Movie
Description
Pao-Lin Huang, also known by her hero name Dragon Kid, is a young superhero who appears as a supporting character in the anime film Tiger & Bunny the Movie: The Beginning. She is a Chinese kung fu fighter who was sent by her parents from China to the city of Stern Bild to train and work as a professional hero, and she lives there apart from her family under the care of a manager and trusted guardian.
She is a teenager and among the youngest members of the city's hero lineup, and she is often described as a tomboy who prefers action, eating, and martial arts training over traditionally feminine pastimes. Despite her youth, she approaches her duties with a serious and professional attitude, though she is sometimes scolded by the older heroes for being impulsive or overeager. She tends to struggle with understanding what her parents want for her and how they feel about her, even though it is clear that she loves them and they love her in return.
Her main motivation is to live up to the opportunity her parents gave her and to prove herself as a capable hero, which drives her dedication to constant training and self-improvement. In the film, which focuses on the early activities of the heroes of Stern Bild, she takes part in the televised hero work alongside the other professional heroes, playing a supporting role in the city's public safety efforts.
Her relationship with her parents is the most significant personal thread in her story. Their decision to send her to Stern Bild shaped her entire path as a hero, but she has difficulty understanding their intentions. In one incident, she helps look after the mayor's son, who has a crush on her, and after being kidnapped by criminals targeting the boy, she comes to realize the deeper meaning behind a gift her parents had sent her and understands the love behind it. Among her fellow heroes, she works alongside veterans such as Wild Tiger, and over the course of her appearances she remains a steady member of the hero community, later partnering with other heroes as the team structure changes.
As a superpowered individual in the hero system, she is able to generate and control electricity and lightning. She combines this ability with her kung fu training and fights using a staff, which helps her channel and direct her electrical attacks. She is promoted on Hero TV under the nickname the Lightning Bolt Kung-Fu Master, and her Chinese-style hero uniform carries advertising for her sponsors, the Japanese food company Calbee and the website DMM.com.
