Yellow Heads

From Shenmue - Wiki on Neoseeker

The Yellow Head are a large gang that operate in Kowloon, probably the largest gang that Ryo has come across thus far as they occupy the Yellow Head Building, the biggest building in Kowloon that has entrances from all three quarters. They also occupy the Big Ox Building, thought to be either a section of the Yellow Head Building, or another building altogether that is connected to the Yellow Head Building. As well as being the largest building in Kowloon, it is also the tallest by far, the whole of Kowloon Walled City can easily be seen from it's roof. The building itself is heavily guarded, guards are placed on all the outside entrances to stop outsiders from getting inside. The only other way inside is via a secret network of sewer tunnels that run underneath the building from Thousand White Building.

The Yellow Heads are lead by Dou Niu, a large man in height and build who is also incredibly strong, although is beaten with relative ease by Xiuying at one point. In the upper levels of the Big Ox Building, stone bust carvings of him can be seen, aswell as large portraits of him. Yuan could be considered his second in command and right-hand man as portraits of him also can be seen on the upper floors, that and the two also seem to be involved in some kind of relationship. Additionally, the gang, or at least Dou Niu, have some sort of rivalry with Ren of Heavens although the exact details of this aren't really explained.

The gang also have connections with the Chi You Men and have been given the task of finding Yuanda Zhu. Due to the Yellow Heads methods they are able to get Yang, a former associate of Yuanda Zhu, to pass information to them and are eventually able to find Yuanda Zhu to turn him over to LanDi. However this doesn't go according to plan as Yuanda Zhu is saved by the combined efforts of Ryo, Ren, Wong and Joy and Ryo is even able to defeat Dou Niu in battle. After Ryo heads to Guilin, this is the last we hear of the Yellow Heads.
