Harada also stated that while Jinpachi Mishima has a demonic transformation in Tekken 5, it is unrelated to the Devil Gene. Two characters in the Tekken series have the Devil Gene, Kazuya Mishima and Jin Kazama. The Tekken 6 final boss, Azazel, also has an unknown relation to the Devil Gene. The Tekken series producer, Katsuhiro Harada, has stated that although its first appearance was in the first Tekken game, courtesy of the being referred to as Devil, that its origin has yet to appear in a Tekken game. In Namco's Tekken franchise, the Devil Gene has unknown origins. This grants enhanced strength and speed to its user and extra abilities such as flight and the firing of lazer beams. It allows a person to overcome their physical limitations by transforming themselves into a more demonic form. While there are differences in the way it appears in different gaming franchises the one common trait of the Devil Gene remains the same. The Devil Gene appears in Capcom's Devil May Cry and Namco's Tekken.
