Kazuya Mishima (Tekken series)

There is a consistent force that prevails
through the Tekken series. If it wasn't for Jin, that character would be his
father: Kazuya Mishima. Buy unlike most main characters in fighting franchises,
Kazuya is the anti-hero. He fights for revenge, and he isn't afraid to murder.
It all started back before the original Tekken, when his father, Heihachi,
threw him off into a ravine as a child. Deep at the bottom, Kazuya's dark soul
saw the Devil himself, and he made a deal with him. His soul was to be
exchanged for the satanic powers he posses today. When Kazuya climbed back up
the rocky side of the cliff, he had one thing on his mind...VENGEANCE.
So, when the Iron Fist Tournament came around(Tekken 1), he defeated his
father, using his already deadly karate moves and devil powers combination to
his upper hand. When the dust cleared, Kazuya repaid his father by throwing him
off the exact same ravine so many years ago.
When Heihachi presumes dead, Kazuya took over all his father's assets. Luckily
for him, Heihachi was a Japanese Bill Gates, owning one of the biggest
technology corporations in the world. Yet Kazuya soon became bored of the
business antics, and wanted to start the second Iron Fist Tournament. The
tournament went on as planned, but two things came up that would change
Kazuya's life. One being Jun Kazama. Jun was a beautiful Japanese Judo fighter,
who was actually one with an Angel, the yin to Kazuya's yang. They were drawn
to each other, and ended up having sex. This would later lead to Jin Kazama,
but more on that later.
The second thing to disturb Kazuya was his father's sudden return from death.
Heihachi defeated everyone that stood in his way to get to Kazuya, and in the
end Heihachi actually stood victorious. Perhaps doing the nasty in the pasty
wasn't a good idea, eh Kaz? Heihachi, knowing how evil his son was, made no
effort in risking the chance of a survival. So he threw him into a volcano! A
lava filled volcano laid Kazuya's beaten body, where he stayed for...a short
period actually. Later that year, a biotech firm called "G-Corp"
brought Kazuya back to life. He then stayed with them and proceeded to study
the power of the Devil inside of him.
Years past. His bastard child, Jin Kazama, grows up to be a spectacular
warrior, even defeating Heihachi and a powerful warrior named Orge(who killed
Jun Kazama while Jin was a child.) Yet, during his fight, the devil gene(passed
on from Kazuya) was awakened. This intrigued Heihachi, and knew he had to stop
him. So Heihachi showed up at the scene and shot him down with a few of his
body guards(Tekken Force). Yet Jin survived death, unleashes the full power of
the devil and escaped his grandfather's capture.
Twenty years after the volcano incident, Heihachi's Tekken Force raided the
G-Corp, stealing research data and killing scientists. Kazuya was furious that
his father ruined his plan again, and he decided to get revenge in the only way
he knows how: The Iron Fist Tournament. In the 4th incarnation, Kazuya got to
the semi-finals to face his son for the first time. Yet Jin had already being
captured by the overwhelming Tekken Force. So he moved onto the finals against
Heihachi. Despite Kazuya's wanted revenge, Heihachi beat him again. Hei
laughed, but brought his son to a tied up Jin Kazama in the Mishima Dojo. Being
so close to Jin reawakened the devil, and his powers knocked Heihachi on his
feet. Kaz fought with his son...and lost...again. Wow, two losses in one day.
Tough luck.

Kazuya Mishima's Contest History

Win-Loss Record
0-1
Summer 2002 Contest
South Division - 12 Seed
Southern Round 1 --- Lost to (5) Scorpion, 17282 [28.99%] - 42327 [71.01%]
Extrapolated Strength --- 45th Place [13.93%]
There may have been a ton of fighting game characters in the Summer 2002 bracket, though oddly enough most of them weren't facing each other in matches. Scorpion versus Kaz made for an interesting affair, if for nothing else than the badass match picture:

The match itself was a blowout however, and likely filled with SFF from the fighting game fanbase. Not surprisingly, Kazuya hasn't made the field since this match.
