: A mystical old fortune teller, who appears time to time out of nowhere to talk to (or sometimes taunt) [[Kenshirō Kasumi]]. Other people may or may not notice his appearance or existence, as he seems to possess some kind of mysterious ability to make bystanders forget about him. He gave a "fate medallion" to Kenshiro as a [[wikipedia:coin flip|flip coin]] to help him make a decision when facing a serious dilemma. He also grants worthy people connected to the Hokuto clan a wish about their fate much like the time he briefly extended [[Máng Kuáng-Yún]]'s life so that he could fulfill his wish to battle Kenshiro. He meets Kenshiro the second time in a bar after the defeat of [[Jean Carné]] and tells him that there are still many strong warriors in China. The third time was in a temple after Kenshiro learned that the bandit leader was [[Pān Yù-Líng]]. The Taosit would also reveal himself to Yù-Líng in the church | : A mystical old fortune teller, who appears time to time out of nowhere to talk to (or sometimes taunt) [[Kenshirō Kasumi]].

The Taosit would also reveal himself to Yù-Líng in the church after her brother barely survived an assassination attempt. | ||
