[edit] Story
Lau is the father of Pai Chan, a leading Chinese chef and master of the legendary Koen-Ken (Tiger Swallow Fist) style. A quiet man, he embodies the air of resourecfulness and skill only seen in those skilled in the Koen-Ken style. His cold appearance belies a gentle nature. He achieved one of his life ambitions when hew was awarded the Grand Prix at the world's most renowned competition for Chinese chefs. As a perfectionist by nature, he enters the World Fighting Tournament to achieve mastery in another craft—at the cost of abandoning his daughter. He was the strongest contender and victor of the First World Tournament. This made him happy as his martial arts school was looking for a new successor and the requirement was for him to win the Tournament. After the events of the First Tournament, he retreated to the mountains to train and develop new techniques to improve his ultimate art.
Shortly after losing to Akira in the previous tournament by the tiniest of margins, Lau received word that his restaurant was in a dire financial situation. For a while, Lau returned to its kitchen in an attempt to revive his once famous restaurant. When he received an invitation to the 3rd tournament, Lau left the kitchen in the hands of his best apprentice, and began the preparations for his journey. It is said a thin smile appeared on his lips...
In the last tournament, Lau lost to Kage. Dejected, he went back to push his skills to another level. However, he finds out that he has a rare illness that cannot be cured. He then decides there must be a successor to his skills. However, he has been unable to find a proper successor. When he hears of the Fourth World tournament, he decides to join the tournament, hoping to find a suitable candidate.
Lau was unable to win the Fourth World Fighting Tournament, but he found a worthy successor to his Ko'en-Ken style - Lei-Fei. Lei-Fei thirsted for strength, and was obedient to his new master. As they trained, however, Lei-Fei suddenly turned on him, and the weakening survived only because of Pai's sudden appearance. Lau realized that the bond between father and daughter was there, inspite of everything. But with death fast approaching, there was nothing that he could do for his daughter. True to the way he had lived his life, he disappeared. One day, an invitation to the Fifth Tournament arrived at what he had thought was a secret hideaway. He is now ready to face the last fight of his life...
