Which Mortal Kombat character fights with a razor-edged hat?

Kung Lao is the Mortal Kombat character who fights with a razor-edged hat.

His hat is both a weapon and a signature visual feature. Kung Lao can throw it like a spinning blade, use it in close combat, and incorporate it into special attacks and Fatalities. The design makes him immediately distinct from other martial-arts fighters in the roster.

Kung Lao first appeared in Mortal Kombat II, released in arcades in 1993. He is portrayed as a Shaolin monk and a descendant of the Great Kung Lao, an earlier champion in the series’ fictional history. His rivalry and friendship with Liu Kang are recurring elements of the storyline.

The character is sometimes confused with Liu Kang because both are Shaolin-associated heroes. However, Liu Kang is primarily identified with fire-based attacks and bicycle kicks, while Kung Lao’s defining weapon is the bladed hat.
