Dr. Bosconovitch (Japanese: ドクター・ボスコノビッチ, Hepburn: Dokutā Bosukonobicchi^?), full name Geppetto Bosconovitch (ジェペットボスコノビッチ, Jepetto Bosukonobicchi^?, Russian: Джепетто Босконович), is a fictional character from the Tekken fighting game series released by Namco Bandai Games. Bosconovitch was introduced in Tekken 3, in which he is one of the two playable bonus characters (Gon being the other one), and has returned in Tekken Tag Tournament 2. Despite being playable in only Tekken 3 and TTT2 so far, he appears in almost every game. Bosconovitch is a former Soviet scientist involved in cloning and is the one responsible for the creation the Jack androids. He is also responsible for the creation of the android Alisa Bosconovitch, whom he created in the image of his deceased daughter.

Dr. Bosconovitch originally worked for the Mishima Zaibatsu. During the first Tekken, the Manji ninja clan (led by Yoshimitsu) raided the Mishima Zaibatsu's vault. During the raid, Yoshimitsu lost his arm and was found by Bosconovitch who helped him escape and fitted him with a mechanical arm. Dr. Bosconovitch was kidnapped by Kazuya Mishima in the run-up to The King of Iron Fist Tournament 2 and was forced to work for him. Some of the many projects involved the creation of the bio-weapons Roger and Alex, as well as the completion of the Prototype Jack unit. He began the "Cold Sleep" project as a means of preserving his daughter's body (who seemingly died) by using Nina Williams and Anna Williams as test subjects. After completing his tasks, and before being executed, Doctor Bosconovitch is rescued by the friend he helped save previously, Yoshimitsu. Nineteen years later, he contracted a rare disease that affects the spine as a result of working on his Cold Sleep project. In order to cure himself and to revive his daughter, he needed the blood of the fighting god, Ogre. He turned to an old friend, Yoshimitsu, for help. Yoshimitsu entered the King of Iron Fist Tournament 3 and was successful in obtaining a sample of Ogre's blood afterJin Kazama had killed it. Dr. Bosconovitch appears in Bryan Fury's Tekken 4 ending. In it, he explains to Bryan that he will now mechanize him and allow him to be completely reborn in a new incarnation. Bryan lays supine on the table and Bosconovitch holds a gun-shaped device containing sleeping gas. Bidding him sweet dreams, he injects the gas into Bryan. Throughout, he speaks in a calm and gentle tone. However, the doctor found Bryan's body too complex, and he instead installed a perpetual generator. Bryan proceeded to attack the doctor, as well as Manji Clan members who were with him. While the members were slain, Bosconovitch survived, though he was severely injured. In Tekken 6, he creates an android in his daughter's image, Alisa Bosconovitch.
