Hwoarang (Hangul: 화랑; Hanja: 花郎 Hwarang; Japanese: ファラン Faran) is a character in the Tekken series who first appeared in Tekken 3 and has returned in all subsequent games. He is the Taekwondo student of Baek Doo San, and entered the third Tournament to get revenge on Ogre for "killing" his master. He has also become Jin Kazama's rival after the two fought to a draw in one of Hwoarang's street matches before the events of Tekken 3.

Hwoarang sees one man as his rival: Jin Kazama. Jin, CEO of the Mishima Zaibatsu, declared war against the world, and in the ensuing turmoil vanished suddenly, without a trace. Suspecting there is more to Jin's disappearance than meets the eye, Hwoarang vowed to track him down. With only a shred of reliable information at hand, he headed to the Middle East.

After a series of dead leads, Hwoarang heard word that a demon had appeared in a town. Without a second thought, he got on his motorcycle and hammered down there. When he arrived, the place had been deserted, save for Jin Kazama in his devil form. Ending Description: As Jin's devil powers subside, Hwoarang yells that it is not worth beating a monster like him. Suddenly, UN soldiers arrive and throw a grenade at them. Hwoarang saves Jin from the grenade but gets caught in the explosion himself and was knocked unconscious.

As Jin flees with the soldiers in hot pursuit, Hwoarang tries to get up while covering his injured right eye, but collapses.
