Kazuya Mishima

Personality:   Kazuya is driven by his need for control, power, and revenge against his father. After initially appearing to be a sympathetic protagonist in Tekken, from Tekken 2 onwards, he has shown that everything comes second to his plans for complete control and power. Since Heihachi's death, Kazuya has continued crusading for power and is driven now by the desire for complete control and world domination, an ambition of his that has been hinted at from the very start. There are very few individuals that Kazuya is not cold or cruel towards. He often laughs at others' misfortune, talks down to them, and in the course of his quest for complete domination, has amassed a large number of enemies, many of whom have been personally injured by his exploits. A notable exception to this concerns Jun Kazama. It is stated that the two became close, that Jun believed that there was goodness in Kazuya, and that he could be saved from the devil inside him. The entity Angel is a testament to there being some truth to Jun's beliefs, as this creature is described as an aspect of Kazuya reflecting the good still left in him. After he merges with his devil in Tekken 4, however, Kazuya's emotions and desires seem to be more in line with that of his devil, and Angel has no more canonical mentions. His methods become noticeably more cruel as well, with human abduction and experimentation explicitly sanctioned under his rule as G Corp CEO and wanton assassination of those who oppose his economic monopoly. Despite this, Kazuya does initially show respect and affection towards his grandfather in Tekken 5, and in Tekken 7 continues to harbor anger towards Heihachi for killing his mother, whom he loved dearly. He reproaches Heihachi for killing his mother and laughs at the idea that Kazumi would want to kill him, since he believed she cared for him. Kazuya also seems to have a sense of personal honor. He is insulted by Heihachi's accusation in Tekken 5 that he would order JACKs to kill him, calling such a method crude. This is in keeping with Kazuya's overall approach in the games, where, despite at numerous times having the advantage of corporate backing, his personal feud with Heihachi is always confined to tournaments and fights with his own bare hands. This is noticeably different from Heihachi, who has used a gun, abduction, and blackmail during the course of the Iron Fist Tournaments and attempted to kill Kazuya with a laser satellite while he was engaged in fighting Akuma. While he is merciless to those who betray him, Kazuya frequently seems to command the loyalty and respect of those under him. Both Anna Williams and Bruce Irvin return to work for him when he takes over G Corporation, and both are entrusted with high-ranking positions close to Kazuya, where they only answer to him. Kazuya has a practical appreciation for those under him, as evidenced by him calling off his troops when Akuma arrives, telling them they are no match for him and to send Akuma to him instead. While an older Kazuya is more set in his quest for power and use of his Devil Gene, he is also more calculating and less erratic in his decisions than his younger self, allowing him to rely on those close to him and build a firm power base from within G Corporation. Unlike his father or adopted younger brother, Kazuya does not like the limelight. His desire for power seems to stem from an obsession with control, and he has little interest in fame. When Kazuya takes over the Mishima Zaibatsu in Tekken 2, he "disappears into the shadows," and likewise, both as an experiment and later as CEO of G Corporation, he prefers control from the shadows, rather than making public appearances and announcements. This is likely related to his devil form, which he has striven to keep secret from the public. Kazuya, unlike his devil, is invested in using scientific study and advancement. He has a personal stake in understanding his own genetics and has the patience and long-term planning to see research as a necessary step on his path to control and revenge. He has a cunning streak and, much like his brother and father, is capable of being devious and scheming.
