[edit] Story

Gen knew Chun-Li's father, and he briefly trained her. Gen's Ansatsuken incorporates many Kung Fu styles, such as Mantis, Crane, Bear, and Tiger. Gen also owned a restaurant called Genhanten.

Gen entered the first World Warrior tournament to find worthy opponents. When he did not, he went back to the streets of China. Later, he found that he was dying from leukemia. Unwilling to go out on his back, he went out and fought members of Shadoloo, hoping to find a worthy foe to fight to the death, but he could not. When he heard of Akuma, he sought him out. When Akuma grabbed him with the Shun Goku Satsu, Gen emptied his heart and mind, and thus the fatal attack failed to kill him. When Gen struck Akuma with his Zan'ei shadow fist, Akuma was unaffected. As they battled, Akuma realized that Gen was ill, and broke off the fight.

Insulted, Gen pursued Akuma until they fought for the final time, to the death. The outcome of this fight remains unknown. At some point, he trained Yang and Yun Lee, the nephews of his friend Lee.

[edit] Trivia

  • In Gen's stage in the original Street Fighter, there are a lot of signs in the background. Some of the signs include Southeast Asia Money Exchanger, Siu Wah Bargain (Bargain is misspelled as "Bargagain") Palace, Gou Norman French Cuisine, etc., which hints that his stage is in Hong Kong.
  • Gen is the only Street Fighter character that can change fighting styles in mid fight.
  • He is known for his quote in English, spoken to a defeated opponent: "You are a big fool!"
  • His restaurant is one of the backgrounds in "Super Gem Fighter: Mini Mix" ("Pocket Fighter" in Japan).
  • When Gen and Akuma fight in Street Fighter Alpha 3, they perform their signature moves on each other before the fight begins, re-enacting the fight described above.
