One of the things I really wanted to do with Shogun of Harlem was use parts of the existing mythology that could be better served for representation (for both Black and Asian) people instead of mockery. There's a lot that didn't get explored in the original movie because, let's face it....that simply wasn't the intended purpose and that's okay.
I remember listening to a podcast featuring the infinitely intelligent Kiese Laymon where he talked about his love for Clubber Lang from Rocky III. Apparently, there was a whole backstory that got written for Lang that never made it into the film. Honestly, there was enough character for even Mr. T to chew on that probably should have made him Rocky's nemesis for a solid trilogy.
(And yes, We should put time, energy and resources into Our own original characters, but there's also nothing wrong with allowing yourself to dream and expand on stories that inspire us.)
That's part of what I wanted from this series. There are so many characters that look like us who don't get explored so deeply because that wasn't the story that particular storyteller was telling which, again, is okay. But whether it's been told or not, every character should have their journey and within that journey is a world to be explored, built up and sometimes broken down.
A wild character like this, most likely thought up in the blink of an eye, has a lot of questions that come with him. "Shogun" answers some of those questions that nobody thought to ask and asks some new ones that maybe another storyteller might come along and address one day.

The Last Dragon (1985) is a martial arts comedy film directed by Michael Schultz and produced by Berry Gordy. The film stars Taimak, Vanity, and Julius Carry. It follows martial arts student Leroy Green, known as "Bruce Leeroy," on his quest to achieve the mystical power of "The Glow." Leroy faces off against the villainous Sho'nuff, "The Shogun of Harlem," and video mogul Eddie Arkadian to save his love interest, Laura, and prove himself as a true martial artist. The film, despite mixed reviews, became a cult classic.🔥🎥💯
