Jinpachi Mishima is a character and the anti-hero in the Tekken series and the main antagonist of Tekken 5. He is the father of Heihachi Mishima and the founder and former head of the Mishima Zaibatsu.
Jinpachi is also notable for being the first non-playable boss in the main series. He later returned as a non-playable boss in Tekken Revolution, but became fully playable in the version of Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection and the subsequent Tekken Tag Tournament 2.

Appearance[]
Large and muscular, Jinpachi is an intimidating figure despite his age. His eyes are hazel brown, his scalp is bald, and white hair hangs down the back of his head. He also has a short white beard and mustache, which curves along the side of his face to form two points on the side of his head, similar to his son Heihachi's hairstyle.
When Jinpachi is possessed by a spirit, his eyes glow yellow and a mouth with large fangs opens on his abdomen. His skin color also changes and a mist-like aura surrounds his body.
Personality[]
Unlike most Mishimas, Jinpachi was a man of honor, harmony, and wisdom, and was a friend of Wang Jinrei and one of the few people who showed sympathy for his grandson Kazuya when Wang Jinrei was young. At the end of Tekken 5, he realizes that no one can stop him and cries tears as the "devil" that possessed him becomes more powerful, expressing repentance and repentance for his actions under its control. He showed great sadness and remorse over the feud who cursed his family.
