**Jinpachi Mishima** is a character in the *Tekken* series. He is the father of Heihachi Mishima and the founder and former head of the Mishima Zaibatsu. Aside of being a playable character in the PlayStation 3 version of *Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection* and later *Tekken Tag Tournament 2*, Jinpachi serves as a playable DLC character in *Tekken X Hazbin Hotel*.

## Biography

Returning alive in Hell, Jinpachi Mishima has been going around the place for years until started his trip to Pentagram City in late 2019. When Jinpachi was having a look at the Hazbin Hotel, and with his dislike to his demonic side, Jinpachi then found out the Hazbin Hotel is a hotel that rehabilitates sinners and corruptions, making him think the redemption is very possible for him. In this instance, Jinpachi started checking in there. One day at the Hazbin Hotel, Jinpachi was thinking about the Mishima Zaibatsu, which he is clearly the founder of it. Hearing the further rumors about his company, Jinpachi also finds out it is even more ruined not only by his son, but also Sir Pentious and Darth Vader. However, figuring out his company's purpose of destroying the Hazbin Hotel, Jinpachi's dislike to his son is totally increased, making him in desperate need of help retaking his company. While needing anyone's help, Jinpachi spends a plenty of time to discuss with several Hazbin Hotel staffs (especially Charlie Morningstar and Husk) and visitors about the fall of Mishima Zaibatsu and the cursed Mishima bloodline until ended up the King of Iron Fist Tournament is announced. Jinpachi then prepares for the tournament and is united by his friends to retake control of the Mishima Zaibatsu and to put an end to the cursed Mishima bloodline.

## Quotes

* "*Show me what you can do!*"
* "*Insignificant worm!*" (against his enemy)
* "*Let's go, old friend.*" (against Wang)

## Trivia

### General

* It is possible that Jin Kazama is named after him. Naming a child with a kanji from a relative is a common practice in Japan, and already established as a tradition within the Mishima Clan.
* Jinpachi is named after *Tekken* developer, Katsuhiro Harada's father.
* According to Harada, contrary to popular belief, Jinpachi doesn't possess the Devil Gene.
	+ Harada also revealed that it was not actually Jinpachi who built up the Mishima Zaibatsu financially. It was, in fact, Heihachi and therefore this is the reason why Jinpachi was riding in a taxi to get to the King of Iron Fist Tournament. Jinpachi never had the financial resources in the first place.
		- In the *Tekken 7* story, it is actually stated that Jinpachi actually had control of the Mishima Clan's budding military industry for a time, but decided to fully devote his family's legacy to martial arts instead, as he abhorred needless conflict.

### Tekken X Hazbin Hotel

* Jinpachi appears as one of the final bosses in the 10th stage of arcade mode with tag option, partnering with Lucifer.
