	Games - Tizoc

Tizoc, otherwise known as The Griffon Mask in the Japanese version, is a character from both the Fatal Fury and King of Fighters series. He started out in the Fatal Fury game Garou: Mark of the Wolves.

History

When the events of King Of Fighters 2003 occur, Tizoc is an up and coming superstar in the professional wrestling circuit and joins the Fatal Fury team after being invited by Terry Bogard himself after his brother Andy becomes unavailable since he is teaching a young boy in Shiranui style Ninjitsu in Japan. (The boy would later grow up to be known as Hokutomaru in the Garou series).

By the time of Garou, Mark Of The Wolves, Tizoc already sees himself as a washed up has-been and enters the tournament in order to gain his passion into going back into the ring.

Trivia

He makes a cameo in KOF 2002 in the Mexico stage.
Because Tizoc took Andy's place on the Fatal Fury team in KOF 2003, Mai briefly wonders whether he is Andy, but quickly realizes Tizoc is much too tall and well-muscled to be her boyfriend.
Although Tizoc is voiced by the same seiyuu, his voice in Garou & KoF are completely different.
Tizoc's Japanese name, look, and some of the names of his special moves are all references to the famous Japanese professional wrestler Tiger Mask.
Tizoc shares a lot of similarities with King from the Tekken series. They are both Mexican, are professional wrestlers, both of them wear a mask resembling an animal's head (King wears a tiger mask while Tizoc wears an eagle mask), and both are motivated by children.
The name 'Tizoc' hails from an ancient ruler of the Mexican-native Aztec culture.
