Ren Dan (丹仁 Dān Rén) is the owner of the Come Over Guest House in the Green Market Quarter, Wan Chai. He always listens to the stock market radio channel with a newspaper in his hand. He has a stern look on his face, but he doesn't seem to be a bad person.
Shenmue II[]
When Ryo Hazuki asks him for a room, he claims there is no vacancy until Ryo mentions Joy. Ryo then has to pay $38 every night which is the discounted "Joy" price.
He will answer any question Ryo has, as long as he pays his rent. If he doesn't pay, Ren Dan won't help him until he pays all the rent that is currently owed. If Ryo does not pay for several days in a row, Ren Dan claims that he'll go bankrupt and begs him to pay.
If Ryo asks Ren Dan about what kind of person Xiuying Hong is after he meets her, Ren Dan feels that it's incredible that he has met her due to her being a master of kung fu and rarely revealing her true self. [1]
If Ryo visits the Come Over Guest House after staying at the Da Yuan Apartments with Xiuying for awhile, Ren Dan will question where has he been staying although claiming not to care either way.
If Ryo still has rent that he owes Ren Dan until the day he infiltrates the Yellow Head Building in Kowloon, he will give Joy the rest of the money to give to him. This is revealed in a Notebook entry at this time. If Ryo owes more money than he has, he will give Joy all of his money.
Shenmue the Animation[]
Ren Dan as he appears in the anime.
Ren Dan appears in Shenmue the Animation. In Episode 6, Joy tells Ryo about his hotel when he is looking for a place to stay, and she says that if he mentions her name, he'll get a discount in rent. When Ryo enters the hotel, Ren Dan claims there is no vacancy, until Ryo mentions that Joy told him to come. Ren Dan then tosses Ryo the key to his room. In Episode 7, when Ryo is ready to go to sleep for the night, he asks Ren Dan for the keys to his room. He then says that if he plans to stay long, he'll have to start paying rent, even if he does know Joy, and Ryo tells him that he will. In Episode 8, Joy visits Ren Dan at the Come Over Guest House and learns from him that Ryo isn't staying there anymore. He said that Ryo even paid his rent in full, and Joy says that he better not have kicked him out. He says he didn't, and guesses that he just ran out of money.
Personality[]
Ren Dan seems to be a gambler. When Ryo asks him about a place to gamble, he encourages him not to start at his young age or he'll end up like him.

This is my, um, stock...".
