Tekken 7: Ranking Every Character From Worst To Best

28. Kazumi Mishima

Another newcomer, Kazumi is revealed to be the mother of Kazuya Mishima, and Heihachi's wife. As such, she's the source of the Devil Gene (or rather the carrier, as her Hachjo Clan had far more to do with it), meaning that Namco had to design a character that immediately exuded pure power.

Thankfully, they pulled it off - though in doing so, Kazumi does fall into unleashing a number of very cheap-feeling attacks. Screen-clearing charges, massive launchers, Power Crushes and her various tiger 'projectiles' can completely dominate on higher difficulties or when used by certain players.

She certainly looks the part and plays a pivotal role in the story (even if her evil turn comes out of nowhere), but there's little to recommend about Kazumi other than her placement in the canon.
