Jin Kazama is a character from the Tekken series. Background
Jin Kazama is the protagonist of the Tekken series. His first performance was in Tekken 3, as a boy who claims to be the son of Kazuya Mishima, who was killed by Heihachi. According to the official story, during the King of Iron Fist Tournament 2 (Tekken 2), Jun Kazama and Kazuya Mishima had a relationship. Jun became pregnant and disappeared to a remote mountain location where she raised her son Jin and taught him self-defense. Some time after Jin's 15th birthday, Jun disappeared after an attack by the monster Ogre. Turning about the loss of his mother, swore Jin revenge. He was captured by his grandfather, Heihachi Mishima, who trained him in Mishima style fighting character.
At the end of the King of Iron Fist Tournament 3, Jin faces Ogre, the murderer of his mother. He defeats Ogre, but Heihachi betray him and shoot him down. Jin transforms into Devil Jin, and saves Heihachi and his men.
After Heihachi's betrayal, Jin is prey to self-esteem. He despises all that Mishima has to do: his Mishima fighting style, his father Kazuya Mishima, and his grandfather Heihachi. He spent two years in a remote dojo in Brisbane, Australia, to learn his Mishima fighting style. He learns the style of traditional karate, thanks to the help of the doom master. Rumors about a King of Iron Fist Tournament 4 penetrate into the dojo and Jin puts his sentences on this new tournament.
Before Jin can fight Kazuya, which is revived by the G Corporation, he is surrounded by the Tekken Force and chained to a Heihachi private building in Hon-Maru. Later in the final, Heihachi and Kazuya must reconnect. After their fight, Heihachi Kazuya brings to Hon-Maru, and while Jin is chained, Kazuya tries to call up the devil in Jin. Jin begins to transform, and attacks his father Kazuya. In a fight he defeats Kazuya. Then Heihachi tries to kill Jin and take power for himself. Jin defeats him, but lets them live after he got a vision of his mother
G Corporation (Heihachi Mishima's Zaibatsu rival company) sends an army of Jack robots to kill Heihachi and Kazuya. The two work together shortly, but Kazuya betrays Heihachi. The Jacks let themselves explode, and the explosion destroys the Hon-Maru. Apparently Heihachi is dead. However, Hon-Maru was the location where Heihachi's father, Jinpachi Mishima, had locked up about three decades earlier. Jinpachi is liberated from the destruction of Hon-Maru.
At the end of the fifth Iron Fist Tournament, Jin is defeating Jinpachi Mishima's great-grandfather. At the end of Tekken 5, Jin is declared a winner. He has now become the CEO of the Mishima Zaibatsu. However, instead of ending the Zaibatsu, Jin tries to conquer world rule and declares war to different nations until the whole world is in war. Meanwhile, Kazuya has gained power over G Corporation and is Mishima Zaibatsu's only opponent. He has put a premium on Jin's death, dead or alive, because Jins's performance complicates Kazuya's own plans for world domination. For Jin, this does not happen unexpectedly, and in the King of Iron Fist Tournament 6 he announces himself and forever to get rid of his enemies and Kazuya. Later it appears that Jin's goal was to create enough negative energy to create the ultimate evil to life in the form of the beast Azazel through a global war. In a final battle with the beast, Jin seems to sacrifice to overcome Azazel once and for all. Film
In the 2010 live action film Tekken, Jin is played by actor Jon Foo in his first role.
