Tekken: Bloodline is an action adventure fantasy anime television series based on Bandai Namco Entertainment's Tekken franchise of fighting games. The series loosely adapts the events of the 1997 Tekken 3 game and follows the young fighter Jin Kazama in his quest to defeat Ogre, the creature that killed his mother Jun. Jin's quest leads to him being trained to track Ogre by his violent grandfather Heihachi Mishima who is hosting a fighting tournament called the King of Iron Fist. The show premiered on Netflix on August 18, 2022, for a total of six episodes.
The series was produced as a coming-of-age story of Jin, something that game director Katsuhiro Harada wanted to emphasize since Tekken 3 did not highlight Jin's past. It was directed by Yoshikazu Miyao, who wanted to properly show Jin's tragic story.
