Background:
Spoiler:
Heihachi possibly would have made a better Bushi, but the Kami spoke to him. He has been to the Kaiu wall many times, looked out over the Shadowlands, seen his own family destroyed by the taint. Heihachi prefers to stay out of court, as he has never been comfortable with the machinations of the other clans, he feels they spend too much energy on politics and not enough on the real threat. Even as a child, Heihachi would see signs and portents, he knew when the crops were to fail, he would know when an attack into the Shadowlands would be fruitless and when it would succeed, thus he was pushed toward being a shugenja. He learned to use the bow and katana as all good bushi would, he knows how to wield the heavy weapons which the crab are so superior at using, he wometimes wonders if he would have been better off going to a bushi school instead.
