Heihachi Mishima (三島平八 Mishima Heihachi?) is a character from the Tekken series.
Profile
An heir to Jinpachi Mishima, who at the time controlled Mishima Zaibatsu. He eventually had a son, Kazuya, after marrying. His wife passed away right after he was born, and raised his son very harshly. Hating the fact that his father was being too "soft" to his grandson, he stole the Mishima Zaibatsu from him. Jinpachi atttempted a coup after Heihachi started steering it towards the military industry, but failed and was sealed under the Hon-Maru for 40-45 years (at least until the events of Tekken 5).
Having enough of his son's weakness, he tossed Kazuya down a ravine claiming that if he was really his son he could climb back up. His son succeeded, but only due to the Devil Genes which awakened inside him. He also adopted a young orphan, Lee Chaolan, to be a rival to Kazuya. Heihachi then decides to test his son's strength by hosting the King of Iron Fist Tournament. Kazuya managed to defeat him, and ironically, tosses Heihachi down the same ravine.
A second tournament was announced, with Kazuya as the host. After defeating his son, Heihachi tosses Kazuya into an active volcano believing he killed him. After finally becoming head of Mishima Zaibatsu once again, he founded their private corps: the Tekken Force. They were sent to settle disputes and help cultivate land, thus strengthening relationships with world leaders. 15 years later, a group performing a secret excavation of Central American ruins yielded an unusual find: Ogre. The Tekken Force stationed there were decimated, and Heihachi hatches a plan: capture Ogre and conquer the world.
It was then that a young man, Jin Kazama, came to him and was revealed to be his grandson. After hearing about what happened to his mother, Jun, Heihachi deduced that Ogre fed on strong souls. He then decided to use him as a decoy to lure Ogre. After announcing the third tournament, he starts noticing that Jin is showing signs of the Devil Gene. He then alters his plan to dispose of Jin after luring Ogre, to prevent another usurp.
The attempt failed, so he ordered his scientists to collect blood and tissue samples left behind by Ogre to create a new life form combining its genetic material with his own. Unfortunately, the experiment failed and realized that he lacked the Devil Gene needed to integrate it. During his search for Jin, he found that Kazuya's body was stored in a biotech firm called the G Corporation. He ordered his Tekken Force troops to retrieve his remains, and the mission was supposedly successful...until Kazuya awoke and fought back.
He needed either Jin or Kazuya's body to complete his plan...then an evil smile strewn across his face. He announced the fourth King of Iron Fist tournament with Mishima Zaibatsu as its prize.
After losing to Jin, Heihachi and Kazuya were surrounded by Jack robots in Honmaru. They started fighting them off, but Kazuya ran off and Heihachi was caught in the detonation. Any normal man would be dead by now, but Heihachi is no normal man. He managed to survive and crawls out of the grave. A month later, he learns that someone had take over Mishima Zaibatsu and plans to hold another tournament. Now fully recovered, he vows to get it back.
After assaulted by the Jack force, he learns that the tournament is already over. He heads back to Mishima Zaibatsu, only to find the Tekken Force blocking his way. After learning of another tournament being announced and Jin the new head of Mishima Zaibatsu, he becomes enraged and declares that he will get everything back.
