He is an orphan adopted by Heihachi Mishima, head of the Mishima Zaibatsu corporation, and afterwards becoming embroiled in a one-sided rivalry with his adoptive brother, Kazuya Mishima. The defeat of Kazuya is Lee'southward main objective in entering the King of Iron Fist fighting tournaments. Since making his debut in the original Tekken, Lee has been a mainstay in the series, appearing in every subsequent game except for Tekken 3, and has at times appeared as an alter ego named Violet, who is additionally playable in several series installments. Outside of the games, Lee has appeared in two animated Tekken films, and he has received a positive critical reception for his flamboyant personality and specially his Tekken 5 catastrophe.

Appearances [edit]

In video games [edit]

Lee is the Chinese adoptive son of Heihachi Mishima, whose own son Kazuya'due south defeat is Lee'southward motivation for entering the numerous King of Iron Fist tournaments held throughout the Tekken serial.[5] Lee was adopted by Heihachi to provide a rival for Kazuya, who he felt was too weak to lead his Mishima Zaibatsu company.[6] Lee studies in the United States alongside Paul Phoenix and Marshall Police force. After Kazuya wins control of the company, Lee works as Kazuya's secretary, in addition to overseeing Kazuya's team of bodyguards and Dr. Bosconovitch's experiments, all while secretly hoping to take over the Zaibatsu. However, Lee is soon expelled from the Zaibatsu for unknown reasons while Heihachi disowns him,[6] causing him to leave the world of fighting and pursuing a career in robotics.[half dozen]

Lee returns in Tekken four as a playboy whose robotics operation is a success. Upon learning that the Zaibatsu's rival 1000 Corporation was attacked past the Tekken Force, Lee joins the fourth tournament after changing his appearance and calling himself Violet in society to conceal his identity,[7] while hoping to exam his new "Combot" experiment in the process.[5] [8] However, he is defeated in the later stages by Kazuya, whom Lee had believed to be dead, only he so learns someone else had controlled the Zaibatsu in Heihachi's absence. Believing it to be Kazuya, Lee enters the fifth tournament in Tekken 5 to take him out personally and regain control of the Zaibatsu, only upon learning that the culprit is Lee'south adoptive paternal grandfather Jinpachi, he drops out of the tournament and returns to his business.[five] Later on Kazuya legitimately takes command of the visitor, Lee enters the side by side tournament in endeavour again to come in contact with Kazuya. In the game's "Scenario Campaign" story mode, Lee joins forces with Julia Chang, Lars Alexandersson, and Dr. Bosconovitch'south android daughter Alisa, due to their shared objective of stopping Kazuya and Jin, but Lee and Lars are not enlightened at first that Alisa was created to serve Jin, thus acting equally a mole for Lars. When Alisa is destroyed at the climax, Lee promises Lars that she will be reconstructed with his company'southward resources, which he finally succeeded at the same time of Heihachi's render in the seventh tournament.[5]

Lee is selectable in the noncanonical games Tekken Tag Tournament, Tekken Tag Tournament 2, Tekken 3D: Prime Edition, and Tekken Revolution.

Design and gameplay [edit]

The first Tekken features Lee wearing a unproblematic purple vest and black pants, a color palette that would regularly be used for the grapheme.[9] In Tekken 4, Lee has a more formal design with a purple wearing apparel shirt, white belong and matching pants.[8] Lee'south master outfit for Tekken 5 and half dozen is a retread of his original costume from the kickoff game embellished with a fishnet undershirt and a blackness collar.[10] An alternate Tekken 5 costume was designed by manga artist and grapheme designer Ryōji Minagawa.[xi] For Tekken Tag Tournament 2, Lee wears a black leather vest with a unicorn printed on the back.[12] Lee'south Tekken seven design is his most elaborate, with a suit and tie worn beneath a long purple overcoat.[13] A constant for Lee throughout his serial appearances has been his silver hair, which, as Violet, changes to night purple to go with an open up-chested purple dress shirt and sunglasses.[7] In response to a fan's tweet requesting Lee's inclusion in Tekken 7, Tekken producer Katsushiro Harada joked that a futurity installment would demand to include "130 characters" to satisfy the series' fanbase.[14]

GameSpy considered non-walled arenas in Tekken iv and Tekken 5 to be a disadvantage for Lee players, but added that he was amongst "the faster characters in the game" with "adept combo ability".[xv] The site said of Lee in Tekken 6, "Lee has the all-time utilise of Okizeme[notation 1] in the game", though his "attacks only have average reach and damage."[16] 1UP.com wrote in 2013: "Playing mind games with your opponent is one of Lee'southward specialties. Subsequently a juggle, yous take the option to manipulate your opponent in whether to stay on the ground, whorl back, or get straight dorsum up."[17] Tekken Tag Tournament two includes a "Fight Lab" tutorial, where players command grooming robot Combot under Violet's guidance and face a series of bizarre opponents.[18]

In other media [edit]

Lee appears in the 1997 OVA Tekken: The Motion Picture as one of the chief antagonists. In the film, he is mentioned equally beingness a one-time hole-and-corner fighter known equally the Silver Devil. Heihachi plans to mitt the Mishima Zaibatsu over to Kazuya should he defeat Heihachi in the upcoming tournament, but Lee wants the company for himself and therefore hires assassins Nina and Anna Williams to kill Kazuya, a task they repeatedly fail. During the tournament, Lee tests his new experiments on the fighters: humanoid dinosaurs called King (based on Alex). His programme backfires as Anna is devoured by one of the creatures, while Kazuya kills the others before scaring the last surviving one away. Lee then confronts Kazuya at the doors of the Zaibatsu belfry, simply he is beaten with a single punch and Heihachi discards him for being worthless. Lee after commits suicide by entering the belfry, killing all its security personnel before setting the isle's self-destruction sequence, and remaining inside when information technology explodes. The explosion causes a concatenation reaction that takes out the entire island that had served as the tournament grounds, but both Kazuya and Heihachi escape in time.[19] Lee was voiced by Shin-ichiro Miki in the original Japanese version, and by David Stokey in the English dub.

Lee's personality differs in the 2011 CGI movie Tekken: Blood Vengeance, in which he has a minor role every bit a wealthy and eccentric teacher at Kyoto International School.[twenty] He aids Alisa, Ling Xiaoyu, and Panda during an escape by providing them shelter, but part of his mansion is later destroyed in a fight between Anna and Nina.[21] He was voiced past Ryôtarô Okiayu in the original Japanese version, and by Kaiji Tang in the English dub.

Lee appears in the YouTube webseries, "Tekken Terminate Motion Web Series" in episode 2 where he battles Kazuya.

Reception [edit]

While Lee was a bit on the uninteresting side in the early games, his return to action [in Tekken 4] led to him condign one of the better comedy characters when need be. His endings for the terminal three games are all based on him casually demeaning Heihachi in humorous ways. He'll too randomly appear in the background of other endings—usually the comedic ones—simply to react with a smile and a thumbs upwardly. They really should only make the [Tekken] series almost him.

—Gavin Jasper, 4thletter.internet, 2012[7]

Elton Jones of Circuitous described Lee in 2012 as "Heihachi's adopted son and the man that invented 'swagged out martial arts.'"[22] Tom Goulter of GamesRadar remarked on Lee's adoption into the Mishima family: "One suspects that the entire storyline of Tekken would exist rendered void if anyone had just given the young Heihachi some decent parenting literature."[23] Gavin Jasper of 4thletter.internet ranked Lee'southward Tag Tournament 2 ending, in which a tuxedo-clad Lee nonchalantly beats upwardly a group of soldiers while walking with his banana to his robotics laboratory, 125th in his 2013 rating of the 200 greatest fighting game endings: "When people describe someone as being 'like a dominate,' they're really comparing him to Lee Chaolan."[24] Mike Luces of International Business Times considered Lee's inclusion in Tekken seven to be a "highlight" of the game.[25] Rich Knight of Circuitous ranked Lee's appearance in Tekken: Claret Vengeance equally the 5th-"craziest" Tekken series moment in 2012: "Lee is probably one of the weirdest characters we've ever seen, as he's giving random thumbs upwards and calling young girls his 'kittens.'"[26] Charles Webb of MTV.com described Lee'southward improvident mansion in the film as "the definition of 'swag'".[27] In an official fan poll hosted by Namco in 2012, Lee was the eleventh-most requested Tekken character (9.28% of 88,280 votes) for inclusion in the crossover fighter Tekken 10 Street Fighter.[28]

Lee's Tekken 5 ending, which depicts him living luxuriously with Heihachi equally his personal servant dressed only in swim briefs and a bow necktie,[29] has received critical attention for its perceived homoeroticism. In 2009, Michael Harradence of PlayStation Universe ranked it as the 7th-greatest Tekken ending of all fourth dimension: "Lee enjoys the fruits of his labor and humiliates Heihachi past having him serve as his thong-wearing poolside lackey."[29] All the same, Croaky.com included information technology in their 2013 characteristic "half dozen Video Game Endings That Are Clearly F#@%ing With Us," commenting: "There is not a doubt in my mind that the makers of that cutscene had to delete forty minutes of video because the rating system would not permit for a full-length hardcore gay porno."[30] In his 2013 feature "10 Video Game Endings with Disturbing Implications You Totally Missed", Simon Gallagher of WhatCulture placed Lee'due south ending 3rd: "All of this strange Oedipal mesh plays out as both men are wearing nothing more than than speedos ... and we are encouraged to laugh at the misfortune of the fallen villain (as well as marvel at his business firm, ancient trunk) while he is powerless to run or fight dorsum. Seriously?"[31] Lee was listed as the number one best Tekken character by Gavin Jasper at Den of Geek, whom observed "With Tekken being about taking the principal hero trope and turning it on its caput, Lee is an extension of that who has unexpectedly become the coolest guy in the whole serial."[32]
