Raiden originally appeared in the first Fatal Fury as a large character wearing a blue wrestling suit and mask with a yellow lightning bolt down its center. In Fatal Fury 2, he appears in a black wrestling suit and is unmasked. In that form he assumes the persona of Big Bear.
The Big Bear persona is mainly used when he plays himself off as a fan favorite whereas the Raiden persona is mostly used if he plays himself off as a hated villain.
Raiden hails from Alice Springs, Australia, and is one of Geese Howard's henchmen, despite his friendship with Geese's enemy Terry Bogard.
