<Li> Hudson Yang as Edwyn `` Eddie '' Huang , the show 's protagonist and a die - hard hip - hop and rap fan , as well as a great fan of basketball . The oldest of three brothers , he eschews Taiwanese culture and is more rebellious than his younger siblings , which makes him a frequent target of Jessica 's complaints . Because Eddie represents the writer of the book on which the show is based , all of the season - one episodes were told from his perspective , and the real - life Eddie Huang voices the narrator . A creative change for season two expands the focus to the entire Huang family . </Li>
