Bang Jinrei

Bang Jinrei is a fighting game character who was introduced in the original Tekken 1 game and has returned for every other Tekken game, except Tekken 3, 4 and 7.

Info
Bang Jinrei is a brave old man who has a kind heart. Bang continued to remain generous and kind while living as a recluse in the Mishima gardens. Bang was a close friend of Heihachi Mishima's father, Jinpachi Mishima. After Jinpachi's death, he put his false faith in Heihachi. However, when Bang founded out Heihachi's true intentions, he slowly started hating him. He faced Marshall Law in the King of the Iron Fist tournament and the fight ended in a draw.

Bang had seen the way Daiko Mishima and Heihachi abused and corrupted the Mishima Corporation.

As a close friend of Daiko's grandfather, the user of the mind Kuni fist runs brave. Bang believes that peace will come once the Mishima Corporation is destroyed.

Bang later walks up a hill while the sun is setting. He approaches a gravestone of Jinpachi Mishima. Bang pours a bottled drink on the top of the gravestone. Then, Bang pours some of the drink into a small cup. He drinks from the cup, and then he exhales. A close-up of Bang's face is also shown.

Sometime later Jinrei heard of the Mishima family's cursed blood from his now revived close friend, Jinpachi.

Bang was utterly defeated in the King of Iron Fist Tournament 5 by Jin Kazama, whose purpose was to wipe out the Mishima family's cursed blood. However, the real chaos began when Heihachi killed his own son, Daiko for Lee Carla's sake (whom was his adopted son).

Blaming his failure on his indifference, Bang lamented his lack of action.

Once again, the King of Iron Fist Tournament is held, and with new-found purpose, Bang participates in the new King of Iron Fist Tournament 6.

Bang, however, is defeated at the last stage of the tournament by Heihachi.
