Biography
The man known as the King of Iron Fist, a formidable figure whose incredible strength betrays his age. He is usually a callous and heartless individual, but from time to time he shows a softer side. He is currently fighting his son Kazuya and his grandson Jin for control of the Mishima Zaibatsu. After discovering that both Jin and Kazuya have begun to search for Pandora, Heihachi begins his own journey to exterminate the two in order to reclaim the Mishima Zaibatsu.
Appearance
Heihachi wears a blue gi with a tiger face at the back, white hair that is wing-like styled and also white mustache. He covers his wrists with bandages. He also wears a red belt on his waist.
Personality
In general, Heihachi is not above betrayal, deceit, or committing small crimes in pursuit of what he perceives as a "greater good". His actions are cold-hearted and sometimes, they are inspirational (he has survived every attempt on his life thus far from pure willpower). Blood relation means nothing to him as once he believes that you are a threat, he will eliminate you without any hesitation. He is the epitome of a self-made man. He believes in complete self-reliance and in being the best in every endeavor. The only charity he will give or alliance he will accept is when it benefits himself. Occasionally, he will reward people that he deems as extraordinary, such as when he adopted Lee Chaolan after witnessing the orphan fighting, and when he took in Jin Kazama and actually came to respect his determination to destroy Ogre.
Story
Intro
Hearing of Jin and Kazuya's race for "the box", Heihachi knew that he could not stand idly by. From what he understood, "the box" would react to the intensity of a fight between numerous strong warriors. Partnering with Kuma, who believed he should be next in line to take over the Mishima Zaibatsu, Heihachi departed for the Antarctic as quickly as possible.
Rival Battle
Location: Urban War Zone
Ending
After an epic struggle, Heihachi and Kuma finally stand before Pandora. Heihachi is eager to open the box, but Kuma urges caution. When the box finally opens and unleashes a powerful beam of light, Heihachi instinctively evades the perceived danger, leaving Kuma to take the brunt of the beam. After recovering, Heihachi realizes his mistake upon seeing the now-youthful Kuma.
