Tekken #1


Book Description

For 40 years a civil war has raged within the Mishima family, one that has pitted father against son, grandfather against grandson, for control of the Mishima Zaibatsu Corporation. The King of Iron Fist Tournament – a legendary martial arts contest that pits the world’s strongest fighters against each other in the quest for fortune and glory – has been home to many such battles. After gaining ownership of Mishima Zaibatsu following his triumph in the fifth King of Iron Fist Tournament, Jin Kazama used his position to instigate a worldwide war in an attempt to awaken the nefarious demon Azazel. Sacrificing himself in order to defeat the beast, Jin hoped to rid himself of the Devil Gene that taints his bloodline… but following Azazel’s demise, he discovered the curse still remains within him. Now, with Jin’s current whereabouts unknown and ownership of the Zaibatsu reverting back to the diabolical Heihachi, the fate of the world remains unclear.
