Ryo Hazuki (葉月 涼 ''Hazuki Ryō'') is the main character in the Sega RPG / Action / Adventure Video Game series, Shenmue . Ryo Hazuki was born in a small home in Yamanose, a suburb of the larger Dobuita. His father, Iwao Hazuki, master of the Hazuki-style Jujitsu, was killed by a man named Lan Di - an artist of a powerful, mysterious martial art. Lan Di was searching for the Dragon Mirror, a powerful mirror that seemingly holds the jewels of the kingdom. Ryo, after witnessing the death of his father, takes it upon himself to exact revenge upon Lan Di . Iwao Hazuki appears in a number of flashbacks, giving guidance to Ryo along his journey. It is believed by many that Ryo is modeled after Virtua Fighter 's Akira. His father, Iwao Hazuki , is killed by Lan Di at the start of the series, and Ryo progresses through the games by making connections and traveling through and beyond Japan and China to find answers as to the reason behind his father's death and to seek revenge. Ryo is a powerful yet hard-headed teenager. His mother had died when he was an infant, and his father was killed by a member of a Chinese cartel, named the Chiyou-men. The Chiyou-men hold a base in the harbor near Ryo's hometown. It is there that Ryo first encounters the vicious gang, the Mad Angels, a group working with the Chiyou-men. As his life progresses, Ryo meets many characters. An important character he meets in the first game is Gui-zhang, another martial artist. Gui-zhang is son of Master Chen, an old friend of Iwao Hazuki 's. Through-out the story, Ryo Hazuki learns that his father may have been involved in a murder. Ryo does not believe that his father would ever kill another person, but Lan Di believes that Iwao was responsible. This raises the question: "Is Lan Di really so different from Ryo?" because they both sought out revenge for similar reasons. Ryo wears a brown leather jacket, a blue pair of jeans and has spiky black hair. He has a signature band-aid over his left cheek, which appeared after the time of Lan Di's murder of Iwao Hazuki. This band-aid is never actually addressed or acknowledged by any characters in the games, giving a sense of closeness and promoting a positive relationship between player and character. It's qualities like these, in contrast to the success of Shenmue, which makes the series so underrated; though it's difficult to live up to its hype, considering the first instalment was the most expensive game ever made. Shenmue II ended with a lot of loose ends, which is why no real conclusions can be made of the true nature of Lan Di's attack on Iwao.
