is shown running out of the building while holding Doctor Boskonovitch under one of his arms. The rat, now gigantic, bursts through the building.

[edit] Pre-fight Animations

Doctor Boskonovitch raises his arms in front of himself slightly, and energy surrounds his body for a short while. Then, Boskonovitch lowers his arms as he goes into his fighting stance.

Doctor Boskonovitch stretches his arms out to his sides. Then, energy surrounds his body for a short while, and he falls to the ground on his stomach.

Notes: Boskonovitch actually starts the fight on his stomach if this is the pre-fight animation that he performs. Also, the beginning of this pre-fight animation is very similar to a pre-fight animation performed by Kuma and Panda.

[edit] Win Animations

1, 2, 3, or 4: Doctor Boskonovitch squirms around on the ground on his back from left to right a few times. Then, he raises his head and looks up and forward. Finally, he lays his head back on the ground and starts laughing.

[edit] Tekken: The Motion Picture

Doctor Boskonovitch is featured in Tekken: The Motion Picture. Lei Wulong, Jane, and Jack-2 visit him in his science lab. Jack-2 needs his help because Jane is ill. When the destruction button is hit by Lee Chaolan, Doctor Boskonovitch, Lei, Jane and Jack-2 escaped. Unfortunately, Jack-2's torso is crushed by a door. Doctor Boskonovitch and Lei promised to look after Jane for Jack-2.

[edit] Tekken Tag Tournament

While not a playable character in Tekken Tag Tournament Doctor Boskonovitch can be seen in the crowd of people cheering in the mini game, Tekken Bowling. It is even possible to "take him out" using a bowling ball.

[edit] Tekken 4

Doctor Boskonovitch appears in Bryan Fury's Tekken 4 ending. In it, he explains to Bryan that he will now mechanize him and allow him to be completely reborn in a new incarnation. Bryan lays supine in the chair and Boskonovitch holds a gun-shaped device containing sleeping gas. Bidding him sweet dreams, he injects the gas into Bryan. Throughout, he speaks in a very gentle, paternal tone and is very calm.

[edit] Death by Degrees

Although he does not appear in person in Death by Degrees, Nina Williams' spin-off game, he is mentioned several times in journals and documents, and he has a laboratory on the Solitaria Penitentiary island, although it's abandoned. In Lukas' journal, Lukas shows resentment towards Boskonovitch, as Boskonovitch gets all the attention and they are shutting Lukas down, and he takes "that souvenir Boskonovitch left behind" to aid him in his plans to make the people that shut him down pay. Boskonovitch is the creator of Type J and the J Robots. Inside his locker in his laboratory is a document titled "Type J" report, detailing testing of Type J's abilities. In it, it states that the cranial area fell short of specified modifications, due to an emphasis on weight reduction, so a strong shock to the cranial area places great stress on the sensors. In the worst case scenario, the A.I. unit could be destroyed. "Therefore it is of utmost importance that we implement a fix at once...".

[edit] Tekken 5 / Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection

While breaking into the Mishima Zaibatsu's vault, Yoshimitsu found an injured Bryan Fury, and he brought him to Doctor Boskonovitch. Bryan entrusts the doctor with giving him a "perfect" body. However, the doctor found Bryan's body too complex, and he instead installed a perpetual generator. Bryan proceeded to attack the doctor, as well as Manji Clan members who were with him. He did survive the attack but was severely hurt. When Yoshimitsu arrived to visit Doctor Boskonovitch, he finds the lab in ruins, and his comrades dead. Seeing this, Yoshimitsu vowed vengeance on Bryan, so he entered The King of Iron Fist Tournament 5.
