Jun Kazama

Biography

Jun was a wildlife surveillance officer for conservation group WWWC. She used traditional Kazama-style martial arts, a martial art that has been passed down through the generations of the Kazama family. Jun grew up surrounded by nature on the island of Yakushima, where she was taught Kazama-style martial arts and developed strong psychic abilities, before moving to Tokyo when she reached adulthood. While life in the city took her away from the spiritual environment, the ghost of her father appeared to her, reaffirming her beliefs in the supernatural. It was during her stay in Tokyo, while she was working for WWWC, that she heard about a man named Kazuya Mishima, who was involved in smuggling protected animals. Also sensing a mysterious power surrounding Kazuya, Jun decided to participate in the second King of Iron Fist Tournament to put an end to illegal smuggling and free Kazuya from any power surrounding him. At some point during this time, Jun and Kazuya became close, and Jun became pregnant with Kazuya's child. Eventually, Kazuya confronted her father, who defeated him in battle and subsequently disposed of his son's body in an active volcano. Jun returned to Yakushima. She gave birth to her and Kazuya's son, whom she named Jin. There, she raised him in the mountains, teaching him the art of traditional Kazama-style martial arts as he grew up. As Jin approached her fifteenth birthday, Jun began to sense the approach of a great evil. Worried, she warned Jin that if anything happened to her, she should look for her grandfather, Heihachi. On Jin's fifteenth birthday, Jun's premonition came true when she was attacked by Ogre, who was searching for the best martial artists in the world to defeat them and absorb her abilities. Jin rushed to her mother's side to help her in the battle, but Ogre easily overpowered him and knocked him unconscious.

Biography 2

When he woke up, he found his house destroyed and Jun was nowhere to be found. Believing her to be dead, Jin set out to avenge her by defeating Ogre. Jun's true status after these events is unknown. A vision from Jun prevented Jin from killing Heihachi during the events of Tekken 4. Several months later, during a fight between Devil Jin and his father, Jin found himself struggling to contain a massive attack. The fight brought about a vision of Jun in a field of flowers. Jun reminded Jin that Kazama's power was to foster life and cleanse evil, which strengthened Jin's determination to live and protect her loved ones. Jin was then able to assume a new form, Angel Jin, and Jun told him to use his power to save himself and his father. In his angel form, Jin was able to purge his father and himself of his devilish genes; He subsequently returned to his human form and defeated Kazuya in a one-on-one fight. Jun later found Kazuya unconscious on the battlefield where Jin had left him.

Personality

Not much is known about Jun's personality other than the few hints other characters have given throughout the series; for example, Kazuya describes her as "mysterious" in the prologue of Tekken 6. Jun seems to embody the tranquility and purity of her and is shown to have a peaceful and animal-loving nature. This is evident in her mission to save Kazuya from Devil's corruption in Tekken 2, the forest animals' natural affinity towards her (shown in her Tekken 2 and Tekken Tag Tournament 2 endings), her choice of vocation. as an animal welfare officer, and his ability to suppress the devil gene (as suggested by Angel's presence in Kazuya, as well as in his Tekken Tag Tournament ending, and during his special victory pose with Devil Jin in Tekken Tag Tournament 2). Jun is someone for whom spirituality is important. After coming to Tokyo for her work, she became disillusioned at being so far from nature, and only renewed her dedication after she was visited by the ghost of her father. Her Tekken 2 profile describes her as being able to "commune" with nature, and that her encounter with her dead father helped her understand paranormal phenomena. Her desire to save Kazuya is always referred to in spiritual terms and she has some psychic or empathic abilities of her own. The fact that Jun became close to Kazuya and wished to free him from Devil despite her involvement in illegal animal smuggling suggests that Jun may have had a lenient outlook and a propensity to see past a woman's negative traits. person. Jun had a strong and deep love for her and Kazuya's son, Jin Kazama. Having raised Jin as a single mother since her birth, she and Jin seem to have shared a very powerful bond.

Jin then describes how much he misses her mother and how she wishes she was still with him.

Jun Kazama..." .
