His codename is the Cantonese/Jyutping romanization of hōng (pronounced as "hong"). The Hanzi, when combined with Aak's, makes up 阿吽, which is the Chinese pronunciation for Om.
Hung has the traits of a komainu, with one being present in his Elite 2 artwork.
In contrast to Aak's, his Elite 2 artwork and name imply he is specifically based on the un-gyō, the more doglike of the two that has a single horn on its forehead. While the a-gyō keeps evil out, the un-gyō keeps the good inside and thus has its mouth closed to utter "un."
