Ryo Hazuki is the protagonist of the Shenmue series.
Bio[edit | edit source]
Heir to dojo owner Iwao Hazuki, Ryo has been studying martial arts under his father since the ripe age of seven. This time-honed skill in unarmed combat soon proves to be incredibly convenient as Ryo witnesses the murder of his old man and swears and oath of vengeance against the enigmatic stranger that felled him. Thus starts a bumpy journey that sees Ryo stumbling into two new mysteries for each one he manages to solve.
Although Ryo has a reasonably good upbringing by virtue of his father and the family's live-in housekeeper Ine, he still happens to be a high school student who is not yet entirely done with growing up. He can be hot-headed and impatient at the worst of times, and his stubbornness can be as much of a blessing at it can be a curse. His quest for revenge also means he largely foregoes the idea of romantic relationships, which is played for laughs as the games keep throwing an entire harem's worth of girls at him.
In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]
Ryo Hazuki debuted in 8chanmania X, where he formed a tag team with his Chinese co-worker Delin Hong. The team was swiftly sorted out by the wombo combo of Kazuma Kiryu and Goro Majima.
Ryo, this time alone, made another appeareance in 8chanmania XLV. His desperate attempt to convince Johnny Slater that he wasn't an alien in disguise fell on flat ears, and the suplex star pinned him into oblivion after pointing out only an alien could be swarmed by that many cute chicks without getting laid.
