He is able to overcome all opponents and eventually manages to get to the final round, where he battles Heihachi. It is during the tournament that the original game takes place. Twenty one years since Kazuya was thrown off the cliff, he entered The King of Iron Fist Tournament to take the opportunity for vengeance. In the years prior to the events of the original Tekken, Kazuya entered martial arts tournaments all over the world, becoming an undefeated champion (only Paul Phoenix ever managed a draw with him). Kazuya nearly died from the ordeal, but his survival was assured through a raising of a malevolent energy called the "Devil Gene", this malevolent energy gave him enough power to take his revenge on his father. If Kazuya was to be his father's successor to the Mishima Zaibatsu throne, he was to not only survive the fall, but climb back up the rocky cliff as well. Unfortunately, Kazuya was defeated immediately and thrown off a cliff by his father, who claimed that his son was weak. When Kazuya was five years old, Kazuya found out his mother died at the hands of his father and attempt to get revenge against him. Most importantly, Kazuya is the father of Jin Kazama through a relationship with Jun Kazama. He has a foster brother, Lee Chaolan, who was adopted by Heihachi, and also a half-brother, Lars Alexandersson, Heihachi's illegitimate son.
