Who is Heihachi Mishima?
As mentioned above, Heihachi Mishima is one of the central characters within the Tekken narrative, so much so that he has not missed an appointment with any game in the series so far, except for the launch of the eighth chapter. Head of the Mishima Zaibatsu, he has a complex history behind him and full of family conflicts, in particular the most famous ones are those with his son Kazuya and his nephew Jin Kazama.
His fighting style is known as “Mishima-style karate” characterized by powerful and lethal strikes, emphasized by the superhuman strength of Heihachi, who despite being well into his seventies still does quite well. Instead, today the DLC with Lidia Sobieska is scheduled to launch for all owners of the Tekken 8 Character Year 1 Pass and from July 25 for all users.
