## Trivia

* During the *Tekken 3* era, Hwoarang was known to some players by the pseudonym 'BoB' (not to be confused with Robert "Bob" Richards, the character introduced in *Tekken 6*), allegedly because western gamers had difficulty in writing his name correctly. It is also possible that the pseudonym was derived from pre-release *Tekken 3* art by Namco where he is seen on a motorcycle; as no name was available at the time, he became known simply as *Boy on Bike*.
* Hwoarang's movements are motion-captured. His motion capture actor was Hwang Su Il, a Taekwondo I.T.F. black belt of Japan.
* Harada has stated that 'Hwoarang' is a street name. Hwoarang's given name and family name are unknown.
