Tao Jun is a fictional character in the manga and anime series of Shaman King. She is a Dàoshì from the Chinese Tao Family and the older sister of Tao Ren. Sometime after the Shaman Tournament in the year 2000 she was made the Vice-President of her brother´s company, the Leidi Group. Jun is a tall, slender young woman who has long pine green hair that is layered in length, spiked up, and is neatly clipped while her eyes are indigo. She wears a black and green cheongsam decorated with a golden dragon and a panda in the middle. The cheongsam had a high slit and she wears a garter that holds her Fulu talismans on her left leg. She is considered rather attractive. Like Ren, she once thought that her Jiang Shi was only a tool to be used for the family's ambition. However, after facing Yoh, she soon changed her opinion. Jun was taught by her father that her most important duty was to care for the Tao Family. Thus she heavily believes in Ren's abilities and will do almost anything to make him Shaman King. She is also very confident in herself and in her Jiang Shi Lee Pyron saying that as a Kung-Fu Master he would be more powerful than Amidamaru who was only a mere samurai. Though later on since her changing viewpoints, Jun would have a much more mutual relationship with Pyron and would overall serve a much more supportive role to Yoh's group.
Shaman King
A battle is about to begin in Tokyo: the Shaman Fight, a tournament held every five hundred years where shaman—those who can command spirits—confront each other in combat. The victor of this contest becomes the Shaman King and the only one who is able to contact and control the Great Spirit, allowing them to reshape the world as they please through its immense power. During a late night walk, Manta Oyamada runs into his classmate, the carefree You Asakura, who invites him to come stargazing with some friends, who, to Manta's horror, turn out to be ghosts from a local cemetery! However, the knowledge that Manta possesses—a rare sixth sense that allows Manta to see these spirits—endears the boy to You. So when You finds out that his new comrade has been beaten up by a local gang, he decides to avenge him with the help of Amidamaru, a samurai ghost whose tomb was broken by the gang leader. Soon Manta uncovers more about the world of spirits, including the Shaman Fight, in which his new friend You aims to claim victory.
Shaman King (2021)
Shamans are extraordinary individuals with the ability to communicate with ghosts, spirits, and gods, which are invisible to ordinary people. The Shaman Fight—a prestigious tournament pitting shamans from all over the world against each other—is held every five hundred years, where the winner is crowned Shaman King. This title allows the current incumbent to call upon the Great Spirit and shape the world as they see fit. Finding himself late for class one night, Manta Oyamada, an ordinary middle school student, decides to take a shortcut through the local cemetery. Noticing him, a lone boy sitting on a gravestone invites Manta to stargaze with "them." Realizing that "them" refers to the boy and his ghostly friends, Manta flees the terror. Later, the boy introduces himself as You Asakura, a Shaman-in-training, and demonstrates his powers by teaming up with the ghost of six-hundred-year-old samurai Amidamaru to save Manta from a group of thugs. You befriends Manta due to his ability to see spirits, and with the help of Amidamaru, they set out to accomplish You's goal of becoming the next Shaman King.
