Tekken wasn't one of the first fighting games at the trendiest period, it's second wave. It's popular but nowhere near as recognizable as Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat, same way Crash Bandicoot is nowhere near as famous as Mario or Sonic despite being known well to gamers

Tekken also has a more realistic aesthetic, meaning most of the characters don't look very striking, and the costumes border between basic and over designed, nothing quite as simple but bold like Ryu or Bison or Scorpion and Sub Zero. The most iconic visual of Tekken is probably Heihachos bizarre hair
