Which character is Kazuya Mishima's mother?

Kazuya Mishima’s mother is Kazumi Mishima. Her identity was revealed in Tekken 7, making her a crucial figure in the Mishima family’s increasingly supernatural history.

Kazumi was Heihachi Mishima’s wife and Kazuya’s mother. She came from the Hachijo clan, a family connected to the Devil Gene. Although she initially appeared to be a loving partner, Kazumi eventually tried to kill Heihachi after revealing that her clan had sent her to stop his future ambitions.

Heihachi defeated Kazumi in self-defense, but Kazuya inherited the Devil Gene from her. That inheritance helps explain his transformation into Devil Kazuya and distinguishes Kazumi from other important women in the series. Jun Kazama is Kazuya’s partner and Jin Kazama’s mother, not Kazuya’s mother.

Kazumi also has a connection to Akuma: she saved his life and later asked him to kill both Heihachi and Kazuya. Her backstory therefore links the Mishima family conflict to the guest character’s role in Tekken 7.
