List of Disney's Mulan characters

[1] Fa Zhou (voiced by Soon-tek Oh, portrayed by Tzi Ma in the live-action film)[2] is a war veteran who is Mulan's father and Li's husband and, though strict, values his family and their honor.

Fearing that Zhou is risking his life after having seen him collapse during sword practices, Mulan decides to enlist in his stead and he consoles Li after she leaves.

In Mulan, Shang is appointed as an army captain by his father, a general, and befriends Ping after she saves his life.

In video games, Shang appears in Kingdom Hearts II in the world Land of Dragons, reprising his role from Mulan.

[5] In the 2020 film, the character of Li Shang was dropped in response to the MeToo movement, due to the nature of a military conscript having a relationship with a commanding officer.

Yao, Ling and Chien-Po are recruits in the army who train alongside Mulan and, after learning that she is a woman, aid her in stopping the surviving Huns by disguising themselves as concubines.

After the princesses admit that their feelings are mutual and that they do not want to marry the princes, despite their duty, Mulan decides to offer herself to the royal family instead.

Yao, Ling, and Chien Po appear in Kingdom Hearts II as supporting characters in the world The Land of Dragons, reprising their roles from Mulan.

At the carnival, when fireflies accidentally set off firecrackers that hit Ling, she laughs at his misfortune, but he thinks it is cute.

In Mulan (2020), Cricket (portrayed by Jun Yu) is a young soldier who joins the ranks of the Chinese army.

Feeling that two sidekicks would overcrowd the story, the animators decided on a green two-headed dragon, which evolved into Mushu's final design.

[8] Around the time when the music of the film was to be created, the songwriters had written a song for Mushu, in which he assured Mulan that he would be there to help her.

He has the body of a snake, the horns of an elk, the claws of an eagle, and the face of a camel, resembling a legendary dragon found in Chinese art around the time.

Initially, he is unsuccessful at using this ability, but masters it in time to stop Shan Yu's falcon, Hayabusa, from alerting the Huns to Li Shang's presence.

When Mulan runs away from home, the ancestors, knowing that her being exposed will lead to the disgrace of the Fa family, send the Great Stone Dragon to retrieve her and Mushu to awaken it.

However, after Shang's apparent death, his guilt leads him to sacrifice his job to save Mulan after she agrees to an arranged marriage.

[15] Cri-Kee (voiced by Frank Welker) is a lucky cricket who Grandmother Fa gives to Mulan while preparing to meet the matchmaker.

[16] Hayabusa (voiced by Frank Welker) is Shan Yu's pet saker falcon, who acts as his master's eyes and ears from a distance.

In video games, Hayabusa appears in Kingdom Hearts II during the boss battle against Shan Yu.

[17] In the 2020 film, Hayabusa is replaced by Xianniang (portrayed by Gong Li), a sorceress allied with Bori Khan who can transform into a hawk.

Mushu and Cri-Kee later request his help to convince Chi-Fu to let Shang join the Imperial Army, but he declines due to not wanting to be involved.

Despite this, he has pride in his army and possesses a sense of honor, as he refuses to avoid the Imperial troops and takes them head-on despite knowing that they are better trained and equipped than his men.

After Li Shang's recruits complete their training, Hayabusa acquires a doll from a village in the Tung Shao Pass and, after inspecting it, deduces that the Imperial Army is waiting for them.

However, Mulan takes control of Li Shang's cannon and causes an avalanche that kills most of his army, though he and Hayabusa, along with a handful of his most elite warriors, survive.

The finale would have involved Shan Yu's ghost army fighting against Mulan and her allies, including the Fa family ancestors.

In video games, Shan Yu appears in Kingdom Hearts II as the main antagonist and final boss in the first visit to the world Land of Dragons.

This version is a skilled warrior of Rouran descent who allies with Xianniang and seeks to avenge his father's death by killing the Emperor.

After Shan Yu is defeated, the emperor, though angry that Mulan impersonated a soldier, thanks her for saving China and offers her a position on his council, which she declines to be with her family.

[19] Chi-Fu (voiced by James Hong) is a member of the Emperor's council and advisor to Li Shang, who refuses to allow the recruits to join the battle against the Huns and serves as a minor antagonist of the film.

At the end of the film, as the Emperor praises Mulan for defeating Shan Yu and saving China, he tells Chi-Fu to arrange her for membership in his council.
