To further motivate Kazuya, Heihachi adopted Chinese orphan Lee and raised him as a rival to his true son. Later, in an attempt to eliminate his son's 'weakness', whose upbringing by Jinpachi is always blamed by Heihachi, he tossed Kazuya Mishima, his then 5-year old son, down a deep ravine, claiming that if he were truly his son, he would be able to survive the fall and climb back up. When Jinpachi attempted a coup d'état, Heihachi quickly captured and imprisoned him below the Mishima compound Hon-Maru and left him starved to death. Decades before the events of the original Tekken, Heihachi overthrew his father out of his control of Mishima Zaibatsu as he sought to control it as an industrial company. Heihachi is better known as the only son of Jinpachi Mishima, a famous martial artist who founded the Mishima Zaibatsu company. He is also the only Tekken character aside from Yoshimitsu to be featured in the Soul series, where he is seen as a guest character in the PlayStation 2 version of Soulcalibur II. He is one of only four characters (the others being Paul Phoenix, Nina Williams and Yoshimitsu) to have appeared in every game in the series and he makes two appearances within the series as the final boss. Heihachi Mishima ( 三島 平八, Mishima Heihachi ?) is a main character from the Tekken series.
