Main Story

Power and greed are the root of all evil.Heihachi and Kazuya lock horns for the final time to decide who is the head of the Mishima Financial Empire. Tremendous wealth and power go to the winner...the loser, a burial in a volcanic crater.

Unsatisfied and a thirst yet for more, Heihachi sets his goals even higher. A plan for world peace falsely gains the confidence and support of leaders worldwide. In this time a baby is born...

Fifteen years later a secret excavation by Heihachi's "Tekken Forces" in Central American ruins unearths an unusual find. In their final communiqu with Heihachi they report the sighting of a mysterious "God of Fighting." Heihachi immediately heads to the scene aboard his private jet. Upon arrival he finds only scattered corpses. The wheels in his head start to spin..."What kind of thing is responsible? Under my control, maybe I could control the world!"

Within weeks, strange disappearances occur throughout the world. Personsmasters of strong soul, of the martial arts and other derivative fighting knowledge disciplines are reported missing... with no of their whereabouts.

Jin Kazama is now a young man of fifteen years. Though he and his mother Jun live peacefully in the mountains, her intuition warns of impendinghim of a danger. She tells him of a tremendous power seeking their lives. No longer a child and deserving of answers, Jun explains the story of his father, grandfather and the legend of Tekken. Fearful of what lay ahead she tells Jin to go to Heihachi if anything happens to her.

Her intuition proves right on a cold, stormy night. The "God of Fighting" comes to the mountains bringing a chilling, swirling wind. Still not a man and unpolished in his fighting skills, he is no match. His last words heard before losing consciousness are his mother yelling "run, run far away".

Bright morning sunlight awakens Jin. The house and everything around it is burned to the ground. Searching frantically for his mother she is nowhere to be found. Following his mothers wishes, Jin seeks out Heihachi Mishima. Upon hearing of what happened, Heihachi reasons that the "God of Fighting" thrives on the "strong souls" of others...the souls of Tekken. Jin asks Heihachi to teach him how to defeat the "God of Fight".

As a ploy to lure the "God of Fighting", Jin plans to one day organise "The King of Iron Fist Tournament 3". Such a gathering of strong souls would be too much for his arch enemy to resist!

Jin enters his nineteenth year. Four years of tutelage under Heihachi Mishima have prepared him for his meeting with destiny. The tournament is about to begin...
