Niao Sun
Appears in	Said to appear in Shenmue III

Niao Sun is a character who is yet to be seen but artwork of her has been around since before the original game was released. She has appeared in promotional artwork, merchandise and in the video shown at the Shenmue Premiere Event where she was shown in a showy forest, sometimes thought to be Tibet. Additionally, it is often thought that it is her face on the cover of the Shenmue Orchestra Version soundtrack CD. Not much is known about her except that she was said to be first appearing in Shenmue III and that she is one of the four leaders of the Chi You Men. Her style of fighting is unknown and she is said to be in charge of the south, in accordance with the astrological direction of her respective heavenly beast, the red phoenix. She also appears in one of the bonus comics that can be unlocked in the Xbox version of Shenmue II alongside Ziming. A conceptual picture of the four Chiyoumen reveals she, besides Lan Di, is the only one not completely shadowed out, indicating she was intended to be one of the main antagonists of Shenmue III.
