One participant, however, caught his attention, a woman named Jun Kazama. Realizing that he is attracting attention, Kazuya opened the second Tekken tournament to get rid of all oppositions.

Unfortunately despite Kazuya's raging effort to avenge his mother, Heihachi knocked him out and tossed him off a cliff to test his strength and confirm if he indeed has Kazumi's bloodline.
