Liu Yunfei

Liu Yunfei (Chinese: 劉 雲飛; Pinyin: Liú Yúnfēi; Japanese: 劉 雲飛 Ryū Yunfei), also known just as Yunfei, is a character introduced in Samurai Shodown V. In their commentary for fans, it was one of the director's request to make another overseas character. During his designing process, they were afraid of making him too similar to Chinese actor, Chow Yun-Fat. Since they were already making a "new young lady" (Mina), Yunfei was eventually modeled to be the "cool old guy".

Story
He lived at one point in 800 A.D. with his wife. Desiring to gain more power, he made a deal with a being calling himself "The Dark Emperor" and apparently becomes immortal due to an evil entity. However, he went insane and berserk until he was sealed in a boulder by his students, Enja and Suija. A millennium later, he is freed due to the entity leaving him to possess someone else. Wanting to redeem himself, he tracks down the entity's source with intents to exorcise it. In his ending, the entity is found in Gaoh and it begins to overwhelm its host. In order to help Gaoh, Yunfei takes possession of the monster's body and urges the free Gaoh to slay the demon. He is struck down and is reunited with his wife (presumably in heaven).

Personality
Haunted by his past, Yunfei became a honorable man, seeking to the destroy the Dark Emperor for redemption.
