Jin Kazama (Earth-3900)

"If it takes my death so be it! You will not destroy the Shaolin. We have something you lack. Friendship, allies and most important, freedom."

- - Jin to Baraka

Jin Kazama was a Shinobi Monk of the White Lotus Society who is one of it's greatest warriors as well as the best friend and companion of the late Ryū Hōshi, the former champion of the King of Iron Fist Tournament until his death at the hands of Shang Tsung. A loyal ally, and a pupil of Raiden and Bo' Rai Cho, Jin is the descendant of the late Jinpaichi Kazama, who was killed at the hands of Goro. As a young adult, Jin proved himself after aiding Raiden, Ryū, Nina, Jax, Johnny Cage and Mitsurugi at the Tenth King of Iron Fist Tournament, and then became a founding member of the Defenders of the Realm during the Eleventh King of Iron Fist Tournament, on Outworld, where he observed Ryū winning against Shao Kahn in Kahn's Arena itself.

Back to Earthrealm, it took barely one day of peace when Outworld and Shao Kahn took their next step: invading Earthrealm. Jin joined the Defenders once more, and, at the end, had Shao Kahn bested once more by Ryū. Two years later, Jin would find himself fighting for Earth alongside his friends once more, but now against the fallen Elder God Shinnok and Nightmare. After Ryū, with the combined efforts of the Defenders of the Realm and Shadaloo won against the Elder God and the Soul of Evil, Jin returned with his friend to Japan where both passed the next three years at piece. However, with the formation of the Deadly Alliance by Shang Tsung and Quan Chi, and the subsequent assassination of Ryū, Jin became vengeful, assembling the Defenders of the Realm himself in the hopes of killing both sorcerers, though this was unsucessful, as he was later brainwashed by Onaga.
