Here you can find all the info you need on the who's who of Han Imperial Wrestling!  (All artwork used is owned by Koei Tecmo) 

THE EMPEROR
The ruler of China.  Started Han Imperial Wrestling, but has absolutely no intention of overseeing its day to day operations.  Apparently he has better things to do. 











CAI WENJI
Height: 5'5
A singer and a poetess at heart, Cai Wenji's far more happy with a harp than she is in the ring.  Still, whatever drives her to compete, she does take it seriously, and while she may never have the best record, fans appreciate her willingness to keep trying
MAJOR MOVES: Amber Light (Shooting Star Press); Jade Light (Dragonrana Pin); Crimson Light (Reverse STO)





CAO CAO 
Height: 5'9
Considered ruthless by some, practical by others, Cao Cao is a man who has little use for the trappings of nobility and class.  A man who believes in a utilitarianist, meritocritous world, and has no patience or sympathy for anyone who refuses to see his visions.  One of the three men vying for control of HIW. 
MAJOR MOVES: Conquest (Millenium Suplex); Arctic Storm (D'Arce Choke); Phoenix Blade (Phoenix Splash)





DONG ZHUO 
Height: 6'0
If you looked up "pig" in the dictionary, you'd probably see Dong Zhuo.  The only thing that exceeds his girth is his self-centeredness, but his delusions of grandeur outstrip everything.  Fortunately, the man is way too fat and lazy to become anything beyond a minor threat. 
MAJOR MOVES: Mad Bomber (Cannonball Splash); Black Hole (Tiger Driver '91); Sheer Destruction (Curb Stomp) 







GUAN YU
Height: 6'10
His "God of War" nickname is a nod to his raw power, and his disciplined approach to using it, but there's also a gentle, highly honorable side to this giant. 
MAJOR MOVES: Heavenly Gale (Clotheline from Hell); Stormy Rage (Jackhammer); Ascending Dragon (Last Ride)








LIU BEI 
Height: 5'11
Overwhelmingly loved by the fans due to his good looks, kind heart, and devotion to the Emperor, Liu Bei has almost become one of the most popular people in HIW.  And it's just not the fans either- members of the locker room seem to be gravitating towards him. 
MAJOR MOVES: Electric Fang (Shining Wizard); Thunderclap (Fisherman's DDT); Roaring Thunder (Rolling Thunder) 






LU BU  
Height: 6'10
Not much is known about this massive man, other than he's the victor of the first ever match in HIW history.  With his enormous size and pure power, he could be a very intimidating force. 
MAJOR MOVES: Spirit Bomb (Jacknife Powerbomb); Armageddon Strike (Sky high to a Shoryuken); Unparalleled Might (High Angle Chokeslam)








MA CHAO
Height: 6'1
Known as "The Splendid", Ma Chao makes up the more aesthetic half of the ultrapopular tag team Xiliang Express.  With his good looks, fierce regional pride, and strong commitment to justice, its not hard to see why he's one of the most popular members of HIW. 
MAJOR MOVES: Thunderslice (Sliced Bread No. 2); SPiral Pierce (Corkscrew Press); Heaven's Spear (Falcon Arrow)





PANG DE
Height: 6'9
A huge man and the powerhouse of the XLX, Pang De might be even more fervently patriotic about his homeland than his partner.  Still, he hides that fervency behind a mask of stoicism that he very rarely allows to crack. 
MAJOR MOVES: Sandstorm (Torture Rack); Xiliang Charge (Oklahoma Slam); Sandblaster (Pumphandle Driver)








SUN CE 
Height: 5'9
The eldest of Sun Jian's three children, Sun Ce brings a stiff striking game to HIW.  While generally laid back and easy going, he's quick to anger, and does not forgive anyone who slights him, or, even worse, his family.  
MAJOR MOVES: Tiger Fists (Punch Combo ending in Heart Punch); Blazing Smash (Roaring Elbow); Heavenly Fire Spear (Top Rope Spear)





SUN JIAN
Height: 6'0
The patriarch of the Sun family, Sun Jian is a living definition of a "cool old guy". Extremely loving and devoted to his children, he also seems to be unflappable in almsot any crisis, and just out to have a good fight.  Unfortunately, he's not without his baggage- something has indebted him to Yuan Shu, and he's never shown to be eager to do his master's bidding
MAJOR MOVES: Tiger Claw (Head Claw); Spiral Inferno (Spinning Piledriver); Roaring Fangs (Pepsi Plunge) 








SUN QUAN 
Height: 5'10 
The middle child of the Sun Family, Sun Quan is kind of the black sheep of the family- much more introverted than his brother, sister, and father.  Part of this comes from his natural personality- part from a confidence issue that leaves him doubting his own abilities.  There's no doubt, though, when he decides he is capable of doing something- he'll stop at nothing to see it through. 
MAJOR MOVES: Tornado Blaze (Tornado DDT); Heart of Fire (Heart Punch); Heavenly Winds (Moonsault Knee Press) 




SUN SHANGXIANG 

Height: 5'6
The youngest child- and only daughter- of the Sun family, SSX is a tomboy at heart who doesn't care who she has to prove herself against.  With her speed, acrobatics, and surprisingly hard hitting style, Shangxiang's out to prove the girls can do it just as well as the guys. 
MAJOR MOVES: Rising Tiger Kick (Trouble In Paradise); Crimson Volley (Moonsault Double Footstomp); Skyarrow (Elevated Bow & Arrow)







XIAHOU DUN 
Height: 6'2
Cao Cao's cousin and the eldest of the Xiahou brothers,  Dun is a cold, calculating man who carries no pity for anyone who he considers an enemy.  Fiercely loyal to Cao Cao, Dun looks to be the enforcer of the regime should Cao Cao eer gain power. 
MAJOR MOVES: Blue Fang (Throat Spike); Blue Inferno (Blue Thunder Bomb); Ferocious Talons (Lion Tamer) 






XIAHOU YUAN 
Height: 6'0
The younger of the Xiahou Brothers, Yuan is a fairly easy-going guy, but is no less devoted to Cao Cao than his elder brother Dun.  In the ring though, Yuan is a true powerhouse, using his stocky frame well to his advantage- but he's not afraid to take a few risks, either
MAJOR MOVES: Power Shot (Knockout Hook); Raging Bow (Single Knee Backbreaker); Arrowstorm (Diving Headbutt) 







YUAN SHAO
Height: 5'10
Arrogant and condescending, Yuan Shao is a man who believes that birthright trumps all when it comes to qualifications.  One of the three candidates to rule HIW, he beleives the job is his by birthright, and that Yuan SHu and Cao Cao are just jealous little nobodies unable to accept the natural order of things 
MAJOR MOVES: Slash of Glory (Sister Abigail); Royal Pose (Standing Surfboard); Immortal Prestige (Pedigree) 









YUAN SHU
If the idea of Yuan Shao being in charge worries people, the idea of Yuan Shu terrifies them.  While not as foppish as his brother, Yuan Shu is just as convinced of the superiority of nobility, but carries a far more vindictive, sinister streak against people who oppose him.  Heck, he's not exactly nice to the people who are on his side, such as the indebted Sun Family, whom he treats as slaves. 








ZHANG BA 
The youngest brother of Way of Peace founder Zhang Jiao, Zhang Ba is one of Jiao's most trusted liutenants.  Unfortuantely, that didn't stop Jiao from completely throwing him under the bus when Lu Bu showed up.  For some reason, Ba still remains devoted to his brother. 







ZHANG FEI
Height: 6'3
A large, stocky, boisterous bruiser with a love of alcohol, Zhang Fei's combines a hot temper with a fierce passion for his work.  While he's often his own worst enemy, he's also extremely loyal to anyone he calls a friend. 
MAJOR MOVES: Giant's Throw (F5); Titan Whirlwind (Giant Swing); Mighty Shout (Avalanche Splash 








ZHANG JIAO
Height: 6'0
The self-proclaimed leader of the Way of Peace, Zhang Jiao detests the Han as corrupt, and detests HIW as a place to cover up the corruption in bread and circuses.  And while he might have a point- he goes about it in about the most annoying way imaginable, which wins him no friends from anyone.  Still it's doubtful he's going to stop trying until his message isn't just heard, but heeded. 
MAJOR MOVES: Miracle of Earth (Crippler Crossface); Miracle of Heaven (450 Splash); Miracle of Fire (Canadian Destroyer) 







ZHANG LIANG
The middle of the three Zhang brothers who lead the Way of Peace movement.  Zhang Liang is seemingly a better fighter than his younger brother, and maybe even his older brother too.  We don't know- but what we do know is that he's prone to temper tantrums in the ring if he doesn't get his way. 












ZHANG LIAO
Height: 6'1
Not too much is known about him, other than he seems to be under Dong Zhuo's thumb...and that Dong Zhuo pretty much expects him to do all the work.  He's obviously a very capable fighter, but his situation is probably going to cause struggles. 
MAJOR MOVES: Whirlwind Strike (Discus Lariat); Lightning Kick (Yakuza Kick); Slicing Winds (Winds of Change)
