Gen was a
friend of
Chun-Li's father, and he trained her for a period of
time when she was a young girl. Gen's assassination style incorporates various
Kung Fu styles, such as Mantis, Crane, and Tiger albeit having strikes that
often targeted the opponent's vital parts hence making Gen's Kung Fu
life-threatening. Gen also owned a restaurant called Genhanten in Sendai, Japan
- where he met Ryu
for the first time. He also trained Yun
and Yang, the relatives of his old friend
Lee.
Gen entered the first World Warrior tournament to find worthy opponents. When he
did not, he went back to the streets of China. In Street Fighter Alpha 2,
he found that he was dying from leukemia. Unwilling to go out on his back, he
went out and fought members of Shadaloo, hoping to find a worthy foe to fight to
the death and kill him, but he could not. When he heard of Akuma,
he sought him out. The two fought with ferocity withstanding each others
finishing blows. The match ended with Akuma sensing Gen's illness and also
sensing him dying slowly, left him to his fate to die by the sickness. Gen
challenged Akuma again in Street Fighter Alpha 3, but although the
results of the battle are unknown, Gen did survive (it is most likely that Akuma
only fought him a fight instead of a battle to the death).
Gen, haunted by
nightmares where he is surrounded on all sides by the ghosts of those he has
killed in the past when he was still an assassin, scorns the ghosts and says
that while he is still alive, he will not succumb to the likes of them.
Reflecting on how Chun-Li has grown into a strong and admirable woman, he knows
he cannot protect her for much longer, as his time is running short. He
remembers the day when his illness allowed Shadaloo to capture her father:
cursing his body and its "infernal frailties", he vows not to let them
get away.
He joins the S.I.N. organized tournament and at some point Chun-Li finds him and
demands that he tell her all that he knows about what happened to her father.
Gen refuses and fades away, leaving her alone. When the S.I.N. base is
destroyed, Gen protects Chun-Li from the ensuing collapse, though it's not shown
how. While partially trapped under the rubble, Gen witnesses Akuma and Gouken
fight over an unconscious Ryu, internally referring to the two fighters as Life
and Death. He muses that Death is indeed strong. Impressed by what he called
their "ultimate battle" in which both men were "prepared to give
up the ghost", Gen resolves not to die until "the final battle between
Life and Death", so he returns to what he calls " my own fight to the
death".
