Jinpachi Mishima (三島 仁八, Mishima Jinpachi) is a fictional character in the Tekken fighting game series.
Jinpachi Mishima, first introduced as the main antagonist in Tekken 5, is the father of Heihachi Mishima, thus being grandfather to Kazuya Mishima and great-grandfather to Jin Kazama. Although Jinpachi has the distinction of being the first boss character of the Tekken franchise to be featured without being selectable (as was the case in the arcade and Playstation 2 versions of Tekken 5 as well as the arcade and Playstation Portable versions of Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection), he was eventually made selectable in the PlayStation 3 version of Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection.
History
Before Tekken
Jinpachi Mishima is the father of Heihachi Mishima and the founder of the Mishima Zaibatsu. He was defeated during a hostile takeover by his son 50 years before the fifth King of Iron Fist Tournament. As Heihachi started to steer the company into the military industry (something Jinpachi had wished against) Jinpachi tried to retake the Zaibatsu, but failed, and was imprisoned below the Hon-Maru, one of Heihachi's compounds, where he died sometime later of starvation.
Tekken 5
In Lei Wulong's interlude, Jinpachi tells Lei that after he died, a certain "thing" (claimed to be the devil in Jinpachi's ending) took over his body, resurrecting him and endowing him with supernatural power.
Hon-Maru was left practically in ruins after The King of Iron Fist Tournament 4, when Jin Kazama left both Heihachi and Kazuya unconscious. Soon after, G Corporation, a rival of the Mishima Zaibatsu, attacked with a unit of Jack-4s. Kazuya stayed and fought alongside Heihachi for a short time, but then threw Heihachi into the group of Jack-4s to cover his own escape. One of them self-destructed, seemingly killing Heihachi. The resulting explosion released Jinpachi from the basement of Hon-Maru, and the demon that possesses his body seeks to destroy all existence. Jinpachi emerged from the rubble to seize control of the Mishima Zaibatsu.
After taking back the Zaibatsu, Jinpachi could feel the entity which controlled him slowly dominating his mind and will. He decided to host a fifth King of Iron Fist Tournament, hoping that one of the fighters that emerged would be able to defeat him and kill him. On a more personal level, Jinpachi wrote a letter to his old friend, Wang Jinrei, asking him to enter the tournament and stop the cursed Mishima bloodline.
At the tournament's conclusion, Jinpachi is ultimately defeated and vanquished by his great-grandson, Jin Kazama, who then takes the Mishima Zaibatsu over and starts his own plans for World Domination.
Appearance

As well has having a normal human form, he also has a devil form which he uses in battle. When in a battle in Tekken 5, Jinpachi's body is surrounded by a purple and magenta aura, and a large mouth with teeth appears in his abdomen. In Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection, Jinpachi's appearance is different (however, his original appearance is available as his second costume). His body is covered in flames, and a large horn protrudes from his head. This change is purely aesthetic and doesn't appear in any of the other games.
Ending
Tekken 5 (This ending is shown if the player loses to Jinpachi and chooses not to continue.)
- Jinpachi is saddened that no one was able to defeat him. The evil in him begins to consume his mind, and he transforms further. Jinpachi can be seen crying tears of what looks like blood. He tenses his muscles and the spikes on his body grow longer before flying away with a white trail (reminiscent of Devil Jin's ending in the same game). In the end, it is stated that "Jinpachi's mind is consumed by the devil as he reaches his final transformation. The world will never be the same."
