Virtua Fighter 4: Final Tuned (July 2004) and Virtua Fighter 5 R (July 2008) are two arcade exclusive (AND Japan exclusive) updates for Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution and vanilla Virtua Fighter 5, respectively.
Virtua Fighter 5 R is notable for bringing back Sumo wrestler Taka-Arashi (the only character who was removed from VF4) and introducing Karate to the series via newcomer Jean Kujo. Yes, you read that right. Contrary to popular(?) belief, Akira Yuki's fighting style is NOT Karate. His fighting style is actually Bajiquan/Hakkyoku-ken. It was the VF5R newcomer Jean Kujo who first introduced Karate to the series!

EDIT:
"Pretty sure everyone already knows Akira Yuki is not a Karateka" - No, not really. I've seen a few people who actually believed that. The fact that one of his main costumes is a white gi doesn't help either.
