Julia Chang (Japanese: ジュリア・チャン, Hepburn: Juria Chan), also known under the alias Jaycee (Japanese: ジェイシー, Hepburn: Jeishī), is a character in the Bandai Namco's Tekken franchise based on fighting games. Julia debuted as a player character and Native American representative in the 1997 fighting game Tekken 3. Her alias Jaycee is depicted as a luchadora and first appeared in the 2011 fighting game Tekken Tag Tournament 2. Julia is the adoptive daughter of fellow Tekken character Michelle Chang, whom she was intended to replace.
Plot-wise, Julia's initial goal in the Tekken series is to save Michelle. Afterward, she shifts her focus to reforesting her homeland. Throughout the Tekken series, she has been portrayed in a variety of professions, including archaeology, research, professional wrestling, and live-streaming. Julia is a practitioner of Chinese martial arts and has appeared in several video games and comics, in addition to an anime and various merchandise.
She has been voiced by multiple actresses, including Cara Jones, Hiromi Tsuru, Kimberly Forsythe, Joni Davidson, Annie Wood, Seiko Yoshida, and Stephanie Sheh. Additionally, Julia was motion-captured by Japanese game director Katsuhiro Harada. The character has been a subject of criticism, especially for being a representative of Native Americans.
