Gen Fu

Gen Fu (根富, Japanese transliteration: ゲン・フー, Gen Fū) is a bookstore owner and a master of Xinyi Liuhe Quan from the Dead or Alive series, who first debuted in the first Dead or Alive. He joined the Dead or Alive Tournaments to help his sick granddaughter, Mei Lin, but as of Dead or Alive 4, he no longer needs to join the tournaments, since Mei Lin is back to full health and the doctor's bills are paid off.

At the age of 67, he is the oldest playable character in the series thus far.
== Overview ==
Gen Fu is a bookstore owner and a master of Xinyi Liuhe Quan. He joined the Dead or Alive Tournaments to help his sick granddaughter, Mei Lin but as of Dead or Alive 4, he no longer needs to join the tournaments, since Mei Lin is back to full health and the doctor's bills are paid off. He is also the mentor of sixteen-year-old Eliot.
== Physical Appearance ==
Gen Fu has had the same general appearance since his debut, he's an elderly man who seems surprisingly in shape for a man his age. He has a normal height and build and has tanned somewhat wrinkled skin and a thick white beard that covers his chin, mouth and upper lip. He has long waist length hair but due to age, he's balding on the side of his head and his hair is greyish white so he keeps it braided in a long braid similar to Kasumi's. He has small light blue eyes and always seems to have a serious focused expression on his face.
His main attire consists of a long sleeved baggy martial arts top with striped fur sleeves and pants with the same design and kenpo shoes. His other attires include other similar outfits but he can also dress casually, as seen in his casual DLC where he dons a suit and he also has a beach outfit where he wears a Hawaiian shirt and shorts and a beach hat and shades and sandals.
== Personality ==
Gen Fu is very much an honorable man, as well as a model martial artist. He is wise and kind-hearted, but somewhat gruff and closed compared to other fighters in the tournament. Much like Ryu Hayabusa, he adopts a tranquil nature, much akin to water; free flowing most of the time, but unforgiving and crushing when roused. Furthermore, Gen Fu is very articulate. He paints, writes poems and ponders on the philosophical aspects of his martial art as well as on that of the world around him.
