Heihachi Alter

Heihachi Mishima Alter (三島 平八 Mishima Heihachi?) is the son of Jinpachi Mishima, the husband of Kazumi Mishima, and the father of Kazuya Mishima. This version of Heihachi is a what-if of Heihachi's destiny if he never had to suffer upon the hands of the Devil Gene in his family, belonging to an alternate timeline to the canonical events of Tekken. Unlike the canonical version, Heihachi Alter is not shrewd, cruel, and power-hungry. Rather, he is a righteous man, stern and disciplined. While he doesn't believe in absolute justice, Heihachi Alter doesn't believe that the end justifies the means and has a moral code of "doing what's right, even if unjust." With this mindset, Heihachi Alter never pursued the creation of the Mishima Zaibatsu and became a famous karate teaching. He is far more affectionate and has no shame of publicly displaying it. He still has a love of animals and has hand raised three bears and taught them to fight, those being the two Kumas and Pands. In comparison to the Canon version, he seems more compassionate despite still being stern. He is often kind to the younger generation and has developed a caring and doting personality towards children, teenagers, and young adults. Because his version of Kazumi died of illness and not from his hands, Heihachi Alter believes in love and has been pursuing it again.
