Lei Wulong (雷 武龍(レイ・ウーロン) Rei Ūron?, pinyin: Léi Wǔlóng) is a fictional character from the Tekken fighting game series. Tekken 2 introduces him as a respected police officer who puts countless criminals behind bars. The game goes on to detail his investigation of Mishima Zaibatsu's illegal hunting and trading of protected species. He continues to fight against Mishima Zaibatsu in Tekken 3, 4, 5, and 6. He also appears in other Tekken media, as a playable character in DLC for Street Fighter X Tekken and several non-canonical Tekken games. Lei is a homage to Jackie Chan, as the latter's period kung fu films heavily influence the former's fighting styles. Critics have received the character positively.
During Tekken 2 and Tekken 3, Lei is a respected police officer (dubbed Super Cop) who puts countless criminals behind bars. He investigates Mishima Zaibatsu's illegal hunting and trading of protected animals during Tekken 2 and fights Bruce Irvin, a former cop and his former comrade who works for Kazuya Mishima. Lei defeats Bruce, who escapes in a plane that crashes. He discovers the crash is staged and doubts Bruce's supposed demise.
After the third tournament, Lei continues his job as a crime investigator. However, his reputation wanes because his girlfriend dumps him for his assistant and he has failed to solve several crimes. When he discovers a syndicate will send assassin Nina Williams to assassinate professional boxer Steve Fox, he sets out to stop her to restore his reputation by joining The King of Iron Fist Tournament 4. He tracks down Nina and prevents her from killing Steve, but she escapes through a window. Upon chasing after Nina, he has her at gunpoint, but Steve intervenes and saves Nina by tackling Lei to the ground. However, Lei stops the organization that sent Nina and becomes famous.
