Villain Overview

Let me ask you, what have the governments, religions and people of this world accomplished? Up until now, people have lived in fear of those with power, and were ruled by an iron fist. Who could possibly save such a twisted world? I wanted the two of us to clash and destroy each other. Then, I could finally be free of this accursed blood in my veins, and the world would be saved. But there would be only one chance.
~ Jin Kazama

Jin Kazama is the main protagonist of the Tekken franchise. He is the son of Kazuya and Jun Kazama, who seeks to end the curse of the Devil by destroying his bloodline as a means of saving the world from their lifelong conflict.

In Japanese, he has been voiced by Isshin Chiba in all video game appearances and Minami Takayama in Tekken: The Motion Picture. In English, he was voiced by Jacob Franchek in Tekken: The Motion Picture, Patrick Seitz in Tekken: Blood Vengeance, Brad Swaile in Street Fighter X Tekken, and Kaiji Tang in Tekken: Bloodline.

Biography[]

Tekken 3[]

Born under Kazuya Mishima and Jun Kazama, Jin was raised in a secluded area by only his mother, thereby developing such a great fondness towards her. He also learned the Kazama Style Martial Arts from her. He has a rival named Hwoarang.

On his fifteenth birthday, however, the ancient Fighting God Ogre arrived, and attacked Jun. Jin was swiftly defeated while attempting to protect his mother, and when he woke up, Jun was nowhere to be seen, along with Ogre. Thinking that his mother was murdered, Jin swore revenge. As Jun told him, if anything happened to her, he should seek aid to his grandfather Heihachi Mishima, so he did. Heihachi took him in and trained him the Mishima Style Karate and had him enrolled in the Mishima high school where he would be acquainted with Ling Xiaoyu. Later, in order to lure Ogre, Heihachi opened the third King of Iron Fist Tournament, which Jin participated.

The one who advanced to the final and defeated Ogre, however, was instead Paul Phoenix. However, when Paul left, feeling victorious, Ogre revealed its true, beastly form, True Ogre, in which Jin stepped in and defeated it, avenging his mother. However, in that very moment of victory, he was suddenly shot and betrayed by none other than Heihachi, who saw him already outliving his usefulness to lure Ogre in. In that moment, Jin's Devil Gene awakened, angered by the betrayal and proceeded to swipe down Heihachi and his Tekken Force before retreating.

Tekken 4[]

After regaining his senses, Jin started to loathe his Mishima bloodline. Discarding what he learned from Heihachi, he trained in the arts of Traditional Karate, mixing it with the Kazama style Martial Arts, while hiding in Brisbane, Australia. At the same time, he sent a message to his closest friend Xiaoyu to be aware of the Zaibatsu.

Two years after the tournament, Jin learned that his father, Kazuya, has returned from the dead and the fourth King of Iron Fist Tournament is underway. Sensing a chance to destroy his father and grandfather, Jin participated. But before he could fight against Kazuya in the semi-finals, he was ambushed by the Tekken Force and captured, locked inside Honmaru.

After a while of fighting the demons inside him along with the urges from his father to give in to his Devil powers, Jin woke up, broke from the chains tying him and proceeded to defeat both Kazuya and Heihachi. He was ready to finally kill them both, but the spirit of Jun appeared before the blow was dealt. In honor of his mother, Jin spared the two and flew away.

Tekken 5[]

Jin flew away, but he was unconscious at the same time. When he did awake, he noticed that his surroundings were completely ruined. When he returned home to Yakushima, he was haunted with nightmares about his Devil Gene. Unsure with how long he could hold out, Jin decided to embark on a journey to vanquish the evil within him.

Later, the fifth King of Iron Fist Tournament is announced. Jin participated and eventually found out that it was sponsored by his great-grandfather, Jinpachi Mishima. Jin defeated him and his Devil form, and inherited the Mishima Zaibatsu as a reward.

Tekken 6[]

Xiaoyu: Jin. Why did you do all of this?! Tell me what's going on.
Jin: I'm just returning everything back to the way it should be.
Xiaoyu: No, you're not! This isn't the right way, Jin. Why can't you see that?
Jin: That's of no concern to you.
Xiaoyu: I'm gonna stop you, Jin. I'm gonna make you see the truth!
~ Xiaoyu realizing that Jin had betrayed her in her Scenario Campaign.

Upon taking over the Zaibatsu, Jin's personality changed. Like his father and grandfather, he became a ruthless leader and plunged the world into a warzone, declaring war on all nations that opposed him. Despite his well-indented claims, Jin ended up becoming worse than Kazuya and Heihachi ever were. Noticing that everyone now wanted a piece of him for his atrocities, Jin opened the sixth King of Iron Fist Tournament.

At the end of the Scenario Campaign, Jin's true nature was revealed. The reason why he plunged the world into utter chaos was to gather enough negative energy to bring forth the creature known as Azazel the one who generated the Devil Gene in the first place. Jin's theory is that if he killed Azazel, the Devil Gene would be no more, he would free both himself and the world from the accursed gene. He ends up pushing both himself and Azazel into oblivion, possibly killing themselves.

However, when Raven investigated the place where this took place in the near future, he found Jin's body, still with his Devil's mark, indicating that he may have survived the ordeal.

Tekken 7[]

While extracted by Zaibatsu's helicopter, Jin's uncontrollable power caused the helicopter to explode and report of him being missing. He survived from the explosion and barely walked when he is weakened until he was ambushed by the Zaibatsu soldiers who were ordered by his grandfather, Heihachi until Lars arrived and rescued him. After the world went to chaos, Jin fully recovered and prepared to go and kill his father, Kazuya to end the Mishima bloodline once and for all.

Tekken 8[]

My devil power appeared when I faced death in the heat of battle. If I am to resurrect that power, I must walk the path of carnage once again. I'll get my power back. And when I do... I'll kill that bastard. Even if I have to go down with him.
~ Jin about ending Kazuya and bringing back the Devil Gene in Tekken 8.

Jin returns as the main protagonist of Tekken 8. After the true death of his grandfather Heihachi Mishima, he will fight his father, Kazuya Mishima once more. As he is no longer alone anymore, Jin receives aids from more than just his two uncles, Lars and Lee.

Other Media[]

Project X Zone[]

Jin makes an appearance in Project X Zone, a subsequent franchise to Namco x Capcom. He is a playable character with his partner being Ling Xiaoyu in the first game. The second game however, where he is reluctantly partnered up with his father Kazuya, while Xiaoyu is partnered with Chun-Li.

Crosspedia Entry[]

The young head of the massive Mishima Zaibatsu. Jin possesses the "Devil Gene", giving him the potential for the superhuman combat powers of a devil. He is aware that the power of the Devil Gene growing stronger within him every day. Knowing that eventually he is fated to lose control and go on a terrible rampage, he creates a plan intended to cut him free from his cursed bloodline. He has a deep hatred of his father Kazuya and his grandfather Heihachi, who both continue to hound him for their own selfish reasons. Although he learned Mishima Style Fighting Karate from Heihachi, he has since broken with the Mishima Style. He now fights using traditional karate (based on Kyokushin).

Super Smash Bros.[]

Jin appears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a spirit, being of the shield type and ace class. His spirit battle is a stamina battle against two Kazuyas on the underground portion of the Castle Siege stage. At level 99, the spirit can be enhanced to Devil Jin.

Quotes[]

Lars: What did you do to her?
Jin: Are you really that stupid? She was created to serve me.
Lars: What?
Jin: She's been my eyes and ears as you led her around. I've known exactly what you've been doing.
Lars: You planned this from the beginning...
Jin: No. I had nothing to do with the G Corporation hitting the lab or you losing your memory. But those factors worked to my advantage.
Lars: Tch...! Move!
Alisa: Standing by for next command.
Jin: Alisa, eradicate him. Lars, if you have it in you to defeat her, then you and I will be ready to talk.
~ Jin after he brainwashes Alisa.
Jin: Good riddance.
Lars: Say that again...
Jin: I said good riddance to a worthless piece of junk.
Lars: (scoffs)
Jin: What? Don't tell me you fell in love with it?
Lars: She's gone, because she tried to protect you.
Jin: Of course she did. She was designed to. I just thought she'd be better at it.
Lars: You... I'm taking you down!
~ Jin looking down at Alisa after she shuts down in Lars' arms.
Jin: And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you. How true.
Lars: What are you talking about?
Jin: It was that woman. That was when I knew what the voice ringing in my head really was.
Lars: Zafina?
Jin: Yes. But her story didn't add up. Azazel had already awoken in spirit because of Kazuya and me.
Lars: So you're saying his return was unavoidable?
Jin: Kazuya and I were the key to that happening.
Lars: He seemed powerful enough to me.
Jin: When Azazel spoke to me in my mind, he said filling the world with negative energy would give him physical form. That was the only way.
Lars: So you started a freaking war...? Just to make it so you could fight him?!
Jin: Yes! I had no choice... I have the Devil Gene.
Lars: And you think that justifies all the things that you've done?!
Jin: Let me ask you, what have the governments, religions and people of this world accomplished? Up until now, people have lived in fear of those with power, and were ruled by an iron fist. Who could possibly save such a twisted world? I wanted the two of us to clash and destroy each other. Then, I could finally be free of this accursed blood in my veins, and the world would be saved. But there would be only one chance.
Lars: Bad news, then. I already took him out!
Jin: You understand nothing.
~ Jin to Lars about Azazel and how he started a war.

Trivia[]

  • Before the release of Tekken 3, Jin was designed to be a character with "determination". At release, he became more of a character with a rather "dark side".
  • Jin has made an appearance in the popular internet series DEATH BATTLE!, where he fought against Ryu and lost.
