What country is Jin Kazama listed as being from?

The story behind the answer

Jin Kazama is listed as being from Japan.

Jin is the central protagonist of the Tekken series from Tekken 3 onward. He is the son of Kazuya Mishima and Jun Kazama, linking the aggressive Mishima family with the more disciplined Kazama family. His Japanese origin is part of his official character profile, even though Tekken’s story frequently moves him across international tournaments and military conflicts.

Jin first appeared in Tekken 3 in 1997, entering the King of Iron Fist Tournament after Ogre attacks his mother. He trains under his grandfather Heihachi Mishima, but later rejects Heihachi’s influence after discovering his betrayal. His Devil Gene and the conflict between his family’s legacies drive much of his story.

A common mix-up is confusing Jin’s nationality with those of other Tekken fighters. Hwoarang is Korean, Marshall Law is American, and Ling Xiaoyu is Chinese. Jin’s family background is complicated, but the country listed for him is Japan.
