## Biography

In desperate need of redemption, Jin Kazama takes his opportunity to go to the Hazbin Hotel until he has severe great terms with the several Hazbin Hotel staffs, showing Charlie Morningstar and Vaggie mostly admire Jin Kazama due to the fact that Jin is one of the most known fighter who loathes his devil form, making it very possible to Vaggie and mostly Charlie that they could help him free from the Devil Gene. Furthermore, Jin also talked to the Hazbin Hotel staffs about their timeline and the situation of the Pentagram City. He did it to them while watching the news about the opening of the King of Iron Fist Tournament, then Alastor suddenly invites him to the tournament to win together and Jin accepted his invitation. Speaking of the news and the situation of the city, Jin no longer complains about his mother is missing as he has seen her joined the tournament as well, but he has to stand against the Overlords, those he and Vaggie think they are worse than the Devil Gene, and especially to end the cursed Mishima bloodline together along with most of his friends, his mother, and Charlie's mother and father.
