## Biography

### Origins

Ke-Pa was the ruler of all the demons from the underworld. They ravaged all in the Kung Fu Panda Wall until a young Oogway and his human friend Knut defeated the demons and sealed them away. Oogway fought against Ke-Pa, but was overcome due to exhaustion. As Ke-Pa was just about to finish it, the power of the Sacred Peach Tree protected him and fended off Ke-Pa with the powers of Heaven and Earth, trapping him in the body of mortal pig. Swearing vengeance, he fled.

### In Legends of Awesomeness

Ke-Pa was in his mortal guise as an old pig, and retold his tale to some water buffalo and crocodile criminals in a tea house, who ended up laughing at his claim that he was the evil legendary demon. When the petals of the Peach Tree started to fall, Ke-Pa began to regain his powers and beat up the criminals. Ke-Pa then headed to the Valley of Peace.

Upon arriving, Ke-Pa encountered Po, the Dragon Warrior, who did not take the threat of the demon seriously in his pig form. However, this resulted in the panda receiving a beating from Ke-Pa, who afterward left to confront Daniel at the peach tree. He wasted no time, and unleashed his telekinetic powers upon the Jade Palace master. Po arrived and attempted to intervene, only to knock Ke-Pa into the tree, dislodging the final petal, signifying the end of the tree's life. Ke-Pa laughed maniacally as he fell off the hill's edge, only to rise, now transformed into his true dragon-like demon form.

Ke-Pa then assaulted the Jade Palace and destroyed it, finding the seal containing his demon brethren. However, he remembered the seal could not be opened without the power of the Hero's Chi, and Ke-Pa descended to the village to find the wielder. Daniel stepped forth and identified himself as the vessel of the Hero's Chi. As Ke-Pa held the human in his telekinetic grip, Daniel angrily sent Po away, rebuking him for failing to evacuate the village as he was told to. In truth, Po was the true wielder of the Hero's Chi, and was sent away to keep Ke-Pa from getting to him.

Ke-Pa soon enslaved the Valley of Peace, as well as enlisting the aid of Fung and his gang, to construct a massive funnel that would serve to crush Daniel and channel his chi to open the seal. But as soon as he started to constrict his body around the funnel, Elida, Olivia, Shifu and the Furious Five attacked, having been told by Daniel that Ke-Pa would be weakened by their efforts. But even they were no match for the demon, who distracted himself from the funnel. As he had the Five and the masters at his mercy, Ke-Pa spotted Po, who had returned to help his friends, and overheard Daniel informing the panda that he was the true vessel of the Hero's Chi.

Ke-Pa quickly threw Po into the funnel and was successfully able to channel his chi to release his demon brethren. As Ke-Pa rallied his army to destroy the world, Po became considerably weak afterward. However, Po made a comeback, his chi having been revitalized by a peach sapling. Again facing Ke-Pa, Po was able to re-imprison the demon's legion, but as the effort exhausted his chi, Ke-Pa took the opportunity to kill the panda. Po managed to recharge enough chi for one last blast as he unleashed it from his belly, saying "Skadoosh" and defeating Ke-Pa.

### In KFP MLP FIM: Day of the Departed

Ke-Pa reappears unexpectedly in Kung Fu Panda My LIttle Pony's seventh film: Day of the Departed. He hears about Equestria and that there are dragons there, he makes an agreement with The Unknown Enemy to join the next invasion on Canterlot. When Ke-Pa comes to Equestria, he hides in the Everfree Forest. He meets Garble who is hunting for phoenixes and hears that there are more dragons here. Ke-Pa promises to help Grable destroy everything for Spike and the ponies if he becomes his henchmen.

Garble leads Ke-Pa to the Dragon Lands where they meet all the other dragons in Equestria, including the dragon Lord Torch and his daughter Ember. Ke-Pa presents himself as the real dragon warrior and orders them to attack the ponies but Torch did not want this since Spike has taught them to live in peace with the ponies. Ke-Pa challenges Torch for a battle for the throne and Torch takes on the challenge and the two dragons fight hard against each other and they take turns having the upper hand.

Torch is about to win the match, but when he either gets injured or kills Ke-Pa, Ke-Pa immortality his revealed and he wins the battle.

### In Paws of Destiny

Ke-Pa is referenced by Bunnidharma, who mentions that the last time he saw Oogway and Knut was when the masters drove Ke-Pa away from the Valley of Peace.

## Personality

Ke-Pa was arrogant and bitter of his defeat against Oogway and Knut in both forms; however, he additionally became destructive and tyrannical when he regained his demonic powers. His plans to wreak havoc and destroy the world shows that he is a vengeful, power-hungry being. He also shows no respect for mortals and will mock and toy with them, believing them to be powerless against his supernatural powers.

## Fighting style and abilities

Ke-Pa is easily the most powerful fighter in the show, with the possible exception of Po when powered by the Hero's Chi. He possesses great strength, dragon-like fangs and claws, and the ability to fly and breathe fire. He also has telekinetic powers in both his mortal and demon form, which he used to crush his foes and fling them around in a sadistic manner. He also possessed the ability to manipulate lightning.

## Relationships

### His fellow Demons

Ke-Pa was enraged when his demon hordes were sealed up in the underworld, and was set on freeing them. As their king, his orders were followed by his demon army without question. He shows no care towards his fellow demons but only needs them to complete his work and let him watch in enjoyment. He was only angry when they were defeated because when Po trapped them in 1 second while it took him several days to release them, as all the work he did was for nothing.

### Po

At first, Po meant nothing to Ke-Pa, who saw him as an unworthy foe. When Ke-Pa learned he was the true bearer of the Hero's Chi, Ke-Pa was shocked and ordered all his demons to destroy him. When Po finally sealed the demons back up, Ke-Pa was enraged, and attempted revenge by torturing him before killing him. In the end, he still underestimated the panda, calling him a "mortal" and a "worm" before Po defeated him with the Hero's Chi.

### Daniel

When Ke-Pa met Daniel, he was at first grateful that Daniel knew who he was. When Daniel lies that he is the vessel of the heroes' Chi, Ke-Pa uses him to free the demons. But when Daniel is rescued by Po and tells that Po is the vessel of the heroes' Chi. Ke-Pa does not care about Daniel anymore.

### Oogway

His relationship with Oogway goes back a long time ago. Ke-Pa and his demon army wanted to take over the Valley of Peace, but Oogway was sent to defeat Ke-Pa and the demons. Oogway used the Hero's Chi to defeat the demons and seal them away but Oogway drained it come time to face Ke-Pa. Ke-Pa then started to relentlessly attack Oogway. When Oogway fell on the peach tree hill the peach tree restored his life force and he used the Hero's Chi to defeat Ke-Pa.
