Jin Kazama is the son of Jun Kazama and Kazuya Mishima. Kazuya and Jun crossed paths and became 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 about his origins and that if anything happened to her, that he should seek his grandfather, Heihachi Mishima. Jun's words proved to be prophetic, four days later on Jin's 15th birthday, Jun was attacked by Ogre. Hours after the chaos, Jin awoke amongst rubble and searched for his mother, but he could not find her anywhere. Jin swore revenge. Jin was then taken in by his grandfather, Heihachi Mishima, who began to train him in Mishima-Based Karate.

Tekken 3/Jin Story
 |
| Jin Kazama - Tekken 3 |
Meeting with destiny... At the age of 15, Jin found out that he was Kazuya Mishima's son. At the same time, his mother, Jun Kazama, possibly died. Jin trained himself under the supervision of Heihachi every day with the intention of defeating Ogre, who supposedly killed his mother. Heihachi was not only his grandfather, but also a reliable teacher.
Four years later, having mastered the Kazama and Mishima Fighting Styles, Jin started to take action as a martial artist.

During the game, Jin fought and defeated numerous opponents in the tournament including his rival Hwoarang which ended in a draw, but Jin continued the tournament and finally arrived at the temple where Ogre was hiding. Just as he approached the entrance to the temple, Heihachi appeared and forced him to fight in order to lure out Ogre, but kept this from him. Instead saying that he wanted to test Jin's abilities and determine whether he was strong enough to fight Ogre.
Jin defeated his grandfather and Ogre appeared before him. Angered by the sight of his mother's killer, Jin had his final fight with Ogre, fueled by rage. During the fight, Ogre absorbed the defeated Heihachi's power allowing him to become True Ogre and the fight continued.
Game Ending: Jin defeated True Ogre and had avenged his mother at last. Suddenly due to the extreme battle True Ogre violently exploded.
Mere seconds after his victory, Jin is attacked by Heihachi's Tekken Force, and received multiple gunshot wounds. Slowly succumbing to death, Heihachi shot Jin in the head, therefore killing his own grandson. However, when Heihachi turned his back and walked away, he saw the bodies of his Tekken Force before him, and turned around to see Jin morphed into his devil form, Devil Jin. Jin then slammed Heihachi through a wall of the temple and violently hurled Heihachi down into the ground. Finally, Jin spread his wings and flew off. Heihachi, weakly, sat up and watched as his grandson, Devil Jin, disappeared into the night.
Tekken 4/Jin story
 |
| Jin Kazama-Tekken 4 |
Brisbane, Australia; a city crowded with buildings, new and old. Nestled amongst the towering buildings of this city was a small dojo. A young man trained there, his face covered by the hood of his jacket. This young man trained there quietly, the young man was Jin.
Day after day, Jin trained in the traditional art of karate. Ever since Heihachi's betrayal, Jin loathed everything about himself. His Mishima bloodline, his fighting style, the Devil Gene in his blood, everything. He unlearned the Mishima-ryu fighting style, thanks to the dojo master's training, and mastered traditional karate.
Jin's thoughts burned with the desire to destroy the evil Mishima bloodline, the bloodline of his grandfather, Heihachi Mishima, and his father, Kazuya.
One day, Jin heard rumors that The King of the Iron Fist Tournament 4 was announced.
A once in a lifetime opportunity to exterminate the Mishima clan... Without hesitation, Jin hardened his resolve to enter the tournament.
After fighting many opponents in the tournament, including Hwoarang near the end where they promised to fight in the next tournament, Jin finally had a match with Kazuya, his father. On his way to fight Kazuya, Jin encountered the Tekken Force. Jin managed to take down a number of them but was outnumbered and eventually defeated. He was then taken prisoner by the Tekken Force.
Heihachi's Tekken Force, held Jin captive at Honmaru. When he arose Jin violently
attacked his father Kazuya, (whom in Jin's dream is antagonizing him to "give in to the anger", which would trigger his Devil Gene) and knocked him unconscious. Heihachi then foils Jin's escape, and challenges him to a fight in an attempt to take Jin's own Devil Gene from him. The two fought, and Jin proved that he was too much for Heihachi to handle. With Heihachi weakened, he then proceeded with his own mission (which was to destroy his evil bloodline by murdering his grandfather, his father, and then himself), but abruptly paused when he had a hallucination of his mother, Jun Kazama (this could also have been her soul reaching out to him). As a result, Jin dropped his grandfather and said, "Thank my mother, Jun Kazama," before once again flying off into the night.
Tekken 5 /Jin Story

| Jin Kazama-Tekken 5 |
After the grueling battle between Kazuya and Heihachi Mishima at Honmaru, Jin took flight, leaving the island behind. However, he was overwhelmed by an evil presence and lost consciousness.
Jin awoke to an unknown voice and saw a mountainy forest, which appeared to have been ravaged by a giant tornado.
However, Jin had no doubt that he was responsible for the destruction. Upon returning to Yakushima, Jin was plagued by recurring nightmares. Jin could feel the influence of the Devil Gene growing stronger.
"If this keeps eating away at me, I don't know how long I can hold on".

With nothing else left, Jin went out to end his bloodline.
Jin, once again, fought his rival Hwoarang, but the devil gene began to take over Jin again. During this time Hwoarang took the opportunity to strike and defeated Jin. Weakened, he left and later returned, but as Devil Jin and easily defeated Hwoarang (as shown in Hwoarang's ending).
After defeating Wang Jinrei in his human form, Jin encountered Jinpachi and bested him. Jin later transformed back into his devil form and had to fight off his cousin, Asuka Kazama. Jinpachi was not however completely unconscious, and reawoke in his devil form. A fierce battle ensued between Devil Jin and Devil Jinpachi. Jin was victorious and in his lust for power picked up Jinpachi and absorbed his power. Jin then transformed into a beast of immense power creating a massive shockwave during the transformation. He eventually returned to his normal form and gazed up at the sky (this is probably where Devil Within takes place if it is canon). Jin took over Mishima Zaibatsu and was saluted by an army of Tekken Force soldiers as he took his rightful place on the throne.
Tekken 6/Jin story
 |
| Jin Kazama-Tekken 6 |
Jin Kazama defeated Jinpachi Mishima and took over the Mishima Zaibatsu. He utilized his elite military unit, the Tekken Force, to carry out covert missions in order to engulf the world in chaos. Once he had rendered most countries' military power useless, he took over space colonies, oil fields, and other energy producing resources. He declared the Mishima Zaibatsu’s independence and waged war against the rest of the world.
The Mishima Zaibatsu swept across the globe, taking over nation after nation. But as the war continued, new opposing forces slowly began to show their presence. Jin learned that Kazuya Mishima was controlling the first and most powerful opposition, G Corporation. When the G Corporation placed a price on his head, Jin announced The King of Iron Fist Tournament 6, as if he had been waiting for the G Corporation to make its move.
However in the Scenario Campaign mode it is revealed that the war and tournament was just to fill the world with enough negative energy to make the physical form of the evil entity known as Azazel, because Kazuya and Jin are the ones who are known as the "Two Evil Stars".
Scenario Campaign Ending: Jin sacrifices himself to kill The Gold Azazel for good, to free himself from the Devil inside of
him. After Jin defeats Azazel, Raven finds Jin's body in the desert, not knowing if he is dead or alive. He still bears the Devil tattoo on his arm, indicating that Azazel's demise has not freed Jin from the Devil Gene.
Game Ending: Jin successfully defeats Azazel and Kazuya, and once out of the temple, is welcomed by one of his Tekken Force helicopters, but it has been comandeered by Heihachi. Heihachi then throws Nina out of the aircraft and leaps out of it to commence a battle with Jin. Jin the victor, escapes the collapsing temple on another one of his Tekken Force helicopters and heads back to Headquarters.
