I was thinking about Shenmue the other day while reading something on Digitiser about Yu Suzuki and all that he's done over the years. And then somehow I realised how similar the names `Ryo Hazuki` and `Yu Suzuki` really are...

It's true, isn't it. Both names really do sound quite similar!

I'm just wondering if Suzuki tried to make Ryo Hazuki a character based on himself, and perhaps how he would to be?

Could the whole idea of "Shenmue" be based an own personal past experience of his??

Intirguing really, isn't it?
What do you guys think?

Similiar sounding names, but probably not.
I mean, Ryo is going to turn into some kind of oriental messiah figure.
He is predestined to save the world.
He's the Christ of the piece, and Lan Di is the Anti-Christ.

But having said that, maybe some of the early gameplay happenings and environments were based on Yu Suzuki's childhood.... but that's only natural really.
