Kazama Jin is one of the main characters of the Tekken series.
First appearing in Tekken 3, Jin is the son of Kazama Jun and Mishima Kazuya. He was raised by his mother; Jun, for most of his young life until he turned 15, when his mother was supposedly murdered by Ogre, an ancient being known as "Toshin, the God of Fighting." He was taken in by his grandfather, Mishima Heihachi who taught him Mishima Style Karate. Jin was able to defeat Ogre, winning the King of Iron Fist Tournament 3 but was betrayed and almost shot dead by Heihachi.
From Tekken 4 onward, he would use traditional Karate instead of Mishima style to fall more in line with his mother's teachings and to distance himself from his Mishima heritage. In Tekken 5, his dark persona, Devil Jin became a playable character, using his moveset from games prior to Tekken 4.
In Tekken 6, after defeating Mishima Jinpachi in the previous tournament. Jin was declared the new head of the Mishima Zaibatsu. He used his new leadership to wage a world war, and to host the King of Iron Fist Tournament 6. However, he was bested by Lars Alexandersson.
Jin is characterized by his altruism, as evident by his interactions with Ling Xiaoyu and Hwoarang. He plans to end the Mishima bloodline by killing Heihachi, Kazuya and then himself.
Jin's outfits usually consist of black pants or hooded jackets with a flame motif. In Tekken 3 and Tekken Tag Tournament, he had a school uniform alternate costume alongside Xiaoyu, as they both attended the same high school. In Tekken 6, he wears a business suit alternate costume and an emperor outfit designed by CLAMP. His Tekken 7 outfit was designed by Kozaki Yuusuke.
