Mishima Clan was an Excorists Clan according to Yoshimitsu's Tekken 8 Bio!

From Yoshimitsu's Tekken 8 BIO on the Website, according to it the Mishima clan were an Exorcist clan!

"Yoshimitsu is an inheritor of the Manji Ninjutsu and the current head of the Manji Clan, a group of chivalrous thieves active since the Sengoku period. Six months ago, Yoshimitsu accepted a request from an investor of the refugee relief project. The task was to find archives that contained information on the past doings of the Mishima Zaibatsu.

After analyzing information that his clan members had gathered, Yoshimitsu is led to an old, underground cave. Legend has it that the Mishimas once used it for exorcisms. He scans the area using the technology built into his reinforced armor and continues down a dilapidated path. In the recesses of the cave, Yoshimitsu discovers the archives he has been looking for."

This is huge! i mean, i knew it was probably like that but i didn't think we would actually get some Mishima lore! hopefully we'll get to see more of the clan's past in the Kazama Saga. There are a lot of spiritual clans and ancient excorists families in Tekken from all arround the world ( mostly Japan though ) and i bet were all connected to each other, especially the Japanese ones.

We have Claudio's family from Italy, Zafina's clan from Egypt, Kazama clan and now Mishima clan from Japan!. I am sure they all had their own style of exorisms based on their culture. My guess is that the Japanese spiritual clan's knew each other well, Hachijo, Kazama, Mishima and more!, all of them. (*´∀`*) The Hachijo clan was more shrouded in mystery and secrecy though since they were assassins with the Devil Gene, that they all kept hidden from the world for millenia.

Another thing i am excited about is the story mode's title called "The Dark Awakens" which i am pretty sure it hints that Azazel might be back at the end of it or that we might see him at some point in the story mode, and perhaps we might even fight him as Kazuya or Jin. I, for sure am excited for this part! because Azazel was confirmed to be the originator of the Devil Gene in Tekken 6 and now we are getting more Hachijo lore with him as he is the source and root for all of this, if you know me though, if we do we get Hachijo and Mishima past lore then i am pretty much down for Kazama clan past too! with the Mishima clan now being confirmed an exorcist clan, there's a connection with the Kazama clan, Angel, and Kazuya and Jun too.
