Zhang Bao (Shu)


 * This article is about Zhang Bao, son of Zhang Fei. For the brother of Zhang Jiao, see Zhang Bao (Yellow Turbans).

Zhang Bao (張苞, rōmaji: Chō Hō) is one of Zhang Fei's sons; historically, little is actually known about him since records only state that he died when he was young. His younger brother, Zhang Shao, was the one who succeeded Zhang Fei. Romance of the Three Kingdoms prefers to focus on him sharing a friendship with Guan Xing as they both avenge their fathers' deaths.

Prior to his playable Dynasty Warriors appearance, he was a Shu NPC since the series's second title. He is Xingcai's older brother.

Dynasty Warriors
He is often seen with his father or one of his father's brothers. Proud of his father's legacy, he will continue to fight for Shu during its twilight years of power. He occasionally appears together with Guan Xing to defend their home. In Dynasty Warriors 4, he mimics his father's brave stand from Chang Ban, guarding one of the bridges leading to Cheng Du. In the sequel Zhang Bao has minor roles in a few battles for the Shu side. His most notable appearances are the battle of Yi Ling and the battle of Bai Di Castle. In both cases, he is an officer under Xing Cai.

In his playable appearance, Zhang Bao is a man who possesses his father's talents in war. He works together with his cousin, Guan Xing, in the northern campaigns.

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