Tung Fu Rue is the
Chinese martial arts master who taught Jeff Bogard, Geese
Howard and Chen Sin Zan. This
tiny, elderly master of Hakkyokuseiken and Chinese Boxing can enlarge his body with the power
of his spirit, and suddenly grow muscles to become massive. He is a tribute
to
Master Roshi from the Dragon Ball series.
Although he
had trained both Jeff Bogard and Geese, he wanted Jeff to be his only
successor since he showed true discipline and was an honorable fighter. Due to
this, Geese murdered Jeff out of pure jealousy. Tung was so saddened by the
loss that he decided that he would have no more successors. Tung had entered
the 1991 King of Fighters tournament hosted by Geese, but was
eventually defeated.
In Fatal Fury
Special, he overexerted himself and is hospitalized. Afterwards, he
decides to live the rest of his life in retirement and he occasionally enters
a competition to keep in shape. Although he taught Terry
for a period of time, Tung made it a policy to refuse any other disciples. He
seems to break this in Real Bout by apparently making the Jin brothers
his apprentices. Some endings in Real Bout 2 show him taking only Chonrei
as his apprentice, with Chonshu
staying with Kim Kaphwan.
