Destiny

From a distant land in the East, from across the sea,

he shall appear.

He does not know of the strength hidden

within him.

The strength that would destroy him.

The strength that would fulfill his wishes.

When he is ready, he shall seek me out.

And we shall brave together the rocky path.

I shall wait...

This encounter has been my destiny since ancient times.

A Dragon shall emerge from the earth, and dark clouds

shall obscure the heavens.

A Phoenix shall descend from above,

its wings will create a purple wind.

In the midst of the pitch-black night,

a morning star shall glisten, alone...

Previous Events in Shenmue I

Yokosuka, Japan - 1986

Ryo Hazuki’s quiet, tranquil life in the Hazuki family home is forever 

shattered by the sudden, unexpected arrival of unwanted visitors. A man 

in dark green Chinese clothing appears at the door, followed closely by 

his black-suited thugs. Known as Lan Di, the leader uses his knowledge 

of kung fu to kill Ryo’s noble father, Iwao. Before Ryo can compose him-

self, Lan Di escapes, taking away a mysterious mirror, which is clearly 

what he came for.
Vowing to seek revenge, young Ryo embarks on a journey to find his 

father’s killer. After several dead ends, Ryo is given a letter addressed 

to his late father. Sent by a man called Yuanda Zhu, the letter warns of 

danger, but also tells of a person that can be relied on if something hap-

pens – a Master Chen. Upon finding this master, Ryo learns from him 

that Lan Di is one of the leaders of the Chiyoumen. And because Lan Di 

has already obtained one sacred mirror, he’s likely to be searching for the 

other, known as the Phoenix Mirror, because together the mirrors make 

a pair.
Ryo eventually finds the Phoenix Mirror, but even with this prize he’s 

still eager to seek Lan Di and avenge his beloved father’s death. Master 

Chen tells of rumors that say Lan Di has left for Hong Kong, so Ryo 

decides to pursue him there, but an unknown assailant attacks Ryo 

before he can follow Lan Di to that exotic city.
Fighting off his attacker, Ryo comes face-to-face with the Mad Angels, 

a gang with close ties to Lan Di’s Chiyoumen. With the help of Master 

Chen’s son Guizhang, Ryo defeats the Mad Angels. Master Chen then 

gives Ryo a letter, which introduces a man called Lishao Tao, who will 

assist Ryo once he arrives in Hong Kong. 
Where is Lan Di, the man who killed Ryo’s beloved father?
Who is Yuanda Zhu, the man who sent the letter to Ryo’s father warning

of danger?
What is the hidden mystery of the Phoenix Mirror?
As 

Shenmue II

 starts, Ryo arrives in Hong Kong seeking the truth behind 

these mysteries. You must help him find the answers!
