Li Kui is a muscular man with a dark complexion, a reddish-yellow unibrow, and fiery eyes. He is as strong as an ox, which earns him the nickname "Iron Ox". However, he is more popularly referred to by other jianghu figures as "Black Whirlwind" for his berserk behavior in combat and dark complexion. Li Kui is one of the leaders of the Liangshan infantry. In the end, when Song Jiang realizes that he has been tricked into drinking poisoned wine, he is worried that Li Kui might stir up trouble after his death. Thus, He also lets Li Kui drink the poisoned wine and they die together.
