Dr.Bosconovitch

**Doctor Geppetto Bosconovitch** (*Russian:* Доктор 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* and *Tekken Tag Tournament 2*, so far, though he makes an appearance in almost every game. Doctor Bosconovitch's *Tekken 3* ending is the same as Yoshimitsu's *Tekken 3* ending.

Doctor Bosconovitch was kidnaped 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 Bosconovitch is rescued by the friend he helped save previously, Yoshimitsu.

Doctor Bosconovitch 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, Bosconovitch 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.

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

Doctor Bosconovitch 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 Bosconovitch 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.

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 Bosconovitch, as Bosconovitch gets all the attention and they are shutting Lukas down, and he takes "that souvenir Bosconovitch left behind" to aid him in his plans to make the people that shut him down pay. Bosconovitch 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...".

While breaking into the Mishima Zaibatsu's vault, Yoshimitsu found an injured Bryan Fury, and he brought him to Doctor Bosconovitch. 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 Bosconovitch, 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*.
