Donaka Mark had been running his underground fighting business in Hong Kong for a long time to the point of attracting attention from the Hong Kong Police Department. He first appeared during the film when a man refused to kill another man in a death match. Donaka puts on a black mask to kill the man in the fighting room. Donaka found out that the Hong Kong Police Department was onto him and that the man that refused to kill was leaking information to them. Donaka confronts him and stabs him to death while letting him know that he was the "rat".

He spent plenty of time searching for a man whom he can mold into being a cold-blooded murderer. Donaka sets his sights on Tiger Chen and was highly impressed with him. Donaka engineered a fight between Tiger and another man at his building to see his fighting prowess for himself. He eventually hired Tiger to work under him under the idea that he fights people for profit. As Tiger continued to fight men, Donaka manipulates government officials into issuing closures to the Tai Chi temple where Tiger trains at. Upset that the temple could be closed down because of not meeting safety guidelines, Tiger fully agreed to work under Donaka and becomes a more vicious fighter for him to the point that the public and Tiger's master was shocked that Tiger would violate the rules in a fighting match when he critically injured his opponent. Donaka becomes more impressed by how ruthless Tiger has become. Unbeknownst to Tiger, Donaka set up cameras around Tiger's residence and followed him around videotaping him and keeping a very close eye on him.

In another fight, Tiger was instructed by Donaka to kill a man but Tiger refused. Donaka puts on his mask and entered the area of the fight and broke the man's neck. When it was over, Tiger asked him why he killed him and Donaka scoffed at Tiger. When Tiger said he does not want to kill, Donaka continued to mocked and threatened him by saying that he cannot leave the job he signed up for.

Shocked by the truth and Donaka's manipulation, Tiger attempted to kill Donaka until his minion stopped him. Donaka revealed to Tiger that his motives for his actions was to make Tiger lose his innocence and become a cold-blooded murderer. When Tiger fought his next opponent, Tiger refused to fight him and looked at the camera to tell Donaka that he wanted to fight him. Donaka entered the ring to fight Tiger but he knocked off his black mask. As the police closed in on Donaka and his men, Donaka left not before telling Tiger that he owes him for not killing anyone. Donaka swam to shore and avoided the police.

Throughout the fight, Donaka had the upperhand over Tiger and critically injured him multiple times. Donaka also tried to convince Tiger that he was a murderer and that he had it in him to kill.
