However, Jin is revived by the same dark power his father had within him and transforms into Devil Jin. At the competition's climax, Jin ultimately defeats the creature, but is gunned down by the Tekken Force under Heihachi's orders. Four years later, Jin enters the 3rd King of Iron Fist Tournament, unknowingly being used as bait by Heihachi to lure the Ogre. Under the orders of her mother, Jin flees to Heihachi, where he tells his grandfather of the events and asks to be trained in the Mishima Style Fighting Karate to exact his revenge on Ogre. Fifteen years later, Jun is suddenly killed by a creature known as Ogre. Jun and Angel try to help him supress it, but their efforts ultimately fail with his defeat. However, around this time, Kazuya begins to succumb to the control of a dark force within him. The two form a relationship, with Kazuya later impregnating her with a son. Sometime during the 2nd Tournament, Kazuya met a woman named Jun Kazama. When first battled, he will be wearing his famous purple suit, but upon losing the first match, he will transform into his Devil form.Īlthough Kazuya appears in the game in certain cutscenes, he is not a playable character, due to still being presumed dead during the game's events.
Kazuya serves as both the sub and final boss of the game. Heihachi regains his leadership role in the Zaibatsu and inexplicably creates world peace. The two eventually have a rematch at the tournament's climax, where Kazuya is beaten by his father he is later knocked unconscious and thrown into a volcano as it erupts, seemingly killing him. Two years after the first Tekken, Kazuya hosts another King of Iron Fist Tournament Heihachi, having revealed to have survived his fall and hid in the mountains to train, enters the competition in order to take back control of the company. With his father gone, he assumes control of the Zaibatsu as the ultimate reward for winning.Īs CEO, Kazuya uses the influence of the Zaibatsu for his own villainous intentions, turning the company into a far more ruthless organization some of the crimes committed range from creating genetically engineered animal soldiers to seizing the entire island of Hokkaido. Kazuya faces Heihachi as his final opponent and manages to defeat him, later throwing his unconscious body off of a cliff much like what happened to himself.
Kazuya enters the tournament to exact revenge on his father, who had abused him for years and threw him into a volcano years prior as a test of strength. Kazuya is introduced in the first Tekken as an entrant in The 1st King of Iron Fist Tournament, a martial arts competition devised by Heihachi Mishima and sponsored by his financial company, the Mishima Zaibatsu. He primarily fights using the signature Mishima Style Fighting Karate, which was taught to him by Heihachi.
He is the son of Kazumi and Heihachi Mishima, husband to Jun Kazama, father to series protagonist Jin Kazama, half-brother to secondary protagonist Lars Alexandersson, adoptive brother to Lee Chaolan, and grandson of Jinpachi Mishima. However, his true colors were eventually revealed as a power-hungry, anger-fueled villain hellbent on world domination (though his dark side is largely hinted at in the PlayStation port of the first Tekken). Kazuya Mishima is a middle-aged man who initially presented himself as a hero who defied his criminal father and defeated him in combat.
