Chief Dorai

Description

Here's something I drew based off of memory. This is of Gisaburo Sugii's take on Chun-Li's father, Chief Dorai. Now, its worth mentioning that Chun-Li's father was never given an official name or identity. At least not officially. And we don't really learn much about him except that he was killed by Bison, which is the main reason why Chun-Li holds a personal grudge against the dictator. But Chief Dorai is only one of MANY interpretations of Chun-Li's father in the media since the character was never really given an identity or development in fiction. All we're ever told is that Bison killed him, which triggered Chun-Li's lust for revenge. In the 1994 animated movie, we saw a brief flashback of Chun-Li's father falling to his death off a tall building. The American cartoon, Chun-Li's father was depicted as a stereotypical Chinese kung-fu guy who fought against Bison, and lost.

As for Dorai, he was Chun-Li's father in the 1995/1996 animated TV series, "Street Fighter II V", which was an alternate telling of the story of Ryu and Ken during their teen years. Dorai was the chief of the Hong-Kong Police Department, and was friends with Ryu and Ken. And what's interesting is that not only did Dorai tutor his daughter in martial arts, but he was also a mentor to Fei-Long. Though, the name Dorai sounds more like a Japanese name than a Chinese name. As you would expect, Chun-Li and Fei-Long were very close to Dorai, and they loved him very much. Ryu and Ken also had great respect for him. Half way through the series, Dorai was attacked by Cammy, who sent him hurling to his death off a hotel balcony. Dorai was presumed dead, which left Fei-Long in a deep state of shock and sorrow. But it was later revealed that Dorai survived his ordeal, but he was in a coma in the hospital. As far as I know, Dorai's true fate is uncertain. Because by the end of the series, we're never told if he survived or if he died. So basically, he remains in a coma for the rest of the series, leaving his fate open to the interpretation of the audience.
