==Involvement==
=== Yakuza 6: 2015-2016 ===
With the rest of the Saio Triad, Ed advances on Kamurocho after the Little Asia fire. By sending Triad members, Ed attempts to assassinate Shun Akiyama. While unsuccessful, Ed's attacks force Akiyama to go into hiding, causing Sky Finance to shut down.
In December 2016, Ed hears of Kazuma Kiryu's return to Kamurocho, and follows him. Along with other triad members, Ed follows Kiryu into the sewers, conveniently also finding Akiyama. Defeated by the two, Ed claims the fight was unfair, despite having four triad members backing him, and leaves. Ed's fate remains unknown.

===Yakuza 6 Demo===
Ed appears as Zhang, a top man of China who sent his henchmen to kill Kiryu while he is at Cafe Alps waiting for Kiryu to find him. He then fights Kiryu alongside Scar.
== Fighting Style ==
Ed fights using a karambit knife and a mix of brawling and wrestling techniques. Despite his massive size, he moves fast and with unexpected precision.
He has 2 different movesets: one unrefined moveset that he uses normally, and one refined moveset that he uses in his second and third fight. His unrefined style uses an ordinary left-foot forward stance with his knife held loosely in his hand, while his refined style uses a hunched, right-foot forward stance with his knife held ready to attack.
His taunt animation has him spin his knife by its hoop and mock Kiryu. Uniquely for a taunt, Ed can also bungle it and cut his own face, reducing his health.
==== Unrefined ====
His main combo is a left hook, a right push kick and a right slash, however he can use all these moves independent of each other. He also has a forward right sweep kick (he can cancel his combo with this), an overhead right slash, an overhead inward right stab and a quick stomp.
His grabs include a wrist grab followed by a shoulder stab, and a wrist slash followed by a head-twisting throw (he also uses these in his refined moveset). If you attempt to grab him, he may stab Kiryu and throw him off.
Ed uses his unrefined style in his first and second fight.
==== Refined ====
His main combo is an inward right slash, an outward right slash and a low inward right slash.
He also has a low sweeping left roundhouse kick, a quick right side push kick, two overhead stabs, a quick upward right slash, and a charging attack where he attempts to grab Kiryu and stab him (if it misses, he will be tired but will have super armor during his recovery animation).
Ed transitions into his refined stance during his second fight after losing a certain amount of health. After losing more health he will then enter Heat mode. In his final fight, he immediately starts in his refined style.
