"...In the year 2039, after World Wars destroyed much of civilization, the remaining territories are no longer run by governments, but by corporations, the mightiest of which is the 'Mishima Zaibatsu'.
In order to keep the masses down, Mishima sponsors the 'King of Iron Fist Tournament', or 'Tekken', where fighters battle to the death and one winner receives a lifetime of stardom and wealth.
We are introduced to this violent world through the eyes of 'Jin Kazama' who enters the tournament to avenge the death of his mother that he blames on Mishima Zaibatsu's powerful chairman 'Heihachi Mishima'.
He knows that the only way to get close enough to Mishima is to win the tournament, while uncovering his own past, revealing his inner demons and exposing the dark underbelly of the Tekken tournaments that threaten the very existence of humanity..."
