Story[edit]

Kingdom Hearts II[edit]

Li Shang is the captain of the Chinese army, assigned to protect China from falling into the hands of Shan-Yu.

He is initially cold towards Ping (who is Mulan in disguise) because of "his" vast shortcomings in terms of fighting, but learns to trust "him" after "he" causes a mountain of snow to fall down on Shan-Yu and his army. However, Mushu accidentally lets the truth slip and Shang realizes that Ping is actually Fa Mulan. Though she is supposed to be sentenced to death, he spares her life.

When it turns out that Shan-Yu is alive and heading for the Imperial City, Mulan tries to warn him, but he refuses to listen until he sees the truth for himself. He then rescues The Emperor and thanks Mulan, Sora, Donald and Goofy for their help in protecting their country and ultimately defeating Shan-Yu. It is at this time when Shang discovers his romantic feelings for Mulan, but is still unable to express them properly, much to the Emperor's amusement.

Upon Sora's second visit, a black hooded man visits the Emperor and easily defeats Shang. After Mulan, Sora, Donald, and Goofy defeat the Storm Rider Heartless, Mulan becomes Shang's partner in protecting their world and their Emperor, much to their pleasure. Sora also learns from the Emperor's description that the hooded man may have been his friend Riku, which puts Shang somewhat at ease.

Some time after Sora returns to Destiny Islands, Shang meets with Mulan and shares a romantic moment—until they are interrupted by Chien Po, Yao, and Ling, who were spying on them.
