Upon realising Jin may have Kazuya’s powers, Jin’s Devil Gene manifested and in turn attacked the Tekkenshu there. He was successful and felt his mother’s spirit at peace, until Heihachi ordered the Tekkenshu to shoot his own grandson down. Much like his grandfather and father formerly, Jin defeated every opponent that posed a threat, however returning champion Paul Phoenix defeated Toshin, ending the tournament.īut not for long – unknown to Paul, Toshin had a second form which Jin took on. Under Heihachi’s guidance, Jin trained vigorously to gain power to eventually avenge his mother’s death. Heihachi soon announced the third King of Iron Fist Tournament. – causing them to go missing (he only outright killed the first King). Toshin had previously attacked other former fighters – many of which had previously entered the last King of Iron Fist Tournament. Sadly that day came when Toshin attacked Jun, where Jin assumed she was murdered. She told him that should anything ever happen to her he should seek out his grandfather, Heihachi. They lived together in peace as years continued, however around the time Jin turned 15, Jun sensed something forbidding. Meanwhile, Jun Kazama gave birth to a boy, Jin. Heihachi created the Tekkenshu (Tekken Force) to investigate the temple, but only body bags returned. With Heihachi’s power restored, the Zaibatsu kept a low profile while investigating a legend of Toshin – an orge like creature hidden in a temple in Mexico that is rumoured to have immense power. Kazuya proceeded to the final round of the Tournament – only to face his father who had also survived his own being-thrown-of-a-cliff situation.Įven using the power of the Devil, Kazuya was defeated by Heihachi, but instead of being thrown off a cliff, he was thrown into a volcano. His experiments caught the eye of the This resulted in Jun dropping out of the tournament. He even conducted illegal experiments on animals (with the help of Dr Bosconovitch, Alex and Roger was created). In Heihachi’s absence, Kazuya took over the Mishima Zaibatsu and instead of reversing his father’s destruction, he became an even more ruthless leader with at the power at his disposal. Kazuya defeated Heihachi and returned the favour of throwing him off a cliff and gained control of the Zaibatsu. Many believed Kazuya sold his soul to Devil in order to gain power to defeat Heihachi, however Tekken 7 has hinted that Kazumi originally had the Devil Gene, thus Kazuya inheriting her powers. Then Kazuya appeared – now under the influence of the Devil. However, he defeated everyone who opposed him. Kazuya survived, however went into hiding to plan his revenge.Īround 20 years later, Heihachi opened the first King of Iron Fist Tournament, hoping to find a challenge. Heihachi hoped that Lee would be a suitable rival for Kazuya, but he did not factor in Lee’s own motivates to gain the Zaibatsu for himself.Īt the age of 5, Heihachi was training Kazuya to be the next heir of the Mishima family, however he believed Kazuya was too weak and threw him off a cliff. Something happened to Kazumi shortly after Kazuya’s birth – many people believe she died during childbirth – however, Kazuya had the idea that Heihachi was behind it.Īt some point, Heihachi adopted Lee Chaolan – a Chinese orphan with a great ability to fight. He did not kill his father outright – instead he sealed him under Hon-maru, a Mishima-owned temple.Įither before or after Heihachi gained control of the Zaibatsu, he married Kazumi Hoji, then went on to have a son together – Kazuya. He originally founded the Mishima Zaibatsu, however his son, Heihachi, got greedy and challenged his father. It all began around 50 years before the first King of Iron Fist Tournament with Jinpachi Mishima, a well-known fighting legend.
