:The main character of ''[[Souten no Ken]]'' and 62nd successor to [[Hokuto Shinken]]. Known in Shanghai as {{nihongo|'''[[wikipedia:Yama (East Asia)#Yama in Chinese, Korean, and Japanese mythology|Yán Wáng]]'''|閻王|En'ō}}. Loves smoking cigarettes (because "I bleed easily so it helps to clog up my arteries"), reading, playing the piano, has an excellent sense of smell and a photographic memory. He is also fluent in Chinese, Japanese, German and ancient Hebrew.

:The son of [[Tesshin Kasumi]] and [[Liu Yueying]] and the half-brother of [[Ryūken|Ramon Kasumi]], Kenshiro was born with a Big Dipper-shaped birthmark on his head at the [[Taiseiden|Tàishèng Yuàn]] (泰聖院 Taiseiin) Temple in [[wikipedia:Ningbo|Ningbo]]. Because of this, his mother called him '''Ā-Xīng''' (阿星 ''Star''). Kenshiro stayed there until the age of 3.

:In Japan, he's a lecturer at the Tōwa Women's University. Depicted as somewhat easy going, as well as comical; compared to his [[Kenshiro|namesake and nephew]], Tetsuo Hara describes Kenshiro Kasumi as a combination of the strength of Kenshiro, the good nature of Keiji Maeda from ''[[wikipedia:Keiji (manga)|Hana no Keiji]]'' and the sarcastic attitude of the title character of ''Nakabo Rintaro''. However, he retains the stoic persona which would be eventually seen in his nephew. He uses the same catch-phrase as his nephew, {{nihongo|'''"You're already dead"'''|お前はもう死んでいる|Omae wa mō shindeiru}}, but pronounces it in Chinese, '''"Nǐ yǐ jīng sǐ le"''' ({{zh|first=t|t=儞已經死了|s=你已经死了}}).
