One day, a while after Jin Kazama, whom Xiaoyu has been in love with, went missing, Xiaoyu left home saying that he was going to look for Jin, and never came back. Panda, concerned for his own safety, devotes himself to tracking her down and finally discovers Xiaoyu at the Mishima Zaibatsu building. He is told that Xiaoyu has obtained data on Jin's whereabouts and is now on a journey around the world in pursuit of him. Panda is surprised by Xiaoyu's extraordinary energy, but decides to accompany him on his journey, thinking that if he is going to travel the world, he should enjoy sightseeing and eating as much as possible. She coordinates Xiaoyu's clothes and travels around the world, following what little information she can find, so that she will not be embarrassed when she meets Jin again, but in the end, six months pass without their reunion. However, six months pass without their reunion. Still, Xiaoyu refuses to give up, and Panda decides to stay with her until the very end.
