Lau Gan-Lan

"URN"

- No! Not my Cabbage Corp!

Lau Gan-Lan is the current owner of Cabbage Corp, the rival company of Future Industries in Republic City, and the grandson of the cabbage merchant. He was framed by Hiroshi Sato to be the manufacturer of Equalist weaponry.

History
In 170 ASC, the Metalbending Police Force was alerted of Lau Gan-Lan's alleged Equalist ties. After finding sufficient evidence, the police came to Cabbage Corp's headquarters and arrested him. Despite his claims that the allegations were false, authorities proceeded with taking Lau Gan-Lan away, who began to cry after hearing his assets would be frozen and that Cabbage Corp was to be closed. It was later discovered that Hiroshi Sato had framed Lau Gan-Lan.

Trivia

 * Lau Gan-Lan is a pun on the Chinese words, meaning "old man" or "Mr." and , meaning "wild cabbage": his name could therefore be translated as "Old Man Cabbage" or "Mr. Cabbage".
 * Lau's voice actor, James Sie, also voiced the cabbage merchant in the original series, in addition to voicing Oyaji.
 * Lau's clothing consists of various green and gold colors, much like the cabbage merchant from Avatar: The Last Airbender.
