In other media

Television

• In Iron Fist, Colleen Wing appeared in the setting of the live-action Netflix television series where she was portrayed by actress Jessica Henwick. Colleen Wing was born in Hokkaido where she lived with her mother Azumi Ozawa. Her mother would often comb her hair. However, her mother eventually walked out of her life. Wing's father, Lee Wing sent her to live with her grandfather, Kenji Ozawa. He trained Wing in martial arts and sword mastery before passing her his katana. Years later, Wing was recruited into the Hand and trained by Bakuto. Introduced into the fellowship that the Hand provided, Wing came to regard them as family. She was eventually granted Chikara Dojo in New York City by Bakuto, so she could provide martial arts training, safety and a scholarship to youth who needed it. One day in Central Park, Wing was putting up some ad flyers for her dojo. In the park, she encountered Danny Rand meditating. Believing him to be a homeless person begging for money, she placed a few dollars in his cup. As she put up the flyers, Rand approached her to give the money back. Slightly unnerved by his appearance, Wing tried to not pay attention to him. Rand noted that she was a martial arts trainer and he began speaking Mandarin to her. Impressed, they briefly spoke Mandarin, before she stopped him and told him that she had not spoken Mandarin since she was a child. Rand simply wanted to ask if she could give him a job. Wing apologized and told him that she'd already hired someone who cleans up, before heading off.
