History Characters / Tekken2

* LethalChef: Harada states that Jun is... ''not'' a good chef by any means. He states it's because Jun is too wary of the ecological impact of her cooking that it distracts her. Even her son ''Jin'', who adores her, states her cooking "kills the ingredients a second time."

* {{Retcon}}: Originally, she was stated to have died before the events of ''Tekken 3'' at the hands of Ogre (the head Ogre held up in the game's intro was presumed to be her head). Later on, it was established that she was merely missing. Indeed, she turns up alive and well in ''Tekken 8''.

!!Lei Wulong

!!Baek Doo San

* ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming: One of her throws is called Tsukuyomi (The Shinto god of the moon).

** [[spoiler: To Kazuya's mother, Kazumi, where she ordered Akuma to kill Heihachi and Kazuya, despite her love for the latter, implied that she knows he will become evil if he was influenced by the former, failed as her son survive, and the father was now a war-monger, while Jun wanted to save Kazuya and Jin from their mutual destruction, which succeeded by helping her son purify the "Devil Gene." ]]
*** [[spoiler: Both have opposing bloodline abilities: The Kazama clan's spiritual cleansing blood and the Hachijo's Devil Gene.]]

!!Jun Kazama

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Her ''Tag 2'' design resembles how Creator/SaoirseRonan looked back in the early 2010s.

** In ''8'' [[spoiler: Jin learns that his Kazama powers can be used to manipulate the Devil Gene, not just supress it, and once he combines both, his transformation changes and he's called "Angel Jin" by the game, and later after he destroyed the Devil Gene within him and Kazuya, his angelic powers disappear also. This raises questions over Angel's nature, specially since her Japanese ''Tekken 2'' and ''Tag 2'' profiles both say her and Devil are two sides of the same coin. So is she a human with the Devil Gene who has a similar power to Kazamas? Not a human but still has the devil gene?]]

* CowardiceCallout: In ''Blood Feud'', she gives Jin Kazana a ReasonYouSuckSpeech about how he refuses to summon the guts to own up to his mistakes and has continued to let fear rule his heart and drive his every action when he had a choice to cast it aside.

** Originally, in ''Tekken 2's'' arcade version she has Devil' name and shares at least one voice clip with him, which likely means she wasn't a separate character, just a costume. Specially considering Roger and Alex do share slots as well but don't have the same name.
** Her ''Tekken 2'' profile says her and Devil are two sides of the same coin, and that because Kazuya was bewitched by Devil, people can see either a dark devil or a shining angel. What this means is vague, it could be that her and Devil are connected despite being so different, or that they're the same being, the latter may be why Angel shared voice clips with Devil and had his name on the Arcade version (Though even that is debatable considering Angel has her own name on her profile, so maybe the profile was written after the arcade version was out).

** By ''Tag 1'' she was definitely a separated being from Kazuya, because unlike Devil, Kazuya doesn't transform into her when tagging out and vice versa (And that was explicity coded in, in the arcade version, if you hacked Kazuya and Angel to be on the same team, which's normally not possible, they'd transform into each other), and her ending shows her separated from him and repressing Devil from Kazuya.
** An odd variation of this trope happens with ''Tag 1's'' Netsu mechanic contradicting what her ending shows, as Kazuya is on the list of characters she hates (Meaning she'll never get Netsu when he gets beaten up), but her ending has her repressing Devil and smiling at Kazuya after doing so, it's specially noticeable considering that ending is identical to Jun's ending, only with characters being swapped.

* FemaleAngelMaleDemon: In ''2'' she is, at least metaphorically, the female angel to Kazuya, with Devil being the male demon.

* GoodHurtsEvil: Surprisingly played straight, given how far this trope has been [[DiscreditedTrope discredited]] by now. Angel isn't seen much, but when she does, she [[CurbStompBattle curbstomps]] just about everything even remotely evil and also purifies those who are still able to be saved. [[StoryBreakerPower It's maybe for this reason]] that [[TooCoolToLive she is excluded in the later series]].

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Probably unintentional, probably not... but the fact is, in ''Tag 2'', Angel looks an awful lot like Irish-American actress Creator/SaoirseRonan back in circa 2010-11.

* PowerEchoes: Her shouts was distorted in order to achieve this effect in ''Tag 2''.

* PutOnABus: Angel hasn't made a canonical appearance since ''2''. Given that Kazuya has shown almost no redeemable qualities since his return and became one with Devil at the end of ''4'', [[PutOnABusToHell Angel's bus might have been on a one-way trip to Hell]]. [[TheBusCameBack Angel returned to the series]] in ''Tekken Tag Tournament 2'', along with others like Kunimitsu, Michelle, and regular Ogre. As with Alex, Kunimitsu, Michelle and Jun, it should be noted that the Tag games are non-canon, though.

* StoryBreakerPower: Her endings generally have her defeating Devil Kazuya, and she's also shown the capacity to supress the Devil Gene. Titan's ''Tekken 7'' comic also has her easily defeating Devil Jin, even though she was tortured for a while. Battles like these can give the impression she's around their level of power while also being a [[ManOfKryptonite Woman of Kriptonite]] towards the Devil Gene, while characters with similar powers (Like Claudio and Asuka) aren't as strong. Perhaps it's because of these factors she hasn't returned.

* TrainingFromHell: How she trained her son in the movie.

* StrongFamilyResemblance: In reverse. Originally, her son Jin resembled Kazuya moreso than her (not to a considerable degree, but there were some who mistook Jin for a teenaged Kazuya).

* TechnicalPacifist: Jun prefers to avoid violence, and is an ApologeticAttacker who is willing to heal her defeated enemies, but if a fight is unavoidable she’s a serious opponent, one of the best fighters of the series, hero of the second game, and taught her son well enough for him to become the main character of the series.
* TookALevelInBadass: In her first appearance she is certainly effective, however when the story was expanded for home consoles it turns out she is linked to [[BigGood Angel.]] ''3'' makes her beating Devil official, and her son Jin whom she personally trained becomes TheHero. Then it's confirmed that [[spoiler:Unknown is her SuperpoweredEvilSide]]. Her status of killed by Ogre is later made ambiguous, with it being eventually confirmed that she managed to barely ''defeat'' Ogre in ''8'', albeit she's imprisoned in the spirit realm as a result. In ''8'', she also gains even more levels of badass, and can summon literal light to enhance her combat abilities, [[spoiler:without even turning into Unknown.]]

* CharacterisationMarchesOn: Initially, Jun is portrayed as the purest of pure. However, as the series progresses, her mysteriousness is played up, and she becomes more aloof, to the point that in the DreamMatchGame that is ''Tag 2'', she accepts the fact that she ''is'' Unknown. However, when she canonically returns in ''8'', she goes back to being PurityPersonified, while retaining an air of mystery about her.

* GoodIsNotNice: The animated film portrays her as something of a grump, wanting to help others but coming across as not being good with people. ''Tag 2'' also portrays her such, and her character redesign is darker. She reacts to Lili spying on her by telekinetically shattering her binoculars. [[spoiler: And she is the final boss of the game; beat her in the first round and she turns into [[OneWingedAngel Unknown.]]]]

* SNKBoss: When she's a boss, She knows the moves and tactics you use, and she has higher defense than even [[OneWingedAngel Unknown.]] She is regarded as better than most of the end game bosses in the series in ''Tag 2'', beating out Heihachi, Kazuya, Angel, Ogre, and Jinpachi. Tie in fast, tricky high/low attacks and juggles and SHE. WILL. HURT. YOU.
* SpiritAdvisor: Her father actually appeared to her in ghost form, which helped her retrain her spiritual awareness and nature-based powers after moving to the city. Jun herself acts as this for her son, which is '''strongly''' hinted at in Jin's ''4'' ending where a vision of her is enough to stop him from killing Heihachi. Also reprised in Devil Jin's ''Tag 2'' ending.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: In reverse. Originally, her son Jin resembled Kazuya moreso than her (not to a considerable degree, but there were some who mistook Jin for a teenaged Kazuya). In ''Tekken Tag Tournament 2'' however, Jun's facial features look closer to that of Jin's.
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: [[spoiler:Unknown, only in ''Tag 2''.]]

* WhatTheHellHero: If paired up with her son Jin in ''Tag 2'', she's seemingly aware of what Jin had done in ''6'' (which was starting WorldWarThree and causing the deaths of countless innocents), and isn't happy about it.
--> ''Did you forget my teachings?''

%%* YamatoNadeshiko: [[http://www.fightersgeneration.com/np6/char2/junkazama-artwork.jpg Some artwork]] paints her in this light.

* AloofDarkHairedGirl: Mostly in her ''Tag'' appearances. The [[PreviouslyOn Scenario Campaign prologue series recap]] in ''6'' also implies that Jun's aura of mystery is partly what drew Kazuya to her.

* AnimalMotif: She has ravens and crows on her ''Tag 2'' outfit. Both are usually birds of death, serving as foreshadowing for the reveal that [[spoiler: Unknown is her alter ego, or connected to her somehow]]. ''Tekken 8'' instead gives her a prominent dove theme, with one appearing in her intro and Rage Art, as well as her new outfit being modeled after the appearance of one. She still retains the raven and crow motifs as part of her enhanced spiritual powers, summoning shadowy images of them from out of the ground.

* AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: ''Tag 2'' treats her as some form of mystical energy being in the Tag games. Meanwhile, the mainline games imply that she has become Jin's SpiritAdvisor. It isn't until ''8'' that it's confirmed she's alive. [[spoiler: She trapped herself in the spirit realm in order to lure Ogre away from Jin, and she was in a coma for seven years after defeating him.]]
* BadassAdorable: Just because she's a beautiful and cute young woman doesn't mean she's helpless. Though this mostly applies to ''Tekken 2'', as while she looks just as young and beautiful in ''Tag 2'', her redesign makes her look a lot more aloof. Less so in ''8,'' where she looks significantly more mature, but still retains her beauty.

* CameBackWrong: Her alleged death and resurrection in ''Tag 2'' is handled [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Buffy Summers style:]] compared to her earlier portrayals, she's more standoffish, confrontational, grumpier and has a distinct lack of warmth, combined with a ComicBook/{{Venom}}-esque zombie goo element that turns her into a friendlier, yet crazier (non-canon) version of herself.

* TheChosenOne: Jun is specifically acknowledged as such by her family. Her abilities are considered special among the Kazama, and (unlike Asuka) she is fully aware of them and adept at using them. These abilities are finally shown in full for her return in ''8'', having been foreshadowed in ''Tag 2'' with her Unknown form.
* ConfusionFu: Her ''Tag 2'' movelist has many more mixups and alternate stances, including one ("Izumo") which hits the opponent and can be initiated from several of her moves, making her one of the most deceptive opponents in the entire game.
* CounterAttack: A very big part of what makes her such an aggravating FinalBoss in ''Tag 2''.
* CreepyCrows: On her trousers in ''Tag 2''; one of many indicators of Jun's much darker characterization in that game. Such crows now also appear during her Heat Attacks in ''8'', these ones being visibly ''three-legged''.
* DarkerAndEdgier: Her design and persona for ''Tag 2''. [[spoiler: Taken to its logical conclusion, with the reveal of "Unknown".]]
** Defeating Ogre in Arcade mode reveals a cutscene where he gets blinded by a flash of light before Jun appears, wearing a really dark and angry scowl, furious that he threatened her son. [[spoiler: Beat her and purple ooze covers her body, and she becomes Unknown, looking up with a slight smirk.]] The intro also has Lili spying on her, to which she reacts violently.
** Her intro quote in ''Tag 2'' is a rather imposing "You dare defy fate?", which makes her sound a ''lot'' like her husband Kazuya. Another has her commenting, "So, you survived."[[note]]she says this to her ''Tekken 2'' contemporaries, or their successors (like King II, Armor King II, Kuma II, Roger Jr.)[[/note]], like she's upset you did. [[DemonicPossession Somebody call an exorcist.]]

%%* {{Determinator}}: Her tenacity to save her son from Ogre and Kazuya from Devil, she failed with the latter, within the next 7 years in Tekken 8 by saving Jin and Kazuya from their self-destruction, which succeeds as they not only lose their Devil Genes but also saving the latter as she promised in the second game series.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Check out her ''Tag 2'' win pose if she is paired with Devil Jin. [[https://youtu.be/PptNZl8TCuA?t=115 Here]]. [[IronicEcho Fear the wrath of Pureness]], indeed.

* {{Fanservice}}: One of her character panels in ''Tag 2'' shows her without pants.
* FinalBoss: In ''Tag 2''. Defeat her once and she bathes her peaceful garden in black goop and turns into Unknown to finish the battle.
* {{Foil}}: [[spoiler:Obviously to her alter ego, Unknown.]] But also to her niece, Asuka. While Asuka is the aggressive type, she has the traditional Aikido stance. On the other hand, Jun is a MartialPacifist, and her fighting stance is much less aggressive than Asuka's. And this doesn't get into moveset divergence. Even their temperaments are downright opposite; while both are very well-intentioned and on the side of good, Asuka is a fight-happy {{Tomboy}} while her aunt is a graceful YamatoNadeshiko.

* GoodIsNotSoft: Portrayed as the very definition of pure. Threaten her son however and she will kill you, or kill herself trying to kill you. Those moves aren't just for show. [[spoiler:Best her in any one round of the final fight of ''Tag 2'' and she'll go OneWingedAngel]].
* GoodIsNotNice: The animated film portrays her as something of a grump, wanting to help others but coming across as not being good with people. ''Tag 2'' also portrays her such, and her character redesign is darker. She reacts to Lili spying on her by telekinetically shattering her binoculars. [[spoiler: And she is the final boss of the game; beat her in the first round and she turns into [[OneWingedAngel Unknown.]]]]

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Her custom team with Unknown is ''[=CounterLady=]''. Jun (well, as played by the AI at least) is an utterly mad counterattack expert.

* MamaBear:
** She fought Devil while pregnant with Jin to stop it from possessing him. Later, she duels Ogre and manages to buy time for Jin to escape by selflessly performing a HeroicSacrifice.
** In ''Tag'', [[spoiler:she turns into Unknown, and then goes on to fight Ogre ''again'' to save Jin's life]].

%%zce* MissingMom: To Jin.

* NotSoAboveItAll:
** Despite her almost mystical personality and portrayal in ''Tag 2'', she can still end a match by shoving cake in her opponent's face or lose a match by getting slapped on her butt by P. Jack.
** While consistently portrayed as pure, chaste and demure, Jun coyly [[GrinOfAudacity smirks]] when Kazuya compliments her for being strong in his Character Ending, since her strength is what made Kazuya fall in love with her in the first place.

* OlderThanTheyLook: In ''Tag'' and ''Tag 2'', in which she appears no older than she does in ''Tekken 2''. It's not noticeable in ''Tag'' since the rest of the ''Tekken 2'' cast also do not change, but becomes glaring in ''Tag 2'' (in which the others do age up), thus having the side effect of making her look ''younger'' than her son, Jin, whom she had when she was 22, though that game is non-canonical and all characters appear in their latest canonical appearance. Even with her canonical return in ''8'', where the passage of time would put her at around 43, she ''still'' looks somewhat younger than her son despite showing also signs of having aged. [[spoiler: This is revealed to be due to the spiritual trance she had been locked in for 7 years. Due to the Kazama clan's spiritual powers healing her after her battle with Ogre, she hasn't aged a day since then, and as such appears to be in her mid-30s despite being chronologically 43.]]
* OutOfCharacterMoment: In Lars's ending in ''Tag 2'' he dreams of having dinner with Jun, Asuka, Heihachi, Kazuya and Jin. Jun’s serious demeanor drops, and she enthusiastically serves dinner for the entire family in a very maternal, jolly manner. Alas it's AllJustADream.
* ParasolParachute: Her ''Tag 2'' item move allows her to glide into the stage using an umbrella a la ''Film/MaryPoppins''. [[AwesomeButImpractical Unfortunately, she's also vulnerable the whole time]], which is why she usually glides towards her opponent's back.
* PaintedOnPants: Her default ''Tag 2'' outfit's pants [[https://i.imgur.com/486Dosc.jpg don't leave much to the imagination]]. Her ''Ecological'' outfit from the same game, which is a callback to ''Tekken 2'', also has black hotpants, with the same outfit appearing in ''Tekken 8'' as the ''TK2 Style''.

%%(zce)* BeachEpisode: The ''Tekken 2'' game manual depicts this.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Her pure-hearted nature doesn't change the fact that she is an absolute beast of a fighter with MamaBear qualities.

%%(zce - what did he do in 6?)* WhatTheHellHero: If paired up with her son Jin in ''Tag 2'', she's seemingly aware of what Jin had done in ''6'', and isn't happy about it.

* DependingOnTheWriter: Her characterization in ''Tag 2'' and her eventual canon return in ''8'' have noticeable differences. While both look rather mysterious, ''Tag 2'' Jun is DarkerAndEdgier, saying things like "You dare defy fate?" and smiling in a manner that can be interpreted as malicious. In ''8'' she's closer to the characterization implied in earlier games, where she's optmistic and heroic, healing a defeated opponent if she wins a fight, and fully believing she can save Kazuya and Jin. Her feelings towards Jin and especially Kazuya differ in both games. In ''Tag 2'' she has a special intro with Jin where she sadly wonders if he forgot her teachings, although their special win pose still shows her smiling at him. In ''8'', she says she came to stop Jin, but she doesn't sound angry or sad while saying it. With Kazuya however, back in ''Tag 1'' he was on the list of characters Jun likes, while in ''Tag 2'' she's neutral towards him, they don't share a special intro in the same game, and their special win pose shows Jun looking at Kazuya sadly. In ''8'' she's still hopeful about saving him. Most of these differences can be chalked up the fact that Jun in ''Tag 2'' is Unknown, and the transformation appears willing on her part. In ''8'', the only Unknown influence (so far) is in Jun's moveset, where she adapted Unknown's moves but with the spikes being replaced with light energy.

* TookALevelInBadass: In her first appearance she is certainly effective, however when the story was expanded for home consoles it turns out she is linked to [[BigGood Angel.]] ''3'' makes her beating Devil official, and her son Jin she personally trained becomes TheHero. Then it's confirmed that [[spoiler:Unknown is her SuperpoweredEvilSide]]. Her status of killed by Ogre is later made ambiguous, with it being eventually confirmed that she managed to barely ''defeat'' Ogre in ''8'', albeit she's imprisoned in the spirit realm as a result. In ''8'', she's also gained even more levels of badass, and can summon literal light to enhance her combat abilities, [[spoiler:without even turning into Unknown.]]

* {{Transflormation}}: [[spoiler:In ''8'', her fight against Ogre mentally and physically exhausted her so much that she sought refuge at the Kazama's sacred grove, where her body became part of a tree while she recuperated at the spiritual world. Following Jin's victory over Kazuya, however, Jun emerges from her slumber to find Kazuya.]]
* WhatTheHellHero: If paired up with her son Jin in ''Tag 2'', she's seemingly aware of what Jin had done in ''6'', and isn't happy about it.

* WorthyOpponent: Ogre seems to view her as one in ''Bloodline'', if his little smile and stance is any indication after Jun stands her ground. The fact she's the only character who explicitly ''survived'' an encounter with him...
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: We can accept Kazama style self defense martial arts incorporating wrestling/MMA-style arm bars, but Wrestling/ChrisBenoit's german suplexes? Only in ''2'' and ''Tag 1'', though; Jun seems to have lost those moves in ''Tag 2''.

* DependingOnTheWriter: Her characterization in ''Tag 2'' and her eventual canon return in ''8'' have noticeable differences. While both look rather mysterious, ''Tag 2'' Jun is DarkerAndEdgier, saying things like "You dare defy fate?" and smiling in a manner that can be interpreted as malicious. In ''8'' she's closer to the characterization implied in earlier games, where she's optmistic and heroic, healing a defeated opponent if she wins a fight, and fully believing she can save Kazuya and Jin. Her feelings towards Jin and especially Kazuya differ in both games. In ''Tag 2'' she has a special intro with Jin where she sadly wonders if he forgot her teachings, although their special win pose still shows her smiling at him. In ''8'', she says she came to stop Jin, but she doesn't sound angry or sad while saying it. With Kazuya however, back in ''Tag 1'' he was on the list of characters Jun likes, while in ''Tag 2'' she's neutral towards him, they don't share a special intro in the same game, and their special win pose shows Jun looking at Kazuya sadly. In ''8'' she's still hopeful about saving him. Most of these differences however can be chalked up the fact that Jun in ''Tag 2'' is Unknown, and the transformation appears willing on her part. In ''8'', the only Unknown influence (so far) is in Jun's moveset, where she adapted Unknown's moves but with the spikes being replaced with light energy.

* FriendToAllLivingThings: Best seen in her ending in ''2''. She's even a member of the WWWC, a wildlife protection organization. Her pre-battle intro against Kuma and Panda in ''8'' has her express reluctance to fight them, but feels she has to get them to settle down, and her intro versus Paul has her disapprove of his rivalry with Kuma.

* GoodIsNotNice: The animated film portrays her as something of a grump, wanting to help others but coming across as not being good with people. ''Tag 2'' also has her shaping up to be this, albeit it's non-canon. Her character redesign is darker. She reacts to Lili spying on her by telekinetically shattering her binoculars. [[spoiler: And she is the final boss of the game; beat her in the first round and she turns into [[OneWingedAngel Unknown.]]]]

* HealThyself: Her Heat bonus for the originally CastFromHitPoints Kazama's Power moves.
* HeroicSacrifice: It's believed that she enacted one of the YouShallNotPass variety against Ogre, but nothing has yet to be confirmed. ''Bloodline'' depicts it in her performing a TakingYouWithMe move against Ogre in the exploding Kazamas' household to ensure both of them die while Jin survives, though Ogre managed to teleport away. As of her reveal in ''8'', it's all but confirmed she managed to survive, but not how [[spoiler: until her secret side-story reveals that it's because she ended up in a 7-year long coma due to having exhausted herself defeating Ogre, being healed by the sacred Kazama grounds all the while]].
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: She felt attracted to Kazuya because of the [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys darkness in him]]--''strike one''. Jun then tells Jin, her son, that if anything happens to her to find [[BigBad Heihachi,]] ''strike two''. The second Tag game is (presumably) current and up to date storyline despite being non-canonical. One of Jun's Tag endings shows she still holds a candle for Kazuya even given what a bastard he's been (and when a positive Tag ending is tried with him he ignores her and in his final ending [[spoiler:after beating her/Unknown he flat out absorbs her without even any tinge of remorse (not even MadLove) and follows up with an EvilLaugh]]), ''strike three''! Harada [[https://twitter.com/Harada_TEKKEN/status/305198755303542785 said that]] this is because Jun wants to save Kazuya from the darkness within him, [[{{Determinator}} regardless of how many times she failed, and even that still lingers after her "death"]]. Even after she returns in ''8'', her facial expression when reuniting with Kazuya implies that she still holds a flame for him (although Kazuya at least bothers to be surprised at her survival). [[spoiler:Her tenacity finally pays off in the end, and she is able to find Kazuya and prepare to save him.]]
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: Jun is defined with her purity and radiates with pure light and kindness. Even when Kazuya has done a lot of evil actions that makes him BeyondRedemption, Jun's pure intention to save him from darkness remains uncorrupted from those evil actions, she still sees potential in saving Kazuya.

* LadyOfWar: Perhaps the finest example in the series. She fights with an Aikido-like mixed style and retains an air of grace in her fighting. A way to contrast with Asuka. She doesn't playfully dance around like Lili either; Jun is graceful and precise but no-nonsense.

* LightIsGood: Her clothing is predominately light-colored. Most of the artwork from ''Tag'' depict Jun clad in an elegant white dress... which has become an AscendedMeme. Her customization in ''Tag 2'' is the famous white dress. In ''8'', she's back to being the pure lady with good intentions and her title is the unambiguously good "Light of Hope", and she's using a light-based variant of Unknown's attacks.

** She fought Devil while pregnant with Jin to stop it from possessing him. Later, she dueled Ogre and managed to buy time for Jin to escape. [[spoiler:She defeated Ogre but was so mentally and physically exhausted that she entered a dormant state for seven years.]]
** In ''Tag'', [[spoiler:she turned into Unknown, and then goes on to fight Ogre ''again'' to save Jin's life]].

* MistakenDeathConfirmation: Ever since ''Tekken 3'' came out, and what appeared to be a long-haired person's head was seen in Ogre's hand, and Jun vanished entirely, people assumed Ogre ''defeated'' Jun, and she was one of those killed during his rampage. Harada however ''constantly'' declared her "missing", with only Jin claiming she'd died. When ''Tekken 8'' was announced, Jun returned to prominence with confirmation she barely defeated Ogre, with characters confirming, unlike Kazumi's ghost in ''7'', she's '''''alive'''''.[[spoiler: She just spent several years ''practically'' dead to the world.]]

** In ''Anime/TekkenTheMotionPicture'', she plays this role for Kazuya, successfully convincing him to not give in to hatred and spare Heihachi. This can also be a downplayed case in the main game, which is also PlayedForDrama and deconstructed. Jun successfully softens Kazuya in ''2'', but this softening causes him to lose concentration in the fight against Heihachi, leading to his defeat and first death. When he returns in ''4'', Jun is practically dead to the world [[spoiler:(in truth, she falls into a coma in the spiritual realm of the Kazama)]]. Without Jun reeling him in, nothing holds Kazuya back from following his evilest aspirations and desires, becoming the vile demon that dominates his characterization post-revival.
* MoralityPet: As revealed in ''8'', Jun continues to be this for Kazuya, even at his worst.
** He expresses genuine surprise if they meet in battle. During this whole battle, Kazuya will actively avoid doing demeaning actions like kicking her when she's down if she is defeated with his Rage Art. He also drives her away without demeaning her, solely telling her that he's BeyondRedemption, thus [[RedemptionRejection not worth saving.]]
** In his Character Episode ending, it turns out that he'll still speak of her so highly by his own standards while viewing everyone else lowly, since he believes that she is "strong". He still keeps a photo of Jun in his office.
* MumLooksLikeASister: Despite 20 years passing between her appearances in titles, Jun doesn't seem to have aged at all, looking the same age as her son Jin and not much older than ''Asuka''.[[spoiler: Admittedly, when you spend nearly a decade in a healing coma, and have only just ''left'' the spirit realm, not getting any older is understandable...]]

* NeverFoundTheBody: Jin thought that she was dead for the longest time. However, the truth is, Jin just never found her remnants and thought Ogre must have killed her (and the fanbase thought the object held by Ogre in the opening movie of ''3'' was Jun's head). It turns out that Jun is alive and returns in ''8''. [[spoiler: Her ''body'' per se, was in the spirit realm for the entire time between Tekken 3 and Tekken 8.]]
* NiceGirl: Defined by her purity, Jun is a peaceful, compassionate, and spiritual woman overall. She still seeks to guide Kazuya to the light path after all that happened during her absence, wanting to save both him and her son Jin, and shows concern for her defeated opponent to apologize and heal them.

** Despite her almost mystical personality and specific portrayal in ''Tag 2'' she can still end a match by shoving cake on her opponent's face or lose a match by getting slapped on her butt by P. Jack. She also just like all the other females who are much more bubbly and less important girls than her gets a swimsuit.
** While consistently portrayed as pure and demure, Jun subtly [[GrinOfAudacity smirks]] when Kazuya compliments her for being strong in his Character Ending, as if boasting that she is indeed strong. After all, her strength was what made Kazuya fall in love with her in the first place.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Fighting off Devil and Ogre. Without these actions, Jin would not be alive. [[spoiler: Admittedly, the latter caused her to miss several '''''years''''' entirely, but she still barely defeated Ogre.]]
* OlderThanTheyLook: In ''Tag'' and ''Tag 2'', in which she appears no older than she does in ''Tekken 2''. It's not noticeable in ''Tag'' since the rest of the ''Tekken 2'' cast also do not change, but becomes glaring in ''Tag 2'' (in which the others do age up), thus having the side effect of making her look ''younger'' than her son, Jin, whom she had when she was 22. Justified, since the game is non-canonical and all characters appear in their latest canonical appearance. Even with her canonical return in ''8'', where the passage of time would put her at around 43, she ''still'' looks somewhat younger than her son despite showing also signs of having aged. [[spoiler: This is revealed to be due to the spiritual trance she had been locked in for 7 years. Due to the Kazama clan's spiritual powers healing her after her battle with Ogre, she hasn't aged a day since then, and as such appears to be in her mid-30s despite being chronologically 43.]]
* OutOfCharacterMoment: In Lars's ending in ''Tag 2'' he dreams of having dinner with Jun. And Asuka. And Heihachi, Kazuya and Jin. Her serious demeanor drops, she enthusiastically serves dinner for the entire family and they are all rather funny. Alas it's AllJustADream. Considering that by default, Jun is already bonafide LadyOfWar, whose only chink in her otherwise impeccable niceness is that GoodIsNotSoft. And since Lars's dream is more or less making things LighterAndSofter... that's still in character for Jun, whereas she could afford in being nice and soft. So it becomes a question of whether her aloofness or becoming less serious is OOC for her.

* PaintedOnPants: Her default ''Tag 2'' outfit's pants [[https://i.imgur.com/486Dosc.jpg don't leave much to the imagination]] to what is under the seat of them. Her ''Ecological'' outfit from the same game, which is a callback to ''Tekken 2'', also has black hotpants, with the same outfit appearing in ''Tekken 8'' as the ''TK2 Style''.

* TheRedeemer: She made it her mission to save Kazuya from the darkness that engulfed him ever since her debut in ''2''. Unfortunately, Kazuya's defeat and first death by Heihachi put a halt on that, compounded with her encounter with Ogre and going missing for years. Once she resurfaced, she's trying to finish what she started, regardless of how low Kazuya has sunk into. In one of her general win-poses in ''8'' (meaning not specifically against any opponent), she affirms her resolve to save both Kazuya and Jin.
* ReligiousBruiser: She was portrayed as TheHero to [[BigGood Angel]], and they share the same ending in the first Tag game where they heal Jin and Kazuya.

* ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated: For over 2 decades, Jun was presumed dead. She ''finally'' returned as a playable character in ''Tekken 8'', explicitly confirmed to be alive and well by Harada. Even her gameplay trailer reaffirms that, yes, she is indeed alive, as Kazuya himself states as such in his interaction with her. [[spoiler: She banished herself from the world to heal up after fighting Ogre, and has only ''recently'' returned...]]

* SmallRoleBigImpact: Even before turning up alive in ''8'', she already had a significant role in the franchise as Kazuya's lover and Jin's mother despite only canonically appearing in ''2''. Jun then raised Jin in the TimeSkip in between the second and third game, and while she disappeared seemingly due to losing to Ogre, she still acts as a MoralityPet of sorts for her son, despite not being present anymore. Jin chose to carry on the Kazama family name to honor her.

* SpiritAdvisor: Her father actually appeared to her in ghost form, which helped her retrain her spiritual awareness and powers after living on the city for a long time. It's assumed that Jun herself acts as this for her son. This is '''strongly''' hinted at in Jin's ''4'' ending where a vision of her is enough to stop him from killing Heihachi. Also reprised in Devil Jin's ''Tag 2'' ending.

* TechnicalPacifist: Jun might like to avoid violence, and is an ApologeticAttacker who is willing to heal her defeated enemies, but if she can't she's a serious Mixed Martial Arts practitioner, one of the best fighters of the series, hero of the second game and taught her son well enough to become the main character of the series.
* TookALevelInBadass: In her first appearance she was certainly effective, however when the story was expanded for home consoles it turned out she was linked to [[BigGood Angel.]] ''3'' made her beating Devil official, and her son Jin she personally trained became TheHero. Then it's confirmed that [[spoiler:Unknown is her SuperpoweredEvilSide]]. Her status of killed by Ogre is later made ambiguous, with it being eventually confirmed that she managed to barely ''defeat'' Ogre in ''8'', albeit she's imprisoned in the spirit realm as a result. In ''8'', she's also gained even more levels of badass, where she can summon literal light to enhance her combat abilities, [[spoiler:without even turning into Unknown.]]

* AdaptationalBadass: ''Bloodline'' displays her faceoff with Ogre as an equal match held back by her need to protect Jin, as a further testament of her AscendedExtra status to display a glimpse into the ambiguity behind her death. [[spoiler:Averted as for ''8'', where it's revealed that Jun gets her own special side episode after beating the Story Mode of ''8'', revealing that she '''did''' beat Ogre, but only barely, and only because she lured Ogre to a sacred tree in Yakushima where the Kazama clan's spiritual powers are at their strongest. Afterward, however, she was left so exhausted that she fell into a coma for 7 years within that tree, trapped within the spiritual dimension where Jin ended up in the story proper to face the Devil within.]]

* AscendedExtra: Originally, though she served as TheHero of ''2'', she became a DisposableWoman to make way for her son Jin's motivation. Later it got changed into merely Jin's thoughts that Jun was killed, and she got more reveals that make her progressively more significant and badass (e.g. fighting off Ogre to survive[=/=]save her son, [[spoiler:the identity of Unknown]]) than she originally seems, before she finally canonically returns in ''8''.
* AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: ''Tag 2'' treats her as some form of mystical energy being in the Tag games. Meanwhile, the mainline games imply that she has become Jin's SpiritAdvisor. It isn't until ''8'' that it's confirmed she's alive. [[spoiler: She trapped herself in the spirit realm as part of luring Ogre away from Jin, and she was in a coma for over half a decade after that after defeating him.]]

* BeachEpisode: The ''Tekken 2'' game manual depicts this.
* BeatingADeadPlayer: An inversion. One of her win poses in ''8'' has her healing the defeated opponent.

* BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu: [[spoiler:What her fate against Ogre ultimately was. She lures him to the trees of Yakushima and barely defeats him using the spiritual power of said ground, but she's griveously injured and has to sleep inside the tree for 7 years.]]
* TheBusCameBack: After being missing from the story since ''2,'' with her most recent playable appearance being in the non-canon ''Tag 2'', Jun ''finally'' makes her return to the mainline series in ''8''. [[spoiler: She sealed herself into one of the trees of Yakushima to recover from her fight with Ogre...]]
* CameBackWrong: Her alleged death and resurrection in ''Tag 2'' is handled [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Buffy Summers style:]] compared to her earlier portrayals, she's more standoffish, confrontational, grumpier and has a distinct lack of warmth. Oh, and merged with a ComicBook/{{Venom}}-esque zombie goo that turns her into a friendlier, yet crazier version of herself. Fortunately, this is not canon.

* CharacterisationMarchesOn: Initially, Jun was portrayed as the purest of pure. However, as the series progressed, her mysteriousness was played up, and she became more aloof, to the point that in the DreamMatchGame that is ''Tag 2'', she accepts the fact that she ''is'' Unknown. However, when she finally, canonically returns in ''8'', she goes back to being PurityPersonified, though she retains an air of mystery to her.
* TheChosenOne: Jun is specifically given this title by her family. Her abilities were considered special among the Kazama, and (unlike Asuka) she is fully aware of them and adept at using them. These abilities are finally shown in full for her return in ''8'', having been foreshadowed in ''Tag 2'' with her Unknown form.

* CreepyCrows: On her trousers in ''Tag 2''; one of many indicators of Jun's much darker characterization in ''Tag 2''. Such crows now also appear during her Heat Attacks in ''8'', these ones being visibly ''three-legged''.
* DarkerAndEdgier: Where her design for ''Tag 2'' went with her. [[spoiler:Recently revealed to have been taken to its logical conclusion, with the reveal of "Junknown".]]
** Defeating Ogre in Arcade mode shows a cutscene where he -- who went after Jin and attacked and supposedly killed Jun -- gets blinded by a flash of light before the boss battle against Jun, and when she appears she's wearing a really dark and angry scowl. [[spoiler: Beat her and purple ooze covers her body, then she becomes Unknown and looks up with a slight smirk.]] The intro also has Lili spying on her, to which she reacts violently.

* DeathByAdaptation: In ''Bloodline'', Jun manages to get back up after being nearly killed by Ogre and fight him as an equal. In fact, she almost '''wins''' outright against Ogre, but has to pull a HeroicSacrifice by getting him into an armbar as the Kazamas' household is about to explode in order to [[TakingYouWithMe ensure both of them die]] while [[MamaBear Jin survives]]. Ogre is shown teleporting away before the explosion, while Jun is not seen again. [[spoiler:In Tekken 8, instead of fighting around the Kazama's household, she lures him into a trap in Yakushima and barely defeats him, but ends up having to imprison herself in the spirit realm for several years.]]
* DependingOnTheWriter:
** Her characterization in ''Tag 2'' and her eventual canon return in ''8'' have noticeable differences. While both look rather mysterious, ''Tag 2'' Jun is DarkerAndEdgier, saying things like "You dare defy fate?" and doing a smile afterwards that can be interpreted as malicious. In ''8'' she's closer to the characterization implied in earlier games, where she's optmistic and heroic, healing a defeated opponent if she wins a fight, and fully believing she can save Kazuya and Jin.
** As a consequence, her feelings towards Jin and specially Kazuya differ in both games. In ''Tag 2'' she has a special intro with Jin where she sadly wonders if he forgot her teachings, although their special win pose still shows her smiling at him. In ''8'', the worst it gets is an intro where she says she came to stop Jin, but she doesn't sound angry or sad while saying it. With Kazuya however, back in ''Tag 1'' he was on the list of characters Jun likes, while in ''Tag 2'' she's neutral towards him, they don't share a special intro in the same game, and their special win pose shows Jun looking sad towards Kazuya. In ''8'' she's still hopeful about saving him.
** Most of these differences however can be [[JustifiedTrope justified]]. Jun in ''Tag 2'' is Unknown, and the transformation even looks willing. In ''8'', the only Unknown influence (so far) is in Jun's moveset, where she adapted Unknown's moves but with the spikes being replaced with light energy. So with ''8'' not having anything corrupting her, it makes sense their personalities differ so much.

* GoodIsNotNice: The animated film portrayed her as something of a grump, wanting to help others but coming across as not being good with people. ''Tag 2'' also has her shaping up to be this, albeit it's non-canon. Her character redesign is darker. She reacts to Lili spying on her by telekinetically shattering her binoculars. [[spoiler: And she is the final boss of the game; beat her in the first round and she turns into [[OneWingedAngel Unknown.]]]]
