In Other Media and Merchandise
Yoshimitsu has brief cameos in the original video animation Tekken: The Motion Picture. Yoshimitsu also appears in the 2010 live-action film Tekken, portrayed by Gary Ray Stearns, where he fights and loses against Jin Kazama. Yoshimitsu's dossier is briefly seen in the CGI film Tekken: Blood Vengeance when Anna Williams opens a file containing dossiers on various persons of interest.
In 2006, Namco and MegaHouse released a Yoshimitsu figurine as part of a Tekken 5 set based upon his promotional artwork for the game. While not posable, the PVC figure came with equipable clothing items modeled after those in the game. Two more were made by Bandai in 2009, based on his appearance in Tekken 6. A statue of Yoshimitsu in Tekken Tag Tournament 2 was produced by Kotobukiya in 2012.

Famous quotes containing the word media:
“Never before has a generation of parents faced such awesome competition with the mass media for their children’s attention. While parents tout the virtues of premarital virginity, drug-free living, nonviolent resolution of social conflict, or character over physical appearance, their values are daily challenged by television soaps, rock music lyrics, tabloid headlines, and movie scenes extolling the importance of physical appearance and conformity.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
