Taka-Arashi (鷹嵐), also known as T-Arashi, (born November 11, 1968)[1] is a sumo wrestler from Japan. His first appearance was in Virtua Fighter 3; he did not make further appearances because he was deemed too difficult to integrate. He bears the distinction of being the only character in the series ever to be retired. Taka-Arashi returned in an updated version of Virtua Fighter 5 named "Virtua Fighter 5 R."
