Jin Kazama

Jin Kazama is the current protagonist of the Tekken series, and has been featured in every Tekken game since his creation, as well as in Tekken: The Motion Picture. He is also set to be the main protagonist in the 2009 release film simply entitled, "Tekken". Jin is also featured in Namco X Capcom, where he teams up with Ryu (from the Street Fighter series) and Taki (from the Soul series). In this game, Jin wants to defeat Devil.

Jin Kazama is the son of Jun Kazama and Kazuya Mishima. InTekken 5, it is revealed that Jin has a cousin, Asuka Kazama. However, they don't seem to be aware of their relationship. During The King of Iron Fist Tournament 2 (which is the setting of the game Tekken 2), Kazuya and Jun crossed paths and were intimate. Jun found herself pregnant with Jin immediately afterwards. The Devil that possessed Kazuya attempted to enter Jin while he was still in his mother's womb, but Jun defeated it. Wishing to raise her son alone, Jun disappeared into a remote mountain location, where she raised Jin and trained him in her Kazama-style self-defense fighting style. After many years, Jun sensed the approaching of a great evil (Ogre) and told Jin that if anything happened to her, that he should seek his grandfather, Heihachi Mishima. Jun's words proved to be prophetic, and some time after Jin's 15th birthday, Jun was attacked by Ogre. Some time later, Jin awoke amongst rubble and searched for his mother, but he could not find her anywhere. Jin swore revenge.
