Gen

Gen is a character from Capcom's Street Fighter series of fighting games.

According to his official biography, Gen was born in China, with no date given (possibly the late 1930s). He stands 166 cm and weighs 61 kg. His blood type is O. He is a traditional Chinese pharmacist, and likes meat buns and Chinese poetry. He dislikes most people.

Gen knew Chun-Li's father, and he briefly trained her. Gen's Ansatsuken (Assassin Fist) incorporates many Kung Fu style, such as Mantis, Crane, Bear, and Tiger. Gen also owned a restaurant called Genhanten.

Gen entered the first World Warrior tournament to find worthy opponents. When he did not, he went back to the streets of China. Later, he found that he was dying from leukemia. Unwilling to go out on his back, he went out and fought members of Shadoloo, hoping to find a worthy foe to fight to the death, but he could not. When he heard of Akuma, he sought him out. When Akuma grabbed him with the Shun Goku Satsu, Gen emptied his heart and mind, and thus the killer attack missed him. When Gen struck Akuma with his Zan'ei shadow fist, Akuma was unaffected. As they battled, Akuma realized that Gen was ill, and broke off the fight.

Insulted, Gen pursued Akuma until they fought for the final time, to the death. At some point, he trained Yun and Yang Lee, the nephews of his friend Lee.
