Meet MASTER SHIFU !

Good. When you have been trained, you may eat.



Master Shifu is the student of Oogway and the trainer of the greatest warriors in China, the Furious Five. He enjoys playing his bamboo flute and is also able to use it as a striking and throwing weapon.Despite his age and limping on his left leg, which Tai Lung broke in their first battle, Shifu can move faster than any opponent. He is so strong and powerful that one or even all of the Furious Five combined cannot make him break a sweat.

Shifu's character is based on the animal called The Red Panda.The Red Panda, also called the Firefox or Lesser Panda (Latin name: Ailurus fulgens, "shining cat"), is a mostly herbivorous mammal, specialized as a bamboo feeder. It is slightly larger than a domestic cat (40 - 60 cm long, 3 - 6 kg weight). The Red Panda is endemic to the Himalayas in Bhutan, southern China, Pakistan, India, Laos, Nepal, and Burma. There is an estimated population of fewer than 2,500 mature individuals. Their population continues to decline due to habitat fragmentation.
