Aside from suppressing the Devil Gene. Does the power flowing in Kazama bloodline have any other special... Properties? I can think of them as a healing magic of some sort aside being a suppressor of the Devil Gene but very little is known about them so I asked what you think of it
Kazama Clan Powers
Hey! Here is the section of the page you want:
In the section on spiritual powers, you'll see that we use quite tentative language since nothing is confirmed, but basically yes there seems to be some kind of power that can surpress the Devil Gene and this may be hereditory. We know this from the effect Jun had on Kazuya, from implied intro and win poses in both tag games, from Devil's words to Jin in Kazuya's Tekken 4 ending, and from Asuka and Devil Jin's Tekken 5 interludes and endings.
We also know that the family have a strong spiritual sensibility. In Jun's Tekken 2 bios we see that she saw her father's ghost, and we see that wild animals come to her and feel at ease around her. In Tekken 4, Jin also saw some kind of vision of his mother, and in Hwoarang's Tekken 3 ending, Jin glows with a white electric other-worldly aura that looks quite different to anything devil related. So, it's possible that might also be a part of his Kazama heritage, though I'm less sure on that last one given that Jin's Tekken 3 ending is about Devil's awakening. But both Jun and Jin have seen visitations of their parents and seem very spiritually in tune with their surroundings (Jun's spirit fades into a statue of the Buddha), and it's possible that this is part of the Kazama lineage too.

Hopefully Tekken 8 will finally manage the lore of Tekken better than the previous ones !! Even if Tekken 7 seemed to go toward the right direction with the introduction of the Hachijo clan, yet the story mode was dissapointing
So don't dissapoint us Tekken 8 ^^
It's pretty interesting how I think they're gonna manage to finally connect Azazel to the Hachijos/Mishimas and Possibly Kazamas
Like the creature in the murals at the end of the first chapter of tekken 8 is OBVIOUSLY Azazel, look at the purple skin color, look at the chest pattern and the green and blue jewelry, look at the head gear.
But if you're familiar with japanese mythology, the murals are also obviously a reference to the myth of Susanoo killing the eight-headed dragon Yamato-no-Orochi.
All Mishimas have the kanji meaning the number eight in their names, Kazuya is no exception.
In Arcade Quest, the guy who going to be your player character's rival and possibly finale challenge and who is obviously kazuya-coded (and mains kazuya, even) is named literally Orochi.
As for Susanoo, well he is dressed in white, for starters, tho I dont think it holds any real weight... BUT. Jun has moves called "Tsukuyomi", "Amaterasu" and her rage art is even called "Amatsu Izanami", all are goddesses relatives of Susanoo. Susanoo is also the god of storms among other things, and the name Kazama roughly means "while the wind is blowing".

Love characterising nishikiyama as a booze hound drug hound meth addict high every day body mass 75% alcohol hands constantly shaking literally spacing out while driving fifty over the speed limit using elderly folk as speedbumps one hand on the wheel and one hand free to do more drugs and coming into work while functionally deaf and blind and he is still leagues more competent at his job than kiryu
#Yakuza loveblog#i dont talk about nishikiyama enough because im kazamapilled and hate him a little bit but im also kiryupilled and love him so much so you#see my problem? like i adore when nishiki is just. better in every way than kiryu and nobody ever sees that because theyre all too busy#sucking kiryus cock like okay nishiki had the rest of his life planned out when he was twenty and he was an extremely successful criminal#and getting himself noticed in many many circles then kiryu steps outside and gets into a street fight immediately and the entire tojo clan#surrounds him to throw cash at him like nishiki was actually doing so well for himself before his life was ruined. nothing is his fault#like i love just accepting that nishiki has one hell of a substance abuse problem and nobody cares enough about him to talk to him about it#and kiryu thinks its normal because hes the only one who can see that nishikis doing some great work out there so he must be doing#everything right. inconceivable that nishiki has any sort of ‘problem’ hes the real screwup and kiryu knows he makes life harder for himself#but he refuses to change because hes convinced that thats the only thing hes good at. like i believe that nishiki has a coke snorting#mechanic in game like harry db and without his coke buff he cant do as much damage like with it his output is on par with kiryus whos just#been blessed since birth by the violence gods. anyway kiryu is the only person in the world who thinks that nishiki is great do you get it#nishiki has lived his entire life in kiryus shadow and he doesnt care that kiryu has a natural charisma that he will never have. he has to#get out there every single day networking and socialising and hustling and nonstop landing interviews with cool magazines to get his name#out in the world while kazama takes kiryu out and drags him by the elbow to meet people like this is my son kiryu who has every disease and#everyone claps and cheers like i cannot stress enough how on top of the game nishiki is compared to kiryu. he has a car. kiryu doesnt even#have his own lighter. they are not on the same playing field and yet nishikis always trailing behind him because opportunity is always#knocking at kiryus doorstep whether he likes it or not and nishiki gets fed scraps and nothing else and hes the one with ambition he wants#the view on top and most importantly he wanted his brother there with him but nobody ... likes him ... nobody likes nishiki nobodys in his#corner he onky had kiryu and when he lost him it was quite literally him against the world. it always made me laugh how at the end of yk1#harukas paying her respects at nishikis grave when the only time he ever cared about her was because he wanted her little pendant and he#(actually fucked how alone nishiki was he didnt even have his own fucking men to rely on he was basically working alone with someone he knew#was using him like ??? he was fucking desperate) anyway i really love to think that kiryu being nishikis only friend and the last person in#the world who thought kindly of him (barring like ... kashiwagi) was grieving terribly over his death and haruka being a sensitive and#sweet little girl took the initiative to ask about nishiki and i think kiryu would tell her stories every night of the kind of stuff he and#nishikiyama would get up to when they were her age. he would tell her how amazing nishiki was and how he always looked out for him how he#took care of his sister and how he would always be the one to remind them of impending birthdays and the like. nishiki cared about the#little things .. and he made kiryu want to care about them too but theres just something different between them because nishikis always#been a better person than him .. and he would tell haruka in a voice that sounded like he was begging her to understand that nishiki wasnt a#bad person.. though he did bad things he was a good man and he still wishes with all his heart that he could have done more to save him ...

In my Nishiki fic I am trying to hone in on the fact that Kazama doesn’t necessarily actually love Kiryu more, but that he’s just an easier pawn. Like, as much as I love the jokes and even the fan art, the reality is that if you were to put Y3 Kiryu and on in the positions he was in with someone else in Kazama's place, he'd be angrier/more reluctant. Kazama is banking off of his position as the father of the trio in order to do his deeds, and that is his true evil.
I've said this in an earlier post, but I'll reiterate: Kazama sugarcoats using his kids, and because of that behavior he never addresses the root of his issue. To the sunflower trio, they believe they owe Kazama, even if they think of him as their father because of the undercurrent sentiment that they are costly. To Kiryu and Nishiki especially, to used is to be needed, even in precarious situations that could lead to their deaths. That, paired with the gokudo way that they so clearly idolize, it skews the way they can process their feelings towards Kazama.
#mine#kazama essentially married yumi off for clan reasons too#the reality is that nishiki isn't useless#it's that he measures himself against kiryu and therefore believes he serves the same purpose#if he'd stayed benevolent longer no doubt we would have seen him be used in his own way#oh if only i could write this much in the actual fic

The Like a Dragon TV series definitely falls under the "pretty good when you don't have an annoying bitch in your ear telling you it sucks" kind of show
They took a lot of artistic liberties, sure, but one of those was "Date walks up to the Tojo Clan Headquarters and starts smoking in their meeting room in front of the Head with no care" and another was "Kiryu fucks with Nishiki using a smart toilet" and yet another was "Kazama is hated by his orphans for trying to be their father" and hell if they didnt pop off with those

But then he announced the King of Iron Fist Tournament 8 and stated that any participant who would fail to prove their strenth would be killed and their country eradicated from earth's surface T_T
But the fact that Kazuya adress everyone by calling them "humans" suggest that it is more Devil talking than Kazuya himself during that scene. As a demonic entity, I guess Devil would be the kind to apply the "the strong live, the weak die" moto to the extreme.
We could also argue that Kazuya created those stakes to motivate his future opponents, but it's clear that Kazuya really sees himself as a Devil and act according to his demonic nature, which is to spread death and destruction. Yet in a way Kazuya is still giving the world a chance to stop him, if Heihachi could beat Devil Kazumi, and the Kazama power can weaken that of the Devil's, surely Kazuya must know that humanity won't bend that easily to his reign of terror, and that among them may be fighters strong enough to pose a challenge to him or stop him.
I believe kazuya being pure evil doesn't make any sense because it contradicts his whole character.
He loves his mother,so much he didn't believe she'd sent akuma to kill him.
He respects jinpachi,bows to him as seen in tekken 5 and only kills him in ending when devil gene takes over him. You can see he is conflicted.
He hates heihachi much more than he hates anyone else and that's if he hates someone other than heihachi. But when he finally kills him,which was depicted as a dramatic scene showing a broken man who was traumized and abused in childhood,suffered and humiliated by the man who was suppossed to be his father,the one who is responsible for the deaths of everyone he loved. Kazuya didn't look happy,didn't even smile. Definitely not pure evil attitude.
Kazuya has saved bruce when he lost his memories,when he simply could've ignored him. Bruce kinda considers Kazuya his friend.
Kazuya respects Anna and when she asked him she wanted to take a break for a while, He accepted her request.
When he found out lars is his half brother, kazuya warned him about the curse of mishimas and stopped the fight. You know he could've mopped the floor with lars but chose not to(no lars did only beat jin who was holding back alot and even harada himself stated that 3 main mishimas aka heihachi,kazuya and jin are much stronger than lars is).
Don't want to talk about jun because their relationship is a mystery and kinda one-sided with some statements speculating kazuya might have been in love with her. But damn,kazuya died because angel and devil were battling inside him and that was why he couldn't beat heihachi as he couldn't focus on the fight and go all out. Jun had that much impact on him. (T8 might reveal just what was their relationship like,why kazuya didn't come to meet jun after he was revived,does he at least respect her,etc)
Kazuya doesn't particularly hate jin and only wants to compete with him and take the devil powers. Jin hates Kazuya though and believes everything is his fault(dude is so deluded,heihachi screwed everyone but got away with it).
I mean yeah,he is now continuing a world war and killing thousands but pure evil thing is just BS. Hope they show us his human side once again. My man has suffered way too much😭

something i was thinking abt lately is Nishikis rise in the tojo clan. what we know abt him already is that hes a hard worker, he earns his own family, hes chastized about it though, being called an ass kisser and dismissing it as “favortisim”. but he GETS that 30 million for his sister in a futile attempt to save her life. i think its obvious to see that Kazama and Nishiki aren’t close, if he ever held affection for the younger man im unsure of it. I really dont think nishiki ever really saw him as a father figure anyways. its clear that kashiwagi is rather lienient with Nishiki, for nishikis sake im unsure of, it seems to be more for kazama than anything.
but i wonder how they felt, kazama and kashiwagi, as the nishikiyama family grew. Did he succeed their expectations? Did it worry them? Kazama was ashamed of his murders, he didnt want to be remembered as that sort of man, did he worry for nishiki? “There was nothing i could do” does that mean he tried to do something? Did they think he’d never get that far?
I like thinking about Kazama and Nishikis relationship alot, its so deeply important to the narrative considering that alot of nishikis ambitions come from a place of inadequacy, resentment, and rejection. yet its…. neglected. hardly even featured in the games. they obviously dont share the same father/son relationship kiryu and kazama do, i think kazama misguidedly thinks they do though. i really hate when people say kazama rasied the orphans like how kiryu does, its stated time and time again that he had other people there raising the children. i think awano even says its for taxes or whatever. (side note i saw someone say that kazama did everything he could to discourage people from swearing up but… did he? selfishly, he would visit those kids, wanting to play father, did he not think theyd feel indebted to him? that he would inspire them?
I wonder how strategic nishiki would be, he was beaten when he stepped on the kazama family’s turf, but did he push it again and succeed? I do sorta think kazama was rather fond of little nishiki. that he let his little hands dig into his pockets for candies, that he could swindle him out of his watches and maybe even cash, that he consoled him when nishiki would cry over yuko. but nishikis not crying anymore, hes a man now.
in the end, nishiki was more like kazama then kiryu ever was.

Thanks for the info lore answer regarding the Kazama clan's power. It's really both intriguing and frustrating that the Kazama Clan had potential in the main story yet Harada still refuse to touch upon it. I hope we get more lore dump in the next game regarding the powers and abilities of Jin's maternal side
No problem!
Yes, I wonder if we will get more Kazama Clan focus in future entries. It did feel from Asuka's Tekken 5 introduction like they wanted to draw attention to it again. I don't mind too much though, since I'm not a big fan of hereditory powers. I prefer agency to come from characters themselves and their shared dynamics. I'd like if any power the Kazamas had was rooted solely in their spirituality rather than because they belong to a certain bloodline.
I do like the idea of Jin having a strong spiritual sensitivity like his mother though, and I sometimes write him with a kind of trace ability to feel traumatic history through parts of his environment he touches. I prefer all that to have more to do with a cultivated receptivity to a spiritual world though, than to arise from blood ties.
I've similarly always gravitated more towards understanding Devil as a parasitic entity, so that the only genetic element is to do with the ability to stably host such a creature. I like Devil to be rooted in agency and a chosen evil, so that even though it presses on its host's mind and influences them, there is still agency when the human host chooses to do evil actions.
Magical bloodlines decrease character agency imo, and I like to see the magical elements tied more into chosen lifestyles, deliberate choice, and struggle with an alien entity whose power is a double-edged sword to the user's mental faculties.

Jun: I would be so good as your dead wife.
Kazuya: Jun...
Jun: Remember when we went on that walk in the woods and I ran a few paces ahead before looking back at you with a smile? Oh yeah you'll be thinking about that for years after I'm gone.
Kazuya: Jun go back to sleep...
#Kazuya: *suddenly wide awake* Besides we both know I would die before you.#OOC bc 1) obv duh and 2) neither would openly discuss their potential death like that#buuut I think ms. kazama wouldnt be opposed to talk about morbid elements like death. her clan is a spiritual one after all#tagging later

Do you have any idea the detrimental drama that would happen between these four parties would be after Kiryu goes to jail? Besides what we saw in canon
Shimano knows everything about Majima which is the worst fate for someone like him and there’s no way he wouldn’t have known his favorite is wildly obsessed with Kazama’s favorite. This could so easily be abused. I can just imagine the snide remarks about it coming up in the most timely situations. Like noticing how Majima is looking really down, bored, and fed up
Majima and Nishiki knew each other even if briefly in ‘88. What’s Majima thinking about what really went down while everyone is assuming Nishiki is useless? He would definitely see the shift in him. Would he ever confront him outside of any necessary job interactions before or after the switch? Or does he just watch from afar?
Kazama continues to not do anything for Nishiki while Kashiwagi does it all. Everything continues on as normal
The rest of the Tojo Clan: Aw shit this kinda sucks :/
These four bricks for the next ten years literally any time Kiryu comes up:
#Kashiwagi: Nishikiyama is becoming a completely different man#Kazama: Oh man that’s craaaaaaaaazzzyyyyyyyy#it’s funny to imagine him sleeping on Nishiki’s mental health collapsing but then possibly playing a hand in shielding Kiryu from Majima#funny? I lied#yakuza#ryu ga gotoku#like a dragon#yakuza kiwami#majima goro#akira nishikiyama#shimano futoshi#shintaro kazama#that video of Nishiki being confronted by Majima who blames him for Kiryu being in jail is canon actually#Takeuchi told it to me in a dream

i don't share the wild affection for the man that a lot of the yakuza fandom seems to have, but the scene in yakuza 0 where nishikiyama tries to take kiryu out to the woods and murder him as a mercy and can't bring himself to do it is just a great scene for both him and kiryu. it's tragic, romantic, doomed, particularly coming back to the game after playing yakuza kiwami, it's great
it does really underline how *bad* these two are at being yakuza, how bad a fit they really are for the organization. nishiki's weakness is the more obvious hamartia — a real yakuza wouldn't have tried to kill kiryu; a mediocre one would have actually killed him — but kiryu's strength is *equally* flawed. he tells nishiki that they aren't sworn brothers anymore, that he doesn't want him getting involved, and kiryu's unwillingness to accept loyalty while simultaneously refusing to relinquish his own is what drives him out of the clan and ultimately dooms the tojo. the yakuza, at least in these games, are collectives — their strength comes from their group identity, the families making up the subsidiaries making up the clan. insisting that you're strong enough on your own is just as destructive as being too weak for the structure. a weaker kiryu would have accepted nishiki's help, would have actually walked away together; would have listened to kashiwagi, to kazama, to any of the many many people that tried to explain what was actually happening to him.
majima is a good foil for both characters, since he's stronger than nishiki, (but also unable to kill an innocent), and also weaker than kiryu (but willing to accept the torture and loss of dignity that kiryu's tragic pride refuses). majima, because of his flaws, pieces together the plot much more thoroughly than kiryu, but also figures out a way to reconcile himself to the demands of yakuza life. which, i mean, that's a tragedy in its own right, but it's mostly a personal one, at least

I really expected kiryu to walk with a limp after the stabbing scene but hes literally fine he can run a marathon without breaking a sweat even with a hole in his stomach
#Yakuza liveplay#thinkinng of little kiryu fucjing chasing sfter the taxi that shimano and kazama took#like was he just keeping pace ? did they spot him ? like they obviously didnt because kazama would hve stopped him#was kazama just looking out the window lost in thought#and shimano was watching kiryu chase the taxi on foot like oh its kazamas stupid brat im gonna let him follow us because that means i might#get an opening to shoot him and claim it was an accident#wnd kiryud just redfaced sprintung along behind the taxi at his top speed and watching it get marginally further and further away#also seeing shimano and kazama together is a little hot because theyre lie two very important embers of the tojo clan and if theyre together#it means some fucking shit is about to go down
