20 years prior to the events of Kung Fu Panda, Crane had worked at the Lee Da Kung Fu University as a janitor. He dreamed of becoming a warrior, simply lacked confidence in himself due to being looked down upon by the kung fu practitioners—including the strict teacher of the academy—due to his particularly skinny build. However, 1 dark, the top student of the class Mei Ling had observed the skills which Crane used to tidy upwardly the grooming grounds. Impressed by his speed and accuracy, she convinced him to try out for the school. Surprised but encouraged, Crane trained himself every night after work until the twenty-four hour period of the tryouts arrived.

However, watching the other candidates neglect painfully in the obstacle course caused Crane to lose his nerve. When Mei Ling pointed out Crane later all the other candidates had failed, he was cruelly mocked by the instructor and the other students for his skinny legs, leading to further discouragement. The instructor set him to piece of work sweeping upward the teeth littering the floor. Crane, having given upward, accidentally wandered into the obstacle course. Though the instructor urged him to slowly step out, Crane spied the red flag at the far end of the course, which a candidate was required to capture in order to gain a place in the schoolhouse. With Mei Ling's encouragement, Crane attempted the course, and upon realizing that his skinny build actually enabled him to avoid the various traps, was filled with a newfound confidence.

The two were soon joined past Monkey and Viper, whose unique skills—along with Crane's—impressed Tigress greatly. Assertive Mantis to be the final warrior—again due to the accidental gyre switch—Tigress returned with her new friends to the Jade Palace, only for Shifu to decline them and deem Tigress a failure equally she hadn't retrieved the four warriors he had intended for her to summon. However, the 4 subsequently came to Tigress' assistance equally she faced the warrior Boar, and helped her to defeat him.

Crane and the other 5 at the Dragon Warrior Tournament

He was next shown in the Dragon Warrior Tournament. As he flapped his wings, he acquired a gust of wind to slam close the window Po had been looking through. As the first to showcase of power, he was to dodge the "Thousand Tongues of Fire" — rockets that would be hurtling toward him. Crane gracefully managed to dodge the rockets. Afterward the others had performed (aside from Tigress), he lined up with the rest of the Five when Chief Oogway announced that the Dragon Warrior was among them. He was just as surprised equally the rest when a chubby panda named Po fell out of the sky and landed in front of Oogway'southward pointing claw.

Afterward the tournament, the Five made their style over to the Preparation Hall. Crane was shown to be working on the Hall's Jade Tortoise, soon sparring with Tigress when she, also, landed on the tortoise bowl to practise boxing with him. He came up with the residual of the Five when Po started to showcase his skills, watching and flinching as Po tumbled into the training grade and failed each department. He joined in with the others that night in making fun of Po afterward as they walked towards the Pupil Billet, sarcastically remarking, "He is so mighty! The Dragon Warrior, brutal out of the heaven in a ball of burn down!" Little did he know, Po was right behind them the whole time and could hear everything they said.

When Po then tried to sneak into his room that same night, he made the floorboards creak every time he moved and, in trying to avoid that, accidentally stumbled into Crane's room while he was sleeping, waking him up. When Po awkwardly tried to start a conversation, Crane told Po, "I've had a long and rather disappointing day, so... yeah, I should probably go to sleep at present." An awkward chat ensued, during which Po accidentally kicked a hole in the material separating Crane and Monkey'south rooms, and ended with Po parting with more awkward apologies.

The Five entertained by Po's "Shifu impression"

The next 24-hour interval, Crane had to help Po become unstuck from a full-split up he had been attempting to do. He later sparred with Po, but before they could endeavor to fight, Po fell into the tortoise bowl and banged effectually for quite a bit, with Crane having jumped off and hovered in the air above him. That night, as Po was existence treated to acupuncture past Mantis and Viper, his exclamations of pain caused Crane to mess up a symbol he was painting on some parchment. He later on reminded Tigress from his room that they weren't supposed to talk about Tai Lung when she began telling Po her story, just by the end of information technology, he and Monkey had opened the door between Crane and Po's room to listen. When the Five and Po ate together that same night, Crane profoundly enjoyed Po's noodle soup, and laughed with the rest (excluding Tigress) at Po's "Shifu impression". He and the rest of the 5 were later shocked at hearing of Oogway's passing from Shifu.

When Tigress set off to become fight Tai Lung, the rest of the Five joined her to assistance. When they finally faced him in battle, Crane helped to cutting the rope span, saved Tigress from falling to her death, and managed to tied up Tai Lung with a loose rope. When Tai Lung reappeared, he took out all but Crane with swift nerve attacks, leaving simply Crane to behave the rest of the Five back to the Jade Palace.

When the Valley was evacuated, Crane was tasked with lighting the path for the villagers with a lantern equally they evacuated. He ducked with the residuum when a smash of free energy came from the eye of the village, causing his hat to fly off his head.

Crane, along with the rest of the Furious 5, was surprised when Po brought news that he was to host the sophisticated Winter Feast at the Jade Palace. Though the Five offered their help in preparing for the intense dinner, Po believed he could handle it himself, but a number of complications before long arose; among them Crane informing Po that the singer of the ring for the banquet had quit. After finding the many tasks also daunting to do himself, Po decided to call on the Furious Five for help. Crane assisted by performing a kung fu movement, using his wings to transport a shift of current of air across the table, and setting plates and dishes.

Crane, the Five, Mr. Ping, and Po pose for a portrait

When all the tasks were washed, Crane was later seated with the other kung fu masters for the Winter Feast. However, the ceremony was interrupted by Po, who told the Masters well-nigh his family traditions (mentioning his Uncle Yang's tendency of spurting noodles from his nose when he laughs, which Crane and Monkey remarked they'd like to meet), and Po left to be at the Noodle Store with his male parent on the vacation. The V understood Po's reasons for leaving, and they later joined him at the party at the restaurant.

"The Art of Balance"

Crane appears at the get-go of the comic in Po's dream, along with the remainder of the Furious Five. He and Mantis were in the centre of taunting the enemies they were facing when Po all of a sudden appears and fell on summit of the group, ruining the otherwise heroic moment. Crane was final seen in an intense boxing with his comrades before Po woke upward from his dream.

He is subsequently mentioned when Shifu asks Po if he had something to tell him, whereby Po asks if it had anything to do with Crane's date the other night.

"The Dragon Chef"

Crane and the Furious V were enlisted by Po to help effectually the noodle shop while his male parent was sick. Though initially nervous when facing the rather hostile looking customers, Crane helped past flight Monkey effectually the Noodle Shop, giving customers their secret ingredient soup. This ended in disaster, every bit they got the soup all over the customers. Presently, Mr. Ping returned and set things right in mere minutes. Securely impressed, Crane, forth with the others, praise him as "The Dragon Chef".

"Impact of Destiny"

Crane as he appears in "Touch of Destiny"

During a game of Elimination Tag, Crane nervously flew through a forest, and as he descended, his hat was caught upon a branch. He saturday himself on a hollow log, unaware that was Viper hiding in information technology. She surprised and tagged him and he flew away, but before long regrouped with the rest of the Furious Five after Tigress won the game, afterwards which Po asked if they wanted to play again.

Crane'south crushing claws and razor precipitous wings make him a mortiferous force on the battlefield — whether on the footing or in the air. Using his power of flight, Crane often teams upwards with other members of the Furious 5 and carries them up to the sky for aeriform assaults on their attackers. In times of peace, Crane enjoys cracking jokes with his Jade Palace family merely often shakes his head in disbelief at some of Po's antics.^[vii]

Crane remains generally a background graphic symbol throughout the series, but does occasionally play a significant role in some of the episodes' plots. In "Ladies of the Shade", he helped Po and Viper in a daring rescue mission to bring the Dragon Chalice back to the Jade Palace.

In "Crane on a Wire", Crane is revealed to take allergies, which normally results in obnoxious sneezing, snorting and coughing. This caused him to exist humiliated at a public charity event, and though Po tried to aid him, he instead ended upward embarrassing him even more. During the episode, Fenghuang the owl returned, and because Crane no longer felt confident in his abilities, he stayed behind while the others went afterwards her. Yet, when Crane saw that the others in were in trouble, he took action, and flew to their aid. In a final battle in the village, Crane battled Fenghuang and defeated her, regaining his confidence.

Crane and the Five helping Po with his pull-ups

In the short "The Pull-Upwardly Mandate", Crane—though reluctant—was willing to assistance the Five lift Po, who was attempting his five pull-ups before lunch. This shows how much he cares for The Dragon Warrior, even if he did feel humiliated while helping him.

In Kung Fu Panda 2

Crane and the other Five gawking at Po'southward effort to stuff forty bean buns in his mouth

Crane was first seen cheering Po on with the Furious V equally he blimp forty edible bean buns into his oral fissure. When Po succeeded, Crane slapped Po on the back in congratulations, causing the panda to spit a multitude of buns at his comrades.

Later, Po's lesson with Shifu was interrupted by Tigress and Crane informing him that bandits were raiding the Artisan Village for metal. Po and the Five successfully fought off the wolves, with Crane assisting Po in landing safely from large heights and helping to rescue a sus scrofa that got trapped in a bell. Crane and the others got a surprise when Po unexpectedly froze while facing the pb wolf, who escaped with most of the village'southward metal.

Crane, Po, and other members of The Five hearing the news of Principal Thundering Rhinoceros's death and Shen'south takeover of Gongmen Urban center

One day, Shifu received a message that a powerful villain (Lord Shen) had emerged with a weapon so powerful, information technology has the potential to destroy kung fu. He had used this weapon to kill Main Thundering Rhino and take over Gongmen City. Crane, along with Po and the remainder of the Five, ventured across China to face the threat and crush it.

While traveling on a boat towards the city, Crane and the others were awoken when they overheard Po and Tigress talking about the revelation of Po's adoption outside their cabin. They interrupted their chat to give Po "emotional support" before arriving at Gongmen Metropolis shortly thereafter.

Crane and The Five reacting to Po's dragon disguise

Crane and the Five infiltrated the city past sneaking across the rooftops, only before long realized that Po was missing. Seconds after this realization, their jaws dropped when they spotted the panda clumsily sneaking through the street in a dragon costume. They quickly joined Po beneath the costume, where Crane dryly asked Po, "And then that was 'stealth mode', huh?" The group was shortly spotted by the wolf guards, but managed to escape and attain Gongmen Jail, having been tipped off most Masters Storming Ox and Croc by a sheep they had rescued before.

Crane correcting Monkey on the "Ka-Kaw" catchphrase.

While in the jail, Monkey suggested using "crane noises" (which were "Ka-kaw, ki-ki") to warn the others of danger, to which Crane replied indignantly that he had never fabricated noises like that. After Po and Tigress failed to convince the imprisoned Ox and Croc to join them, Boss Wolf and his soldiers arrived. The Five quickly dispatched the soldiers, and the leader fled with his enemies in hot pursuit. They eventually caught Boss Wolf outside Lord Shen'southward palace, but were ambushed by his army and were captured. In the centre of declaring "Yous may chain my body, simply y'all volition never chain my--", a wolf shackled Crane's neck, muffling the balance of his declaration: "warrior spirit."

The six were led to the top of the tower and placed earlier Lord Shen himself. After some banter between Po and Shen, Shen attempted to burn the cannon at the prisoners, but thanks to some smart thinking on Po's role, Mantis had never been captured with the others and quickly doused the fuse while Viper freed Tigress. Tigress freed Crane and the others and they destroyed the cannon while Po took on Shen. However, while facing Shen, Po froze in one case once more, assuasive the peacock to escape to a nearby building and burn a multitude of cannons at the tower. Crane's wing was burned in the explosion that followed, and Tigress had to carry him as the six fabricated their fashion to the bottom of the tower to escape. The archway was soon blocked, yet, merely Tigress devised an ingenious escape program. While the tower slowly toppled over, Crane and the others quickly climbed up the tower and leaped off the elevation, over the palace walls, and escaped into the city.

Crane and the others hid from the wolf army in Gongmen Jail, where Tigress angrily confronted Po over his letting Shen escape. When Po said nil, Tigress decided that he should remain in the jail while she and the 5 went after Shen. Crane and the others watched in fright as Po and Tigress sparred when the panda refused to remain behind. Po was quickly subdued, and eventually revealed his desire to question Shen well-nigh his forgotten past. Po also added, in referral to Tigress, that "the hardcore tin't understand". Crane's jaw dropped when Tigress lunged at Po, obviously angered, but instead hugged him. Tigress stated that she did sympathize, but told Po to remain in the jail anyway and soon left with the other 5. While they were leaving, Crane asked Tigress if she "couldn't watch [him] be killed", to which she told him to "stop beingness a wimp".

Crane, Monkey, Viper, Mantis watching Po getting blasted by Shen's cannon.

Crane and the Five tracked Shen to the cannon foundry, and and so attempted to destroy the building by pushing inside a wagon full of lit gunpowder barrels. As they turned to leave, however, they spotted Po loftier up in the building battling Shen. They speedily doused the fuses and faced a mass army of wolves while Tigress attempted to reach Po. She was unable to reach him in fourth dimension, and Crane and the others watched in horror every bit Po was blasted out of the mill by Shen's largest cannon, presumably to his death.

Crane and the others of the Five were subsequently captured. The dark afterward the battle at the factory, they were chained and dangled from the top of a ship equally Shen's armada prepared to leave the metropolis and begin their conquest of China. Deeply saddened by Po's apparent death, Crane remained quiet and despairing, upward until Po miraculously reappeared. Po dodged Shen's cannons and succeeded in freeing the Five, who then proceeded to assist him in fighting the fleet in hopes of destroying the ships. They were soon joined by Shifu, likewise as Storming Ox and Croc (whom Shifu had persuaded to bring together the battle). Just as it appeared that they would win, still, Shen fired his huge cannon and blasted the warriors into the harbor, along with a mass of droppings.

After the smash, Crane and the other masters were left floating on driftwood, as well desperately injured and exhausted to go on fighting. Po was the only ane able to fight, so he swam to a sunken boat where he made his final stand against the remaining boats. Crane and the other masters then watched in astonishment every bit Po used his newly-acquired inner peace to redirect the cannonballs and destroys the residuum of Shen's armada.

By the time Po had returned victorious from his face-off with Shen, they were back on dry country. Crane's jaw dropped once again when Tigress helped Po out of the water and then received a hug from him. Crane recovered from his surprise and joined the others and they gave Po a group hug, and so watched the fireworks display that resulted from the remains of Shen's ship.

Personality

Crane sharing an awkward conversation with Po

Crane is the pragmatist of the group. Reluctant to resort to violence, he'due south a 'think first, dial second' kind of bird. Sometimes a well placed quip is the strongest technique. He'll try to avert a fight, if at all possible... merely if he can't avoid it, he'll do everything he can to win information technology. The safety of his fellow kung fu-ers is his first priority. He'due south willing to risk his life to protect them.^[eight]

Crane has demonstrated a dry sense of sarcastic humor on occasion. In his spare time, he enjoys practicing the ancient art of Chinese calligraphy, peculiarly as a way to meditate or wind down after a stressful day.^[9] Though brave and reliable, he also tends to bear witness more nervousness than his companions. As demonstrated in the brusk "The Pull-Up Mandate", Crane tends to tease Po's physical looks when he stated "He can't fifty-fifty lift his artillery!".

In improver to his Kung Fu skills, Crane is always at that place to correct Po whenever he gets his facts wrong or needs to memorize a spell. Whether it'due south about Oogway'due south construction of the Jade Palace, figuring out where to find the Sacred Sunday Orchid, or even how to stay at-home in a disturbing situation, he always strives to inform and educate others when he has a chance. When a touchy bailiwick arises, he'll give sure facial cues or employ signals to hide any embarrassing details. In part one of the episode "Emperor's Rule", Crane gives Po a bag that features an ingredient used to supplement of import vitamins in tea. He notes it'll assist Po with that "problem" he has. When Po asks, "Which problem?", Crane uses an interesting facial cue: Past looking down and upwards with his eyes, he signals to Po what the trouble is. Of class, Po remembers, and thanks him. Non only is this a crucial moment in Crane's life, but information technology gives us the power to know how he thinks and what points he wants to go across.

Crane also has a caste of kindness when it comes to his own actions, even earlier he gets to warm up with Po. When he unintentionally causes Po to self-depreciate after telling him that he doesn't belong "hither," as he refers to the Jade Palace just now, he changes his statement quickly to but refer how Po doesn't belong in his room.

Fighting manner

The traditional Crane mode is natural, graceful, effortless, fluid, and balanced. In traditional crane style, the fighter poses his striking mitt similar to the long pointed beak of the bird. Crane does not use his nib, but instead, he utilizes his wings for big, circular sweeping movements designed to exploit his wingspan; by enlarging the hitting zone, he diffuses his opponents' energy—using four ounces of energy to deflect one thou tons of pressure.^[8]

Unlike the others of the Furious Five, Crane learned kung fu past himself when he worked as a janitor at the Lee Da Kung Fu University. At that time, his martial arts mostly composed of cleaning and sweeping to ease his janitor's workload.^[1]

During combat situations in dangerous locations where fatal falls are possible, Crane is able to fly around the gainsay zone and survey the surface area as a lookout man for tactical advantage, gear up to grab whatsoever of his comrades if they practice autumn. If necessary, he is also strong plenty to carry all of the other V in the air, just this shows to be very taxing for him.^[9]

Crane practicing kung fu on the Jade Tortoise of Wisdom

In Kung Fu Panda Holiday, Crane displayed another power while aiding Po alongside the other Five in place settings for the Jade Palace's formal Winter Feast; he was shown beingness able to manipulate the air current he unleashed under the plates and cups with his wings, lifting them long enough for Monkey to accurately and chop-chop distribute placemats directly under them.^[x] This makes Crane an aerokinetic in addition to his other skills. Crane has likewise evidently trained in teamwork with Po, as he is seen helping Po several time with aerial maneuvers or ensuring he makes safe landings when the panda leaps from loftier altitudes.^[11]

The advent and result of "Wings of Justice"

Crane too possesses other special abilities such equally the "Wings of Justice" technique, where he sweeps his wings to create a stiff gust of air current that is able to propel a fleet of ships.^[11]

Relationships

His mother

Primary Crane loves his mother, but he was in one case agape of her. In the episode "Mama Told Me Not To Kung Fu", she responded to his letters that he wrote about his new "job" at the Jade Palace. He lied to her so her heart wouldn't pulsate. He said he managed an inn, instead of admitting he was a Kung Fu principal. When she came to visit him, he was annoyed with the way she tickled his feathers. Later, he offered to tour her on what the village had to offer. When lunchtime came, he exclaimed that he wasn't a infant when she tried to beak-feed him. Withal, he reluctantly gave in to her need. As the episode continued, he tried so hard to hide the truth of his life. And so, when the Wolf Bandits tried to seize her, he was forced to show her the truth when he used Kung Fu to defeat them. Although she was shocked at the sight of his moves, she realized how much he loved her. She praised him for saving her, and admitted that he looked good when it came to his wellness. Crane agreed to forgive her for misjudging his talent. Afterward they hugged each other, she said good day to the loyal friends who helped her, smiled at Crane, and flew off.

Po

Crane was the first of the Five to hold a conversation with Po, albeit information technology beingness quite awkward. Even so, touched by Po's dedication and admiration of the Five led Crane to have some respect for Po.^[9] Past the second film, he seemed to have become close friends with Po, just like the other members of the Five. This is shown when Po managed to fit forty bean buns in his mouth, and Crane cheered for him and playfully slapped the panda's back with his fly, resulting in Po spitting out edible bean buns. They've also improved their teamwork, as Crane is shown several times helping Po with aerial maneuvers or insuring he lands safely from leaping high altitudes.^[11]

The Furious Five

Crane stands alongside the Furious V as a member. He tagged along with Tigress and the others to defeat Tai Lung, but afterward Tai Lung defeated them in battle past paralyzing all but Crane, he brought them back to the Jade Palace past flight, despite their heavy weight and the long, wearisome journeying dorsum. This shows the compassion he has for his swain kung fu masters.^[9] In the series, he shows a deep devotion to the Five by risking his life for them. Without his wings, they would be a flightless team.

Shifu

Crane was trained by Shifu like the others of the Furious 5. He complies with his orders, even when asked to leave him to defeat Tai Lung. However, he did seem tickled when Po was making fun of the kung fu master at supper one time. He tin can also exist a bit nervous almost breaking rules set by Shifu, every bit seen when he overhears Tigress telling Po about Tai Lung and he speedily reminds them, "Uh, aye, nosotros're non actually supposed to talk near him?"^[nine] At times, Crane jokes almost Shifu to lighten the mood. In the series, during the episode "Invitation Only", he joins Shifu and the Five in a comedy act. While Shifu "drowns" in quicksand, Crane remarks "Never mind that. I'thou a dr. who needs assist fixing this sundial." Thus, Lawman Hu gives a forced laugh.

Mei Ling

Mei Ling was enrolled equally a pupil at the kung fu school where Crane worked every bit a janitor. Watching him work late i night, she was amazed by his skill and told him to attempt out for enrollment at the school. She seemed to care about Crane and may have been his only friend when everyone else teased him for being too skinny. Her encouragement and belief in him inspired his conclusion to become on when he accidentally stepped on the course used to examination applicants. When Crane passed the form with flight colors, Mei Ling cheered for him along with all the students who had doubted his ability.^[1]

Bai Li

Crane was attracted to her until he discovered she was in a hideous plot to kill Po.^[12]

Vesture

Crane's outfit consists of basic article of clothing nearly students would wear to practice the art of kung fu in. Still, dissimilar the other Furious V, Crane is the simply member to wear a chapeau: a pop conical Asian hat known as a rice hat. He is always seen wearing his hat (fifty-fifty while he fights), fifty-fifty though he has been seen without it, usually when he's eating or sleeping. Crane likewise wears loose blue pants with a purple sash wrapped around his waist in the style of a Shaolin wrap. He too wears rings effectually his ankles and toes: 5 ankle rings on each of his legs, and a unmarried toe ring on each of his toes.

During the Wintertime Feast dinner at the Jade Palace and afterwards at the Noodle Shop, Crane and the other members of the Furious Five each clothing an outfit similar to their normal attire, merely slightly differentiated in color and pattern to match the vacation.
