Who is Reina Mishima in Tekken 8?

Reima Mishima is the daughter of Heihachi Mishima. As of now, it seems like she is an illegitimate daughter. However, being a Mishima, her goal is to carry on her late father’s legacy whom Kazuya killed during the Tekken 7 story mode.

Reina’s stage in Tekken 8 is a remastered version of the original Mishima Dojo. The name of the stage is Secluded Training Ground. The stage captures the whole Mishima vibe with demonic statues spread across the arena.

Reina Mishima’s fighting style in Tekken 8

Reina’s fighting style is a mix between Taido and the Mishima Karate style. From what we got to see in the trailer, she looks like a highly offensive unit. She has multiple stances “Electric Wind God Fist,” “Spinning Demon,” and “Heaven’s Wrath.”

If you take a look at her Rage Art, she punches the enemy with a lightning-powered attack. However, this attack has a silhouette of Heihachi himself, thereby showcasing a deep connection between Reina and her father.
