The franchise includes a film trilogy (Kung Fu Panda, Kung Fu Panda 2, and Kung Fu Panda 3), a series of shorts and television specials, two television shows (Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness and Kung Fu Panda: The Paws of Destiny), a series of digital comics, and multiple video games. Master Ping Xiao Po (voiced by Jack Black, Mick Wingert, and Eric Loomis) is the main protagonist of the Kung Fu Panda franchise. A kung fu fan and giant panda working at his adoptive father's noodle restaurant, Po is chosen by Grand Master Oogway as the legendary Dragon Warrior, a decision that angers Shifu and the Furious Five. When Tai Lung escapes from prison, Shifu uses food to motivate Po into mastering kung fu. He defeats Tai Lung in combat and is declared a master. In Kung Fu Panda 2, Po learns that he was adopted by Ping after Lord Shen committed genocide against the giant pandas. The end of the film reveals that Po's biological father Li Shan is still alive, and he reunites with his son in Kung Fu Panda 3. When the undead warrior Kai steals the chi of the other kung fu masters, Po and Li create an army from the remaining giant pandas. After defeating Kai, Po has a spiritual reunion with Oogway, who informs Po that his journey as the Dragon Warrior has come full circle. He returns to the mortal world with his extended family. Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness, which occurs between the first and second film, shows Po's greater development as a kung fu warrior and master after defeating Tai Lung, while the follow-up series, Kung Fu Panda: The Paws of Destiny, takes place after the events of the third film and shows Po in a mentor role to four young pandas. Po also appears in all short films and specials, as well as the video games.
