Tekken: История Йошимитсу
Сегодня мы узнаем, кто же такой Йошимитсу на самом деле? Что скрывается за маской не то робота, не то человека? Почему он дружит с доктором Босконовичем и ненавидит Брайана Фьюри?
Недавно я уже писал о серии Tekken, в частности о 10 его фактах, о которых вы, скорее всего, не знали. Сегодня речь пойдёт о бессменном участнике турнира «Стального Кулака», Йошимитсу.
Согласно истории первой части серии, Йошимитсу является главой группы воров «Мандзи». Эти ребята являлись своеобразными японскими «робингудами», то есть воровали лишь у тех людей, кто нажил свои состояния нечестным путём. Как и положено настояшим робингудам, награбленные деньги и добро «Мандзи» возвращали бедным людям. В первой части Йошимитсу принял участие в турнире лишь для того, чтобы другие члены группировки «Мандзи» имели возможность похитить призовые деньги турнира. Финансировала турнир небезызвестная компания «Мишима Зайбатсу», честность и прозрачность которой явно стоит под сомнением — всё-таки все мы знаем насколько «добродушен» Хейхачи Мишима.
Несколько слов о бессменном оружии Йошимитсу — его катане. В Tekken 2, в истории персонажа Кунимитсу, также члена группировки «Мандзи», упоминается, что меч лидера клана «Мандзи» передаётся от лидера к лидеру. Причём процедура передачи этого символа власти довольно непростая — предыдущий лидер клана должен принести себя в жертву и в ходе этого ритуала меч поглощает его силу и мастерство. Затем меч передаётся новому лидеру «Мандзи».
Но вернёмся к событиям первой части игры. В ходе турнира Йошимитсу узнаёт о борце сумо по имени Ганрю, а точнее о том, что тот, несмотря на почётный ранг «Йокодзуна», участвует в теневых схемах, получая откаты за свои бои. Естественно, как настоящий японский Робин Гуд, Йошимитсу разозлился на Ганрю за такое неуважение к славной борьбе сумо и в ходе турнира знатно навалял ему, попутно украв его нечестно нажитое добро. Ближе к концу турнира Йошимитсу проникает в лабораторию доктора Босконовича. Сперва коротко о самом докторе:
Доктор Джепетто Босконович (В играх часто называется как Доктор Б.) является выходцем из СССР. Ну да, мы же все помним славное советское имя Джепетто. Ну что поделать, японцы такие японцы. Так вот, до событий второй части Tekken наш добрый доктор оказался в плену у уже знакомой нам «Мишима Зайбатсу». Похитил его сын Хейхачи, Казуя Мишима. Он же заставил доктора Босконовича проводить генетические исследования, по большей части касающиеся боевых искусств. Теперь, представляя себе, кто такой доктор Босконович, вернёмся вновь к Йошимитсу и событиям первой части игры.
Проникнув в лабораторию доктора Босконовича, Йошимитсу попытался выкрасть оттуда устройство вечной энергии, которое изобрёл Джепетто. Попытка не увенчалась успехом и Йошимитсу лишился руки во время побега. Однако доктор, будучи добрым человеком, помогает Йошимитсу. Он залечивает его травмы и имплантирует ему механический протез руки. Йошимитсу, будучи человеком чести, обещает доктору помощь всегда, когда он будет в ней нуждаться. И потому, когда Йошимитсу узнал, что доброго доктора похитила «Мишима Зайбатсу», он незамедлительно поспешил ему на помощь. Таким образом Йошимитсу и принял участие во втором турнире Стального Кулака и мы плавно походим к событиям Tekken 2.
Найдя доктора, Йошимитсу спас его, но узнал, что тот страдает от серьёзной болезни. Чтобы вылечиться самому, а так же помочь своей дочери Алисе, которая неожиданно скончалась, доктор построил специальную криогенную машину. Вполне вероятно, что эксперименты с этой машиной и стали причиной его болезни. Босконович рассказал Йошимитсу, что единственный способ помочь ему — достать кровь бога борьбы и разрушений Огра. Тот как раз недавно пробудился ото сна — удачное совпадение, правда? Чтобы добыть эту самую кровь, Йошимитсу принимает участие в третьем турнире «Стального Кулака».
В третьем турнире Йошимитсу, само собой, пришлось очень несладко. Доктор Эйбл — соперник доктора Босконовича на поприще создания киборгов — послал на турнир Брайана Фьюри. Фьюри был на тот момент полутрупом-полукиборгом, в целом — практически зомби. Доктор Эйбл послал его на турнир с одной-единственной целью — найти и захватить доктора Босконовича, чтобы использовать его наработки. Посколько доктор Босконович являлся на тот момент уже добрым другом Йошимитсу, наш ниндзя не мог допустить такого поворота событий. После неудавшейся охоты Брайана на Йошимитсу, последнему удаётся сбежать. После того, как Джин Казама побеждает Огра в битве, Йошимитсу удаётся собрать останки бога разрушений и доставить их к доктору Босконовичу.
После событий третьей части игры, Йошимитсу, как лидер клана «Мандзи» продолжает помогать всем нуждающимся, бедным, политическим беженцам и прочим. Но, к сожалению, Йошимитсу не был уверен по поводу будущего клана. Хоть они пока и держались, «Мандзи» постоянно нехватало денег и людей. Чтобы исправить положение, Йошимитсу задумался об объединении клана «Мандзи» и компании «Мишима Зайбатсу». По законам компании, тот, кто победит в бою прежнего владельца компании, стоновится её новым полноправным хозяином. Для этого Йошимитсу требовалось победить нынешнего владельца корпорации — Хейхачи Мишиму.
К сожалению, план не удался. В конце турнира Йошимитсу ворвался в хранилище «Мишима Зайбатсу», чтобы обокрасть его. В процессе кражи, Йошимитсу обнаружил уже знакомого нам Брайана Фьюри без сознания. Сжалившись над поверженным соперником, Йошимитсу забирает его к доктору Босконовичу, чтобы тот подлечил беднягу. Как вы, думаю, догадываетесь, ничем хорошим это не кончилось.
Через месяц после того, как Йошимитсу доставил Брайана в лабораторию доктора Босконовича, ему пришёл сигнал СОС из лаборатории доктора. Немедленно направившись в лабораторию, Йошимитсу обнаружил там лишь руины, усыпанные трупами членов клана «Мандзи». Добравшись до самого нижнего уровня лаборатории, Йошимитсу отыскал доктора Босконовича. Оказалось, что доктор предложил Брайану создать ему новое тело, так как его старое функционировало из рук вон плохо. Заодно Босконович вживил ему свой вечный генератор энергии. В итоге Брайан в припадке ярости уничтожил почти всех членов клана «Мандзи» и сильно ранил доктора Босконовича. Узнав это Йошимитсу приходит в ярость и отправляется на пятый турнир «Стального Кулака», чтобы отыскать там Брайана и заставить его ответить за свои поступки.
Такова история бойца Йошимитсу, лидера клана «Мандзи». По сей день доподлинно неизвестно, является ли «Йошимитсу» именем, или же это титул, который получает каждый лидер клана. Однако, мы проследили историю того Йошимитсу, которого знаем и любим именно мы — человека чести, японского Робин Гуда и друга доброго доктора Босконовича.

Version 1:
As head of the Manji Clan, Yoshimitsu entered the King of Iron Fist Tournament as a distraction, to allow the Manji to steal the tournament’s funds unobserved. Whilst participating, Yoshimitsu encountered Ganryu, a corrupt sumo wrestler. Contemptuous of Ganryu’s disrespect for the sumo code, Yoshimitsu stole Ganryu’s ill-gotten gains and gave it to the poor.
Version 2:
Yoshimitsu is the leader of the international thieves guild known as the Manji Party, a chivalrous robbing bunch that only robs from those profiting from unjust acts, and later gives what they pillage to those less fortunate. Using himself as a decoy, Yoshimitsu participates in the tournament so that his subordinates can steal the tournament’s funds. [4]
Version 3 (Manual, European version):
An automation in the form of a ninja swordmaster, nobody knows where Yoshimitsu comes from or why he has entered the tournament. He has been linked with a notorious syndicate of thieves however. [5]
Yoshimitsu Tekken Ending
Ending Description, «Money Money»
Yoshimitsu and some other Manji clan members ride through a village on horseback, while the villagers look on. As he rides past, Yoshimitsu opens a box and Ganryu’s ill-gotten gains spill out of it. Marshall Law opens his mouth wide, while Marshall’s wife and a young Forest Law looks at the falling money happily. Yoshimitsu turns to look back, before he and his Manji Clan members are shown riding into the distance. The phrase «The End» is then shown in white letters on a black screen.
Tekken 2

The leader of the ‘Manji Group’, a group of notorious thieves. The scientist named Vasconovitch [sic.] who once saved his life, has been abducted by Kazuya. Yoshimitsu will stop at nothing to rescue Vasconovitch. [6] To do so, he has entered the tournament. [7]
Version 2
Yoshimitsu is the leader of the international thieves guild known as the Manji Party. With a perpetual engine powering his artificial arm, and his katana at his side, he’s an expert of Manji Jujutsu.
The scientist who developed Jack-2 is the same scientist who developed Yoshimitsu’s perpetually powered artificial arm, Dr. Bosconovitch.
Some time ago, Yoshimitsu’s sword arm was completely severed during a botched raid when he tried to steal the secrets of the perpetual engine from the laboratory where it was kept. The very same doctor who had developed the technology he sought to steal saved his life, and attached the perpetually powered artificial arm to the Manji leader.
Yoshimitsu, who had safely escaped, has entered the tournament to rescue Dr. Bosconovitch, a man to whom he owes his very life, from his captor, Kazuya Mishima. [8] [1]
Version 3
Yoshimitsu learned that the scientist Dr. Bosсonovitch, who once saved his life, had been abducted by Kazuya Mishima. To rescue Bosсonovitch, he entered the King of Iron Fist Tournament 2.
Ending Description, «The Rescue»
A white helicopter is shown flying away. Yoshimitsu looks up at it, then jumps onto the helicopter and breaks the windshield, entering the cockpit. Yoshimitsu grabs Dr. Bosсonovitch and jumps out of the helicopter. Yoshimitsu uses his prosthetic arm and his sword like a propellor, gliding them both to safety. The camera then focuses on Yoshimitsu as the helicopter explodes in the background.
Tekken 3
Version 1
Yoshimitsu is the leader of the Manji Clan, a notorious gang of Robin Hood-like thieves. He entered the Tournament upon learning that his friend, Dr. Bosconovitch, needs Ogre’s blood to live. Yoshimitsu now fights to save the life of the man who once saved him.
Version 2
Lending a helping hand. Dr. Bosconovitch created the Cold Sleep machine during his experiments in search of eternal life. The technology, still unproven, was used to preserve his young daughter, who suddenly passed away. Yoshimitsu raised research funds, and as the leader of the Manji party, helped the poor and disadvantaged.
Yoshimitsu visited Dr. Bosconovitch when he learned of the many martial artist disappearances. Yoshimitsu was surprised to find Bosconovitch suffering from a mysterious pathological organism. It’s believed to have been contracted during lab experiments while making the Cold Sleep machine.
Like some weird sci-fi story, Dr. Bosconovitch claims he needs blood from Ogre to live. Indebted to Bosconovitch for saving his life, Yoshimitsu enters the tournament to help an old friend. [9]
Ending Description, «Ogre’s Blood»
A bubbling green substance is shown in a jar labeled «Ogre’s Blood». Yoshimitsu is shown looking at a rat in a cage. Next, it is revealed that Dr. Bosсonovitch is beside him. They are apparently testing Ogre’s blood on the rat. As the rat starts to drink it, Yoshimitsu and Doctor Bosсonovitch turn their heads and look at each other, before turning back to the rat drinking Ogre’s blood. The rat turns to face the screen as dramatic music starts playing. Yoshimitsu is then shown running out of the building, holding Dr. Bosсonovitch under one of his arms. The rat, now gigantic, bursts through the building.
Tekken 4
As the leader of the Manji Party, Yoshimitsu dedicated himself to providing food, medical assistance, and shelter to the ever-increasing number of political refugees around the world. Unfortunately, with a constant lack of necessary funding and manpower, Yoshimitsu was unsure about the future of his organization.
When Yoshimitsu heard about The King of Iron Fist Tournament 4, he envisioned a union between the Manji Party and the Mishima Zaibatsu. With this dream in mind, Yoshimitsu decides to enter the Tournament immediately. He must defeat Heihachi Mishima at any cost.
Ending Description
Yoshimitsu is shown walking up to Heihachi Mishima, who is surrounded by a bunch of men in suits in the Mishima Manor. Heihachi refuses to hand over his company to the Manji, and prepares to have Yoshimitsu killed. Before he can, he is interrupted with the news that the Manji have airlifted the vault, Yoshimitsu having anticipated Heihachi’s actions. Heihachi’s men attack Yoshimitsu, but he escapes, flying through the roof.
Tekken 5
Tekken 5- Yoshimitsu Interludes
Prologue Text:
Yoshimitsu. A ninja helping the poor. While breaking into the Mishima Zaibatsu’s vault, he found an injured Bryan Fury and helped him escape. A month later when Yoshimitsu visits Dr. Bosсonovitch ‘s lab, he finds his comrades dead. This was Bryan’s thanks. «He shall pay for what he has done,» says Yoshimitsu. Learning Bryan will fight in The King Of Iron Fist Tournament 5, Yoshimitsu sharpens his sword and enters the fray.
Prologue (Manual Version):
Yoshimitsu, head of the Manji Party, plans to use the prize money from the tournament to help the starving people of the world.
At the end of the King of Iron Fist Tournament 4, Yoshimitsu broke into the Mishima Zaibatsu vaults and stole the money for his own. During this operation, Yoshimitsu noticed the fallen Bryan Fury and rescued him for Dr Bosconovitch.
One month later, an S.O.S went out from Dr Bosconovitch’s research facility. Yoshimitsu rushed to the facility and discovered everything in ruins and many members of the Manji Party slaughtered. Yoshimitsu found the defeated Dr Bosconovitch in the deepest section of the research laboratory. Bosconovitch revealed that it was Bryan, with his newly implanted perpetual generator, who was responsible for the carnage.
«He destroyed those who helped him. I’ll never forgive him.»
Yoshimitsu’s fist shook with anger.
When Yoshimitsu heard that Bryan had entered the King of Iron Fist Tournament 5, he signed up to seek revenge on behalf of his dead Manji Party. [10]
Ending Description
Bryan Fury is shown walking with a Gatling Gun, then halts and starts to initiate its catastrophic power onto a damaged pillar. Yoshimitsu then emerges from the destruction, dashing forward, avoiding the gunfire. As the Gatling Gun’s bullets come closer to Yoshimitsu, he then disappears. As Bryan Fury scans the area, Yoshimitsu emerges from the sky, somersaulting forward with his sword towards Bryan Fury. Yoshimitsu lands a successful attack, and a stunned Bryan then lets out one last angered cry before being engulfed by an explosion. Yoshimitsu then says the word «Retribution», most likely pertaining to Bryan’s betrayal, savagely murdering his Manji Clan members, as well as attacking Doctor Bosconovitch.
Tekken 6
Pursuing Bryan Fury, trying to avenge his fallen Manji clan comrades, Yoshimitsu realizes that his sword is weakening. His sword is a cursed blade, and retains its power by killing evil doers and villains. Unless Yoshimitsu could restore the blade’s strength, the cursed sword would drive him insane. Realizing that he can no longer use his old sword, Yoshimitsu decides to use another blade called Fumaken, that seals the properties of the cursed sword. He then decides to enter The King of Iron Fist Tournament 6.
Ending Description
After defeating Azazel, Yoshimitsu walks toward him. The mystical orb from Azazel’s chest, now held by Yoshimitsu, levitates then swirls around Yoshimitsu, before attaching to his cursed sword. Yoshimitsu then struggles to hold his sword, which has been consumed/strengthened by the orb, to become an even more formidable power. Yoshimitsu is then shown trying to recover from the sword’s transformation (with an esoteric aura from Azazel’s orb within his chest), then starts to go insanely mad as he makes an immensely powerful slash with his sword that is then shown, from the outside of Azazel’s chamber, to have severed a part of the structure. What happens next is unknown.
Tekken 7
With Heihachi reinstated as the CEO of the Mishima Zaibatsu, Yoshimitsu sensed something bad was afoot, and so entered the King of Iron Fist Tournament as way of confirming his suspicions.
His infiltration point would be the Mishima dojo. It seemed like the perfect location for collecting intelligence, and even though the building would act as the arena for his tournament match, Yoshimitsu approached from the air just in case.
When he entered the Mishima dojo, the place looked as though it had been hit by a typhoon.
Waiting for Yoshimitsu in the gloom was a charming young martial artist. Yoshimitsu couldn’t say for sure, but he thought he seemed a little «tense. «. Though his looks were enchanting, he also seemed dangerous, so Yoshimitsu braced himself for battle.
Ending Description
After defeating Leo, Yoshimitsu ponders on Leo’s incredible strength despite the delicate appearance. He suddenly realizes that Leo is not breathing and immediately performs CPR on top of Leo. When Leo wakes up and looks at Yoshimitsu’s mask, Leo suddenly wails and squirms to get away. Yoshimitsu tries to hold Leo down, saying that Leo needs to rest, but Leo knee kicks him in the groin and knocks him out cold. As the ninja rolls off in pain, Leo quickly gets up and flees.

With a final maniacal laugh, Bryan explodes, and Yoshimitsu gloats «You reap what you sow!»
Tekken Card Tournament
Yoshimitsu appears as a playable character in Tekken Card Tournament. His cards focus mostly on concealing his cards from an opponents view and increasing their stats.
Gameplay
One of the most erratic characters, Yoshimitsu is the primary «rule breaker». Along with his wacky, distracting outfits and brazen battle screams, he carries an unrivalled collection of unique abilities in the series such as healing, health siphoning, flying, self-harm, weaponry (gas, bionic limbs, and his trademark sword), and teleportation. He is a character that can humiliate and confuse opponents into making mistakes.
Against better players, many of his bombastic visual shenanigans and tricks are extremely risky, leaving him open to attack. In balance, some of Yoshimitsu’s more outrageous abilities don’t just fluster an opponent, they can actually be used to interrupt, punish, and avoid abilities that are statistically unavoidable/unpunishable/infallible to the rest of the cast.
Fighting Style
Yoshimitsu’s fighting style incorporates a blend of Ninjutsu, samurai-style sword attacks derived from Kenjutsu and Battoujutsu, special stances, and supernatural moves.
Stances
Due to his fighting style, Yoshimitsu is one of the first and incorporates the use of fighting stances in his martial arts, allowing him a variety of tactics and mobility for different fighters and situations. Even his standard upright position can be considered a stance; apparently to keep things fair and nonlethal for his opponents in the ring, or to keep in check with the rules of the tournament, he instead fights normally in a such a way that keeps his weapon at bay, where his normal attacks execute standard punches and kicks and his specials allow him to freely wield the sword.
One is «Meditation», where he turns his back to his opponent and heals himself (excluding Tekken 3 and Tekken Tag Tournament, whereas if the player left him in Meditation stance, he will lose his own health). «Indian Stance», where he heals himself while sitting Indian style. Another of his stances is «Manji Dragonfly», where he rotates his sword and his mechanical left hand to levitate in midair.
He also has a «Flea» stance, where he stands on his sword by placing the tip into the ground and wrapping his hands and feet around the hilt. Another is his Kincho stance, where he’ll yell «Hissatsu» (meaning «Certain kill» in Japanese), and threaten to pull out his wakizashi. If a certain button is pressed, Yoshimitsu will take the wakizashi out of its case and inflict damage upon his opponent as he pulls it out.
Indian Stance was introduced in Tekken 2, Flea Stance and Meditation were introduced in Tekken 3, Manji Dragonfly was introduced in Tekken 5, and Kincho stance was introduced in Tekken 6.
From Tekken 6 onward, Yoshimitsu can now sheathe his sword and fight without it, and he can also use his second sword in some of his attacks.
Yoshimitsu’s sword
Wielding a sword, Yoshimitsu has many attacks that utilize it. He can perform slashes with it, use it to impale his opponent, and rotate it with his mechanical left hand in a windmill manner (he can also use this method to fly). Another use of his sword is in «Harakiri» moves, where he impales himself and/or his opponent with it, damaging them both.
Yoshimitsu’s sword is a special Japanese sword passed down through many generations in the Manji clan. Its nature is incredibly similar to the legend of the swords made by Muramasa, in which a sword forged by Muramasa cannot be sheathed until it has killed someone. His ancestors, who appear in the Soulcalibur series, are depicted using a simple katana with a purple hilt. Yoshimitsu in the Tekken series has only used a katana in the original Tekken. While his sword is always a Japanese sword and is the same sword passed down through many generations, it never keeps the same appearance and is usually depicted as a tachi, although modified in certain ways.
In Tekken 6, Yoshimitsu learns its cursed nature and enters the sixth King of Iron Fist Tournament to find a way to control it. In his Tekken 6 ending, after absorbing Azazel’s core, his new sword «Fumaken» reverts back to his original sword, and when he hits the ground with it, a large shockwave shoots from the blade, bisecting Azazel’s temple. As of Tekken 6, Yoshimitsu’s sword no longer glows because of the fact that it is losing power and is now corrupted. The corruption can be visibly seen in Tekken Tag Tournament 2.
