Which character is Heihachi Mishima’s father? Jinpachi Mishima.

Jinpachi is the founder of the Mishima Zaibatsu and Heihachi’s father. Unlike the ruthless reputation associated with several later Mishimas, Jinpachi is portrayed as honorable and compassionate, including in his relationship with his grandson Kazuya. He also had a friendship with Wang Jinrei, linking him to the older generation of Tekken fighters.

Heihachi eventually staged a coup, took control of the company and imprisoned Jinpachi beneath Hon-Maru. Jinpachi died after years of starvation, but supernatural forces later revived him. In Tekken 5, he becomes the tournament’s final boss after organizing the fifth King of Iron Fist Tournament under demonic influence.

The family tree is easy to confuse because Jinpachi is Kazuya’s grandfather, Jin Kazama’s great-grandfather and Lee Chaolan’s adoptive grandfather. Heihachi is also the father of Kazuya and the illegitimate father of Lars Alexandersson, but neither of those characters is his parent.
