== Introduction ==
Introduced in the videogame Tekken 5, Asuka Kazama is more famously known as the cousin of the series' protagonist, Jin Kazama.
Before releasing the game in the Arcades, franchise developer Namco released images of three new characters as part of their Tekken 5 promotions back in 2004. Amongst the new characters were Asuka, a Chinese kenpo-user named Feng Wei and a mysterious Black man dressed in ninja gear named Raven. Immediately afterward, speculation began to spread about Asuka's role in the story and her possible relation to Jin Kazama.
Asuka is surprisingly brash and somewhat arrogant. Though her profile states that she breaks up fights regularly ("by knockout", as added in the game's prologue), she seems to have no qualms about fighting herself and even seemingly revels in it. In her story mode, after defeating her target (Feng Wei), she decides to remain at the tournament in order to "have fun". Her pre- and post-match quotes also demonstrate her confidence.
It is also worth noting that Asuka speaks with a very heavy Kansai Japanese dialect (Kansai is a region of western Japan encompassing the cities of Kyoto, Osaka, and Kobe).
One awkward bit of fan speculation addresses a potential romantic relationship between Jin and Asuka Kazama, which several fans have formulated after viewing the circumstances of the two cousins' first encounter. However, there is little to suggest that such a pairing may actually occur, despite the conditions of their meeting often often used as a setup for many romantic couples in several popular forms of Japanese media.

Ever since she was a child, Asuka had received training in Kazama Style Traditional Martial Arts from her father. Born with a strong sense of justice, Asuka was well known around Osaka for breaking up fights in the neighborhood.
Upon returning home one day, Asuka found pupils of her father had been roughed up. She learned from her father's pupils that an unknown [[Feng Wei|Chinese man]] showed up at the dojo, severly beat them and sent her father to the hospital.
Several days later, an [[Lei_Wulong|interpol detective]] from Hong Kong came to investigate the incident, mentioning that the suspect is most likely planning to enter the King of Iron Fist Tournament. Upon hearing this, Asuka decides that she too will enter the tournament.
