Chan Ho-nam (Chinese: 陳浩南), or Andy Chan, is the protagonist of the Hong Kong comic series Teddyboy (古惑仔) which later was adapted into a film series titled Young and Dangerous. He was born in Macau on 5 December 1968. He is a part of the fictional triad "Hung Hing". He is known as a loyal, powerful and righteous member. He was recruited at the age of 14 by "Gangster B" alongside his buddies Chicken, Dai Tin Yee, Pou Pei and Chou Pan. Outside of the comics, Chan Ho-nam is one of the few that is considered a popular Manhua hero. Ekin Cheng played as Chan Ho-nam in the movie series which he became popular for while Nicholas Tse at the age of 16 portrayed as a Younger version of Ho-nam in the prequel.
