Feng Wei

**Feng Wei** (馮威 *Féng Wēi*; Japanese: フェン・ウェイ *Fen Wei*) is a fictional Chinese character from the *Tekken* franchise of fighting games. He was introduced in *Tekken 5* as one of the three new characters (the other two being Asuka Kazama and Raven) and has returned for all subsequent games.

## Biography

### Personality

A ruthless and merciless martial artist. Feng has a lust for power and fighting, which can be seen as both a strength and weakness, as while he was skilled enough to be the best in his class, his greatest flaw is that his addiction and impulsive urge to start fighting eventually got the better of him, causing him to murder his master after he scolded him for fighting outside the dojo. He seeks to become the strongest fighter in the world, and is not afraid to show his full power against any opponent that gets in his way, and has destroyed many dojos in his wake to obtain what he desires.

Despite this, Feng does have a vague sense of honor, as he accepts defeat, when Wang defeats him in the Arcade Story Mode. Rather than recovering and trying to kill him as he did to his master, Feng bowed down before him as a sign of respect, and acceptance of the fact that he was defeated by him. Although Feng is prone to malicious acts, he is not strictly diabolical (unlike Kazuya or Bryan, for example), as he simply wishes to be the strongest; those who do not stand between him and his goal are usually of no concern to him, and he has no desire for world domination.

## Gameplay

### Fighting Style

Feng Wei fights using God Fist Style Chinese Martial Arts, a highly devastating and aggressive style that is equally athletic as it is powerful. The style emphasizes on palm-striking techniques, versatile kicks and erratic whirling strikes. Though fictional, the style is primarily based on the Cantones martial art *Hung Gar*.

## Trivia

**General:**

* Feng Wei's name written in Chinese as (馮威/冯威 *Féng Wēi*), where in (馮/冯 *Féng*) is the surname, and (威 *Wēi*) is his given name. He is currently the only Chinese character (with a Chinese name) in the *Tekken* series who does not have a double given name.
* Feng Wei wears iron rings around his wrists. This is most likely to add weight to his arms to increase resistance as well as providing defense against opponents. These are mainly used in Hung Gar and Yau Kung Mun styles of martial arts. They have also appeared in various popular culture such as Jackie Chan's film *Drunken Master* and Stephen Chow's *Kung Fu Hustle*.
	+ In *Kung Fu Hustle*, they are used by a practitioner of Hung Gar and in the *Avatar: The Last Airbender* cartoon series, the Earthbender style is based off of Hung Gar.
* Feng's style of meditation in his *Tekken Tag Tournament 2* ending is a direct reference to the Chinese martial arts film *Drunken Master*, in which the character Wong Fei-hung (played by Jackie Chan) is forced to do a similar technique in his training.
* Due to his appearance and fighting style, Feng's design may be based on Retsu Kaioh from the manga/anime series, *Grappler Baki*.
* Feng is similar, and has been compared to, Gato (from SNK Playmore's *Fatal Fury* series and *King of Fighters*series), who also fights with Chinese Martial Arts.
	+ Additionally, Gato's design is also based on Retsu Kaioh from *Grappler Baki*.
	+ Feng Wei also bares similarities to *Hokuto no Ken*′s Raoh; both prodigies of Chinese Kenpo and yet ambitious to the point of murdering their own master, seeking greater strength.

***Tekken 5*:**

* Feng Wei can be customized to resemble Guan Yu (關 羽/关 羽 Guān Yǔ) from the Three Kingdoms period during Imperial China and the *Romance of the Three Kingdoms* novel by Luo Guanzhong.
* The fact that Feng attacked Asuka's father's dojo could be a subtle reference to Bruce Lee's famous film *Fist of Fury*, except in reverse: the Chinese martial artist is the villain and the Japanese are the victims in this case.

***Tekken 6*:**

* Feng Wei can be customized to resemble Lu Bu (who is also from the Three Kingdoms period during Imperial China and the *Romance of the Three Kingdoms* novel), Sun Wukong (known as the monkey king in Chinese mythology), Kilik from Namco's *Soulcalibur* series, and Vega from the *Street Fighter* series.

***Tekken Tag Tournament 2*:**

* In Ghost Battle, there is a Feng/Leo ghost of professional Japanese player Yuu. This is likely because Yuu uses Feng and was the 2nd place finalist in the *Tekken 6* Global Championship Final.

***Tekken 7*:**

* In Asuka's ending, Lili pronounced Feng Wei's family name correctly (it's pronounced as "Fong").

**Other:**

* In *Tekken: Blood Vengeance*, Feng's dossier is briefly seen (incorrectly identified as Nina Williams) when Anna Williams opens a file containing dossiers of various persons of interest.
