Kazuya on the other hand, I'm not sure I even respect as sufficiently iconic to fighting game fans. Tekken is pretty ensemble. He's a significant character but it's not like he's the Ryu of Tekken or anything.

Eh, I disagree with this pretty heavily. Tekken's the one series that has had a consistent storyline for literally the entire series, and it's always been about the Mishimas first and foremost. Kazuya also regularly finishes in the top 3 in both popularity polls and usage statistics.

I think the main difference between Ryu and Kazuya is that Ryu got famous as "generic fighter guy" and Capcom actually went super hard in embracing that. They've just about avoided giving him much of an actual character specifically not to hurt that image. They want him to be the character you think of when you think of generic fighter/karate guy, and it worked for them. The reason Kazuya isn't as big is because they've focused more on the actual character and the story moreso than trying to get his image over as much as possible, but that doesn't make him less iconic to the community.
