Wishing to raise her son alone, Jun disappeared into a remote mountain location, where she raised Jin and trained him in her Kazama-style self-defense fighting style.
After many years, Jun sensed the approaching of a great evil (Ogre) and told Jin about his origins and that if anything happened to her, that he should seek his grandfather,Heihachi Mishima. Jun's words proved to be prophetic, four days later on Jin's 15th birthday, Jun was attacked by Ogre. Hours after the chaos, Jin awoke amongst rubble and searched for his mother, but he could not find her anywhere. Jin swore revenge. Jin was then taken in by his grandfather, Heihachi Mishima, who began to train him in Mishima-Based Karate.
