Yuandao Huo (Hànzì: 霍 元道, Pinyin: Huò Yuán Dào, On'yomi: Kaku Gendō), commonly referred to as the Scout (スカウト Sukauto) is a scout who spectates at street fights in Kowloon, Hong Kong to recruit new members for the Yellow Heads in the game Shenmue II.
Shenmue II[]
To enter the heavily guarded Yellow Head Building to rescue Yuanda Zhu, Kai gives Ryo Hazuki a photo of Yuandao to look for him at street fighting areas, as he will recruit skilled fighters to the Yellow Head Building. After Ryo proves to Yuandao who is in the crowds at street fighting events that he is a strong fighter, he asks Ryo to meet him at Dragon Street at dawn. He then gives him three photos of three fighters that he would like him to defeat. They are Chunyan Xu, Greg More, and Rod Stunt.
After Ryo defeats them, Yuandao meets him at Dragon St. at dawn again. He then gives him a map to the underground passage to the Yellow Head Bldg.
Once Ryo enters and meets Yuandao, Wuying Ren comes in and kicks the Scout knocking him out.
Shenmue the Animation[]
Yuandao as he appears in the anime.
Yuandao appears in Shenmue the Animation Episode 11. Kai informs both Ren and Ryo that they must enter an underground fighting arena run by the Yellow Heads and impress Yuandao. Ryo easily defeats his opponent following the tips he received from the man and using the Counter Elbow Assault technique on his opponent. Ryo continues his winning streak and after his last match, Yuandao approaches Ryo and has him meet him at Dragon Street after dark. Meeting with Yuandao, he gives Ryo a picture of a man named Greg More and says that if he's able to beat him they'll talk further. Heading into the arena area, Ryo watches a fight with a flamboyantly dressed man and then faces off against his own opponent Greg, whom he defeats with two moves. After the match, Yuandao gives Ryo instructions on the next match for him the following day.
Ryo meets up with Yuandao and is led to someplace deep inside of a building while Ren tails them as does the eavesdropper from before. Ren then takes out Yuandao after he spills where the hostages are kept and creates a distraction with Yuandao's walkie-talkie.
Trivia[]
- Yuandao's zodiac sign is Libra and he has a B blood type.
