Kung Jin is the younger cousin of the Earthrealm hero Kung Lao. When Kung Lao was killed in the war against Outworld, Kung's family's fortunes took a turn for the worse. He journeyed to the U.S. and became a thief. An encounter with Raiden changed Jin's outlook, and he joined the Shaolin Monks. Now a member of Johnny Cage's secret Special Forces offshoot, Jin's streetwise past gives him extra insight into the minds and motivations of those who would harm Earthrealm.

For his role in saving Earthrealm, Kung Jin's family created a statue in his likeness, for inclusion in Raiden's revered collection.
But Kung Jin's thoughts were with one no longer accepted by his family: Kung Lao.
Kung Jin set out to locate his cousin--and found him in the Netherrealm.
Raiden believed Kung Lao's tortured soul was forever trapped without Quan Chi's magic to free him.
But Kung JIn knew the Shaolin were stronger than any sorcerer's spell.
He vowed to help Kung Lao fight off the evil that had remade him.

We had been playing around with the idea of an archer character early in pre-production, and when we found out we needed a relative for Kung Lao in the story, we knew he would be a good fit.

Kung Jin is the black sheep of his family. Rather than becoming a monk like Kung Lao, he breaks away and becomes a thief, living on his own by his wits and his bow. His look is inspired by the nomadic archers of Mongolia with layers of leather, fur, and rough woven fabrics making up his costume.

He wears his prime costume in the current timeline in the story when he's accepted his role as a hero, so he looks more like a warrior than a thief. He wears more armor and his palette has more earth tones than his alternate thief costume, which gives him more of a stealthy appearance.

Once we knew that he needed a magical bow we designed something more substantial that could be used as either a staff or a bow.
