Like a leaf on the wind, the above image, posted on the official Tekken 6 Twitter account, Tekkenbob, caught the eye of several attentive gamers yesterday evening. Fans of Penny Arcade will be delighted upon hearing the Cardboard Tube Samurai will be making an appearance in upcoming fighting game.

Shortly after Tekkenbob revealed the image, Mike Krahulik (better known as Gabe), confirmed the truth via his Twitter.

Yes this is for real. Cts costume will be in tekken 6!

No word on whether or not this will just be a set of costume pieces to accessorize your character with, or an actual character in the game, but you can be rest assured that by the time PAX 09 rolls around, the guys over at Penny Arcade will probably have some more news.

I haven't really been all that into the Tekken series in the last few years, but this just might be the trick into getting me to care again.
