Profile

General:
A relentless merchant. Jinpachi, his childhood friend, once told Wang, "To preserve peace," I must put an end to the Mishima bloodline." These were Jinpachi's last words to him. 30 years after Wang heard of Jinpachi's death, he received and invitation to the King of Iron Fist Tournament 5. "I need your help. Come see me, Jinrei." The letter was signed "Jinpachi Mishima." A confused Jinrei says, "What? Jinpachi is alive?" Wang enters the tournament to see if his long lost friend still lives.
 

Jinrei Wang heard of the Mishima Family’s cursed blood from his close friend, Jinpachi Mishima. Jinrei was utterly defeated in the King of Iron Fist Tournament 5 by Jin Kazama whose purpose was to wipe out the Mishima Family’s cursed blood. However, the real chaos began when Jin Kazama assumed control of the Mishima Financial Group (MFG). Blaming his failure on his indifference, Jinrei lamented his lack of action. Once again, the King of Iron Fist is held, and with newfound purpose, Jinrei participates in the King of Iron Fist Tournament 6.

Comment:
Wang was always somewhat of a "sleeper" character in the Tekken series, and still is... Overshined by the many "young" and more exciting fighters introduced from sequel to sequel. However, his design improved greatly in Tekken 5 as he was given some much cooler looking moves.
