'''Li Shang''' is a character in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. He is the captain of the Chinese Imperial Army of [[the Land of Dragons]] sent out to defeat [[Shan-Yu]], as well as the love interest of [[Mulan]].

Some time after Sora returns to [[Destiny Islands]], Shang meets with Mulan and shares a romantic moment—until they are interrupted by [[Chien Po]], [[Yao]], and [[Ling]], who were spying on them.

Li Shang has a muscular build and is protected by {{w|Chinese armour|Chinese armor}}. The armor is predominantly black, as are his shoes, legs guards, and gauntlets. Shang wears a white shirt and grey pants under the armor, the former of which reaches his knees. His armor seems to leave his elbows and most of his thighs exposed. His jet-black hair is tied back into a topknot with red cloth and he wears a billowing red cape. Shang's sword sheath is tied to the left side of what seems to be another, grey piece of armor that covers his abdomen.

==Origin==

Li Shang made his first appearance in Disney's 1998 animated feature ''{{w|Mulan (1998 film|Mulan}}''. He is chosen by the General (his father) to train the new recruits, while the General himself takes the veteran warriors to the front lines to battle Shan-Yu. Shang's first job as Captain is to break up a fight between "Ping", Yao, and Ling. He is shown to take his job very seriously as he wants to prove to the Emperor's adviser that he can handle the position of Captain. When he finds out "Ping" is a woman he kicks her out of the army instead of killing her, because he still has some respect for her and she saved his life during Shan-Yu's attack at the mountain. Although he seemed very angry when he was dealing with Mulan being a woman, Shang was later shown helping Mulan with her plan to defeat Shan-Yu at the Imperial Palace. Together they killed Shan-Yu and after revealed their love to each other.
