Julia Chang (English pronunciation: /ˈd͡ʒuːli.ə t͡ʃæŋ/; Japanese: ジュリア・チャン, Hepburn: Juria Chan), also known under the alias Jaycee (English pronunciation: /ˈdʒeɪsi/; Japanese: ジェイシー, Hepburn: Jeishī), is a character in the Tekken media franchise created by Japanese company Namco. Julia made her debut as a player character in the 1997 arcade game Tekken 3, while her alias Jaycee first appeared in the 2011 fighting game Tekken Tag Tournament 2 and is a lucha libre wrestler. Julia is the adoptive daughter of fellow Tekken character Michelle Chang and was meant to be her replacement.
In her main storyline, Julia's initial purpose is to save her adoptive mother, Michelle, from danger, and afterward, she focuses on the reforestation of her homeland due to environmental problems. Throughout the Tekken series, her professions include archaeology, research, professional wrestling, and live-streaming. She uses Chinese martial arts techniques that are composed of Xingyiquan and Bajiquan as her fighting style and has been featured in several Tekken games, as well as in comics, anime, and merchandise. She has been voiced by multiple actors over the years. Critics have acknowledged her Native American portrayal, often describing it as stereotypical, and she has also been recognized as a competitive character in the Tekken community.

Also, I was a motion capture actor myself in the 90s.
