Tung Fu Rue

Tung Fu Rue (タン・フー・ルー or 糖 胡芦, Tan Fū Rū) is a character who debuted in the fighting game Fatal Fury. He is a master of the Hakkyokuseiken and instructed Geese Howard & Jeff Bogard, Terry & Andy's father.

Story
The legendary master of Hakkyokuseiken, Tung Fu Rue was the former master of both the noble Jeff Bogard and the power hungry Geese Howard after he retired as a fighter himself. But before that, Tung Fu Rue also taught the way of the chi to Terry Bogard and Andy Bogard. Tung also entered the 1991 edition of The King of Fighters tournament held by Geese, but was eventually defeated.

Personality
Tung is wise and calm, always thinking twice before he acts. He is always eager to help those of good will.

Fighting Style
Tung Fu Rue's fighting style is listed as Hakkyokuseiken, but the three known Hakkyokuseiken users featured as fighting game characters (Tung Fu Rue, Geese Howard and Terry Bogard) have very different fighting styles. Hakkyokuseiken is a school that teaches the way of the Chi, not a fighting style.

It's implied that Tung fights with Kung Fu moves.
