Xiaoyu Mishima

"私はかわいいが、私も強いです知っている！"

- Xiaoyu

Xiaoyu Mabashi Ling Kochi Mishima is a character who was introduced to the Tekken franchise in Tekken 3 as a little cute Japanese girl and has returned in every subsequent release. Xiaoyu's fighting style was brought on with some influence from her master and father, Daiko Mishima. Her main goal throughout most of her life is to earn even more money from her family to build more and more amusement or theme parks.

Info
Xiaoyu is a Mishima who loves amusement parks. Entering the Tournament and making her dynasty proud is her first step in having the perfect amusement park built in Japan.

She is both young and small in stature, but Xiaoyu is a skilled martial arts expert. Many believe if she was more serious she could achieve real cruelness. She lives in the Mishima Estate along with other members of her family, being bossed around by Heihachi.

While opening up the first Tournament mentioned before in Florida, US with her family, Xiaoyu told Heihachi that she doesn't want to compete yet, as she feels to young and inexperienced.

After his son wins the first Tournament, Heihachi builds Xiaoyu a theme park. Xiaoyu imagines a place full of happiness and colour named "Mishima Land" already. And eventually when her daydream ends, Heihachi unveils the theme park, which is a gloomy and capitalistic looking place. Xiaoyu almost cries of happiness and hugs her dad (Daiko) for winning it for her.

Later, Xiaoyu is seen a junior at Mishima High School the Mishimas have located in the US. She lived, studied and trained as a real Mishima, said by her grandpa that she shall one day rule the Mishima Corporation. But lacking any particular goals, Xiaoyu grew tired of her everyday routines.

However, one day, she received an anonymous email that warned her of the Black Dragon Clan's evil intentions and the danger to her life. Xiaoyu replied to the email, but she did not receive any further messages from the anonymous individual (actually Jarek).

Xiaoyu's intuition told her that Jarek, who had been a known member of the Black Dragon, could have sent the message. She believed the message and started to suspect him and the Black Dragon.

Upon hearing that her grandfather had just completed the creation of Bloody Nancy-MC849J, Xiaoyu told him that she is for some unknown reasons hunted down and wanted by the Black Dragon, Heihachi alerted quickly to the situation and send a bunch of JACK's after them.

A few weeks later, the Black Dragon was scared shitless and they left Xiaoyu alone and were never heard from again.

Another victory for Daiko in the Tournament made him the fav child of Heihachi. Soon after, Daiko is shown visiting an executive's office, and the chair behind the desk swivels around to reveal Xiaoyu, who has been sitting there for the scene. Daiko wonders what Xiaoyu is doing in the office, and when she replies that she isn't doing sith, but claims she would like to also become a corp. owner one day.

About two years later, Xiaoyu cried of laughter when she heard De Foxe had been killed by her grandfather's creations.

Xiaoyu was shocked at the end of the Iron Fist Tournament 5 when she heard that Heihachi had killed his own son and her father, Daiko, only to see Lee Carla rise. Regardless, she still loved her grandpa with all her heart and is the one and only grandchild of his that hasn't disappointed him, as her sister - Asuka Kazama, left the family business and ways and is actually conspiring against the Mishima Corporation. Reasons could be due to Asuka not being infected by the Devil Gene somehow.

Crossover Mayhem
In Crossover Mayhem, Xiaoyu can be seen controlling a modified version of JACK. That said JACK is a deadly opponent and is indeed a fully armoured version of a standard JACK. His special attacks include cannon blasts and machine guns, he also shares some of his movesets with Sektor. We never get to fight Xiaoyu at all in the game and she is only seen in cutscenes.

Trivia

 * She is the only Asian character who is called by her last name, as Lei Wulong, Feng Wei, Lee Carla, Bang Jinrei, are referred to as Lei, Feng, Lee, and Bang, respectively. It could be due to the fact that Xiaoyu is a hard name to pronounce, especially for the non-Asian characters.

 * Her amusement park's income has been reported to be $320 billion.
