In Media
- Dragon Ball (anime and manga), contains a hermit character known as the Kame-Sen'nin, Turtle Sage, or Master Roshi.
- Naruto (anime and manga), is usually translated to sage (a hermit), using the novelized sense that the hermit is a wise old man that aids the protagonists in their quest towards some good end. The sennin are usually represented by both human and anthropomorphic toads.
- The Twelve Kingdoms also have sennin; many officials in any of the twelve kingdoms' governments are granted immortality and the rank of sennin to better serve their kingdom.
- Touhou Project's Ibara Kasen, the "The One-Armed, Horned Sennin", is a possible reference to the Ikkaku Sennin play.

Famous quotes containing the word media:
“The media transforms the great silence of things into its opposite. Formerly constituting a secret, the real now talks constantly. News reports, information, statistics, and surveys are everywhere.”
—Michel de Certeau (1925–1986)
“One can describe a landscape in many different words and sentences, but one would not normally cut up a picture of a landscape and rearrange it in different patterns in order to describe it in different ways. Because a photograph is not composed of discrete units strung out in a linear row of meaningful pieces, we do not understand it by looking at one element after another in a set sequence. The photograph is understood in one act of seeing; it is perceived in a gestalt.”
—Joshua Meyrowitz, U.S. educator, media critic. “The Blurring of Public and Private Behaviors,” No Sense of Place: The Impact of Electronic Media on Social Behavior, Oxford University Press (1985)
