Kan Mei is Chu's most celebrated general, earning the nickname "The Giant of Chu" for his overwhelming dominance on the battlefield. He's known for an undefeated record spanning decades—roughly a hundred cities have fallen to his forces as he methodically conquered territories across Chu's borders with Qi, Zhao, Wei, and Han. His name hasn't spread to the distant states of Yan or Qin simply because Chu and Qin haven't clashed in twenty or thirty years.
What makes Kan Mei legendary is his raw physical power. Early in his career, he faced Ō Kotsu, one of Qin's Six Great Generals, and managed to wound him badly enough with a single sword swing to force a retreat—all while still relatively young. That victory essentially announced his arrival as a major player. Since then, he's taken on every formidable opponent thrown at him and won every time, leading him to claim the title of "strongest man in China." It's hard to argue given his track record.
He climbed the military ranks incredibly fast thanks to his strength alone, though his leadership and tactical knowledge are equally impressive. Fans often note that his combination of raw power and actual command ability is what sets him apart from mere muscle.
