==Name==
* "''Láng Zǐ''" (狼子) literally means "Son of the Wolf" in Chinese. His name may also have been inspired by that of [[wikipedia:Laozi|Laozi]], a mystic philosopher of ancient China and author of the ''[[wikipedia:Tao Te Ching|Tao Te Ching]]'', in which case "Lang Zi" may be an honorific title meaning "Wolf Master", as "Lǎo Zǐ" (老子) literally means "Old Master".

==Development==
Lang Zi may be based on [[wikipedia:Sun Tzu|Sun Tzu]] (who in Mandarin has his name read as "Sūn Zǐ" [孙子]), an ancient Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher who authored the military treatise, ''[[wikipedia:The Art of War|The Art of War]]''.
