Tom's Hot Dogs is a hot dog stand run by Tom Johnson. At first, the stand was always in Dobuita, Yokosuka, Japan but when Ryo Hazuki first arrived at the New Yokosuka Harbor District; the stand was moved to the harbor during the day, but at night it was at Dobuita. Tom's girlfriend Honey Jackson helps Tom run the stand at night in Dobuita and during the day at the harbor.
Tom has a Cassette Player (Boombox) at his stand which Ryo is free to use to play his cassette tapes. Ryo cannot buy anything, but before Tom goes back to America Ryo buys a hot dog.
Trivia[]
- In the Shenmue I & II re-release, the clown logo on Tom's hot dog truck's hair color was changed from yellow to green. A little bit of green hair was also added to the top of its head, and it bears a slight resemblance to Krusty the Clown from The Simpsons. It is unknown why this change was made, but the original logo possibly could have been a licensed photo that Sega no longer has the rights to, as this was the reason why many other photos were altered in the game.
- The clown logo on the capsule toy of Tom's hot dog truck also has the hair changed in the re-release of both games.
