Tekken: Blood Vengeance (2011), writer Dai Satō added both Jin and Kazuya as a pair of men to provide "visual eye-candy" in the same way as the Williams sisters did. While Jin and Ling Xiaoyu appear to have developed a close relationship, Satō did not want to explore a romantic one in the film. Instead, the writer wanted to use these pairs to be played together in the spin-off game Tekken Tag Tournament 2, which relies on the use of teams composed of two fighters. Chiba was replaced by Patrick Seitz in the English release of the film, being credited as "Darren Daniels". Though Satō believes Jin is infatuated with Xiaoyu, he wanted his characterization to be dark especially with how brooding is Jin in an early scene where he laughs at the idea of his fight with Kazuya being the subject of the world's destruction which ambiguously connects Xiaoyu's story. Satō acknowledged that several members of the audience complained that Jin had little screen time but he is glad with it. In the original version of the anime film Tekken: The Motion Picture (1998), Jin has been voiced by Minami Takayama, while Jacob Franchek has voiced him in the film's English dub. Jin has been voiced by Brad Swaile in the game Street Fighter X Tekken.

However, as he becomes a corrupt person, Scott believes Jin is no longer a good person but fits the narrative better because of conflicts with his relatives. Scott believes Jin became a more interesting character during this dark character arc. As Scott began writing a Tekken Western comic, he decided to tell the story from Jin's point of view as he was the most relatable character, despite his dark characterization. Jin feels guilty for all the chaos he has brought to the plot. Since Scott's comic was based on Tekken 6 and Tekken 7, he wanted to explore this take on Jin further since he was the center of the readers' attention even if he is missing through most of the plot. While Chiba reprises his role for Tekken: Bloodline, Kaiji Tang voices Jin for the English dub. Chiba was glad
