Liu Kang, a Shaolin Monk and chosen Earthrealm Warrior is the main protagonist of the first Mortal Kombat and becomes the champion after defeating the evil sorcerer Shang Tsung. Little did he know what would await him shortly after this tournament.
The actor of Liu Kang in the first two Mortal Kombat games was Ho-Sung Pak a Korean-American martial artist, actor, and stuntman who gave Liu Kang the perfect look as the young Asian fighter who has to save our world. Liu Kang became the first fighting game character based on Bruce Lee, but unlike other characters like Fei Long in Street Fighter or Marshall Law in Tekken, the Liu Kang character saw a big development over the years, from a Bruce Lee clone to a more unique design than the other mentioned characters. Only his voice during special attacks is still a reminder of who he is based.
Liu Kang based on Ho-Sung Pak from MKI was drawn in June 2012 as part of the 2nd Round for the Mortal Kombat Art Tribute by Bariarti a hobbyist and Game Art HQ contributor for multiple art collaborations from the UK
