Description
Born in Shanghai, China, on March 16, 1966, Hang Zang-Ching came from a family of doctors. Though academically gifted, he developed a deep complex about his weight, shattering his dream of becoming a popular music idol due to constant rejection over his appearance. This societal judgment fueled his desire for a world indifferent to physical attributes, leading him to join Asakura Hao's cause around 1990.
His life changed at a zoo encounter with Shion-Shion, the spirit of a deceased giant panda killed during an escape. Bonding over shared misfortunes—Shion-Shion's lack of freedom despite fame and Zang-Ching's freedom overshadowed by self-loathing—the panda became his guardian spirit. Zang-Ching channeled Shion-Shion's power using the panda's favorite gong as his medium. Hao later taught him the Shamanic Oracle, amplifying his abilities, measured at 7,000 furyoku.
Zang-Ching's significant obesity, long eyelashes, and Fu Manchu mustache defined his appearance. He typically wore black kung fu pants, armbands, and round-framed sunglasses (later replaced with angular frames after Tao Ren broke them), appearing shirtless to display a large red stomach tattoo. In public, he donned a dark green Chinese military uniform with a red scarf and hat. Five years prior to the main events, he was heavier with lighter hair, dressed casually in items like a Hawaiian shirt and shorts.
As part of Hao's Team "Tsuki-Gumi," Zang-Ching participated in key Shaman Fight conflicts. In 1995, he managed food logistics and cautioned new recruit Bill Burton against challenging members. During the tournament, he battled opponents like Team "The Ren," mocking Horohoro and Chocolove about their lower furyoku. He later infiltrated Gandhara, stabbing their leader Sati in the back during a confrontation, an act that destabilized the faction. His combat relied on Shion-Shion's power channeled through the gong.
Zang-Ching's loyalty wavered during a mission to destroy human warships, expressing unease about targeting non-shamans. Amid dissent from teammates Peyote Diaz and Mohamed Tabarsi, he pleaded for them to stop questioning Hao, fearing consequences. Peyote abruptly killed him using the Oversoul "Grande Fantasma." Zang-Ching's spirit journeyed aboard the Soul Train within the Great Spirit. He was later revived alongside other deceased followers, except Peyote and Mohamed, whose bodies were destroyed.
After the Shaman Fight, Zang-Ching experienced burnout and aimlessness. Several years later, Tao Ren recruited him, Bill Burton, and Brocken Meyer for the Leidi Group electronics conglomerate. He rose to become a personal bodyguard for Ren, Jun Tao, and their son Men. During this time, he was present when an assailant murdered Jeanne Tao and participated in discussions about the aftermath.
