## Trivia

### General

* Raven has a tattoo on his upper left shoulder that resembles a stylized kanji for *death* (死 *shi*?). This symbol is also found on his superior, Master Raven's shoulder in the same place, and on the armor of Raven's troops at the end of *Tekken 6*. The symbol thus likely represents the *raven* class of secret agents working for the United Nations, and their associated assigned forces.
* The hand signs that Raven performs are part of the Kuji-in, a Japanese Buddhist Tantric technique said to be also practiced by ninjas.
* Raven resembles Hollywood actor Wesley Snipes' characters, Simon Phoenix from *Demolition Man* (blonde hair) and the Marvel Comics character Blade from the film series of the same name in terms of shades, personality, tattoo and costume. The "I'll see you in Hell" win pose is a reference to Blade's "catch you later" point and walk.
	+ When Namco was asked about the similarities being intentional, they stated that they simply wanted a true ninjutsu practitioner and a "cool black guy" for a character, and that the similarities were purely coincidental.
* Raven was voiced by Jack Merluzzi in *Tekken 5*, but in *Tekken 6* however, his voice actor changed to DC Douglas. The reason of the change has not been stated.

### Tekken X Hazbin Hotel

* While Raven mainly resembles Blade, his depiction in *Tekken X Hazbin Hotel* gives this further resemblance due to his connection to the demons as Blade depicts the story about vampires.
* Most of Raven's moves are retconned to be made quite similar to Master Raven's.
