TK Tiger

2007-07-06T19:51:34Z

81.178.210.195: Cleanup completed, I think.

'''TK Tiger''' is a U.K. fur who was probably the first tiger to be a signed up member of the Tae Kwondo Association of Great Britain (TAGB). He is also a self-confessed "Steam Enthusiast", and a lover of the video game Dance Dance Revolution.

== Fursuiting ==
'''Tae Kwon-Do Tiger''' was born after being a fancy-dress costume for the Southern TAGB Christmas Party in 1999.  TK (at the time known as 'Housey') had been a member of [http://zazu.lionking.org/ The Lion King mailing List (TLK-L)] for around two years, and jumped at the chance to rent a fursuit.  Housey's original plan of renting a lion failed when the shop only had a tiger available.  Undeterred, he rented the tiger and the character Tae Kwon-Do Tiger was born on the 4th December 1999.

Tae Kwon-Do Tiger went out and about his home town a lot in the last month of 1999 - even seeing in the year 2000 in front of BBC South's broadcasting studio (which became a regular thing until 2006). After 8 months without fursuit, TK went to the shop he had rented the tiger costume from, and purchased one for himself.  The new Tae Kwon-Do Tiger fursuit made his first public appearence on the 9th September 2000 at a small gathering of furs in the home of [[Kashy Fox]].  

The new look Tae Kwon-Do Tiger fursuit saw in 5 New Years, went to a preserved steam railway, went bowling, played DDR, and even appeared briefly on ITV Play's program "Play DJ Late". This TV appearence won TK and [[Blaster Hedgie]] a Play DJ mug, and brought happiness to the presenter Greg Scott.  The new costume was retired on 3rd July 2007, on the 26th birthday of his performer.  There are no current plans to commission a replacement suit.

== History of the Name ==
Early in the month of January 2000, Housey started writing a story revolving around the character of Tae Kwon-Do Tiger.  This story was named "Trials Of A Tiger", and was posted infrequently to the [http://zazu.lionking.org/ The Lion King mailing List].  While Tae Kwon-Do Tiger might be a suitable name for a costume character, Housey decided that the name wasn't suited to text.  '''Thomas King''' was the answer to that problem, shortened to '''T.K.''', with the tiger part tacked on when needed.

This was to cause a minor problem when Housey became a fully-fledged member of the Furry Fandom in March 2000 (having sat on the edge since 1998). Housey wanted to adopt the Tae Kwon-Do Tiger character for himself, but the person was quite different from the character on paper.  To reduce confusion between the person and the character, Housey dropped the dots between the letters and became TK Tiger, with the tiger part dropped in casual conversation soon afterwards.

== Writing ==
TK would continue writing about T.K., not only in the story "Trials of a Tiger", but in a second tale with the working title "T.K. and Tyger".  Both stories feature T.K. and anthro versions of his real-life classmates and teachers.  Currently, neither tale is complete.

Recently, other projects have forced TK to place writing to one side, though he still tinkers on a couple of projects sometimes. He also only updates his various blogs and journals only when he has the time (and energy) to do so, which is why there are often long gaps between updates.

== TigerTails Entertainment ==

Over time, TK wrote various bits and bobs and eventually compiled a website for them all.  He decided as they had been tales told by a tiger, he would call the site [http://www.tigertails.co.uk TigerTails].

In a collaboration with [[Blaster Hedgie]], the 20th July 2004 was the first date of airing for a new ShoutCast radio show [[TigerTails Radio]].  The TigerTails website was rebranded [http://www.tigertails.co.uk TigerTails Entertainment] and the writing section was renamed to "The Tiger's Tales".  [[TigerTails Radio]] ran every single day for exactly one year before TK canned the project.  Season Two is currently live, and runs whenever both TK and Hedgie have the free time - normally one show a week.

The TigerTails Entertainment site's latest update has removed the writing section, due to lack of new matertial.  Also, TK feels that a lot of his early work is unfit now for the eyes of his poor readers. This section has been replaced by the beginnings of a photo gallery, a link to his DDR Stepfiles for the game Stepmania, and a link to the TigerTails TV collection of clips currently stored on YouTube.

== Con and Meet Attendence ==
April 1st 2000 saw TK attend his first [[LondonFurs]] meet, and a few months later he joined the [[HantsFurs]].  A few years later, [[Slycat]] handed control of the [[HantsFurs]] to TK, who then placed Dark Lordess as the list's first female admin member.  At the time of writing, TK is still the leader of the group.

TK also attended his first (and currently last) con at [[Eurofurence]] 7, in 2001.  He took the Tae Kwon-Do Tiger fursuit, and briefly bodypainted as his second character, Spots Dalmatian.
