Kung Lao: zodiac sign and birth chart
Kung Lao has no canon birthday. The Mortal Kombat games never give one. Read from his personality, he's a Libra: charming, a little cocky and always up for a friendly rivalry. Sun, Moon and Mercury sit in Libra, with an Aries rising and Mars for the fight in him. The hat is the weapon, the rivalry is the fun.

NEBO's take
No birthday in canon. His personality says Libra.
We ran Kung Lao through the same model that matches people to characters in the app, and looked at which chart gets him most often. It reads him as air with a fire core: social, competitive and easy to like.

Libra keeps a friend close and a rival closer. Kung Lao is both for Liu Kang.
- Moon

A Libra Moon wants harmony. He competes at everything, then goes for noodles afterward.
- Rising
CanonNo birth timeNEBO's takeAries
No birth time in canon. First impression: a Shaolin monk with a grin and a razor-rimmed hat, sure he's the best in the room.
- Mercury

Libra Mercury charms and banters. He talks his way into a challenge before anyone has agreed to it.
- Venus CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeNo clear pick
- Mars
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeAries
Aries Mars acts first. The Hat Throw is a boomerang with a whirlwind behind it.
What the games do give: Liu Kang's best friend and eternal rival, convinced he deserves to be first. A Libra answer is that the rivalry is also the friendship.
