1) From Tekken series: 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.
2) From Soul Calibur series: There was once a ninja clan that was massacred at the hands of a vengeful lord. Yoshimitsu, the sole
survivor of that clan, swore to avenge the fallen, but was no match for the
army that protected the lord. Helpless and alone against the enemy, Yoshimitsu the avenger was chased off. Although he
lost one arm during his harrowing escape, he managed to cheat death only because of his considerable ninjutsu abilities and a great deal of luck. Despite this experience, Yoshimitsu could not give up his desire to avenge his clan. He saw opportunity in a rumor that circulated within
Japan during that time and decided to travel overseas. Soul
Edge, the ultimate sword—if only he possessed that sword, he would surely be able to cut down an
army at will. Yoshimitsu traveled across the continent, chasing down rumors of the sword. When he finally reached Europe, he came upon the aftermath of a massacre. During that time, a series of mysterious killings wreaked havoc and
spread terror across Europe. The
bloody carnage before Yoshimitsu’s eyes reminded him of the slaughter of his clan.
