Kazuya Mishima

==Early Life==
Kazuya Mishima is the son of Kazumi Sakazaki-Mishima and Heihachi Mishima, the long-time Chief Executive Officer of the Mishima Zaibatsu: a powerful worldwide conglomerate and its various subsidiaries. He is also the grandson of Jinpachi Mishima, the previous owner of the powerful Mishima Zaibatsu and a world-famous martial arts master. After the death of his mother from birthing Kazuya, Heihachi raised Kazuya harshly. Much to Heihachi's chagrin, Kazuya grew up kind and frail, due to the more loving treatment he received from his grandfather. Because of Heihachi and his father's disagreement with his lack of aggression and his "soft" treatment of Kazuya, Heihachi betrayed Jinpachi and stole the Zaibatsu from him. After assuming control, Heihachi began to steer the Zaibatsu into the military industry. Jinpachi attempted to launch a coup to retake the Zaibatsu from his son, but failed and was ultimately imprisoned underneath Hon-Maru. At five years of age, Kazuya was studying martial arts under his father. He then met a young girl named Jun Kazama, who was crying after seeing a bobcat kill a defenseless rabbit. When Kazuya offered to kill the bobcat, Kazuya's father, Heihachi Mishima, appeared and dragged Kazuya away. To make his son prove his strength, Heihachi throws Kazuya into a deep ravine claiming that if he climbs back up he is to be his true successor, but not before ripping a locket containing a picture of Kazuya's mother from his son's neck and tossing it aside. Kazuya screams as he falls into the chasm. Jun, who tried and failed to locate Kazuya, finds the locket and keeps it. Meanwhile Kazuya barely survives the fall, and makes a deal with the devil in order to survive solely to kill Heihachi. After Kazuya climbs back up his real training with Heihachi begins. To further motivate Kazuya, Heihachi adopted the Chinese orphan named Lee Chaolan and he raised him as a rival to his true son. 
== Coming to America-15 ==
10 years later Kazuya finally found it too sickening to see his father's face and left the Mishima Estate. He journeyed to his mother's side of the family who had relocated to Miami, Flordia, U.S.A. and found his uncle Takuma Sakazaki , his wife Ronnet Sakazaki and his 12 year old cousin Yuri Sakazaki. Takuma was once a practitioner of Mishima Karate training under Jinpachi Mishima himself and was Heihachi's former best friend and rival, so when Takuma sees the fighting potential of Kazuya at the mere age of 15 he deems Kazuya to be his successor in the art of Kyokugenryu Karate: which is Takuma's version of Mishima style Karate. Kazuya is immediately welcomed by his second family with open arms which represses the devil within, and Yuri takes an immediate bond with Kazuya. Takuma instilled him with the difficult principle of self-reliance, where a person's own strength can form their worth in the world, which was very different from his fathers teachings who focuses on strength and accuracy. He eventually regained a sparring partner and unlikely friend when Heihachi sends Lee Chaolan to America to be trained by Takuma and was admitted into the dojo. 
== Tragedy and Triumph-16 ==
On Kazuya's 16th birthday, Ronnet died in a tragic car accident. Takuma left their home and left Kazuya to take care of Yuri. Kazuya did this by partaking in street fighting. At first, he did poorly but, after 4 years of persistence, he eventually established himself as a fearsome and renowned fighter by entering martial arts tournaments all over the world, becoming an undefeated champion.
==Art of Fighting-20==
Upon Kazuya's 20th birthday, Yuri is kidnapped by Mr. Big, a local criminal mastermind of the dangerous city, Miami had become on behalf of Rudolph Von Zanac an undefeated German martial artist. The rage inside Kazuya becomes so strong that the Devil is beginning to awake inside him as he starts his quest. In his quest to find his abducted younger cousin Yuri, Kazuya blatantly attacked a rival martial arts master named Ryuhaku Todoh at his school, fighting him in order to interrogate him about the whereabouts of Yuri. After Kazuya easily defeated Todoh, he told Kazuya where he could find a man with more information. Kazuya then goes further south in to Miami and finds a nightclub owned by Mr. Big, but ran by an ex Navy Captain, John Crawley. Kazuya pulverizes Crawley into submission and he tells Kazuya everything about Mr. Big and his whereabouts. On that same day Lee comes back hearing of the news that Yuri was taken. Kazuya is surprised and highly upset at seeing Lee as Lee had left two years earlier at the beckon of their father. Kazuya asks him why he is here, to which Lee responds by telling Kazuya that he and Yuri are in love. The rage inside Kazuya becomes so unbearable that the Devil is beginning to seep out of him and he tells Lee “Move out my way or I'll Kill you”. Lee then begs Kazuya to let him help him and Kazuya finally agrees. During their journey, they meet a bouncer named King, who is actually an undercover Jun Kazama working for WWWC or The World-Wide Wildlife Company. Jun's identity is blown when she is defeated by Kazyua. Thinking that Kazuya looks familiar she agrees to guide them to Mr. Big's location. With Lee and Kazama's help, Kazuya confronts and defeats the kingpin Mr. Big. His continued pursuit for Yuri leads him to a karate dojo where a mysterious man known only as Mr. Karate challenges him. When Kazuya prevailed, he threatens to finish Mr. Karate unless he told them information about Yuri's safety. Before he deals the final blow however, Yuri, who had been freed by Lee in the chaos, reveals the man's identity as her father. After four years of separation, the family was reunited. Takuma then tells Kazuya, Lee and Yuri why he had been away. Takuma reminds them of the time he fought his way through lackeys and stooges to confront the man responsible for crime in the area, Rudolph Von Zanac. Takuma reviled that he demanded that he put an end to the tyranny to which Rudolph defeated Takuma before repling with threats against Takuma's Family. To protect the safety of his remaining family, he was forced to work for Rudolph; who had been impressed by their battle. In order to preserve his honor, Takuma donned a tengu mask and formed another persona: "Mr. Karate". During his years of labor, he became feared as the indomitable and undefeated hitman for Zanac. While Von Zanac was out on business, Mr. Big was in charge. In order to keep Takuma firmly under his control, Mr. Big had Yuri kidnapped. Kazuya was emotionless after the story as he called his uncle's actions cowardly and left. Kazuya then went to the mountains for training. 
=== Art of Fighting 2 ===
Months later, he received an invite for a Fighting tournament from Jun who was seeking his help in stopping Zanac and accepted it to test his strength, but also because he found Jun fearless and mysterious. One night, while Kazuya trains alone, he is visited by Jun, who tries to return the locket of his mother to him, revealing she was the same little girl from that fateful day Heihachi awoke the Devil in him. Jun then tries to talk him out of taking his father's life, but Kazuya stubbornly refuses to give up, stating that he went as far as to sell his soul to Devil in order to survive the fall and take his revenge. Just then, Kazuya is ambushed and almost strangled by Zannac's Assassin, but Jun stops her, and Kazuya subdues her just when another assassin arrives with a bazooka and tries to kill them all with one blast. Kazuya, Jun and the first assassin then escape. When Kazuya reaches the finals, the tournament's host, Rudolph Von Zannac, expresses his desires to recruit Kazuya into his services. Kazuya refuses and subsequently defeats him. Unfortunately, Zanac manages to escape from Kazuya who was going to kill him, but Jun convinces him otherwise after finally accepting his mother's locket from her. 
==Art of Fighting 3-21==
Now 21 he and Jun have become a couple and share a son whom they name Bo. Over the last year Jun has taken Yuri's place in his life becoming the last thing keeping the Devil within, however he feels the Devil getting stronger and stronger as Kazuya himself progresses. To reclaim his composer he accepts a letter from his adoptive brother asking him to come to Central America and help him protect a chlidhood friend named Freia Lawrence, and save her friend Wyler. they act as her bodyguards during their journey through Sonora, Mexico. Kazuya faces off against Jin a former student of Eiji Kisaragi, which of whom he defeated in the Zannac's tournament and proclaimed himself Kazuya's sworn enemy. Kazuya defeats Jin and Jin is frustrated that his opponent didn't even give his all in the fight. Kazuya then very coldly tells Jin that he is better than Eiji and leaves. Kazuya next faces a woman tying to assassinate him named Kasumi Todoh who wants to kill Kazuya and restore honor to her family but proves to be no match whatsoever for him, although she refuses to give up, on the basis that she deserves to kill him, because he father Ryuhaku hasn't been seen since his defeat at the hands of Kazuya, and that the income from his dojo is non existent and that she and her mother have no home now. Kazuya feels sympathy for her, but berates her for her incompetence, eventually beating the stubborn Kasumi into unconsciousness. Before he can kill her, however, his beloved cousin Yuri arrives and stops him. Kazuya then tells the unconscious Kasumi to thank his mother for her life (implying that because they had the same name he didn't kill her). Once he sees his friends reconcile, he hands his cousin a ticket for Lee's flight back home to Japan and wishes the best for both of them. 
==New Mr. Karate-21-24==
After these events, Takuma Sakazaki retires from the fighting scene and asks Kazuya to take the identity of Mr. Karate, Kazuya is at the utmost reluctant, but Jun convinces him to accept his uncle's offer. As the new Mr. Karate, Kazuya and Jun travel the world proving the power of Kazuya. He fights in Miami and around Japan partaking in the Buriki One Tokyo tournament and making it to the finals, but ultimately loses to it's new champion Yujiro Hanma. Kazuya would then sign up to fight in the underground fighting circuit underneath the Tokyo Dome, the Supreme Fighting Circut, where he is set up to face it's current champion, King. To Kazuya's surprise he is joined by Lee, which of whom he hasn't seen in 3 years. 
=== The Devil Within ===
However their reunion is short-lived as Lee comes to be the barer of bad news, informing Kazuya of Yuri's death. As Lee relays the heartbreaking news Kazuya is frozen still, in shock, Kazuya's tears then roll down his cheeks, but his tears of sorrow, quickly turn into a violent storm of anger. His scar pulsates as the devil begins to pour out of him, while Lee continues to tell Kazyua that Mr. Big found them in Japan and killed her. Kazuya then punches Lee in the stomach as hard as he can, flooring Lee. Lee coughs out blood and as Kazuya walks pass, Lee ask Kazuya for his forgiveness crying “Please, Forgive me Brother”. Kazuya then coldly retorts “Your no brother of mine”. Kazuya proceeds out of the building and immediately boards a flight to Japan, but leaves Jun behind, after she tries to convince him that vengeance isn't the answer. After a week back in Japan Kazuya finds Mr. Big's hide out and kills his goons, however as Kazuya goes to land the final blow on Mr. Big police sirens are heard, and a spot light is put on Kazuya. Jun then appears, having booked her own flight in order to follow Kazuya. She grabs the arm of Kazuya as he is about to strike, which prompts Kazuya to begin to choke Jun and as she looks into his eyes all she can see is glowing red emitting from them. Electricity then flows out of his arm empowering his grip. As Jun begins to beg Kazuya to come back to his senses, she screams “Kazuya!!!!, Stop! Kazuya....remember who I am, I'm Jun..I..love you. Think about our son! Think about Bo....Kaz...uya...Kazuya!!!!!!!!”. Kazuya's eyes then begin to return to normal, as he realizes what he is doing. he immediately begins to let her go and is then shot in the chest and shoulder. As Jun gasps for air, she tries to tell the police to stop shooting, but Kazuya apologizes and flees. 
==Prodical Son-24-43==
For the next 9 years Kazuya travels the world fighting in the underground fight circuits in Japan, China, America, and Brazil. Kazuya becomes the most feared fighter in the world. However Kazuya would soon be visited by someone he hadn't expect to see again, Jun Kazama. She tells Kazuya that she has been looking for him ever since the incident in Japan. Kazuya asks where Bo is and she tells him “ he's somewhere safe” Kazuya then looks down and ask Jun why she has been looking for him. Jun looks at Kazuya and tells him “Because I love you” and she runs toward him and hugs him, Jun then kisses Kazuya, but he stops the kiss telling her “I can't be saved”. However Jun ignores him and they continue to have a night of pure passion. After a few weeks together Jun finds out that she is pregnant again and soon they bare another son named Chan. For 10 years they live in Brazil, and Kazuya becomes a loving, but firm father. He teaches Chan martial arts when he can, but Jun stops Chan from learning, not wanting him to become obsessed with fighting. However all of Kazuya's battles and training have empowered the devil inside of him, to which it becomes uncontrollable at times. In order to protect her son Jun leaves Kazuya in the middle of the night and takes Chan. When Kazuya awakes he is at first angered but soon comes to the realization that a family life, and peaceful times were never meant to be in his destiny. Kazuya then focuses on his revenge against his father, and trains harder than ever before, simultaneously making the Devil inside of him grow in strength. A year later, when the first King of Iron Fist Tournament is announced by Heihachi, Kazuya takes the opportunity to get back at him, setting the stage for their first encounter in 34 years. 
==Tekken 1-44==
Kazuya enters the tournament and defeats worthy opponent such as the alien swordsman Yoshimitsu, the American assassin Nina Williams, and Lee Chaolan, before he makes it to the final against Heihachi. Apathetic towards the tournament's considerable prize money, Kazuya engages his father in a vicious, bloody battle in which Kazuya emerges victorious. Kazuya then proceeds to throw Heihachi's broken body off the same cliff Heihachi threw Kazuya off many years ago, and smiles with his revenge completed. By the time of the second tournament, Kazuya has been the Mishima Zaibatsu's CEO for two years and engaged in much more evil actions beyond that of Heihachi Mishima. Around the same time, Kazuya hears the news that Heihachi is coming for him, to take back the Mishima Zabatsu. 
==Tekken 2-46==
Kazuya announces the King of Iron Fist Tournament 2 in order to lure his foes out for the pleasure of destroying them. During the tournament, Kazuya encounters an unlikely contender, Jun Kazama, and Kazuya is torn between wanting to kill her, or embrace her. Kazuya asks why Jun has come back after all this time, yet again, to which Jun reminds Kazuya of the love she will always have for him. Kazuya'srage takes over and he slaps his once beloved Jun reminding her that she left him and took their son away in the middle of the night, Kazuya then asks Jun what kind of love was that. Jun rises from the floor and proclaims that it was maternal love, to which Kazuya laughs as he asks Jun where this love was for Bo when she gave him up. However Jun stands by her decision with leaving Bo in a better place. Kazuya emotionally exhausted and done with words, tells Jun that she has a choice to either leave his presence now, or stay and fight him. Jun does not wish to fight Kazuya and turns away. As the door closes behind Jun, Kazuya takes out his mother's necklace from underneath his purple suit and opens the locket, seeing his mother's face as well as him, Jun, and Chan on the other side of it. Kazuya then crushes the locket in his hands and wpies away as single tear as he positions himself back in his chair staring out the window losing himself in the rain as he awaits the tournament winner. Eventually, Heihachi makes it to the final round to face Kazuya, who he defeats because Kazuya's struggles (between the light in him, represented by Angel - who was brought forth after his meeting with Jun Kazama, and the darkness within him, represented by Devil). With Jun now truly excommunicated from him as the last thing keeping the Devil within, the Darkness takes over Kazuya, and as a last resort, Kazuya transforms into his Devil form. Devil Kazuya continues the fight atop the roof of the Mishima Zaibatsu headquarters, but Heihachi still emerges victorious due to his training to take back the Mishima Zabatsu. In retribution, Heihachi throws Kazuya's body into the mouth of a volcano and escapes on a helicopter as the volcano erupts. 
=== Kazuya: Operation Revival ===
Shortly after his demise at Heihachi's hands, Kazuya is recovered by G Corporation, a cutting edge biotech firm and rival to the Mishima Zaibatsu. With help from the scientists, Kazuya slowly learns to control the power of the Devil Gene within him over the next four years, but as he begins preparing to take revenge and gain power, G Corporation is raided by Tekken forces on Heihachi's orders to acquire Kazuya's remains. Kazuya ambushes the Tekken Force and promptly defeats them, promising to come for Heihachi next. Kazuya then learns of Jun's death and is deeply saddened by it, however the Devil within doesn't allow Kazuya to mourn long as Kazuya soon learns of the whereabouts of his long lost son, Bo Kazama, and seeks to capture him with the intention of stealing Bo's devil power. 
==Tekken 4-50==
Kazuya then enters the King of Iron Fist Tournament 4, despite knowing it is a trap by Heihachi. At the seventh stage, Kazuya is slated to fight Bo, who disappears. Kazuya is declared winner by default and sent to the final round, where he meets Heihachi and demands to know his son's whereabouts. After winning the fight, Kazuya is taken by Heihachi to Honmaru, a Mishima compound in the woods, where Bo is being held captive. Once inside the compound, the Devil Gene brainwashes Kazuya's mind again and tries to steal Bo's Devil power, but is unsuccessful because of Bo's Kazama blood. Kazuya regains control and awakens Bo through psychic taunts, but is unable to defeat Bo in the following fight, and knocked unconscious. Moments after Bo defeats his father and grand-father and leaves, Kazuya and Heihachi are ambushed by a squad of Jack-4s, who have been sent by G Corporation to destroy Kazuya, since they no longer need him. Kazuya and Heihachi are forced to work together to fight the Jacks, until Kazuya throws Heihachi into a group of Jack robots and leaves him to die in the ensuing explosion. When a mysterious man takes over the Mishima Zaibatsu and announces the King of Iron Fist Tournament 5, Kazuya enters to track down those who betrayed him, and discover the sponsor's identity. 
==Tekken 5-52==
Planing on entering the tournament, Kazuya is ambushed by Raven, who calls Kazuya a "coward who ran away from danger" before registration. He defeats Raven and interrogates him, it is during this little conversation that Kazuya finally learns who is holding the tournament: his grandfather, Jinpachi Mishima. Kazuya reflects on his youth, spent affectionately training with his beloved grandfather. After a moment of nostalgia, Kazuya's true side (the devil gene brainwashes him) surfaces, also one of his eyes turn red. Kazuya then grins and looks back, at Raven, with an evil laugh... Kazuya then further tortures Raven and discovers the division of G Corporation that tried to kill him, thinking that he may be too much of a threat, and he kills them all in revenge to gain all the power to himself, becoming the head of the company and using it as the only powerful opposition to the Mishima Zaibatsu, led now by Bo, who has begun world conquest and declared war on the world to destroy a greater evil. By this time, the world's population sees G Corporation as its only savior, though Kazuya plans to destroy Bo and take over the world himself with an iron fist, and Kazuya uses the company's influence to his advantage: to stop Bo from taking over his plans for world domination, Kazuya places a bounty on Bo's head for whomever can manage to capture him dead or alive and decides to enter the King of Iron Fist Tournament 6 (announced by Bo) to settle the score once and for all with his son. 
==Tekken 6-54==
During the tournament, Kazuya encounters Lars Alexandersson, a rogue Tekken Force leader who he discovers to be his half-brother. The battle ends without an outcome. Kazuya merely leaves. Kazuya along with the G Coporation then arrive at a remote area somewhere in the desert and he feels an overwhelming power within a large corridor/temple and is soon confronted by an entity named Azazel, who is believed to be the reason for the Devil Gene but they are interrupted by the arrival of Bo who has also felt this power and believes that he must win this battle to save the world and destroy the Mishima curse or blood line but he believes that in order to achieve this, Kazuya, Azazel, and himself must all die. Kazuya bothered by his eldest son's interruption transforms into his Devil form and battles Bo. After the battle Bo picks up the unconscious body of his father. Bo is about to finish him with a single punch, only to have paused and dropped Kazuya's body back in the ground. He is then seen with his hands shaking as he falls down to his knees as he finds himself unable to kill his father. While Bo is distracted Azazel faces the newly arrived combination of Lars and Raven in battle, and loses. During the fight, Azazel reveals that it is known as the "Rectifier of All Things", he was created as a result of the sins of mankind, and the time has come for him to destroy humanity so that they can atone, but being too injured to continue the battle, he apparently self-destructs. However, this is later revealed to have been a ruse in order to gather more strength. With Azazel defeated, Lars prepares to capture Bo. However Bo now coming back to reality fights back once outside the temple grounds. As Bo and Lars fight outside the temple, during which Bo fully explains his motives to Lars, Azazel bursts out from the ground underneath them, stronger than ever before. Bo, however, powers up with the Devil Gene and approaches Azazel, who fires countless beams of energy at Bo, only for them to be deflected away. Without warning, Bo punches his fist straight through Azazel's chest and the two of them plummet into the abyss below. Bo then utilized his Devil's power and sacrifices himself to kill The Gold Azazel for good, to free himself from the evil inside him and save the world. After Bo defeats Azazel, the Angel stands over Kazuya's unconscious body, puts her hand over his forehead and takes away the evil spirit permanently. When he gains consciousness and wakes up, Angel is nowhere to be found, and he sees both Bo lying on the floor with nothing but the carcass of Azazel. Kazuya then staggers to his feet and manages to walk over toward his eldest son. Kazuya then holds his unconscious son in his arms as he once did when Bo was a child. Kazuya then thanks his son for completing Jun's quest of finally lifting his curse. However Kazuya could hear soldiers entering and surrounding the temple, so using his son as a means of staying face, Kazuya leaves Azazel's temple, and comes face to face with the Tekken Force sent to destroy Kazuya (a mission from Lars). In order to save himself and prove his dominance, Kazuya suddenly shows the unconscious body of Bo in his hands to the crowd. Seeing this as a "Mission Accomplished" sign, the Tekken Force then lay down their weapons and salute him. Kazuya then leaves via a Tekken Force helicopter and he leaves his son's body in lying in the desert. Raven later finds Bo's body lying in the desert, and leaves him for dead. However Hong Kong Police Dective and world renown super-cop Yue Shu Ya arrives with his squadron and he finds Bo alive. He then takes Bo into custody, who escapes days later. 
==Later Life and Seppuku-55-63==
Kazuya now running both the Mishima Zaibatsu and G-Corporation, attempts to reverse the negative effect the Mishima's have brought upon the world, and he uses the G-Corporation to advance Japan to the number one spot of global scientific superpowers, and uses the Mishima Zaibatsu as Japan's elite and unregistered army. Kazuya also creates a trust fund in Jun's name to be given to Lee's daughter with Ana Willams named Violet, having finally forgave Lee as well as himself for Yuri's death. Meanwhile Heihachi spends years conspiring with numerous members within the Corporation and the Zaibatsu to attempt a coup, but Kazuya finds out and goes directly to Heihachi, resulting in the two fighting once again. Kazuya easily defeats his elderly father but decided to pity his once mighty enemy suggesting to him to stay down and die with pride. However moments later Heihachi is killed by a former Hong Kong cop named Chun Li Wulong as penance for Heihachi killing her father, much to the shock of Kazuya. With Heihachi dead Kazuya felt an burden lift from his shoulders, his dream had come true, but yet he was empty, not because he wasn't the one who killed his elderly father, but because he had everything but what he truly wanted...Jun, he thought about her everyday, and mourned her at every waking hour. Once done with his work, Kazuya knew what he had to do, and he decided seppuku was his only answer. Days later Kazuya was bathed, dressed in white robes, and served his favorite foods. When he had finished, his instrument was placed on his plate. Dressed ceremonially, with the ancient Mishima sword (Endo period) placed in front of him, Kazuya would prepare for death by writing a death poem addressed to his sons Bo and Chan. With his selected attendant, Lee, standing by, he would open his kimono (robe), take up his ancestral sword )—which Kazuya held by the blade with a portion of cloth wrapped around so that it would not cut his hand and cause him to lose his grip—and plunge it into his abdomen, making a left-to-right cut. As Kazuya faded he envisioned Jun surrounded by a glowing white aura embracing him, however before the two can touch hands, Lee would perform kaishaku, a cut in which Kazuya was willingly decapitated.
==Legacy==
With Kazuya dead, Lee becomes the sole owner of the Mishma Zibatsu, in which his first order of business is finding his adopted nephews whereabouts and mailing the death poem to them. Lee then gives his son, made years ago with Nina Williams through vitro-ferltization by orders of Heihachi, Steve Fox the G-Corporation when Steve retires as a professional Boxer, however Steve would soon lose half the G-Corporation to his ex-wife Jane, the lead scientists at G-Corporation. However the Mishama Zibatsu will remain in the Chaolan Family, with Violet taking over after Lee's eventual retirement. Kazuya's youngest son Chan, will die a violent death by the hands of an evil sorcerer from another realm, while Bo will live on to be king of a realm called Edenia, with a beautiful queen. Together the duo continue the bloodline of Mishima, resulting in Bo's son and Kazuya's grandson Shun, receiving an even more advanced yet controlled form of the Devil gene. However this gene would once again prove to be another downfall of a Mishima as Shun is eventually killed for his evil ways.
