This is also shared with both Kuma and Panda (who were also both taught by Heihachi). Also, the fighting style branched out more with each character gaining even more moves that were uniquely their own, effectively creating different iterations of the same fighting style.ĭuring Tekken Tag Tournament 2, all practitioners shared a special tag throw where the leader sends the opponent to the partner with " Stonehead" and the partner then knocks the opponent down with the same move. Heihachi performing the Flash Punch Combo in one way, but Kazuya executing it in another, when initially, the two characters had executed the moves exactly the same. While the style itself does not migrate outside the Mishima family, there have been instances in the older games, most notably the first Tekken game, where other characters would have the same moves, such as Armor King who was able to use moves similar in animation, properties, and damage as the Dragon Uppercut and Rising Uppercut.Īs the series progressed, the moves became more and more dissimilar among the practitioners, e.g. They also all share a 10 Hit Combo (f,f,N,2,1,2,2,3,4,4,1,2,1), although Jinpachi Mishima himself cannot use it.

Signature moves of this fighting style include the following: Jin mastered the style within four years, although abandoned it and deliberately unlearned it after Heihachi betrayed and shot him at the third King of Iron Fist Tournament. The Mishima Style Fighting Karate did not have another student until a fifteen-year-old Jin Kazama turned up at the Mishima Estate, begging Heihachi to take him in and teach him karate in order to become stronger and take revenge. He later sent Lee away on business to the USA, but kept Kazuya at home, and taught him advanced Mishima Style moves. He taught his son, Kazuya, and his adopted son, Lee Chaolan, the style. Īfter Kazumi's death and Jinpachi's imprisonment, Heihachi became the head of the style. After Heihachi and Kazumi married and had a child, Jinpachi also taught their son, Kazuya Mishima in his early childhood. His two known students at this time were his son, Heihachi, and Kazumi Hachijo. His intentions became more peaceful and he focused on growing his dojo.

After World War Two, Jinpachi focused on building the karate style, having decided to take a step away from the warmongering direction he'd previously taken the family corporation in. The Mishima Style Fighting Karate was founded by Jinpachi Mishima and brought to completion by Heihachi Mishima.
