Question: is liu kang a descendant of kung lao?
Answer: So there you have it–Liu Kang and Kung Lao are related. They're both descended from the Great Kung Lao from 500 years ago, making them distant cousins. ... The Kung Lao that stood before Raiden was in fact the reincarnation of the Great Kung Lao, who had been defeated by Goro 500 years ago.
