BIO:

Devil is Kazuya's alternate form, when the devil gene consumes him. When Kazuya was thrown off a cliff by his father, Heihachi, the devil gene activated within him. Devil appeared and offered Kazuya the ultimate power he needed to defeat his father Heihachi, in exchange for his soul. Kazuya, driven by anger and revenge, accepted Devil's offer. Since Kazuya met Jun Kazama, another entity was created within Kazuya known as Angel which represented all that was good within him. Angel represents the "good" version of Kazuya's Devil Gene. She fought to save Kazuya's soul from Devil, and failed.

Since "Devil" is actually Kazuya, he's really more a part of Kazuya's design than his own. Devil Kazuya from the first Tekken was an odd, yet undeniably cool secret character in the game... especially since you had to unlock every character before being able to use him. However, looking back at the design from today's standard, "Devil Kazuya" definitely looks funny in his spandex underwear, gloves & boots... but hey, it was the early 90's. lol.

The later redesign of Devil was very much an improvement over the original, and I always thought it was cool how his skin color matches Kazuya's iconic purple suit. I still prefer Kazuya's original form, but the fact that Kazuya can turn into this sinister-looking beast is no doubt badass. In TTT1 he was his own character, but in Tekken Tag 2 he's a part of Kazuya... which is pretty awesome. On a side note... in one of his artworks (this one), he's seen standing in a room with a checkered floor and a balcony. This is interesting, because that environment looks strikingly similar to the Fallen Colony stage from Tekken 6! ...Interesting huh?! (Don't forget you heard it here on TFG first!)
