Jinpachi Mishima (三島 仁八, Mishima Jinpachi) is a fictional character in Namco Bandai's Tekken series. He was introduced in Tekken 5 as the main villain and unplayable final boss. While he is first made playable in the PlayStation 3 version of Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection (albeit as a bonus character), his full playable appearance is in Tekken Tag Tournament 2. A legendary martial artist, once known as "the strongest fist" Jinpachi founded the mega corporation Mishima Zaibatsu decades before the start of the series. He lost control over his company to his son, Heihachi, approximately 50 years[1] before the series started and 10 years later was imprisoned under the Mishima family temple, Hon-maru, where he died of starvation several years later. He was resurrected and possessed by a demon, and retook the Mishima Zaibatsu during Heihachi's absence in Tekken 5.
