Yoshimitsu

Yoshimitsu is a character that first appeared in the Tekken series, and went on to appear in the Soul Calibur series also.

Overview

Yoshimitsu is one of the only characters that has appeared in every Tekken game as well as being featured in the Soul Calibur series. He has a different appearance in every game he is featured in, although his player 2 costume is pretty similar in all games he has appeared in. He made his first appearance in the original Tekken in 1994, in which he is described as a ninja from space.

Fighting Style

Yoshimitsu uses a quick fighting style with a lot of quick stabs and points to dance around his opponents. He wields a standard katana, which enables him to use his famed "suicide attack". He is also equipped with a flag on his back in Soul Calibur, allowing him to hover for a few second above or over his opponent. Other aspects of his arsenal include the ability to teleport around his enemy and use his katana as a pogo stick to jump around and injure his enemies.

Soulcalibur Story

Yoshimitsu is the leader of the Dura-Anti Manji Clan. After his village is destroyed by a lord who he refused alliance with, he then attempts to fight the army and loses while losing his arm in the process. He then begins on the quest to obtain the famed “Soul Edge” to get revenge on the lord and his army. When he finally reaches the sword, he realizes that he will be no better than the character known as Nightmare and there for does not take it.

Tekken Story

In the Original Tekken Yoshimitsu entered the tournament as a decoy so that the Tournament's funds can be stolen by other members of the Dura-Anti Manji clan. In Tekken 2 Yoshimitsu enters the tournament to rescue Doctor Boskonovitch, who aided him in the original Tekken. Yoshimitsu appears in all the following Tekken games, his reason for entering being a combination of avenging friends and forming alliances between the Zaibatsu and Manji Party.
