Tesshin Kasumi (霞 鉄心, Kasumi Tesshin)

Father of Kenshirō Kasumi and Ramon Kasumi; he was the 61st successor of Hokuto Shin Ken. As a young man he sought to fight Liú Xuán-Xìn in the Tenju no Gi challenge, but Liú had become to old to fight. Tesshin fell in love with his daughter Yuè-Yīng and they conceived a son, Kenshiro. Tesshin once fought Wèi Ruì-Yīng, founder of Kyokujūji Sei Ken, to a draw. He remarked that Ruì-Yīng may have been able to defeat him had he not lost a leg.
