about him

is one of the main characters of the Tekken series. He is featured on the cover art for the console version of almost every sequel following his introduction in Tekken 3. He has been the main protagonist for the majority of the following entries ever since his debut, and his main motivation has been trying to end the Mishima Bloodline to save the world from their evil. The exception to this was when he took on a role as the main antagonist in Tekken 6 (with Lars Alexandersson taking his role as the protagonist), and also when he took on the role of supporting character in Tekken 7 (where Heihachi Mishima and Kazuya Mishima became the main characters of the game). He will return as the main protagonist in Tekken 8. Jin is the son of Kazuya Mishima and Jun Kazama, the grandson of Heihachi Mishima and Kazumi Mishima, the nephew of Lee Chaolan, the half-nephew of Lars Alexandersson, a relative of Asuka Kazama, and the great-grandson of Jinpachi Mishima.

backstory

Jin Kazama is the son of Jun Kazama and Kazuya Mishima. During Jun's pregnancy, part of Kazuya's Devil, (which fled Kazuya when he was thrown into a volcano by his father) attempted to possess Jin, who inherited his father's Devil Gene. Jun managed to fight Devil off and hold it at bay throughout her pregnancy and Jin's childhood. Jun raised Jin in a remote location in the mountains of Yakushima, and trained him in the Kazama family's self-defense fighting style. When Jin was fifteen years old, Jun sensed the approach of a great evil. Preparing for the worst, she informed Jin of his origins and told him that, if anything should happen to her, he was to seek out his grandfather, Heihachi Mishima. Jun's premonitions soon proved to be correct, and she and Jin were attacked by Ogre. Jin was knocked unconscious, and woke up to find his surroundings burned to the ground and his mother gone.[5] In Jun's absence, Devil seized its chance to possess Jin, and branded his left arm.[11] Jin followed his mother's wishes and found Heihachi Mishima, who went on to train him in Mishima-style Karate. During this time, Jin attended the Mishima Polytechnical School and met Ling Xiaoyu there.[12] He also met Hwoarang during a street fight in which they fought to a draw, leading to a persistent rivalry.[13] Four years after Jin's training began, Heihachi called the King of Iron Fist Tournament 3. By this time, Jin had developed into an impressive fighter, and entered the tournament with the intention of avenging the loss of his mother. He fought Ogre's true form in the final round and succeeded in killing it; however, he was gunned down shortly after his victory by a squad of his grandfather's private military group, Tekken Force. Heihachi himself fired a final gunshot into Jin's head. Despite the measures used, the attempt at killing Jin failed, as Jin's Devil Gene activated and revived him.
