The Actor who was Kung Lao in the digital capture games, Anthony Marquez, is Filipino, and looks similar to the Storm Collectibles figure (the storm collectibles version is slightly more “anime” than realistic, like everything from Storm Collectibles.)

Kung Lao never looked Chinese in the games, but I don’t think it was ever stated he was ethnically Chinese. Just a White Lotus Monk. As far as we know, the Great Kung Lao, during his period of non-aging between tournaments went around Asia to sow his wild oats, and visited a nice Filipino girl, who later had a kid, and 9 generations later, his decendants look more Filipino than Chinese. Also, in some backgrounds, Liu Kang also shares some lineage with the Great Kung Lao, making him and the current Kung Lao distant cousins.
