Ziming Hong

From Shenmue - Wiki on Neoseeker

Ziming Hong (young)
Appears in	Shenmue II (in flashbacks)

Ziming Hong (pronounced "Zoo-Ming") is Xiuying's brother and they were both orphaned as children after their parents were murdered. Ziming swore revenge against the people that murdered his parents and leaves Xiuying despite her protests to not leave her alone. He goes to join the Chi You Men, saying that they will know who was responsible and that he will come back. He parts, leaving Xiuying with half of his yin yang stone, keeping the other half with him. Xiuying never saw Ziming again and she fears he has fallen onto the wrong path.

We later see in the bonus comics in the Xbox version of Shenmue II that Xiuying's fears have come to light as Ziming has not only joined the Chi You Men, but become one of the four leaders alongside LanDi, Niao Sun and an unknown fourth leader. Ziming is powerful master of Baji style, the same fighting style he taught Xiuying when they were children. Whilst not much else is revealed in this comic, Ziming does still have his half of the stone in his possession. Logical speculation would suggest that Ryo will meet Ziming at some point along his journey and the white comma bead he received from Xiuying will play a part in this confrontation.
