Several of the members of the foreign sailor gang.
The sailors (船員 Sen'in) are an unnamed gang of foreign sailors who work at the New Yokosuka Harbor District. The leader is Harry Thompson. They are connected with the Mad Angels gang that operates at the harbor and are involved in a lot of their illegal dealings. They also harass new workers at the harbor and demand "insurance" money from them. Their usual hangout spot is at the Heartbeats Bar, a shady bar down the alleyway of Dobuita. The bartender there, Yoshifumi Hato caters to thugs like the sailors.
The sailors are reoccurring antagonists in the game Shenmue, but are only minor antagonists in Shenmue the Animation, appearing only in Episode 2.

Trivia[]
Mark as a part of the sailor gang.
- Since the sailors being their own smaller gang that is connected with the Mad Angels is not directly stated in the game, many confuse them for being members of the Mad Angels. Even the Official Shenmue Perfect Guide published by Versus Books incorrectly lists them as members of the Mad Angels.
- As seen in the Japanese What's Shenmue? VHS tape, Mark Kimberly was originally going to be a part of the sailor gang, and possibly be the leader, since Harry Thompson took his place in the final game and is the leader. Mark was instead made a forklift operator at the harbor.
