Profile

General:
Lei's life was consumed as usual by police work. Unfortunately for Lei, his live-in girlfriend got fed up with Lei's workaholic lifestyle and dumped him in favor of Lei's assistant.  Ironically, the assistant acted as a liaison for Lei whenever she wanted to get in touch with him at work.  When Lei found out about this, he became extremely depressed. Around the same time, Lei botched an operation to bring a crime syndicate to justice. Lei failed to capture an agent of the syndicate who would have enabled the police to take down the syndicate's boss.  The failure cost the police force two years worth of intense undercover investigations. Rival detectives who were jealous of Lei's stellar case record saw this as an opportunity to damage Lei's career.  Unbeknownst to Lei, the rivals reported to Lei's superiors that he botched the operation by "allowing personal affairs to affect his job performance."

As a result of this betrayal, Lei wound up on a one-month suspension from active duty. Soon after his suspension, Lei learned from an informant that the syndicate was plotting to assassinate a boxer participating in The King of Iron Fist Tournament 4.  The syndicate apparently hired an assassin for the hit. Lei thought that he could gain valuable information from the boxer about the syndicate.  If all went as planned, he could also capture the assassin and establish a plausible connection between the assassin and the syndicate.  Lei reasoned that this would aid efforts to bring the syndicate down. Lei entered the Tournament with the hope of redeeming his honor.

Lei pursued the fugitive, Feng Wei, to Japan, but unfortunately his trail grew cold, and with no new leads he had to return to Hong Kong. And waiting for him back home was a country in chaos; riots with steady regularity had taken the country by storm. Knowing the ones behind this mess were none other than the Mishima Financial Group (MFG), Lei set out for the King of Iron Fist Tournament 6 to arrest Jin Kazama, the ringleader pulling all the strings.

Comment:
Well, Tekken already has a Bruce Lee look alike (Law), so the Namco just said "why not throw Jackie Chan into the mix as well"... Brilliant! Who wouldn't want to see Jackie Chan VS Brunce Lee? Lei's look isn't bad at all, but what really makes this design shine is his fighting style. If you don't know, Lei can hit some awesome kung-fu style "animal" stances, as well as a drunken stance (bad ass); making him one of the most fun Tekken characters to play! This is an example of a design that's good mainly because of his in-game animation! ...Appearance isn't everything you know!
