Unless you spent the better part of the last five decades getting up around Hong Kong, through police persecution and on crutches, Tsang Tsou-choi -- dubbed "The King of Kowloon" -- has the edge on you. Tsang died in late 2007, after a lifetime devoted mostly to covering walls, lamposts, lanterns, and anything else he could get his hands on Chinese-style calligraphy, and making his imprint part of Hong Kong's collective consciousness. Both the city and fans of street art and free expression mourn the loss of this unique figure.
