Although Pan-Da looks huge and mean, he is kind and friendly. His friends and his customers all know him as a family man. He works very hard during the day at the market and works part-time at a nearby petrol station to his home. He has a lovely wife and a 3 month old daughter. Those who just met him will always ask him why he has gate gods tattooed on his back. Every time he just smile and say, "They protect my family."

There is a secret Pan-Da never mention to anyone. His parents lost their lives to some street gangsters while they were taking a stroll after dinner. That's why Pan-Da got the tattoo, to protect his family from losing them again and sometimes to scare the gangsters off with his tattoo.
