Guan Xing

Guan Xing (rōmaji: Kan Kō) is one of Guan Yu's sons and is thought to be Guan Ping's younger brother. Historically, he succeeded his father after his death. Zhuge Liang held high hopes for him and, after Ma Liang was killed in battle, deemed him one of his possible successors while Guan Xing was in his twenties. His activities after this are vague and he is written to have died several years later from unknown causes. Romance of the Three Kingdoms glorifies a fictional kinship between him and Zhang Bao.

Prior to his playable Dynasty Warriors appearance, he was a Shu NPC since the series's second title. His Dynasty Warriors counterpart also has an image song titled Heart Beat.

Dynasty Warriors
Guan Xing appears in several of his father, older brother, and uncles' campaigns. He often works together with Zhang Bao in several instances. In Dynasty Warriors 4, both men are portrayed as the living legacies of their fathers as they bravely defend the bridges leading to Cheng Du.

For his playable appearance, he teams up with Zhang Bao during Shu's northern campaigns.

Warriors Orochi
In the Warriors Orochi series, he is one of Liu Bei's guards while his father and uncle were away. He continues to fight for Shu.

Development
Guan Xing was adapted to be a playable character mainly to complete the Guan family. Developers also wanted to have a character to exploit the fictional aspects for Zhang Bao and Guan Yinping. They believe that he fulfills many roles by interacting with his friends and family.

Personality
A quiet and introspective youth, he is considered to be a genius worthy of Zhuge Liang's respect.
