A list of the bodyguards who served the Wu Kingdom in the Dynasty Warriors series.



Lian Shi

"The Beautiful Guardian"

 "I shall fight on behalf of all of those that I must protect."

 Voiced by: Akemi Kanda (Japanese), Cristina Vee (English)

Born: (Unknown)
Died: 238
Japanese spelling: Renshi

Height: 5'5" (165cm)

Lian Shi serves under Sun Shang Xiang as one of her armed maids. A member of a once wealthy and prominent family that has fallen from grace. Trained to become a warrior, she is capable enough to protect herself and her lady.

Also known as Lady Bu and Bu Lianshi. Historically, she later becomes one of Sun Quan's concubines, in particular his favorite, and was posthumously made Empress after her death.



Zhou Tai

"The Quiet Blade"

 "The battlefield calls to me."

 Voiced by: Hideo Ishikawa (Japanese), Travis Willingham (English)

Born: (Unknown)
Died: (Unknown)
Japanese spelling: Shuutai

Age: 25
Height: 6'7" (200cm)

Zhou Tai is known in the Wu Kingdom as Sun Quan's personal bodyguard, after saving his life in the Battle for Wu Province.

Zhou Tai is a calm warrior who is merciless to his foes. He only talks when necessary and prefers action. His hard-to-approach and taciturn demeanor belie a sincerely kind and loyal man of Wu.


  • Badass
  • Battle Butler
  • Demoted to Extra - His role as Sun Quan's bodyguard gets overtaken more by Lian Shi in DW7, though given the amount of shipping Wu's Story Mode does for Quan and Lian Shi, this is somewhat justified, especially when the ending makes them an Official Couple. Although he got his less-extra stuff in XL, with his Hero Scenario in Legend Mode.
  • Good Scars, Evil Scars Are Forever - One across his eye, and a bunch more along his upper body.
    • When he asks you what your hobbies are in DW7's Conquest Mode, he'll look rather hurt if you answer with "Counting the number of scars on your body".
    • They are explained in the novel. He recieved them single handedly fighting off a troop of soldiers to protect a young Sun Quan. He survives the battle but has to endure several months of surgery and scars seemingly remain the rest of his life.
  • Ho Yay - With Sun Quan
  • Iaijutsu Practitioner - We ought to nickname him "Battousai".
  • Katanas Are Just Better - All appearances except DW6, despite katanas being developed about a thousand years after his time. It does make for a badass fighting style, though.
    • Technically, despite how it's named, it's a "tachi", a forerunner of the katana (though still not invented in Zhou Tai's time, much less brought over to the mainland), not an actual katana, being more curved and sheathed with the blade facing down rather than up. To be fair, the developers do seem to recognise this, giving him rather decent horseback ability (at least in DW4-5, where he was one of only three characters who attacked all on one side rather than alternating sides, meaning he could actually fight officers at least semi-effectively). Historically, the tachi meant to be a cavalry-based weapon.
    • Besides there are some swords like the Miao Dao or the Zhan Ma Dao that looks much like a katana.
  • Michael McConnohie - DW4-5
  • Nice Guy - Shhh! It's a secret!
  • Pirate - Formerly
  • Samurai - Close enough to be one
  • Talking to Himself - Localization-exclusive: he always shares the same voice actor with Zhang Liao.
    • In DW 7, instead of Zhang Liao, the localization gives Travis Xu Huang instead.
  • The Stoic, The Quiet One
