[edit] Story
Lee is Heihachi Mishima's adopted son and Kazuya Mishima's rival. From childhood, he was included in the same training (to become head of the Mishima family) as Kazuya. Of course, their combat skill is equal, but those who know his power fear the "Silver-haired Demon."
Lee lived with Heihachi as his adopted father and Kazuya as his older brother. Lee was paid a visit by Wang Jinrei, who had seen the way Kazuya and Heihachi abused and corrupted the Mishima Zaibatsu. He convinced Lee to help him bring honor back to the Empire.
[edit] Ending Animation "Treachery"
A television screen states that Lee Chaolan won The King of Iron Fist Tournament 2. Other things are shown on many television screens throughout the city, such as Nina Williams, Anna Williams, Lee's face while the words, "Thank you", can be seen, Angel, and Pac-Man. There is also a blimp with Lee's name on it floating in the sky. Then, Lee is shown in his office behind his desk. Heihachi and Kazuya are shown behind bars. Lee gives a "thumbs-down" gesture with one of his hands. Then, he moves that hand to one side of his face so that his thumb is horizontal and pointing at that side of his face. Lee smiles.
[edit] Tekken: The Motion Picture
Lee Chaolan is featured in Tekken: The Motion Picture. Lee planned on using the Tournament to test out his new experiments (Alexs) on the fighters, and to defeat Kazuya Mishima. Before hand, Lee sent Nina Williams to assassinate Kazuya, although it ended in failure. He eventually sends Anna Williams to do the job, after Nina has failed a second time. After suffering an embarrassing defeat by Kazuya's hand, Lee activates the island's self-destruct mechanism and is the first to die.

[edit] Ending Animation
While standing up, Lee Chaolan imagines beating up Kazuya Mishima and Heihachi Mishima. Then, Lee is shown grinning. This ending takes place in Jin Kazama's first Tekken Tag Tournament stage (the stage is called "Jin-A").
After he betrayed Heihachi and sided with Kazuya at The King of Iron Fist Tournament 2, Lee was expelled from the Mishima Zaibatsu.
For quite some time, thoughts of revenge consumed Lee. Eventually, he realized that it was pointless to kill an old man, who probably had only a few years left in his life at best. With that realization, Lee distanced himself from fighting and moved to a mansion in the Bahamas to lead a solitary life.
One day, he discovered a huge sell-off of G Corporation's stock online. Lee's intuition told him that something happened within the company. His intuition was correct. He hacked into their classified computer network and accessed their internal corporate communications. Lee learned that the Mishima Zaibatsu attacked G Corporation and caused significant damage to their research facilities.
He also came across information that a new life form under development by the Mishima Zaibatsu would be completed by next year. In order to complete the life form, however, it appeared that they were missing a critical component...
Oddly enough, an announcement was made for The King of Iron Fist Tournament 4 around the same time. Lee's fading passion for fighting was rekindled - along with his resentment towards the Mishima clan.
In order to prevent the Mishima Zaibatsu from discovering his true identity, Lee signed up for the Tournament online under a false name, Violet. As additional measures to mask his identity, he dyed his gleaming silver hair purple, wore a pair of sunglasses, and donned violet clothes.
[edit] Ending Animation
The "Arena" stage is shown. The crowd is cheering for Lee. Lee thanks them. Then, he says that winning the tournament was not his ultimate goal. After he says this, he says that he participated in the tournament to gather test data for Combot, and to promote its application as the ultimate fighting machine. Then, he presents Combot, who is standing near the "The King of Iron Fist Tournament 4 Final Stage" television screen, to the audience, and then he asks Combot to give them a demonstration. Combot's eyes start to glow bright red. Combot starts to walk down the stairs, but he trips and falls to the ground shortly after he starts walking. A disgusted look appears on Lee's face. A little bit of electricity comes from Combot's body as he gets up. Combot's eyes flicker. Angry, Lee says, "Damn it...". Combot starts running towards Lee as Lee goes into his fighting stance.
Text:
Lee won the tournament and finally achieved his dream of becoming the CEO of Mishima Zaibatsu.
The first Combot had a fatal bug due to its hasty development. Lee transferred the Combot development project to the Mishima Research Labs, where he spent large sums of money and gathered many brilliant engineers to develop the second prototype.
The end of the text.
A woman walks into Lee's office. She tells him that the new Combot prototype is finished. She lays a book on Lee's desk. The phrase "Combot II" can be seen on it. Lee says, "This one better work to spec." The woman tells him that combat experiments were conducted against Heihachi, and then she says that 10.23 seconds into the experiment, Combot unleashed a 50 hit combination. She finishes by saying, "Heihachi was completely helpless." Lee chuckles and says, "Excellent.", while mixing his glass of wine around. Lee is shown smiling.
[edit] Tekken 5 Manual Version
Lee entered the last tournament to defeat Heihachi. However, it was Kazuya, supposedly long dead, who defeated a confused Lee. After a failed attempt to take control of the Mishima Zaibatsu, Lee became enraged. "What? Is it Kazuya? He's always in my way!" Motivated by revenge, Lee entered the tournament.
[edit] Official Version
Heihachi Mishima's adopted son and rival of Kazuya Mishima, Lee Chaolan.
Lee had entered The King of Iron Fist Tournament in disguise, hoping to defeat Heihachi. He was quite surprised when his opponent turned out to be Kazuya Mishima, who was thought to be dead. Due to this, Lee lost his focus and was defeated.
In the confusion surrounding the death of Heihachi, Lee was scheming to take over the Mishima Zaibatsu, but was enraged when he learned that someone else had already beat him to it.
Lee, believing it was Kazuya who usurped the Mishima Zaibatsu, was vexed that Kazuya had once again stood in his way. A month later, the King of Iron Fist Tournament 5 was announced and Lee immediately decided to enter.
Lee was determined to settle the score with Kazuya in the tournament and claim the Mishima Zaibatsu.
[edit] Interludes
Stage 4: Kazuya Mishima
Lee runs into Kazuya (while at the Final Frontier) and complains about how he always stands in his way of getting the Mishima Zaibatsu. Kazuya insults Lee, saying it's a shame how stupid he is for not knowing the true nature of the Tournament. After defeating Kazuya, Lee jumps up and down happily, but manages to fall clumsily.
Stage 7: Heihachi Mishima
Lee is shocked to see Heihachi alive and well, when Heihachi tells him that he's too strong for something like that to kill him. After beating him, Lee stands over Heihachi's unconcious body, insulting him.
Final Stage: Jinpachi Mishima
Lee walks through Final Stage 2. Jinpachi (in human form) walks up behind him and says, "I'm impressed that you've made it this far. I am Jinpachi Mishima. My goal... My goal is to destroy all existence!" Shortly after Jinpachi starts to speak, Lee turns around and notices him. After he finishes speaking, Jinpachi transforms into his "Devil" form.
[edit] Ending Animation - Poolside
Some people are shown near a pool. Then, Lee is shown laying on a chair, relaxing, while a woman in a bathing suit massages one of his legs. Lee snaps his fingers. Then, Heihachi comes up to him, wearing a bathing suit, and asks, "May I be of service, Master Lee?" Apparently, Lee has made Heihachi his waiter. Lee says, "Two fingers!", while extending two of his fingers. Heihachi says, "Yes Sir!", and then he walks away. As he walks away, Heihachi mutters, "Damn that bastard...". Then, Lee says, "You should hurry. If you don't want to die..." as he picks up a remote control that is on the table next to him and presses a button on it. Many beeps come from the bow tie that Heihachi is wearing. Heihachi panics as he reminisces about the explosion at Hon-Maru. Heihachi runs away frantically while saying, "Right away Sir." Lee puts the controller back on the table that is next to him and chuckles. The woman next to him puts sunglasses on him. Lee says, "Excellent!"
[edit] Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection

Lee Chaolan's storyline is unchanged between Tekken 5 and Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection.
Lee Chaolan took part in the King of Iron Fist Tournament 5 in order to take revenge on Kazuya Mishima. However, the one who had opened the tournament was not Kazuya, but Jinpachi Mishima, and Chaolan, after learning this fact, lost interest in the tournament and returned to his home in the Bahamas.
Soon afterwards, the MFG, led by Jin Kazama brought the world to chaos, and around the same time G Corporation became a major opposition. Surprised by G Corporation's sudden military action, Chaolan, a major shareholder, conducted a private investigation with the utmost secrecy and discovered that it was Kazuya who was the real power behind G Corporation actions.
After obtaining information that Kazuya himself would take part in this tournament, Chaolan, using a shareholder's preferential treatment ticket, enters the tournament in order to get close to Kazuya.
