Referencing Kunimitsu 's Tekken 2 story, it is revealed that Yoshimitsu's blade is passed down through the Manji Clan's leaders as the previous leader is ritually sacrificed, and the blade absorbs their power and skill. In the game's story, Yoshimitsu enters the first tournament as a decoy, so that other members of the Manji Party can steal the tournament's funds unobserved.
Yoshimitsu learns about a sumo wrestler called Ganryu , whose disrespectful attitude in the ring cost him his promotion into Yokozuna rank. This base disrespect for the sumo code infuriates Yoshimitsu and he defeats Ganryu.
At a later time Yoshimitsu leads an infiltration on Dr. Boskonovitch's lab in order to steal his Eternal Energy device. Though Yoshimitsu loses his arm during the infiltration, Boskonovitch helps the injured ninja escape and fits him with a mechanical prosthetic.
Grateful for his help, he told Boskonovitch to call him whenever he needs help. In Tekken 2 , Yoshimitsu learns that Doctor Boskonovitch has been kidnapped by the Mishima Zaibatsu and enters the second Tekken tournament to rescue him.
Kunimitsu, Yoshimitsu's former Manji Clan second-in-command returns to the tournament in order to steal the clan's tachi. Yoshimitsu defeats her and drops out of the tournament to rescue the Doctor after learning his location. After the timeskip, Yoshimitsu visited Boskonovitch, who is suffering from a disease that he caught when he built the Cold Sleep machine. Boskonovitch told him that the disease can only be cured using the blood of Ogre, the Fighting God that was recently awakened from its deep slumber.
During the tournament, he is targeted by Bryan Fury , a cyborg sent by Dr. Abel to kill him and capture Dr. Yoshimitsu manages to escape. The outcome of his search is not known, though he most likely succeeds. Two years later, Yoshimitsu realized that the future of his clan is waning due to the constant lack of necessary funding and manpower.
He does and quickly enters the tournament. While Yoshimitsu is robbing the Mishima Zaibatsu mansion near the end of the fourth tournament, he discovered an unconscious Bryan Fury. Lawrence Maldonado is a writer, editor, and lifelong video game nerd born and raised in Brooklyn, New York.

His favorite video game of all time? The answer changes almost daily. By Lawrence Maldonado Published Nov 14, Share Share Tweet Email 0. Namco depicted Kunimitsu as a man in the first game, but every appearance afterwards depicted Kunimitsu as a woman in a fox mask. As of Tekken 2 , Kunimitsu was excommunicated from the Manji Clan for stealing some of their funds.
Her plot was that she wanted to take out Yoshimitsu and wield his sword for herself. Interestingly enough, while they never outright said what happened to her, Kunimitsu has yet to make a single canon appearance since then. Cool mask and look, but was only around for a cup of coffee.
Still…somehow popular. For the first time in any game, we got robot-armed Yoshimitsu, as kindly mad scientist Dr. Bosconovitch rescued him and turned him into a cyborg. This gave Yoshimitsu helicopter hand abilities, which was essential because the game introduced boxing kangaroos and velociraptors, so he needed to weird up his repertoire to stand out more. Bosconovitch was forced to do some mad science for new top villain Kazuya Mishima until Yoshimitsu paid him back by rescuing him and flying off with his sweet helicopter hand.
Tekken 3 jumped ahead a generation to play up the new teenaged hero Jin Kazama. Yoshimitsu traded his oni mask and classic attire for something a bit more outrageous. He instead became some kind of cyborg Predator thing, which became his most iconic look.
Storywise, Yoshimitsu was out to save the life of Dr. Bosconovitch yet again, though this time he was dying from illness. Presumably, they figured out the cure in the end, but when they fed the blood sample to a little mouse for testing, it caused the tiny rodent to go full-on kaiju.
Yoshimitsu showed up in Tekken Tag Tournament , which brought back Kunimitsu. The winner depends on which character you use. The whole thing was a mess of a story and the comic got cancelled after a single issue, but it did have enough Yoshimitsu to at least mention.
He teamed up with Lei Wulong against Bryan Fury and made enough wisecracks to suggest that he was being depicted as pretty much Deadpool, even down to the fourth-wall breaking. Tekken 4 came with another Yoshimitsu design, which happens to be my favorite. The dude dressed as a skeleton dressed as a beetle, complete with wings.
Then Yoshimitsu would peace-out while deflecting bullets with his badass beetle armor. Bryan Fury is an undead cyborg corrupt cop whose appearance and Tekken 4 storyline are based on Roy Batty from Blade Runner. Despite being strong enough to throw tanks around, Bryan was on a biological time-limit and wanted to force Dr.
Abel into giving him more life. Bryan collapsed after punching the hell out of Abel and went lifeless. Yoshimitsu found the body and handed him over to Dr. Bosconovitch, who offered to make Bryan a new, mechanical body. Deciding that he got what he needed, Bryan went back against his agreement, attacked the doctor, killed a bunch of Manji warriors, and escaped.
Hence, we got a sweet Yoshimitsu vs.
