After defeating Kazuya Mishima in the second King of Iron Fist Tournament, Heihachi Mishima reclaimed the Mishima Zaibatsu and founded the Tekken Force, a paramilitary outfit sworn to protect the company. One day, a squad of Tekken Force soldiers excavating an ancient temple in Mexico is all but annihilated by a mighty creature known as Ogre. Heihachi's one hope of countering it is his grandson Jin Kazama, who lives with his mother Jun, unaware of his lineage. When Ogre attacks their home and seemingly kills Jun, Jin seeks out his grandfather and trains in the family martial arts. On Jin's nineteenth birthday, Heihachi announces the third King of Iron Fist Tournament — intending to use Jin as bait to lure Ogre into the open.
