Kazuya was then thrown into a volcano and nearly killed while the Devil Gene in his body escaped and eventually made contact with Kazuya's son Jin Kazama who succeeded his father as the series' new protagonist for the time being.īefore his downfall, Kazuya was protected by Bruce Irvin, Ganryu, and Anna Williams. Heihachi managed to take advantage of his son's battle of personalities and defeated him in the second King of Iron First Tournament. Angel, an unknown entity, constantly battled with Devil to determine the actions of Kazuya. Of course, the reason for his evil deeds was because he had allowed his hatred for Heihachi to consume him. He hired assassins to eliminate any of his critics or rivals (such as the father of Eddy Gordo), he attempted to extort money from several businesses and organizations, and he even smuggled endangered species and conducted genetic experiments on them ( Alex and Roger). While Heihachi was merely ruthless, Kazuya acted absolutely without a conscience. After he believed his father was dead, instead of bringing justice to the Mishima Zaibatsu and righting the wrongs of his father, Kazuya repeated the corrupt practices of his father and turned it into an even more ruthless organization. Tekken 2 saw Kazuya's true nature revealed in full. There was only one clue as to Kazuya's true intents and nature: His secret PS One palette swap, which turned out to be Devil. Kazuya's clothing of choice is simple white pants, red gloves, and footpads. Indeed, Kazuya originally entered the first Rave War/King of Iron Fist Tournament in order to face off against his father, who was played up to be a corrupt corporate tyrant. According to differing sources (such as Tekken: The Motion Picture and a brief scene in Ling Xiaoyu's Tekken 5 ending), Kazuya was actually quite frail, kind and timid as a boy and was the victim of years of abuse at the hands of Heihachi. And for all intents and purposes, there was no reason to believe differently. In the original entry to the Tekken franchise, Kazuya was considered to be the primary protagonist. Kazuya gets 八(hachi or pachi or ya) from 平八(Heihachi) and followed 一(ichi or kazu) which means a beginning because he is the eldest son. When Kazuya's name is written in Japanese, it's translated as 三島 一八(Mishima Kazuya) or みしま かずや(Mishima Kazuya). Lee Chaolan is his adoptive brother who Kazuya never liked and shared an intense rivalry with. He has a half-brother named Lars Alexandersson who he had been unaware of much of his life, finding out about him in the King of Iron Fist Tournament 6. Kazuya Mishima is the son of Heihachi and Kazumi Mishima He is the grandson of Jinpachi Mishima and the father of Jin Kazama due to an unexplained relationship with Jun Kazama. He was the protagonist of the first Tekken and is one of the main antagonists for the rest of the series, starting from Tekken 2. Kazuya Mishima (三島 一八 Mishima Kazuya) is a character in Tekken and has been in every game except Tekken 3, when he was presumed dead.
