Jinpachi Mishima (三島 仁八 Mishima Jinpachi?) is a fictional character from Tekken Franchise who was made his first debut as the final boss of Tekken 5 and a fully playable character in the PS3 version of Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection

Personality[]

Unlike other Mishimas (who were ruthless and power hungry), Jinpachi was a man of honor and wisdom as he showed comparison to his grandson Kazuya Mishima when the latter was a child (this is probably another reason Heihachi resented Jinpachi so much) and was friends with Wang Jinrei. In his Tekken 5 ending, realizing that no one could stop him, he shed tears as the evil spirit that possesed him grew more powerful. 

Story[]

Tekken 5 (5th Tournament)[]

Having been taken over by an unknown vengeful spirit and granted incredible supernatural powers, Jinpachi breaks out of Honmaru when the compound is destroyed during a battle between Heihachi, Kazuya and an army of Jack-4's sent to kill Heihachi. With the news of Heihachi's apparent demise, Jinpachi takes over the company from behind the scenes and organizes the fifth King of Iron Fist Tournament in the hopes that someone will free him before the spirit takes him over compeletely (to the point that he writes to Wang, asking him to complete and put an end to the Mishima Bloodline which has been cursed by Heihachi's greedy ambitions).

In the tournament's final, he confronted by his great grandson, Jin Kazama , who defeats him and puts him to rest in peace. 

Ending Description: Jinpachi laments that nobody could stop him, and transforms into a much more demonic from as the spirit takes over him compeletely. This ending can be unlocked when the player is losing to Jinpachi and not going to continue.
