Kazuya was trained in marital arts at a very young age under the guidance of his father, [[Heihachi Mishima]], and grandfather, [https://tekken.fandom.com/wiki/Jinpachi_Mishima Jinpachi Mishima]. His mother, [https://tekken.fandom.com/wiki/Kazumi_Mishima Kazumi Mishima];a carrier of the [https://tekken.fandom.com/wiki/Devil_Gene Devil Gene] whose home clan, the Hachijos are one of the descendant clans of [https://tekken.fandom.com/wiki/Azazel Azazel]'s original servants, discovered that Kazuya had inherited the Devil Gene, offering him the possibility of transforming into a [https://tekken.fandom.com/wiki/Devil_Kazuya demon]. It is revealed that Mishima clan had been on a war against Azazel's army since ancient times, and Kazuya inherits the bloodlines of both opposing sides. At the age of five, Kazumi would die and Kazuya would soon find out that Heihachi was responsible. Kazuya would confront his father, but he is easily defeated and thrown off of [https://tekken.fandom.com/wiki/Precipice_of_Fate a cliff] as punishment for his weakness. Heihachi also used the punishment as a way to test if Kazuya had the Devil Gene, as that would be the only way he could survive and, if he did survive, be strong enough to succeed Heihachi and inherit the [https://tekken.fandom.com/wiki/Mishima_Zaibatsu Mishima Zaibatsu]. Kazuya nearly dies from the fall, but the incident causes his Devil Gene to activate and his demonic powers to awaken, allowing him to climb back out of the ravine.

Following this incident, Kazuya continued to train to prepare his revenge against his father. At the age of 26, he participates in the first [https://tekken.fandom.com/wiki/King_of_Iron_Fist_Tournament King of Iron Fist Tournament] that Heihachi organized. The winner of this tournament would be rewarded with a large sum of money. Kazuya participates in hopes of revenge and of taking the family business for himself. Making it to the final fight against his father, Kazuya defeats Heihachi with his [[Devil Kazuya]] form, and throws his body off the same cliff from which Heihachi threw him off of as a child.

After the end of this tournament and the apparent death of Heihachi, Kazuya inherits his father's corporate empire. This sudden influx of wealth and power renders Kazuya obsessed with surpassing his father in every way, and his growing avarice desire, combined with his Devil's power is what cause Azazel to grow stronger for years prior to its reawakening sometimes later. Under his control, the Mishima Zaibatsu becomes an even more ruthless and oppressive military force, seizing {{iw|wikipedia|Hokkaido}} to create an independent nation, illegally experimenting on endangered animal species, as well as kidnapping, subjugating, and even killing potential threats to his leadership. Two years after the end of the first tournament, Kazuya announces the second King of Iron Fist Tournament to prove his dominance.

During the events of ''[https://tekken.fandom.com/wiki/Tekken_2 Tekken 2]'', Kazuya meets a woman named [https://tekken.fandom.com/wiki/Jun_Kazama Jun Kazama], who attempts to stop the Zaibatsu's illegal animal trading. Kazuya became attracted by her strange presence and unknowingly impregnated her, later resulting in the birth of [https://tekken.fandom.com/wiki/Jin_Kazama Jin Kazama], named after Kazuya's late grandfather, Jinpachi, when Kazuya explains to her about a happy childhood life he had once prior to his fifth birthday. Jun's presence also caused Kazuya to question his corrupted lifestyle, but he proceeds with the tournament regardless. The final opponent is Heihachi, who had survived his fall and came out of hiding to take revenge on his son. Despite Kazuya unlocking his Devil form as a last resort, Heihachi reigns victorious. He throws Kazuya into an active volcano from a helicopter, whereupon he is presumed dead.

In ''[https://tekken.fandom.com/wiki/Tekken_3 Tekken 3]'', Kazuya doesn't make a formal appearance due to being in the hands of a mysterious biotech firm known as [https://tekken.fandom.com/wiki/G_Corporation G Corporation], which helped him recover. Due to his loss in ''Tekken 2'', his son would inherit half of Kazuya's Devil. Later in ''[https://tekken.fandom.com/wiki/Tekken_4 Tekken 4]'', Kazuya would attempt to assimilate Jin's Devil into him, but was unsuccessful. He speculated that the [https://tekken.fandom.com/wiki/Kazama_Clan Kazama blood] within him was preventing the merger. As it turns out, Kazuya's human half had been letting his Devil-half took over his body, and used a momentary distraction to regain control of his body, consequently gaining permanent command over his other half, and merging into a unified being.

During ''[https://tekken.fandom.com/wiki/Tekken_5 Tekken 5]'', Kazuya enters the tournament to remain focus on finding and disposing the G Corporation executives who betrayed him, and seized the company's leadership. Afterwards, in later games, Kazuya must settle his score against both Heihachi and Jin, where Azazel re-awakens at the same time the existence of the Devil Gene becomes known to the public, as well as learning the truth about his mother, Kazumi, from [https://streetfighter.fandom.com/wiki/Akuma Akuma] (a guest character from {{uv|Street Fighter}} in ''[https://tekken.fandom.com/wiki/Tekken_7 Tekken 7]''). Additionally, Kazuya comes to learn that he has multiple younger half-siblings sired by Heihachi across the globe, sometimes after Kazuya awakened his devil, such as [https://tekken.fandom.com/wiki/Lars_Alexandersson Lars Alexandersson] and [https://tekken.fandom.com/wiki/Reina Reina], with the latter is secretly also a Devil Gene carrier like Kazuya and Jin, whose mother's identity either a Hachijo like Kazumi was, or from another unnamed front remnant clan of Azazel's servants.
