Tekken (鉄拳, Iron Fist) is a long-running series of 3D fighting games, centered around the feud among the members of the Mishima family. The series was originally represented in SSB4 and Ultimate through a downloadable content costume for Mii Brawlers based on Heihachi Mishima, a recurring antagonist in the series, and then joined the roster with Kazuya Mishima in Fighter's Pass Vol. 2 for the latter title. In Ultimate, Heihachi also cameos as a sprite in Namco Roulette, using his sprite from Tekken Tag Tournament 2.
Coincidentally, costumes based on various Nintendo characters were available in the Wii U version of Tag Tournament 2 while Heihachi was a playable character in PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, Sony's equivalent to Super Smash Bros.
