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 no longer ask those who know something ... to share that knowledge with the public. Instead they ask those who know nothing to represent the ignorance of the public and, in so doing, to legitimate it.”
—Serge Daney (1944–1992)
“Never before has a generation of parents faced such awesome competition with the mass media for their children’s attention. While parents tout the virtues of premarital virginity, drug-free living, nonviolent resolution of social conflict, or character over physical appearance, their values are daily challenged by television soaps, rock music lyrics, tabloid headlines, and movie scenes extolling the importance of physical appearance and conformity.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
