Guangji Wang (Hànzì: 王高基, Pinyin: Wáng Gāojī, On'yomi: Wan Kōki) is an apprentice working at Ajiichi Chinese Restaurant in Yokosuka. He is the twin brother of Guangyan Wang, who lives at the Yan Tin Apartments in Wan Chai.
Shenmue[]
Wang drinking a cola after Ryo buys him one.
Wang usually hangs around the drink vending machine near Nagai Industries. When Ryo Hazuki approaches Wang, he says that he's thirsty but does not have any change to buy a drink. Ryo can choose to buy him a drink he recommends or not. If he does buy him a drink, he is very appreciative.
Wang telling Ryo that he can't read the letter.
When Ryo is trying to find someone to translate the Chinese letter that was sent to his father, he can ask Wang to translate it, if he asks Tao Duo Ji about the letter first. He recommends he asks Wang, and he can be found standing by the drink vending machine as usual. Wang could not translate it because the kanji is "weird" (Turns out the kanji characters were reversed) and suggests he asks his Japanese teacher Xiuyu Xia at Russiya China Shop. This only happens if Ryo buys him a drink this time. If he declines, he'll say that he doesn't have enough money to buy him a drink, even if he does have enough. He then asks him if he can translate the letter, and he says he can't, and does not refer him to Xiuyu.
Later on when Ryo is trying to find a cheap way to travel overseas, he can get the information about traveling by boat from Wang instead of Nozomi Harasaki. He reveals that when he first came to Japan as an apprentice he came by boat.
Shenmue II[]
Although Wang does not appear in Shenmue II, Ryo can meet his twin brother Guangyan Wang at the Yan Tin Apartments. He mistakes him for Wang, but learns that he is in fact his brother.
Shenmue the Animation[]
Wang as he appears in the anime.
Wang very briefly appears in Shenmue the Animation Episode 2. When Ryo is looking for someone to translate the Chinese letter that was sent to his father, he asks Wang who is sitting by the vending machine with a can of cola in his hand, and he can't read it and says there's something wrong with the kanji characters.
Trivia[]
- Wang's zodiac sign is Cancer and he has a O blood type.
