## Biography

Numerous years after her death, Kazumi heard something about the Hazbin Hotel during her time at Pentagram City. With Kazumi's dislike toward her Devil Gene, she decided to go there, but not just for rehabilitation, the Mishima family issue is another reason she went to that hotel. In the hotel, Kazumi desperately needs the hotel staffs and visitors' help to take out her Devil Gene that had spread to her family. More than that, aside of telling Akuma to kill Heihachi and Kazuya, she told some of them to do that as well, then some just accepts her order, and some rather stops them without any killing acts. However, when Kazumi heard about Lilith's incident, which was caused by her son, Kazumi talked to her about this, then she lost her temper and gets big revenge on both Kazuya and also Heihachi for killing her until Kazumi strongly unites with Lilith. One day at the donut shop in Hell, Kazumi was confronted by the I.M.P. out of nowhere. Blitzo then gave her a reason to confront her. It is her son has ordered the I.M.P. to kill her, giving Kazumi's feeling that her son imitated her ordering Akuma to kill her husband and son. Kazumi then decided to turn against them for self-defense until she defeated them. Managed to do so, Kazumi said to the I.M.P. "If Akuma would come to you, then all of you shall be done." and fled from them. Later, with the announcement of the King of Iron Fist Tournament, Kazumi and Lilith begin their path of saving the Kazama bloodline and the Demon Royal family from the evil Mishima bloodline.

## Trivia

### General

* Kazumi Mishima is the first and only known confirmed woman to carry the Devil Gene.
* According to *Tekken* producer Katsuhiro Harada, Kazuya was not the first Mishima family member to make contact with the devil, and that Kazuya and Jin both believe it started with Jinpachi but only Heihachi knew who it was. Harada also pointed out that neither Jinpachi, Heihachi, nor Lars possessed the Devil Gene. This hinted towards Kazuya's mother and her family being the origin of the Devil Gene, prior to the release of *Tekken 7*.
