[edit] Introduction
Kunimitsu is a character from the Tekken series, making her only canonical appearances in Tekken and Tekken 2, and her last and non-canonical appearance in Tekken Tag Tournament. It is unknown what happens of Kunimitsu after Tekken 2, although some speculate that she was killed by Yoshimitsu towards the end of the second tournament. Ogre / True Ogre has some of her moves in Tekken 3 and Tekken Tag Tournament. This implies that she was attacked by Ogre.
[edit] Trivia
- Kunimitsu is rumoured to appear in the PS3 Tekken game, Tekken 6. This is due to many reasons. There are only two more un-named characters, Yoshimitsu's fighting style is changing, and the fact that she was one of the few characters that wasn't in or represented in Tekken 5 and Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection. This is only a RUMOUR.
- Kunimitsu was thought to be a male in Tekken, as her voice was exactly the same as Yoshimitsu's. In Tekken 2, she's revealed to be female.
- Kunimitsu's name written in kanji is "国光." Separately, the kanji mean "country" (国) and "light" (光). However, in everyday Japanese, 国光 (read kokkou), means "national glory".
- In the first Tekken, Kunimitsu wielded two daggers or two sickles, depending on her outfit, but was not able to attack with them. In later installments, she only wielded a single dagger (regardless of outfit), but was able to use it in several Unblockables.
[edit] Story
Kunimitsu was a member of the Manjito crime syndicate. But when she stole for her own self-interest, she was expelled by the leader, Yoshimitsu. Even after that, she continued to steal without reforming. Her reason for entering the tournament is to plunder the treasure that Heihachi Mishima stole from the Native Americans.
[edit] Version 1
Kunimitsu was suspected of stealing the treasure of Michelle Chang's tribe under the employment of Kazuya Mishima in the first tournament. Instead, she was casted out of the Manji Clan for stealing for herself.
Kunimitsu now wants to obtain Yoshimitsu's powerful sword for her own.
[edit] Version 2
The sword of good fortune and light is the sword which generation after generation is succeeded in the Manji party. It is assumed the air of the partner is shut off, when (there is a rule that the leader of the next generation cuts the leader of previous generation with this sword). Kunimitsu participates in the tournament in order to take the sword.
[edit] Ending Animation "The Sword"
Kunimitsu is in a forest holding Yoshimitsu's sword. Kunimitsu looks at her face's reflection on the sword. She decides to test the sword by slicing a stone in two with it. Kunimitsu successfully does this and is shown as the sliced stone falls to the ground.
