Chin was reknown many years ago as a very skilled warrior and an expert martial artist. However, during the pass of the years, Chin's physique has deteriorated, and from being a well-built warrior, Chin became a midget, disaligned old man. Chin now enjoys the company of his wife, and is constantly submerged into smoking his pipe and drinking "sake" (Japanese alcohol drink based on rice). However, Chin's fashion for "sake" is so high, that Chin has the bad habit of getting drunk very often...even when it's time to fight!

While enjoying a moment of peace and tranquility, Chin was met by a little boy. The boy had heard much about Chin, and he would feel honored if Chin would teach him. Under the dizzying effects of the "sake", Chin accepts the boy as his student, and when Chin finally realized what he did, he had no other choice but to keep his promise. Chin then teaches the boy named Sie Kensou, and is surprised that Kensou is a host of incredible psychic powers, while Chin himself masters himself in the art of the Drunken Monkey, a fighting style which tends to be very confused and mortal, since the opponent is lead into believing that the fighter is drunk, and is then nailed by several martial arts moves.

Kensou grew to be a spirited young man, and Chin was so revitalized by the attitude of Kensou, that he found spirit once again to keep on fighting. Much like the son he never had, Kensou and Chin always wandered together around China and other countries around the Asian area, in order to keep their training constant. One day, both traveled to Japan in a training journey. They soon found a competitor in a form of a bulky man. While Chin just sat by and smoked his pipe, Kensou had to deal with the strongman alone. However, both did not count on the help of a ceratin somebody, who blew the big bully away. Both turned around to see a girl in a Japanese school uniform. She introduced herself as Athena Asamiya, fighter of justice! Athena wanted both Kensou and Chin to help her against the crime in town, and both accepted, but Chin was reluctant until he saw Kensou's inmediate interest in Athena. Seeing how his boy became a young man, Chin considered it to be fun, and that he would tag along awhile.

The trio, quickly to be known as the Psycho Soldiers (mostly, because Athena and Kensou possesed psychic powers), made a lot of remarkable feats around Japan, thwarting crime wherever it would surge. Chin, however, did not participate too much in the fights: he was happy just training the both youngsters, and was proud of their evolution as fighters. Being a follower of the old rules of fighting, Chin induced Athena and Kensou the principles of the true meaning of fight, and what can somebody take from the fights.

In 1994, the team was invited to the first King of Fighters tournament which introduced the team battle concept. Chin once again accompanied the youngsters, and demostrated his skillful fighting style. However, sometimes, the "sake" reached up to Chin's head, and then you really wouldn't know if Chin was fighting seriously, or if he was just fooling around! However, Chin was never blind at the evil at work in every tournament, so that's why before every tournament, Chin always trains Athena and Kensou, as well as himself, very hard to be able to face the evil forces. Chin soon recognized the power of Orochi at work, and warned the teenagers. All three proposed to fight the evil power to the end.

However, since the fights of the Psycho Soldiers have become so popular, thousands of fans gathered around the group. Seeing this, Chin feared the young children would stray from the real sense of battle. So, told them not to enter the King of Fighters tournament in 1997. However, a fan letter from a certain Kaori to Athena cheered the two young fighters very much, and Chin had no other option but to accept to enter as well, but admiring the spirit of the two youngsters. They would fight together for mankind...until the end!

Almost right after the final battle with Orochi, and after peace settled somewhat, Chin encountered a little kid named Bao. He was very young...perhaps even younger than Kensou the first time he met him. Feeling pity for the child, he decided to bring him to his home with his wife, and give him shelter for awhile. However, as of late, Chin had noticed two very exceptional cases: the impressive psychic powers of Bao, and the loss of such powers from Kensou. Both curious and worried, Chin decides to train Bao in the basics of martial arts, while he tries to train Kensou in new techniques that no longer require Psycho Power. The results would soon be appreciated at the fifth King of Fighters tournament....
