Wang Jinrei

Wang Jinrei (王 椋雷 Wáng Liángléi) was introduced in Tekken, and he has returned for every other Tekken game, except Tekken 3 andTekken 4.

In Tekken 3 and Tekken Tag Tournament, Ogre/True Ogre used some of Wang's moves (such as Wang's "Waning Moon" move). This implies that Ogre attacked him before the events of Tekken 3, but it has never been confirmed.

Wang though generally not popular with fans, and at times a joke character, has held very important roles in various tournaments. These roles are often attributed to his knowledge regarding the Mishima Zaibatsu. Though he's generally unsuccessful in the tournaments he entered (losing all but one tournament that he entered), Wang can still be considered as someone strong considering his age. He generally values respect greatly as well as holding great pride in his experience as a fighter. Due to his surname difference with his granddaughter, Xiaoyu, it can be assumed that he is the father of Xiaoyu's mother, though the statement has yet to be confirmed. Wang doesn't seem to begrudge the fact that he loses, but he feels responsible for allowing a war to occur in Tekken 6 due to his failure to defeat Jin. Wang is actually very knowledgable with his surroundings. Such examples have won him the admiration and respect of fighters such as Zafina and Lee. Aside from his granddaughter, Wang is particularly close with the Mishima Zaibatsu's founder, Jinpachi Mishima. It can be thought that the two have known each other for a long time as it was Wang who Jinpachi had written a message for. He's also very close with Lee with Lee referring to Wang respectfully as master in the Scenario Campaign while Wang refers to Lee as Chaolan. He also is very friendly with his sparring partner, Lei.

Wang is generally well known by characters for both his knowledge and experience. Lee had acknowledged Wang's experience and knowledge, and dutifully made it his obligation to bring honor back to the Mishima Zaibatsu. Jinpachi knew Wang very well and knew that only Wang could be trusted fully with the task of killing Jinpachi, and thus he sent Wang the letter in order to bait him to the fifth tournament. Wang recently has been blaming himself for the fates of different characters. He blames his own incompetence at failing to find a way to save Jinpachi while not killing him or his own failure in defeating Jin which would lead to Jinpachi's death and the Zaibatsu's declaration of war.
