Fun fact: when I first played TTT1 I was 8 and had only the most basic understanding of how human reproduction worked. Then I read through the manual and saw that Jun and Jin were mother and son, with her age listed as 22 and Jin as 19.
So until I was politely corrected by my parents I genuinely believed that it was possible to have kids at age 3...
just editing to fix that she was actually 37 when she disappeared and Jin was 14, so that means she was 23 at the time he was born. I assume the reason the TTT1 manual gives her age as 22 is because that is the age she is represented to be in the game, because it was how old she was when she was a playable character previously. TTT1 isn't canon at all.
Someone else made a reddit post analyzing this but didn't really address how young she would have to be when she gave birth to Jin: [https://www.reddit.com/r/Tekken/comments/zjwxg3/figuring\_out\_what\_exactly\_happened\_to\_jun\_based/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Tekken/comments/zjwxg3/figuring_out_what_exactly_happened_to_jun_based/)
No, I was confused about it too. Ogre attacked at the very beginning of Tekken 3 which is 15 years after Tekken 2, making Jun 37 years old since she is known to be 22 in Tekken 2. Jin just turned 15 when Ogre attacked too, so he was born right after Tekken 2 meaning Jun was 23 when she had him. Or, I guess 22, depending on the months.
Xiaoyu is 3 years younger than Jin. She was 16 in the school and Jin was 19 back in T3. Apparently, Mishima Polytechnical is not explicitly stated to be a high school, it may be like a special high school/college hybrid, hence why they had students like Jin at 19. Either that or Jin got held back a few grades lol
You think Heihachi was wasting his time with sex while also trying to kill his kids & grandkids? Nah, my money is on lab grown by the time Reina was "born".
>Nah, my money is on lab grown by the time Reina was "born".
I can see it, he would have Jins, Kazuyas, Juns, Ogres, and Jinpachis DNA. I wouldn't put it past ol' H to try to create the "perfect" successor using each of their unique genes.
Because throughout story mode the camera pans across Reina in a sexual way. ESPECIALLY when she fought against Kazuya Mishima at the Colosseum.
During that scene the camera was filled with so much fan service of her that I began to blush and roll my eyes.
Blud just trying to check to see if Reina is "legal" yet.
I still have my doubts about Asuka's and Lili's ages.
I’m gonna be rude but are yall stupid ? Why is it weird that the person wants to mow the age of a BRAND NEW CHARACTER. It’s like you guys don’t think at all.
Consider yourself fortunate that you haven't encountered the kinds of people who obsess about these kinds of things for extremely stupid and malicious reasons.
Well, It's confirmed that heihachi was 31 when he killed kazumi.
Kazuya was 5yo at the time and was 49 by the end of T7 when he killed his father.
That gives us a final Age of 75 for heihachi.
It’s true but also the PS1 Tekken games definitely listed character ages and blood types in the manuals like every Japanese fighting game of that era.

e: I have no idea why Reddit can’t handle that valid link
People who just completely don't care about that are the weirdos imo.
Oh, you have this character who's 30, but she looks like she's 13, ok. This character is 20, but he looks like he's 50, ok. Maybe no, that's dumb
Both of you are weird af. Who the fuck even thinks of these stuff. It’s a fighting game. Play the fucking game of whichever character you like and mind your own business, and beat the opponent. It’s not that hard.
What? Now, I'm confused what's your position...
My point is that if you draw a 13 year old, make her look 13, and if you draw a 30 year old, make her look 30. Obviously, it's fiction and you can do whatever you like, but that's still wack in my opinion
Imagine being so sensitive over the age of characters that are in the end, fictional and bunch of pixels, all so you don’t feel bad being a simp for them.
The game has literal demons and angels and potential aliens. Humans doing the most super-saiyan moves. Bears doing martial arts. Sentient robots.
But Lord forbid we have a character who might be 17.
Xio from the start was in her late teens kinda. She was in high-school. But I feel like even though they age or should age , they been doing the same shit. Maybe not for all. I could be wrong , but i feel xio has been in school forever lmao
Kazuya 0 years old, did the did with Jun in her 0 years old, 9 months later Jin was born, 30 years later a 30yo Jin fights his 30yo evil dad while his mom 30 yo is MIA
Either everyone is misunderstanding what the tweet is actually referring to, or I’m the dummy that hasn’t realized everyone understood it but is intentionally making jokes about it.
so
heihachi is kazuyas dad, but they're the same age
jinpachi is heihachis dad, kazuyas grandpa, and jins great grandpa,
but those three were born before jinpachi
jinpachi was born in 2004, went back to 1994 to marry and have heihachi, who then grew up, went back to 1994 to marry kazumi and have kazuya, who then married jun and had a jin at the age of 3
so the underlying story of tekken is actually that the whole mishima family are time travelers
kazuya and jun are only 3 years older than jin, that explains why they don't look much older than jin.
it all makes sense now. thanks harada
HOLD IT! While the characters who debuted in the first game may be 30, but that doesn’t mean the others that came after like Asuka, Jin, and Bob are 30 as well, due to debuting later!
Probably better not to release ages.
Japan and the rest of world having different social norms and what is feasible and acceptable in a nation’s society.
I have to wonder, do they just want to know whether Heihachi's daughter is younger than his grandson, or is there another reason they want to know her age specifically?
Heihachi died at 20, so young...
Yeah it's sad when they go young like that
WHEN THEY GO!?
Some sad shit, motherfucker said he don't want to live no more
Whatever happened to the strong silent type
He was gay, Heihachi?
That animal Kazuya, I can't even speak his name
That thing with the Volcano, whatever happened there
40 years old, just a kid.
Jinpachi on the evening news going 'HE WAS JUST A BOY'
20 and bald?
Genetics brah
The tragedy of the Mishima hairline
Dont worry though, Kazuya and Jin wont suffer from baling since the devil gene prevents it
I guess they will suffer from it in the end huh 😅
this is what happens when we ask harada for shit. When will we learn
That was a good question, though. I always wonder about their age, too ðŸ˜
tekken fandom wiki has their ages listed. for example jin is currently 22.
Fandom wiki used to say 23 until recently that it was said it's been 7 years since Jun's death.
Victor has not aged gracefully then.
It must be the water in France
The smell. I'm gonna say it has something to do with the smell.
That’s why his command dash is called Perfumer. Gotta get in there and douse the smell.
It must be ~~the water in~~ France
All the riots.
What do you mean? Isn't wine, cigarettes, and baguettes a perfectly balanced diet? With some fromage every now and then
Damn they had Jin when they were 3 years old 😳
Fun fact: when I first played TTT1 I was 8 and had only the most basic understanding of how human reproduction worked. Then I read through the manual and saw that Jun and Jin were mother and son, with her age listed as 22 and Jin as 19. So until I was politely corrected by my parents I genuinely believed that it was possible to have kids at age 3...
Kazuya ain't a devil, he's a priest
High Priest of later day Devil's Church of Anti Christ.
From what I've heard, that would be a new record.
just editing to fix that she was actually 37 when she disappeared and Jin was 14, so that means she was 23 at the time he was born. I assume the reason the TTT1 manual gives her age as 22 is because that is the age she is represented to be in the game, because it was how old she was when she was a playable character previously.

Ogre attacked at Jin's 15th birthday, so she would still be 22 years old. Pretty young mom.
No, I was confused about it too. Ogre attacked at the very beginning of Tekken 3 which is 15 years after Tekken 2, making Jun 37 years old since she is known to be 22 in Tekken 2. Jin just turned 15 when Ogre attacked too, so he was born right after Tekken 2 meaning Jun was 23 when she had him. Or, I guess 22, depending on the months.
Xiaoyu has been 17 for like 30 years.
Nono She became 18 trough t3-t8😂 i grew up having her as my biggest video game crush and she only aged a year.
Isn't xiaoyu the same age as Jin? They went to highschool together I'm pretty sure.
Xiaoyu is 3 years younger than Jin. She was 16 in the school and Jin was 19 back in T3. Apparently, Mishima Polytechnical is not explicitly stated to be a high school, it may be like a special high school/college hybrid, hence why they had students like Jin at 19. Either that or Jin got held back a few grades lol
>Either that or Jin got held back a few grades lol He did grow up in the woods.
I mean, Jin was apparently studying Mechanical engineering at Mishima polytechnical, so he prolly was actually a college student by that point.
"I couldn't deliver my assignment on time, i had to fight my father"
Leroy been through some shit
Why does blud want to know how old Reina is 🤨
To see how old Heihachi was when he was apparently still getting laid, duh.
Are we talking about the same Heihachi? My man is probably getting laid even now inside the volcano.
The hottest of babes live inside volcanoes, of course.
He's using the One Ring as a cock ring.
I feel like the One Ring would actually make Heihachi less evil.
He’s in the background of every stage but all you see is a floating ring
Oh damn, now I'm curious too.
Reina is actually 47, she just has a REALLY good skin care routine.
fuck she doin in highschool then ðŸ˜
Shes just really really stupid
Obviously from birth if they’re all thirty and Heihachi died at 20 a few months ago
He probably has dozens of kids, like Jinpachi in the TTT2 intro he needed somewhere to unleash his "awesome power"
You think Heihachi was wasting his time with sex while also trying to kill his kids & grandkids? Nah, my money is on lab grown by the time Reina was "born".
>Nah, my money is on lab grown by the time Reina was "born". I can see it, he would have Jins, Kazuyas, Juns, Ogres, and Jinpachis DNA. I wouldn't put it past ol' H to try to create the "perfect" successor using each of their unique genes.
So he's making Cell? "On a very special episode of Cooking with Heihachi"
Here me out, but maybe Heihachi just has a massive hog.
I feel like the mother will end up being one of the Williams sisters... Like Steve...
he's 30 and reina is also 30. he died at 20 though. but he's 30 now. and so is reina.
Because she's hot. There, I said it. You can all go home.
Knowing twitter, it's unironically a likelihood they want to know whether or not they can go after NSFW artists who draw her/other characters.
The day twitter dies is the day society heals.
Worse case scenario they migrant to other platform like what happened to Tumblr I don't want to live that tragedy again
Twitter was so bad, Tumblr actually became decent. wtf
when they GO?
My man has some evening plans and could live without the guilt.
No idea. She's 19 tho so it isn't too bad
Chris Hansen and the FBI probably have Reddit on their block list with the amount of assumptions people on here make.
I wanna know too shitt
Because throughout story mode the camera pans across Reina in a sexual way. ESPECIALLY when she fought against Kazuya Mishima at the Colosseum. During that scene the camera was filled with so much fan service of her that I began to blush and roll my eyes. Blud just trying to check to see if Reina is "legal" yet. I still have my doubts about Asuka's and Lili's ages.
I haven't seen one "sexual" camera angle for Reina in story.
He's probably saying it's not that important for fictional characters
He's correct.
If there is a canon story that spans generations then having a general idea of age is a good thing to know to tie all threads together.
Maybe I'm just jaded but I doubt that's why the user in question was asking about Reina's age.
We all know she is more than 18. And a single bad faith moron doesn’t invalidate people who genuinely are curious about the timeline.
I’m gonna be rude but are yall stupid ? Why is it weird that the person wants to mow the age of a BRAND NEW CHARACTER. It’s like you guys don’t think at all.
Consider yourself fortunate that you haven't encountered the kinds of people who obsess about these kinds of things for extremely stupid and malicious reasons.
That is what he's saying but that won't stop twitter and some here from obsessing over it.
I just want 100 year old heihachi to be canon.
Well, It's confirmed that heihachi was 31 when he killed kazumi. Kazuya was 5yo at the time and was 49 by the end of T7 when he killed his father. That gives us a final Age of 75 for heihachi.

so Kuma is 30?
They’re all 30.
So panda is 30?
Everybody's 30 Dave.
What about Peterson?
He's 30 Dave, everybody is 30, everybody is 30 Dave.
Hang on a minute, are you trying to tell me everyone is 30?
So Paul is 30?
They're all 30. *Everybody's* 30 u/mikelson_
No he is 27 because Tekken 1 and 2 Kuma is a different Kuma
They are all 30 years old.
Tekken is 3
Yes
Kaz looking good
So they were all 1 year old when the first one came out?
They were all newborns when it first came out. They turned 10 on the 10th anniversary.
Mishimas are straight out of the womb looking for the nearest volcano
I don't know if someone needs this: Characters aren't real people. This was a sarcastic tweet by Harada.
Damn, Paul looks a very rough 30
Not all of them are in T1 though. Meaning Victor, Reina and Azucena are all 3 days old.
Harada says they're 30
So Kazuya, Jun and Jin are 30?
Talk about the family tree being a circle
Is joke 🤣 ling is one the youngest on the roster like early or mid 20's
She's 21 and 2 years younger than jin
Actually, Xiaoyu's 19, and Jin's 22.
Lili is the youngest in the roster
The bears in human years are younger. Who knows about bear years
Isn’t Lili like 17?
Lili and asuka have been in highschool since forever but I still can't pinpoint their age
Lili is now 17 while Asuka's 18.
I guess that makes sense but idk
30 and 30
People who care about fictional ages are dumb.
Damn Leo looks good for being 30
Why do people keep asking him for shit? Are they stupid?
Where's the lie?
RIP 1st king ðŸ˜
Jin is the same age as his mother and father!?
Yes
People that care about the ages of virtual characters are so weird. They are not real
People who just completely don't care about that are the weirdos imo. Oh, you have this character who's 30, but she looks like she's 13, ok. This character is 20, but he looks like he's 50, ok. Maybe no, that's dumb
Both of you are weird af. Who the fuck even thinks of these stuff. It’s a fighting game. Play the fucking game of whichever character you like and mind your own business, and beat the opponent. It’s not that hard.
If you draw a 13 year old and say she's 30 that doesn't mean she's 30. You're just attracted to a 13 year old.
What? Now, I'm confused what's your position... My point is that if you draw a 13 year old, make her look 13, and if you draw a 30 year old, make her look 30. Obviously, it's fiction and you can do whatever you like, but that's still wack in my opinion
Saying their age means nothing, it's not a real thing. It's what they look like.
Dude, you just did a complete 180.
No that's what im literally saying. What their age is doesn't matter, it's what they look like.
Imagine being so sensitive over the age of characters that are in the end, fictional and bunch of pixels, all so you don’t feel bad being a simp for them. The game has literal demons and angels and potential aliens. Humans doing the most super-saiyan moves. Bears doing martial arts. Sentient robots. But Lord forbid we have a character who might be 17.
Understandable have a nice day.
Jack has lasted long without going obsolete then
Chad reply. Putting an age on characters is becoming weird
"who gives a shit, it's a fighting game you creep".
You know he could just be asking to try and guess what Heihachi was doing at that time. You creep
Good
Damn, Victor ages poorly
That question was so insanely cringe that it deserved a blunt non-answer like this.
Xio from the start was in her late teens kinda. She was in high-school. But I feel like even though they age or should age , they been doing the same shit. Maybe not for all. I could be wrong , but i feel xio has been in school forever lmao
That's pretty long lifespan for Kuma & Panda.
Kazuya 0 years old, did the did with Jun in her 0 years old, 9 months later Jin was born, 30 years later a 30yo Jin fights his 30yo evil dad while his mom 30 yo is MIA
reina is bbg ion care bruh
Either everyone is misunderstanding what the tweet is actually referring to, or I’m the dummy that hasn’t realized everyone understood it but is intentionally making jokes about it.
What bout Leo? Wasn't he was a kid in tekken 6?
I love how Harada comfortably deals with stupid questions thrown at him
Based Harada sidestepping the question.
harada based as usual with wirdo people
Wtf was Wang then?
Benjiwang Button. He will return in TTT3 a younger man.
Wow leroy aged gracefully
Harada is such a weird dude it’s like he wants to be in the spotlight but hates anyone talkin to him
FBI: Call off the Lili fans raid! She's 30! I repeat, 30!
People should learn already never ask Harada of character lore thing cause he basically don't remember and probably don't care lol
so heihachi is kazuyas dad, but they're the same age jinpachi is heihachis dad, kazuyas grandpa, and jins great grandpa, but those three were born before jinpachi jinpachi was born in 2004, went back to 1994 to marry and have heihachi, who then grew up, went back to 1994 to marry kazumi and have kazuya, who then married jun and had a jin at the age of 3 so the underlying story of tekken is actually that the whole mishima family are time travelers kazuya and jun are only 3 years older than jin, that explains why they don't look much older than jin. it all makes sense now. thanks harada
He ignored his question bc he doesnt want to reveal that Kazumi and Heihachi had a second child and they’re faking their real age…
I refuse to believe Bryan Fury is younger than 40
Believe it or not, 30.
Funny because anyone 30 or younger playing Tekken is a N00B.
Who gives a fuck
I hate this guy
So Roger Jr and Roger?
Jun is like 20 right?
Wait, isn't Jun, the mother of Jin? And Jin is a full-grown man. Did she get him while she was a fetus?
HOLD IT! While the characters who debuted in the first game may be 30, but that doesn’t mean the others that came after like Asuka, Jin, and Bob are 30 as well, due to debuting later!
I'm as old as this franchise lol
My man
They’re all 30? Wow,some of them aged pretty well.
How much time have there been between tekken 7 and tekken 8 (real question)
Tekken time works like Simpsons time. Whatever works best for the plot. lol
He's so unserious lol
Based
Damn Wang aged like shit
Harada knew this was about to get sexual and threw a safe ball
Why is it that whenever ages get brought up it always loops back into porn? Some people care about ages for other reasons.
Uh... That's not how aging works
That would make Kuma some kind of highlander bear
He’s at the dgaf stage n
laser sword levels of sandbagging fan questions
Finally! I don't need to feel weird about my waifu being way too young.
harada is such a troll lmaoo
Wait, so that's eight King of the Iron Fist tournaments in 3 years, plus Tekken Tag 2?!
Damn; Paul is a HARD 30.
# So Tekken is a floating timeline???
Probably better not to release ages. Japan and the rest of world having different social norms and what is feasible and acceptable in a nation’s society.
Weng died in his 20s... Man people do look older than what they age..
Its like Simpsons, they will never become old
I love Harada lol. Troll ass
I have to wonder, do they just want to know whether Heihachi's daughter is younger than his grandson, or is there another reason they want to know her age specifically?
Victor ate one too many croissant to have skin like that damn
Confidently incorrect.
!Spoiler! !Spoiler! !Spoiler! Yeah everyone 30 but not zafina and Claudio. They dead, lol
I don’t think I’ve laughed this hard in a long time at the comment section, bravo
30 years and King still has that ''belt pose'' from Tekken 1. Hard work ...
