Kazuya Mishima is one of the main characters in the Tekken fighting game series. Appearing originally as the main protagonist and the heroic character of the first Tekken game, he would become one of the most evil characters later in the series along with the demonic and powerful entity known as Devil.
Biography
A cold-blooded killer who has awakened the power of the devil. Supporting the G Corporation from behind the scenes, he works in secret to reacquire the Mishima Zaibatsu. An arrogant and brutal man, he has fought countless times against his father, Heihachi, and his son, Jin. Kazuya seeks to use Pandora to strengthen the devil power within him so that he can wrest control of the Mishima Zaibatsu away from Jin.
Appearance
Kazuya's clothing of choice, simple white pants, and red gloves and footpads, and his hair pulled back. His left eye glows bright red (due to the Devil Gene in his body), and he has several scars across his body, including a large scar that goes diagonally across his chest.
Personality
Because Kazuya sold his soul to the Devil years ago after, after destroying his father (or so he thought), Kazuya repeated the corrupt practices of his father and turned the Mishima Zaibatsu into an even more ruthless organization, absolutely without conscience or remorse for his actions. He hired assassins to eliminate any of his critics & rivals, he attempted to extort money from several businesses & organizations, and he even smuggled endangered species and conducted genetic experiments on them.
Kazuya still had goodness within his heart, which constantly battled his dark side, though this would turn out to be his downfall after merging with his Devil Gene. He is a ruthless, heartless, cold-blooded person with no sense of honor in or outside of a fight and he has a lust for power that has no limits. Kazuya will destroy anyone or anything who attempts to get in his way in his quest for world conquest and power.
Story
Intro
The existence of "the box" came to Kazuya's attention through the G Corporation's information network. Hoping to use the power of "the box" to enhance the strength of the Devil Gene, Kazuya made a temporary alliance with Nina to find it. Though Nina was an assassin who had previously made attempts on his life, she seemed satisfied with the generous reward Kazuya offered and agreed to work as his partner.
Rival Battle
Location: Pitstop 109
Ending
Kazuya and Nina gaze meaningfully at the glowing box in front of them. They had cooperated with one another up to this point, but Nina chooses this moment to reveal her true intentions by standing between Kazuya and Pandora. Kazuya had apparently anticipated this betrayal, and summons a legion of soldiers with but a single gesture. A moment later, Nina is gone, the soldiers are incapacitated, and nothing is standing between Kazuya and Pandora.
