Joy (ジョイ Joi) is a young Chinese woman who can most often be seen around Aberdeen in Hong Kong, China riding her motorcycle.
Biography
She is well known in the area because her father Chunyun Liang is a well established businessman. He trades with Master Chen in Yokosuka. As such, a lot of people know and are friendly to Joy.
Since her father trades with Master Chen, she and his son Guizhang Chen know each other very well and consider each other friends. As seen in Shenmue Side Story, Guizhang once rescued her as a little girl.
She is also friends with Wuying Ren and the various Heavens members such as Xianweng Ni (Wong).
Shenmue II
After she first meets Ryo Hazuki in Aberdeen she becomes interested in helping him out and does so on several occasions such as showing him to a place to sleep and getting him a job at the harbor. She and Wong follow Ryo and Ren to Kowloon and try to help them, but in the process Joy is captured by the Yellow Heads, at which point Ryo sets out to rescue her. After being rescued, Joy decides to stay while Ryo goes to Guilin. She says bye to Ryo with Wong.
Trivia
- Joy's zodiac sign is Leo and she has a B blood type.
- Joy mentions the words "Hang-On" when picking up Ryo over at the Come Over Guest House, a plug of the same game.
- There is an extra scene where Ryo has a short flashback about Joy in Kowloon that is easily missed. Ryo must go up to her bike near the Tea Break Building in the Dimsum Qr. and press X to trigger the extra scene. This has to be done before Ryo gets caught by Dou Niu.[1]
