Sensing a chance to destroy his father and grandfather, Jin participated. Two years after the tournament, Jin learned that his father, Kazuya, has returned from the dead and the fourth Tekken tournament is underway. At the same time, he sent a message to his closest friend Xiaoyu to be aware of the Zaibatsu. 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. In that moment, Jin's Devil Gene awakened, angered by the betrayal and proceeded to swipe down Heihachi and his Tekken Force before retreating.Īfter regaining his senses, Jin started to loathe his Mishima bloodline. However, in that very moment of victory, he was suddenly shot by none other than Heihachi, who saw him already outliving his usefulness to lure Ogre in. 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. The one who advanced to the final and defeated Ogre, however, was instead Paul Phoenix. Later, in order to lure Ogre, Heihachi opened the 3rd Tekken tournament, which Jin participated. 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. As Jun told him, if anything happened to her, he should seek aid to his grandfather, Heihachi Mishima, so he did. Thinking that his mother was murdered, Jin swore revenge. Jin was swiftly defeated while attempting to protect his mother, and when he woke up, Jun was nowhere to be seen along with Ogre. He also learned the Kazama Style Martial Arts from her.Īt his 15th birthday, however, the ancient Fighting God Ogre arrived, and attacked Jun. As a result of his family's Devil Gene, Jin knows that people close to him will likely suffer or worse if he ever completely loses control.īorn as the son of Kazuya Mishima and Jun Kazama, Jin was raised in a secluded area with only his mother, thereby developing such a great fondness towards her. Jin's disinterest in close relations probably has one unique motivation. It is known, however, that he will help them if they need it, as Ling Xiaoyu's Tekken 4 profile and Hwoarang's Tekken 4 ending have shown. People close to him, including his friends Ling Xiaoyu and Hwoarang, are always going to extremes to gain Jin's attention, and yet, he rarely seems to notice. Once Jin's mind is focused in any particular direction, it is very difficult to get him to change or even notice the events and people around him. He also has one personality trait which is common with many Japanese action heroes. Jin's personality ranges from calm to angry at various moments, and his words and actions hint toward the bitterness within. He also has a slight resemblance to his relative, Asuka Kazama, at times. He also has the anger of his father, Kazuya Mishima and his grandfather, Heihachi Mishima. He has the fighting spirit and determination of his half-uncle, Lars Alexandersson and his great-grandfather, Jinpachi Mishima, and also has the hidden and personal silence of his legal uncle, Lee Chaolan. He has the kindness of his mother, Jun Kazama, and his grandmother, Kazumi Mishima. Jin's actions and surroundings fit the mold of a quintessential "tragic hero", except for his lack of a tragic flaw.
