Yie Ar Kung-Fu

Yie Ar Kung-Fu (イー・アル・カンフー Ī Aru Kanfū?) is a Japanese anime series based on the 1985 game of the same name created by Konami. This anime is created by Glen Murakami. This anime features poor lip-syncing and less mouth movements as in most animes.

Plot
In the memory of his deceased father, 18-year old Chinese-Japanese kung-fu warrior Oolong Murakami (written 烏龍 Wūlóng, and ウーロン Ūron in Japanese) is now entering the karate championships "YieAr Kung Fu" (Chinese: 一二功夫; pinyin: yī èr gōng fū; literally "One Two Kung Fu"; "Yie Ar" is pronounced "ee-ar") to become titled "Grand Master".

Characters

 * Oolong Murakami: The main character of the video game. He is a young kung-fu warrior who's father died during the Vietnam War but was recovered and died again. In the memory of his courageous moves, he enters "YieAr KungFu" to be titled Grand Master of Kung Fu. His catchphrase is "xiè xiè" (Mandarin Chinese for "thank you") when ever he wins, is too excited or he thanks someone. This is sometimes mistaken for the word "sushi"[who?] . He is named after series creator, Glen Murakami and is voiced by Sean Fujiyoshi, making Sean the first Nigahiga character to be the first main character.
 * Hodoken Murakami: The deceased father of Oolong. He died during the Vietnam War but was revived later but died off due to cancer. In the memory of him, Oolong entered the competition. He is voiced by Keone Young.
 * Buchu: A balding sumo wrestler who uses a leaping motion to land of Oolong. He loves eating and he does not use weapons at all to fight. He is the first opponent in the competition. Whenever he gets kicked in the crotch, his eyes bug out and he says "nǐ hǎo" (which is Mandarin Chinese for "hi" or "hello").
 * Star: The first female opponent Oolong faces. Star is a young ninja girl in a pink outfit who uses shuriken to slow Oolong down along with fast punches and kicks. She has a crush on Oolong but wishes not to admit it.
 * 'Nuncha:' A man in a yellow gi swinging nunchaku at Oolong in an effort to slow him down. He is commonly known as the original Chosen One and his gi is actually a bath towel. He speaks in poetry.
 * Pole: Pole is a short man who carries a large bo and uses it on Oolong. Pole also uses it to pole vault for extra momentum for his moves. He is short tempered and wants to win very badly.
 * Feedle: A cloner known for the ninja masting strike. Numerous enemies (or the same enemy who can replicate himself) attack from both sides of Oolong.
 * Chain: He awaits Oolong at the start of the second gauntlet. (At the end of the first one in the Commodore 64 version.) He's a large man which swings a giant chain with a claw-like attachment at the end. He is the only character in the YAKF series not to have any speaking roles.
 * Club: A retired clubber who uses bruth force to settle his ways. Club swings a giant spiked club (chúi) and bears a shield on his right arm to block most of Oolong's attacks.
 * Fan: A geisha performer who wears a cheongsam and is more feminine than Star. Fan throws steel fans at Oolong like shuriken and attacks very fiercely. The fans fall in a feather-like pattern. She speaks in fluent Japanese and also, like Star, has a crush on Oolong insulting him in Japanese.
 * Sword: Fan's over-protective brother who comes ready to pounce on Oolong with a Dao and impressive aerial moves. Like Fan, he speaks in a fluent language as well but he is capable of speaking both English and Mandarin Chinese at the same sentence.
 * Tonfun: The final opponent Oolong must face before meeting his ultimate challenger, Blues. Tonfun attacks with two tonfa and fast-paced martial arts. Oolong has to time his attacks and hope that Tonfun makes a mistake to survive. Like Pole. he is cocky but is agorant as well and wishes to kill his opponents.
 * Blues: A wizard shape-shifter who can transform into anything and anyone. He wishes to corrupt Oolong and to make him his obedient slave by transforming into a mirror image of Oolong without a shirt and to copy him move to move. Oolong has to find some weakness on Blues to win. Since none of his clothes are blue, his name could be another Bruce Lee reference, based on his first name's pronunciation when said by a Japanese speaker. Blues is also known for his dark magic.arg
