Wait Kazuya is how old now? Katsuhiro Harada reveals the official age of many favorite Tekken characters
Fighting games generally have an interesting quirk where their characters don't really age that much between new entries, but Tekken hasn't been as afraid of the passage of time.
During the latest episode of Harada's Bar, Director Katsuhiro Harada revealed the true ages of Kazuya, Heihachi, Asuka, Eliza and other fighters as of Tekken 7.
Responding to a fan question on their age and birthdays, Harada pulls up an internal document on his phone to look at the characters' full profiles, and the editors hilariously censor his eyes with a black bar because he can't be seen without his sunglasses now.
Kazuya is first up being revealed to be 49 years old in the latest game with Lee only being a year behind him.
Heihachi is definitely getting up there now considering Harada says he's 75 in Tekken 7, but he's nowhere close to the oldest fighter around at the moment.
The director jokes that Wang Jinrei would be 105 if he is even still alive because he hasn't been seen canonically since Tekken 6.
As for the current playable roster, however, Eliza seems to take the cake at around 500 years old, which makes sense as a vampire.
Although they've been around for almost 20 years in the real world at this point, Asuka and Lili are not full adults yet with Harada saying they're both about 17 still.
He also reveals Lili's birthday is November 11 simply because 11/11 looks like her name.
On top of that, the document also has fighters' blood types, which Japan uses in a similar manner to astrology in the West, and Harada jokes that he doesn't think Eliza has a blood type.
