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:

—Pope John Paul II (b. 1920)
“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.”
