In Kung Fu Panda, what title does Po receive after being chosen by Master Oogway?

In Kung Fu Panda, Po receives the title Dragon Warrior after Master Oogway chooses him. The decision occurs during a ceremony intended to identify the legendary kung-fu master.

Po reaches the Jade Palace while trying to watch the selection of the Dragon Warrior. He is launched into the arena by a burst of fireworks and lands before Oogway, who interprets the event as meaningful rather than accidental.

The choice shocks Master Shifu and the Furious Five, because Po has no formal kung-fu training and initially struggles with even basic exercises. Oogway’s decision sets the film’s central conflict: Shifu must teach Po while Po learns to trust his own abilities.

The title is not the same as the name of a fighting style or an official rank held by every kung-fu student. It is the legendary role associated with protecting the Valley of Peace.
