The first Tekken game introduced Kazuya as the lead protagonist, establishing Kazuya immediately as the series' main mascot as he sought revenge against Heihachi for throwing him off a cliff as a child.
The following game saw Kazuya Mishima's role in the franchise change places with his father's as Kazuya became consumed by the Devil that saved his life all those years prior while Heihachi sought his own vengeance.

Devil explained that he lost half of himself when Kazuya was thrown into a volcano and that his other half resides within Jin. He knocked Heihachi out with a laser and then unsuccessfully attempted to draw the Devil Gene from Jin.
Devil speculated that it must be Jin's Kazama blood that was preventing the assimilation. While Devil was distracted, Kazuya was able to take back control of his body, fighting down Devil and then merging their power. Kazuya then called for Jin to awaken.
Once Jin woke up however, they fought and Jin succeeded in defeating Kazuya, who was then knocked unconscious. Please proceed to the final stage. Though Kazuya sensed Heihachi's hand in Jin Kazama's disappearance, a fearless grin crept upon his face as he headed towards the final stage.

Twenty years ago, I lost a part of myself when you nearly killed me.
Now, I'll retrieve what's rightfully mine from him! The time has come for my resurrection! Heihachi gasps and steps back. Devil laughs: "What's the matter? Didn't your precious science provide all the answers you needed Devil then turns to Jin and stretches out a hand. An aura glows around Jin, then his devil markings appear.
Devil draws back his hand, confused. Devil suddenly cries in pain and bolts of blue electricity roll up his body. He writhes in pain and says "Kazuya! What are you do?! It can't be!

White text comes up on a black screen that reads: That day, the Mishima Zaibatsu compound and the area surrounding it vanished without a trace.
The truth behind the incident never came to light. As he came to, he was attacked by JACKs. Are they after me too?! For a while, Kazuya and Heihachi fought as father and son. But Devil Kazuya flew away, leaving Heihachi to die alone. Kazuya enters the King of Iron Fist Tournament 5, to make the traitors pay. When he finally regained consciousness he was surrounded by a Jack-4 squad. So they plan to take me out too. He morphs into a devil and takes flight just as the Honmaru explodes.

Heihachi is pronounced dead, but someone has mysteriously taken over the Mishima Zaibatsu and announced the King of Iron Fist Tournament 5. Kazuya enters to track down those who betrayed him and discover the sponsor's identity. During the tournament, Kazuya crosses paths with Raven , who recognizes him after seeing him flying away from the Hon-Maru. Kazuya defeats Raven and interrogates him. When he makes Raven talk, Kazuya discovers that he was betrayed by G Corporation, and that something was awakened from under Hon-Maru.
Kazuya realises what Heihachi has done, and speculates that in fact it is his grandfather Jinpachi Mishima , who is somehow controlling the Zaibatsu now. In a likely non-canonical interlude with Heihachi, he accuses Heihachi of imprisoning his grandfather under Hon-Maru and explains to him that he's now been released. It is unknown how far Kazuya progressed through the tournament. Ending Description After initially greeting his grandfather with respected, Kazuya fights and defeats him.

Satisfied with himself, Kazuya grins and looks back, and gives an evil laugh. Prologue After he had killed the G Corporation officials who betrayed him, Kazuya Mishima succeeded in taking control of the corporation from behind the scenes. In the meantime, the world was quickly slipping into chaos due to the activities of the Mishima Zaibatsu, led by Jin Kazama. Kazuya could never accept a world controlled by anyone but himself, and he set out to use the military power of the G Corporation to suppress the Mishima Zaibatsu.
At this point, the G Corporation was praised by the nations of the world for its heroic actions. When the G Corporation's public influence had become great enough, Kazuya used it to announce a hefty bounty for anyone who could capture Jin alive. This was just as Kazuya had predicted, and it put a satisfied smile on his face. Summary of In-Game Events Despite not winning the fifth tournament, Kazuya discovers the division of G Corporation that tried to kill him, thinking that he may be too much of a threat.
In retaliation, with the help of his former henchman Bruce Irvin , he kills them all to gain all the power for himself, becoming the head of the company and opposing the Mishima Zaibatsu. The Zaibatsu, led by Jin, has already begun world conquest and declared war on the world to destroy a greater evil.
Kazuya interrogated Raven and learned that something was awoken underneath Hon-Maru. Kazuya realizes that his grandfather, Jinpachi Mishima, was sealed under Hon-Maru and was likely the sponsor behind the tournament. It is unclear how far Kazuya got in the tournament, though he did not win.
However, he reunited with his old subordinate and acquaintance from Tekken 2 , Bruce Irvin, who helped him find and dispose the traitors at G-Corporation's Nebraska branch. Since Jin managed to defeat Jinpachi, he took control of the Mishima Zaibatsu, and the world was thrown into chaos from his actions. Kazuya used the might of G-Corporation to suppress the Zaibatsu, and was heralded as a hero for saving the world.
However, Kazuya only did this because he could not accept a world run by anyone other than him, and him alone. Kazuya uses his newfound political sway to place a bounty on Jin's head, dead or alive. He eventually locates Azazel in a temple in the desert and goes to obtain its power. However, he and several G-Corporation soldiers are ambushed at the temple by Lars Alexandersson, a rogue Tekken Force soldier and Kazuya's half-brother.
After fighting for a while, Kazuya simply walks away, only warn Lars that the life of a Mishima is not a life worth living. Later, Kazuya learns that Heihachi is still alive, has once again taken control of the Mishima Zaibatsu, and has announced a seventh King of Iron Fist tournament. Not surprised by any of this, Kazuya sends his minions to thwart whatever plan Heihachi has before he found and captured a recently disappeared Jin.
Heihachi and Akuma fight off the army and successfully destroy all of them. Kazuya then learns that Akuma was sent by his late mother to kill both Heihachi and himself. He disregards this revelation and laughs it off, believing it to be absurd.
Akuma seemingly kills Heihachi, though Kazuya believes his death was faked. Akuma then tracks down Kazuya and confronts him on the top of the G-Corporation building. Kazuya agrees to have a 1-on-1 fight. Initially overwhelmed by Akuma, Kazuya resorts to his devil form, not knowing that the fight was being recorded via space satellite and the world now knew he was a demon.
Heihachi then blasts both Kazuya and Akuma with a laser cannon from a satellite in space, which happened to be created by the late Doctor Abel. This destroys the building and shifts the public's opinion to Heihachi's side. However, Kazuya survived the laser attack and uses his own laser via Devil Blaster to destroy the satellite, which falls to Earth and destroys a whole city.
With the world believing Heihachi destroyed Abel's satellite laser cannon, public opinion is once again on Kazuya's side. Several hours later, Kazuya and Heihachi who did in fact survive his encounter with Akuma confront each other inside a volcano. Both manage to severely injure the other, but Kazuya eventually manages to defeat Heihachi and throw his seemingly lifeless body into a river of lava.
