Yoshimitsu

Yoshimitsu (吉光) is a name used by several player characters in the Tekken and Soul series of fighting games by Namco. He is one of the four characters (the others being Heihachi Mishima, Paul Phoenix, and Nina Williams) to have appeared in all the main Tekken installments, with the noticeable exception of Tekken Revolution (widely considered to be a non-canon entry storywise, like the Tekken Tag Tournament series). Although details of the character's biographies have varied in different games and other media, each Yoshimitsu is consistently portrayed as the leader of the honorable Manji Clan, a practitioner of ninjutsu, and a master swordsman with a mechanical prosthetic arm. The characters have been well received by both fans of the series and critics alike.
