Kunimitsu is tall, at 173 cm (5′8″) she is the second tallest female fighter in the series, and has an athletic physique. It is strongly implied that her daughter looks up to her, as her daughter goes after Yoshimitsu after learning of Kunimitsu's pursuit of his sword long ago. Despite this, Kunimitsu does not seem to be completely heartless, as she seems to have a fondness for her grandfather who, in turn, was welcoming to her after she returned from her time spent with the Manji Clan. However, it can be deduced from her actions when she part of the Manji Clan that she is a cold, selfish person with a greed for riches and valuables. Kunimitsu is a very enigmatic character, speaking few words and revealing little of her personality. Sadly, the original Kunimitsu grew ill, and when her state worsened, her daughter finally learned her past history decided to carry out her mother's dream: retrieving Yoshimitsu’s sword. She later married a shinobi and gave birth to a daughter, whom she eventually trained to become a successor to the title of Kunimitsu. Kunimitsu eventually turned her back on the tournament for her two-time failure at earning the Iron Fist title, retiring from her thieving lifestyle. When she confronts Yoshimitsu, Kunimitsu is once again defeated in battle. Determined to steal the sword on behalf of her grandfather, Kunimitsu enters the second King of Iron Fist Tournament to face her former leader. During this time, she learned from her grandfather that the sword held by Yoshimitsu (also called Yoshimitsu) was a priceless artifact, handed down through generations of Manji, and that, despite a lifetime of effort, he had been unsuccessful in forging a replica. Humiliated, she retreated to her former home to stay with her grandfather. However, upon confronting Michelle Chang, the pendant's owner, Kunimitsu was defeated in battle. Kunimitsu vowed to steal the treasure for herself, and entering the first King of Iron Fist Tournament provided the perfect opportunity to do so. It was during this time that she heard of a valuable treasure, held by a young Native American woman, sought by Heihachi Mishima, the wealthy head of the Mishima Zaibatsu.

With few options remaining, Kunimitsu resorted to mending air conditioners to make a living. When Yoshimitsu, the head of the Manji Clan, discovered her thefts, the outraged leader banished her from the clan. While initially abiding by the rules of the clan, stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, she later began to steal from the clan's funds for her own benefit. Renouncing her Japanese nationality in order to remain anonymous, she trained hard to learn the art of Manji Ninjutsu and improve her thieving abilities. Kunimitsu started out as a petty thief but later joined the Manji Clan in order to hone her skills.
