Xu Zhu



Xu Zhu (rōmaji: Kyō Chō) is one of Cao Cao's retainers who was renowned for his strength. He was known as a profound yet quiet general who moved his lord with his loyalty. Known as a simple-minded giant yet fierce in battle, his nickname is "Tiger Fool" (虎痴). His nickname was so famous it often substituted for his actual name. Soon after his recruitment, Cao Cao historically praised him to be the Fan Kuai of their era. Romance of the Three Kingdoms is famous for claiming that his strength matched Dian Wei and heralds him as one of Cao Cao's bravest generals.

His Dynasty Warriors incarnation is 25 years old and his height is 184 cm (a little over 6'). Fans voted him to reach sixty-first place in Gamecity's Dynasty Warriors 7 character popularity poll. The English localization for this series misspells his name as Xu Zhu.

A genderswapped version of him named Hu Zhi (虎稚) appears in Kessen II. Her namesake is Xu Zhu's nickname, Tiger Fool. Hu Zhi's height is 190 cm (close to 6'3").
