- ―Gongjue telling Ryo that life is like capsule toy machines.
Gongjue Zhou (舟功訣 Zhōu Gōng Jué) is a fanatic and collector of capsule toys. He devotes himself to them and can be seen buying capsule toys or around pawnshops to sell his duplicates. He is obsessed with collecting them and gives Ryo Hazuki advice on selling his toys at pawnshops. He also considers Ryo to be his rival in trying to collect them all.
Shenmue II[]
Ryo can first meet Gongjue when he first arrives at Hong Kong, around Wan Chai, or at Kowloon. If he meets him when he first arrives at Hong Kong or around Wan Chai, then when he arrives at Kowloon; Gongjue is surprised to see that he came to Kowloon too. He challenges him to see who can collect all the rare toys first.
Gongjue doesn't collect the capsule toys for money, he just pawns his extras. He says capsule toys symbolically express his dreams and that life is like the capsule toy machines; you never know what will turn up.
