<Supplementary Information>
• Hiba’s expression at the Yokohama Gymnasium is too serious (dull-witted).
• Feedback from many people was “With that face, it’s hard to imagine him pulling off a sneaky illegal move.” Please adjust his expression to appear more malicious.
• Previously, Hiba was only set to appear in the martial arts tournament scene, but now he will also appear at the Game • Arcade on Dobuita Street, so please also add a “Hiba in student uniform” version.
<Notes>
• Please proceed with the above two additions and changes.

Note: Zakkaya = general store.
The concept art sheets indicate this character’s name is Wu. “Sya” meaning is unclear, however it could be a possible mistake leftover from the previous character whom used “Sya” as the Japanese pronounciation for “Xie”, since in this case Wu would be pronounced as “Go” in Japanese.

Chapter: Hakka 客家
Character Name: 劉勝国 (Liu Shengguo) / Ryū Shōkoku [Japanese pronunciation]
No.: 4-22
<Order Details>
• Name: Liu Shengguo (劉勝国) – Ryū Shōkoku [Japanese pronunciation]
• Gender: Male
• Blood Type: A
• Date of Birth: February 12, 1924 (62 years old)
• Height/Weight: 165 cm / 62 kg
• Clothing: Chinese-style clothing and cap, Glasses (Refer to illustration)
• Appearance Location: Hakka
• Appearance Frequency: Only in Hakka (may reappear during training scenes)
• Relationship with Akira: Bājíquán master
• Required Facial Expressions: Refer to scenario
• Required Actions: Refer to scenario
<Personality>
• Warm-hearted, family-oriented
• Benevolent
• Can be strict when necessary to teach valuable lessons
<Other>
• One of the Bājíquán masters.
• Does not use force unnecessarily
Note: “Hakka” is an unusual name for a chapter but refers to the Hakka people. While Bailu Village is pronounced “Hakkason” in Japanese, the kanji used is different:
- 白鹿 (hakka) — meaning Bailu (white deer)
- 客家 (hakka) — referring to the Hakka people
Given the chapter order “4-22,” it’s possible this refers to a character from a subsection of Chapter 4. Perhaps Hakka was originally intended to be an area in Chapter 4. The Hakka people are known to live in Tulou buildings, which were once speculated to appear in Shenmue III’s removed Baisha region. This could suggest that Baisha was initially planned to be part of Chapter 4.
According to the original VF RPG chapter artwork, Chapter 4 is depicted as taking place in Shanghai — though this doesn’t quite align with later materials. However, in the series of Blue Scripts shown by Yu Suzuki, Chapter 4 was referred to as Guilin. This makes more sense, as the entirety of Shenmue III is set in Guilin — specifically in Bailu and Niaowu.
Since Baisha was meant to follow Niaowu, it’s reasonable to think that it, too, was considered part of the Guilin region in the original plan.
