As everyone here probably knows Yuan is supposed to be a man, and I was searching through Japanese google and found that the Shenmue page on Japanese wikipedia lists Yuan's last name as "O'Neill" and his first name actually translates to "Ewan" which is a Europeon masculine name.
I've found other Japanese sites list that as his name as well. Is this a fact? Those are the only sites that mention it and I own 3 different Japanese Shenmue II guides and none of them list his last name.
It'd interesting if when they localized the game, they changed his original masculine name to a more effeminate one since they made him a woman.
