Tekken's central family disaster, permanently powered by spite and impossible wavedashes.
Kazuya is iconic because Tekken treats dynastic hatred like a renewable energy source. He is cold, vicious, and framed with enough mechanical swagger that even people losing to him can understand the appeal.
Example
The Mishima bloodline stays relevant because Kazuya always feels like the most efficient embodiment of its poison.
Why it matters
Kazuya matters because long-running fighting games thrive on family conflict that feels both operatic and technical.
