Hao Asakura (麻倉 葉王 (ハオ) Asakura Hao?), also known as Zeke Asakura in the English dub of the Japanese anime, is the main antagonist in the manga and anime series Shaman King, created by Hiroyuki Takei. He is voiced by Minami Takayama in the Japanese version and Sebastian Arcelus in the English adaption. Hao is the ancestor of Yoh Asakura, the protagonist of the series, as well as his twin brother in his third life.
In Shaman King, Hao initially appears as one of many unnamed observers to Yoh Asakura and Tao Ren's match for the final qualifying spot for the Shaman Fight and resides by the Matagawa River in Tokyo with the Spirit of Fire. In his first formal appearance in Reincarnation 78, he is introduced as Hao (ハオ?), a powerful shaman who Yoh notes has an uncanny resemblance to both himself and the Patch Officiant Silva. Accompanied by a number of followers, Hao declares his intention to create a shaman-only world and expresses an immediate interest in Yoh as someone who Hao will need in the future. Hao continues to observe Yoh and his development throughout the series for the intention of eventually claiming Yoh's soul as part of his own. Hao also develops an interest in Anna Kyoyama after realizing she had the power to defeat the shikigami familiars he created and because of her strong resemblance to Asanoha Douji, his mother in his original incarnation.
