"I am Hak Foo, the last human you will ever lay eyes upon."
— Hak Foo

Hak Foo is an Enforcer of the Dark Hand, replacing Tohru after he defected at the end of Season 1.

Appearance[]

HakFoo

Hak Foo, also known as The Black Tiger, is a rather tall and muscular man. He appears to be a foot taller than Jackie, but slightly shorter than Tohru. He has spiked, red hair and with a slight widow's peak, a thin mustache and beard, and habitually wears a blue muscle shirt and jeans and a brown buckled belt and brown boots and brown wrist bands. He wore a blue vest and red pantaloons and green sock and blue Kung Fu Martial Arts Tai Chi Shoes in his first appearance, and when he joined the Dark Hand, had a costume change. It is reveald in Queen of the Shadowkhan that he wears mint green boxers.

Personality[]

A bombastic, loud and outspoken personality, Hak Foo demonstrates a big ego, a short temper, and overconfidence to match; thus, he is very condescending to minors and eager to pick any chance for a fight. But on one occasion in Season 2, where Jade had gotten hold of a demon archive and the Shadowkhan appeared, he was surprised when they turned on him and instead defended Jade.

Because of his abilities and mannerisms, he often either impresses or intimidates others, and is shown to be much more capable than Finn, Chow and Ratso during their duties. Hak Foo is also more loyal to his current master to the extent that he was happy to live as Daolon Wong's slave because of the power and purpose it gave him. Because of this, Hak Foo may come off at times as not particularly bright. When Shendu tried to fool his siblings into thinking a phone book he was holding was a spell book to help free them, Hak Foo loyally handed him the phone book because he hadn't gotten on to the fact that Shendu was lying to them.

However, the Enforcers are not afraid to mock him when things do not go his way, such as when he is first defeated as a Dark Chi Warrior and ends up in "loserville" with the other three, or when Chow first encounters his tiny Shadowkhan minions in Season 4.

He can be petty at times, as he repeatedly grumbles angrily about not being able to wear an Oni mask, and indeed when he finally does get to wear one, he is furious as his Shadowkhan tribe are notably diminutive and unimpressive.

He displays sarcasm occasionally; snarking at Tohru asking him to repeat one of his outlandish animal metaphors in battle, and sneering at Chow for using the Monkey Talisman to turn Ratso into a walrus of all things during a tense situation.

History[]

Season 1[]

Hak Foo first appears in The Dog and Piggy Show, after Tohru has just failed another mission to secure Shendu's Dog Talisman and destroyed the magical device used to detect them in the process. In order to get the work done more efficiently, Valmont hires Hak Foo (who has been working as a freelancer then) to recover the Pig Talisman from Bavaria, with Tohru for supervision. Tohru quickly grows resentful of Hak Foo's role and his condescending manner, but acted along. During his first encounter with Jackie Chan, Hak Foo manages to get the better of him, but he is subsequently trashed by Uncle, who was in possession of the Dog Talisman. He manages to defeat Uncle in the end, but re-encounters him again as both groups close in on the Pig Talisman. Hak Foo is the first to discover the Pig's power (namely firing fire-blasts from his eyes) and uses it in a technique he dubs "Heat Beam Eye-blast". Unfortunately, the power of heat beam eyes led to his defeat, as he and Tohru get literally crashed down, while the Chans escaped with the talisman.

Season 2[]

After Shendu's first defeat, Valmont hires Hak Foo on a permanent basis as a lieutenant and field leader to the Enforcers following Tohru's defection. He continued to work for Valmont when he is possessed by Shendu's spirit. But after the eighth door was sealed, Hak Foo leaves and becomes a freelancer again.

Hak Foo Extra Arms Grow07

In Shrink Rap, he encounters the Chans again when he tries to steal the Armbands of Shiva, which make him grow two additional arms. In an attempt to get rid of him, Jade tries a Disappearing Spell on him, but accidentally shrinks both Hak Foo and Jackie instead, due to improperly casting the spell. Both Jackie and Hak Foo end up the size of ants and a melee right in Tohru's ear canal. Luckily, both combatants are expelled before the spell is reversed, and after returning to normal size, Hak Foo tries to attack Jade this time - only for her to shrink him once more and traps him inside a jar.

Season 3[]

Hak Foo as Zhen.

In Season 3, Hak Foo is transformed a Dark Chi Warrior by Daolon Wong when Finn, Ratso and Chow have proven themselves too incompetent once more, and is the only one of the Enforcers completely comfortable with the change. He initially fought against Daolon Wong in order to acquire the Ox Talisman for himself, but was quickly subdued and made to work for Wong after he impressed him with his fighting skills.

As a Dark chi warrior his already formidable powers are increased to massive levels. He become strong enough to cause craters and earthquakes and can leap so high he vanishes from view, and is so durable Tohru drops a huge rock on top of him, and it breaks over his head harmlessly. He was only defeated by uncle using the super strength of the Ox Talisman.

Hak Foo returns when Daolon Wong summons him to do battle against Shendu after the "Noble Dragon" betrayed him. He was disappointed to be reverted to human form by Uncle.

Season 4[]

In Season 4, Hak Foo aided Tarakudo in recovering the Oni Masks with the other Enforcers. There was a running joke in the season where Hak Foo wanted to possess a mask, but it always ended up on someone else's face. When he finally obtained a mask, he summoned the Mini Khan, to his frustration. They later proved to be deadly as they could eat shadows, which would permanently render the victim unconscious (unless the mask was removed from his face), as well as cause them to grow much larger. After losing the mask, he is not seen until the final episode of the series finale.

Season 5[]

In Season 5, Hak Foo made his last appearance and helped the J-Team and the other Enforcers in the final battle against Drago. At that point, he was broke from never receiving payment from the evil forces he worked for and needed some kind of money. As he stated, "Hungry Gopher Digs Hole". At the end of the episode, it seems that he and the other Enforcers have switched to the good side for good.

Powers and Abilities[]

Hak Foo is a formidable martial artist with peak physical condition. He's strong enough to break holes through brick or stone walls and push off the much larger Tohru. He's as fast and agile as Jackie and able to jump much higher than him.

Hak Foo's physical toughness is also remarkable, as he never seems to be seriously injured when he ends up in painful situations. For example, in his initial appearance, he falls from a high tower on boxes and Tohru, who weighs 480-pounds, fell on him. In Jade Times Jade, he tried to break the indestructible Pan'ku Box with his head, but only managed to receive a red mark on his forehead. In Black Magic, he's thrown through a wall to the ocean and he merely swims ashore.

Hak Foo is a very skillful and brawny fighter, and a dangerous opponent to all who face him.

Hak Foo has the habit of making up and shouting colorful metaphorical phrases whenever he commences an attack or a special action. One of his most commonly used catchphrases, for example, is "Angry crow takes flight!" whenever he makes a leaping attack with arms outstretched. On very rare occasion he changes tactics by shouting one phrase and executing a different move, but usually he prefers the most direct approach, which makes his tactics somewhat predictable. He even gives animal themed metaphors during non-combat situations, for example, when waking up he yells "slumbering bear greets the dawn!" When running away from something, he says "bunny flees from vicious jackals." Even though his attack style is predictable, it is also adaptable, depending on the situation a new attack can be made at a moment's notice. For example, when fighting Jackie in space in the episode Shanghai Moon, he started to yell "Tiger prowls-," but ended up saying "through pudding?" when he moved far too slowly. He also used this deceptively once; when he was unable to best the Dog Talisman-powered Uncle, he fooled him into thinking he would attack with his foot only to use his fist and knock him back successfully (a blow that would have otherwise killed him if for not the talisman).

Hak Foo is the only enforcer that does not fight with a weapon. Unlike Chow, Ratso, and Finn, who also use a variety of weapons both as enforcers for Valmont and as Dark Chi Warriors for Daolon Wong, Hak Foo has never used any weapons on either occasion. But in Shrink Rap he briefly uses a stick as a quarterstaff. He rarely uses Talisman magic in a fight because he considers himself to be so strong that he does not need to use them. However, he will use the Talismans if angered to the point of using them.

When transformed into a Dark Chi Warrior, Hak Foo's physical abilities with enhanced to extreme levels, showing himself capable of creating miniature tornadoes and turning into a living meteor with pure physical power alone. His durability was also increased to where Tohru dropping a massive rock on his head, a tactic that would've destroyed the other warriors, didn't even leave a scratch. It ultimately required the power of the Ox Talisman to overpower him.

When he wore the mask of the eighth Oni General, he possessed the ability to summon the Mini Khan

Aside from his martial arts, Hak Foo knows how to fly a helicopter and a plane.

Trivia[]

  • It is likely that his appearance is reference/spoof of "Super Gotenks" from Dragon Ball Z, as well as "Kraven the Hunter" from The Amazing Spider-Man comics, which would explain why he names his attacks.
  • In the episode Shrink Rap, Hak Foo describes Jackie and Tohru as his "two greatest enemies". This suggests that Hak Foo has come to despise Tohru, or at least resents him. The reason for this is never explicitly specified, however.
    • It could be that Hak Foo is still bitter about Tohru costing him his victory against Jackie, Uncle, & Jade near the end of the episode The Dog and Piggy Show.
    • Alternatively, as a martial artist (and a conceited one at that), it is possible that Hak Foo despises anyone who could potentially match him in combat. Given Tohru's considerable size and strength, it would make sense that he considers Tohru very capable of challenging his remarkable fighting skills, and Tohru has shown to beat him in many occasions such as in The J-Team and And He Does His Own Stunts.
  • During his time as a Dark Chi Warrior, he is the only one without a unique weapon as well as being an original Dark Chi Warrior with him taking as the possession.
  • He is the only Enforcer to not be affiliated with Drago at any point.
    • Ergo, this also makes him the only enforcer not to be turned into a humanoid dragon.
    • Even Valmont briefly attempted to enlist as becoming one of Drago's humanoid dragons but was immediately turned down.
  • A running gag in Season 4 is that whenever Hak Foo is about to put on an Oni Mask, someone else takes it from him and puts it on themselves.
  • Hak Foo's only appearance in Season 5 is in the series finale. By this time, he has officially reformed along with his fellow enforcers.
    • He is also the only enforcer to assist the J-Team against Drago's demons in battle.
  • For his initial appearance he was voiced by Jim Cummings, and by John DiMaggio for all subsequent appearances. Cummings uses a slightly more gravely and harsh voice for the character.
