In his journey to become Shaman King, Yoh also meets with a number of rival shamans who seek to become Shaman King for their own reasons and visions of the future, some who become his allies and others who become his enemies. During Yoh's training, Manta meets Yoh's demanding fiancée, Anna Kyoyama and Yoh's spirit partner, the samurai Amidamaru. ![]() Wishing to lead a peaceful life, Yoh has been training from an early age to become the titular "Shaman King", who will be able to change the world according to his will. The series primarily focuses on a teenager named Yoh Asakura, who reveals to his classmate Manta Oyamada that he is a shaman when fighting a group delinquents led by Ryu. As a result of being focused on shamanism the series' cast is divided between humans and spirits, the latter not being able to go the afterlife due to their alliance with the former.

However, because his birthday is on the 1st of January he's normally the "same age" as everyone else. In the first volume of the manga, Len is specified to be a year younger than Yoh, which would make Len 12 years old in the manga. The manga declares his birthday to be January 1st, 1986. I hated all the humans that exist in this world."

He uses it in the tournament and it makes Bason a whole lot stronger. Len Tao also has a weapon called the "Sword of Thunder" that he got from his Uncle En after beating him. Len's weapon of choice is a Kwan-Dao (looks similar to a spear), which he fuses Bason into during battles. Len's guardian ghost is a Chinese commander named Bason, whose loyalty know no bounds. But he now intends to be Shaman King to restore his family's name and honor. With his sister Jun and his new-found friends, Len confronted his uncle En and no longer dwells in his family's shadow. But that all changed when he met and fought Yoh Asakura, whose laid back nature and friends convinced Len that his uncle was wrong about people. Len was taught to hate and see the worst in people, with the Tao family Crest magically tattooed on his back by his uncle as a reminder of his "destiny" to be Shaman King so he can punish the world for what it did to the Tao clan. Those two centuries of suffering were the fuel of the hatred En Tao bared for those outside of their clan and even more for those of the Tao family who associated themselves with outsiders like his brother, Len's father (in the Japanese version, En Tao is Len's father, not his uncle). Len is a Shaman from China, one of the few remaining members of the Tao Family, who after their years of serving as the guardians of the Forbidden City, became outcasts and condemned as witches and devils. ![]()
