Hong Kong is a former British colony, now a special administrative region of China. His national flower is the Bauhinia Blakeana, and his establishment day—possibly his birthday—falls on July 1st.

In the Hetalia universe, Hong Kong works as China's assistant, though he complains about being overworked and often calls China "teacher." It's implied that China raised him alongside Japan, Korea, and Taiwan like siblings. During his time under British rule, Hong Kong had a habit of setting off firecrackers at festivals, which would freak England out and earn him angry lectures. Whether that's the cause or just coincidence, England apparently cursed him with notably thick eyebrows—thicker than most other characters in the series, though still not quite as pronounced as England's own.
His personality is hard to read. He speaks in a Gyaru-o dialect that blends English and Japanese, making him tough to understand. He doesn't show much emotion, but fans often note that he's a bit of a trickster underneath that calm exterior. He's apparently afraid of the dark, has a soft spot for Jackie Chan, and has a reputation for drawing explicit artwork—something he's supposedly promised China to stop doing.
When England appears in Hetalia Fantasia, Hong Kong greets him warmly after their long separation, but England's response is hesitant and awkward, suggesting their current relationship is strained.
Creator Hidekaz Himaruya has considered several names for him—Leon, Li Xiao Chun, and Wang Jia Long among them—but never settled on an official choice. Fans typically call him Kaoru, a Japanese name meaning "scent" or "fragrance," a fitting reference to Hong Kong's name, which literally translates to "fragrant harbor."
