Re: Random Shenmue Thoughts

How the hell was the Hazuki family so wealthy? Did Iwao have 100s of paying students or what?

I know this is old, but it's pretty clear that the Hazuki's are an old samurai family. In Yamanose, they are the biggest house at the top of the neighborhood, indicating status and importance. They have a family/clan symbol that seems to indicate a history. Remember the katana and the sword arm guard. That's a weapon of status. You should also remember that Ryo's Buddhist, and historically, martial artists who were Buddhist hailed from samurai families (i.e. WW2).

The fighting style is also well known among other people.

I know nothing about Virtua Fighter lore, but did Akira come from a family similar to that? Is there any kind of detail on similarities and differences between Akira and Ryo?
