My top 5 favourite Liu Kang Actors

5. Tom Choi

I loved Tom Choi voice acting as Liu Kang in both Mortal Kombat 9 & X/XL. Tom is a Korean American actor like the Mortal Kombat 1 & 2 guy but instead he's a voice actor in the Mortal Kombat franchise. He acting in a few Disney shows and he is recently in Netflix popular Korean show Squid Games. I liked that it brought the Shaolin Monk feeling in Liu Kang and it's felt like the pride of a Shaolin warrior as Liu Kang is a Shaolin Monk like his cousin Kung Lao and Kung Lao nephew Kung Jin.

He first voiced Liu Kang in Mortal Kombat 9 which was brilliant and then he voiced Liu Kang in Mortal Kombat X/XL which was amazing. Tom is such a talented voice actor for Liu Kang and it would be amazing if he done Liu Kang once again.

4. Matthew Yang King

I got to give respect though to this guy who voiced act as Liu Kang in Mortal Kombat 11. He was amazing had the same as Tom Choi. Even though I don't enjoy Mortal Kombat 11, his voice acting was good.

Spoiler Alert: Mattew Yang King is also voicing Netherealms new moblie game. I am saving storage for that lol.

3. Brian Tee

I was surprised to notice that my favourite Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift Character was then Liu Kang. Honestly who can't dislike Brian Tee though so Talented. His first cameo was actually in Austin Powers in Goldmember. Yes you would see a very young Brian Tee in 2002 before 5 years on when you went to Tokyo Drift as the main villain called DK Takashi, who is part of the Yakuza with his Uncle who races against Sean for DK's girlfriend.

Brian Tee plays Liu Kang in Mortal Kombat Legacy the next Mortal Kombat series in the 2010s generation in Season 2. He's not like the other Liu Kang's nor Robin Shou's in the 1995 Mortal Kombat Movie, Brain wears a red shirt and leather Jacket, not quiet the Liu Kang we was expecting but I didn't mind as I love leather jackets hehe.

2. Robin Shou

Out of the blooms. Such an excellent fighter. I thought he was amazing playing as Liu Kang. It's also surprised me that Robin is July same as me and his number birth is 4 days before mine lol, but he was born in the 60s, as I was in the 2000s. Even more though he is taller then me I am smaller then him.

Before Robin Shou became Liu Kang he started in Hong Kong learning Mix Martial Arts and training in China. But then he was called to try out some Hong Kong films. So he started out to do stunts even though he didn't know what stunt was back in the 80s. He then goes on to act in Hong Kong films like Tiger Cage 2 and In the line of Duty 3 with Donnie Yen and Big Brother, The., Death Cage, City War and many more He also made a Brief Appearance in Big Heat, The.

When he came back to America a friend of his who works with Warner Brothers asked him if he could join the cast for a new movie in 1995 called Mortal Kombat who was directed by Paul S.W Anderson who made the Resident Evil series Movies & 2022 Monster Hunter. He didn't know what Mortal Kombat was he only heard it from the Game Liu Kang who was in Hong Kong filming a movie with Jackie Chan.

Robin took the role of doing not just action but Chorography in the movie. I loved Robin Shou and even though the new movie came out, Robin was right he is the chosen one but he's the movie chosen one . I will always love the 1995 Movie one better

Ho Sung Pak

I love him 100%. This guy is amazing Mix Martial Artist, so skilled. Ho Sung Pak was the first ever Liu Kang in both Mortal Kombat 1 and 2. Sung started doing Mix Martial Arts in around 80 or 81 with his brother Ho Young Pak. He stopped doing Mix Martial Arts tournaments to go on then to Film directing. Sung is also Korean American the same as Tom Choi.

Before Mortal Kombat Ho Sung was asked to play one of the thugs in the movie The Legend Of The Drunken Master (Drunken Master 2) as a character called Henry. I loved him in that whether he plays bad or good in movies he still amazing. Sung then came back to Chicago and his friend Daniel Pesina asked him if he could take part in the game Mortal Kombat and Daniel told him about it and he said "As long as we have fun I will do it".

Ho Sung came out in the first Mortal Kombat game in a Bruce Lee style black Kung Fu pants (Trousers), White Sneakers (Trainers) and he had short hair. He already had the short hair from Dunken Master 2 with a suite he has two different suits one suite that is blue blazer and trousers with a pinkie purple tie I don't know lol and another one with black blazer and trousers and black tie.

Honestly Ho Sung Pak is my most favourite Liu Kang in games and I always say even though there has been some good Liu Kang actors for the game no one could beat Ho Sung Pak he is the games Chosen one.

Fun Fact: Both Ho Sung Pak and Robin Shou met in Hong Kong. So when ever you hear Robin Shou saying he knows the original Liu Kang, he knows Ho Sung Pak from Hong Kong.

What I like & dislike about the 6 Boukenger Characters?

Sakura Nishihori

What I like about Sakura Nishihori is that yes she has courage and always has the eye on the Preciouses. She will do anything to find or save the Precious or her friends. She was a former self-defence force, and she was raised as ab elite of combat. She doesn't stop or let anything happen she keeps on going till she solves it. I also like her friendship with Satoru Akashi.

What I dislike about her? Well it's hard to say because she is very talented in her own ways. So I pretty much got nothing to dislike about her.

Natsuki Mamiya

What I like about Natsuki is that she very joyful and loves to make everyone happy. She is your sort of Kawaii Yellow girl. She sort of like your Little Miss Sunshine but more of a jumpy one. Always smiling at everything and will fight with her friends against the enemies. She also loves helping her friends and everyone else when they are in a struggle, I also like doing that as well to make the situation much easier it's like we like to problem solve with out maths lol.

What I don't like about Natsuki? This may sound harsh but she can get into trouble without thinking straight which I used to have that problem when I was young so we can relate to that. But she falls into way too many traps and I think that's a struggle with someone who has a very open personality like Natsuki.

Satoru Akashi

What I like about Satoru Akashi? Satoru is a brilliant Chief who never gives up and keeps trying. He is also known as The Fiery Adventurer always loves to go adventuring for treasures (Preciouses). Satoru is an amazing leader for the team and has a calm expression to the team. He was once a Treasure-hunter known as the "Immortal Fang". But the tragic deaths of his partners Kyoko and Shirou in a blaze and trapped made him retired but only to hired by SGS.

What I dislike about him? Well I can't say because he has such a bold heart and a steel soul to all his team mates.

Souta Mogami

What I like about Souta Mogami? Souta has a very soft spot. An solid heart and a brilliant mindset. He is amazing at technology and does a lot of coding like I did in college, so he specialist in personal computers and digital technology. He is an ex spy, so in the team he is the information expert of the team. He has a love postion on some of the women and is pretty much has a thing where he has a lot of romantic love inside his blood.

What I dislike about Souta? I didn't like the evil version to him. He nearly killed Natsuki and he was disrespectful. But that was an episode where there was the good Souta and the evil Souta.

Masumi Inou

What I like about Masumi Inou?

It's hard to describe Masumi Inou is pretty much makes me think of a metal head by style but he's pretty much someone who will be friends to anyone but kind of have two personality.

What I dislike about Masumi Inou. He can be very cocky and selfish. He also can be very Jealous sometimes.

Eiji Takaoka

What I like about Eiji Takaoka? I don't just like him I love him. He has brave personality and always fighting for his life. He may not be able to ignore the past straight away but then he does at the end. I love his hair with the mix of the brown and while makes it so lush. The way he eats as well it totally me with chocolate bar sometimes.

No bother saying what I dislike about him because he is amazing and love Eiji a lot. The only thing I didn't like is him faking his death once scares me.

Out all the Team I have my top 3 favourite members.

Satoru Akashi - Bouken Red

Soya Mogami - Bouken Blue

Eiji Takaoka - Bouken Silver
