Grabbing the fragment in excitement, he accidentally cut his fingertip and after a moment of dizziness passed, Heihachi looked around at his surroundings. According to old picture scrolls, this shard was a piece of Soul Edge, a notorious sword from medieval Europe. There he encountered an ancient metallic fragment. He does care for his pet bear/bodyguard Kuma, though.After completing his mountain training with his pet bear, Kuma, Heihachi stopped by at a hot springs resort to recuperate. But Heihachi is the one who started the cycle of hatred with his lust for power and contempt for those in his way, even if they were family. Some Mishimas, like Jin and his great-grandfather Jinpachi (Heihachi’s father), are nobler than others, like Kazuya.

But as Heihachi says, “I won’t die that easily, fools.” So recently he has had trouble keeping up with his son and grandson vying for control of his company – especially considering they both have access to supernatural “Devil Gene” powers Heihachi does not possess. Heihachi is physically powerful and strong-willed, but he is also an old man.

However, while much is known about Heihachi’s power struggles with his heirs, his relationship with his wife remains largely unexplored.Ĭhallenge. Kazuya would then father Heihachi’s grandson, Jin Kazama. Heihachi also has at least one illegitimate son, Swedish Tekken Force member Lars Alexandersson. Heihachi is married to Kazumi, who gave birth to Kazuya, a child Heihachi would later throw down a volcano to test his toughness.

So Heihachi is constantly trying to increase his power, wipe out competitors, and tighten his grip on society. No government is strong enough to curb the Mishima Zaibatsu’s control over the world, just rival companies like G Corp (which is eventually run by his estranged son, Kazuya). He is also a master of Mishima Style Fighting Karate, which he shows off at his company’s regular King of Iron Fist martial arts tournaments. The Mishima Zaibatsu runs everything from finance to Tekken Force private military companies to factories to schools, and Heihachi oversees them all. Heihachi lives in Japan where his company is headquartered, but given his shady nature the Japanese government has denied him citizenship. However, 40 years ago Heihachi betrayed and imprisoned his father, seizing the company for himself.

The massively powerful Mishima Zaibatsu multinational corporation was founded by Heihachi’s honorable father Jinpachi Mishima.
