There are plenty of influential figures in the Japanese video game industry, but few are quite as well-known as Katsuhiro Harada. Since lending his voice to several of the characters in the first few Tekken titles, Harada has gone on to direct and produce numerous games for Bandai Namco, including multiple installments of the Tekken franchise.

With the release of the game now imminent, prospective buyers will likely have a lot of questions about Tekken 8. This FAQ should help to answer them.

Harada is so important to the series that the team behind Tekken 8 decided to include him as an NPC in the game's Arcade Quest mode. Upon completing it, Tekken 8 players can even challenge Harada to a fight, and defeating Harada_TEKKEN in Super Ghost Battle will unlock the Godfather Trophy / Achievement as well as a couple of player card titles.

How to Defeat Harada_TEKKEN in Super Ghost Battle

Players will be able to start participating in Super Ghost Battles by visiting the Final Round area in Arcade Quest mode, after which, they'll be able to access the area directly via the game's main menu. From here, it's a simple case of challenging Harada's avatar, which is pretty easy to spot thanks to his distinctive black shades and snazzy white suit. It's worth noting that the NPCs who appear in Final Round are selected randomly from a large pool, so Harada_TEKKEN won't always show up. If he doesn't, players can either access the arcade cabinet in the center of the area and look for him on the list there or keep exiting and re-entering Final Round until he finally shows up.

If players choose to battle Harada_TEKKEN, they'll find that he mains Feng and has the Tekken God rank. The latter makes him sound pretty intimidating, but players shouldn't have too much trouble winning the fight. Once they do so, they'll unlock the Godfather Trophy as well as the Final Boss, Bearded Man, and Godfather titles. They'll also get a large amount of XP due to Harada's high rank, making this a great way to level up quickly in the Arcade Quest mode of Tekken 8. For players who are having trouble defeating Harada_TEKKEN, it's a good idea to head to the Game Option Settings menu and change "No. of Rounds (Ghost Battle)" from three to one. This way, they'll only need to beat Harada in a single round to unlock the Godfather Achievement.
