At some point, Heihachi betrayed Jinpachi and stole the Zaibatsu from him. Much to his chagrin, Kazuya grew up kind and frail, perhaps due to the more loving treatment he received from his grandfather Jinpachi (see Kazuya's Tekken 5 ending). During this time, He fathered a son named Kazuya. Heihachi was born as the heir to the rich, powerful, and well-respected Jinpachi Mishima, the owner of the powerful Mishima Zaibatsu and a world-famous martial arts master. All Mishima given names end with the kanji 八 (meaning eight) pronounced as 'Ya', 'Pachi', or 'Hachi'. His given name in Japanese (三島 平八) translates to 'Flat Eight' in English. Heihachi Mishima (三島平八 Mishima Heihachi) debuted in the first game of the series and he has returned for all subsequent titles.
