Jinpachi

## How Jinpachi joined the Tourney

Jinpachi was once a renowned martial arts master, famous throughout the world. However, after being betrayed by his son Heihachi he lost the Mishima Zaibatsu and faded into obscurity. As Heihachi began to steer the Mishima Zaibatsu into the military industry, Jinpachi plotted a coup d'etat but failed and was imprisoned in an underground prison. For decades Jinpachi endured until, after a tremor, the prison seal restraining him weakened. Jinpachi, filled with inhuman strength, unleashed all of his power and broke free.

## Snake's Codec Conversation

**Snake:** "This is Snake."
**Wang Jinrei:** "Ah, Mr. Solid Snake. I'm Wang Jinrei, that old man possesed by a devil is my old friend, Jinpachi Mishima."
**Snake:** "Did you spend time together as friends?"
**Wang Jinrei:** "Rarely, in fact, Jinpachi is Heihachi's father. And the first Mishima Zaibatsu head. Knowing him to be too honorable, Heihachi took the Zaibatsu from his father by force. I feared him dead..."
**Snake:** "That was rectified later, you know."
**Wang Jinrei:** "A demon spirit took over him and possessed, Jinpachi held the King of Iron Fist Tournament 5 to find someone who can save him from the spirit. Even if it means killing him. As long as he is possessed, Jinpachi is a more deadlier fighter than he was in his previous life. You might have to kill Jinpachi, for I do not have the courage to."
