Sergei Dragunov (Russian: Сергей Драгунов; Japanese: セルゲイ・ドラグノフ serugei doragunofu) is a fictional character in the Tekken fighting game series. He is one of the two characters that first appeared in Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection, along with Lili. He employs brutal grabs, vicious non-escapable counters, and CQC techniques, based on Russian Sambo. Although a newcomer on Tekken, he is mostly well known for his quick grabs, counters, and the great deal of variety of attacks being shifted into grabs, as well as being the prominent military figure in the Tekken cast. With the exception of various grunts and kiais during fights, Dragunov does not speak. It is unknown if he is an actual mute or if he prefers not to speak.

[edit] Character Story
[edit] Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection
A member of SPETSNAZ, Dragunov is considered the very symbol of fear on the battlefield whose overwhelming fighting prowess has earned him the title "The White Angel of Death". Involved in the investigation of an unknown body that fell to Earth in Siberia, Dragunov received special orders presumably regarding Devil Jin, and entered the King of Iron Fist Tournament Five in order to carry them out.
His precise motivations and the true nature of his orders are unknown. In an in-game cutscene before his sub-boss fight against Raven, the agent says that he is "on to your (Dragunov's) organization."
[edit] Tekken 6
Sergei Dragunov received an order from Russian Military headquarters to sneak into the King of Iron Fist Tournament 5 to capture an unconfirmed creature known as Devil. Sergei infiltrated the tournament, but did not find the Devil.
Before long the activities of the Mishima Zaibatsu were causing unrest in Russia. While Dragunov staged numerous intense battles to quell the unrest throughout his motherland, he received an order from the Russian Military high command to infiltrate The King of Iron Fist Tournament 6 and smash the Mishima Zaibatsu single-handedly.
Once again, Dragunov finds himself heading to Japan…
[edit] Trivia
Sergei Dragunov's name comes from the creators of two famous Russian sniper rifles: Sergei Ivanovich Mosin, one of the creators of the Mosin-Nagant; and Evgeny Dragunov, maker of the SVD Dragunov. Dragunov is probably the most normal of Russian characters featured in fighting games, compared to Street Fighter's Zangief, Necro, and Twelve, and also World Heroes' Rasputin. Dragunov also has many similarities to Bayman from Dead or Alive. In many Tekken 6 videos found on YouTube, Dragunov is spelled "Dragnov", which is incorrect.
