Who was Li Dan?

Li Dan was a prominent early 17th century Chinese merchant originally from Quanzhou in Fujian province.

He served as the head of the Chinese community in Hirado, and maintained a residence in the English sector of the city.

Following his death, Li Dan's business was inherited by Zheng Zhilong, along with his role in the community.
