Shenmue II- PROFILES ON ALL 600+ CHARACTERS (EVENTUALLY!!)

Miles Prower said *Hm--could Baihu somehow be connected to Zhao Sun Ming?(He was the master of the Tiger Swallow style). Maybe Zhao was his teacher? I have a feeling we'll see Baihu again-"Hazuki...I'll remember that name..." Hm--I wonder why we're not allowed to know his age?. I thought exactly the same thing! There has to be more to that then meets the eye. We hear that Lan Di's father was a master of the same style of martial art as Baihu. The theory about Baihu being an apprentice is very plausable. Perhaps he killed Zhao Sunming after all? Time will tell I'm sure!

Also, I'd really like to know why his age isn't stated..it's really odd..

Iwao is Ryo’s father and the current master of the Hazuki Style martial art. He is a character of high morals who respects devotion to one’s convictions, proper manners and above all, trust. He is very calm and composed, personifying simplicity and courage. His only hobby is Shodo (calligraphy) which he often uses when writing letters and postcards. As a master of martial arts, he is a strict Sensei and is never satisfied with relying solely on one’s natural talent. He has continued to adhere to a strict training regimen throughout his adult life. When he was young, he is said to have set out on an overseas journey to learn from the various great masters of the martial arts. Although his son Ryo sometimes rebels against his strictness, he still respects him as a mentor and dreams of emulating him.

*For some odd reason, his blood type is not actually revealed in this book, yet we know from his Shenmue I profile it’s A.

At age 7, Ryo began to seriously study the martial arts under his father’s tutelage.

He experienced his first feelings of love for a girl during this time, but when a friend of his teased him about it, Ryo started a fight with him. Since then, he has shied away from any involvement with girls.

*I’m not sure if “Ryobo” is a mistake or not…in Shenmue I(in-game), she just calls him “Suedeheaded Ryo”

*Although his height and weight aren’t revealed here, the Shenmue I book reveals his height and weight, but not in metric format. He was 4’3” and 55 lbs.

Wow, what a great topic! It'd be great to see them organized on the webpage.

by **Silas** » Sun Nov 09, 2003 9:23 am

Wow, Iwao and Fangmei have the same birthday!

by **Miles Prower** » Sun Nov 09, 2003 9:33 am

Well whadaya know..never noticed that o_o

by **Silas** » Sun Nov 09, 2003 9:59 am

(I only noticed because of the two long term relationships in my life, one's birthday was March 2nd and the other's was March 3rd. So the date always sticks in my mind.)

Being inspired by seeing the profiles online, I've just spent another agonizing hour translating another bare handful of the names. I hope you appreciate it.

(Hmm, i think i might've overdone it a bit on the hint.... :lol:

Yes. Anything you do is appreciated highly, godess. *bows (to peek :twisted:

)*

by **MJC The Great** » Mon Nov 10, 2003 11:56 am

Yeah, whatever you've done has always been greatly appriciated!

by **naz** » Tue Nov 11, 2003 2:52 am

ren is only 19? By the way he talks about ryo being a "kid" i would of thought he'd at least be in his early or mid twenties.

by **Miles Prower** » Tue Nov 11, 2003 3:37 am

Yeah, that always struck me as odd too---I also thought he'd be much older.

by **MJC The Great** » Tue Nov 11, 2003 6:50 am

Especially considering that he's supposed to be the leader of the Heavens! What about some of the other members? surely they're older and more experienced?

by **Miles Prower** » Tue Nov 11, 2003 6:55 am

Actually, most of the Heavens are 18-19 as well. Also Sam and Larry are around 15 IIRC.

by **MJC The Great** » Tue Nov 11, 2003 7:08 am

Whaaa? You've gotta be joking. Sam & Larry 15? That's ridiculous for God's sake, how are they supposed to be as good as they are and be of a higher rank if they're that young? Which one is which by the way?
