: A mysterious old fortune teller, who appears time to time out of nowhere to talk to (or sometimes taunt) [[Kenshiro 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 after disappearing. 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 similar to the time he briefly extended [[Mang Kuangyun]]'s life so that he could fulfill his wish to battle the successor of Hokuto Shinken. | : A mysterious old fortune teller, who appears time to time out of nowhere to talk to (or sometimes taunt) [[Kenshiro Kasumi]].
