A playable Pyro character in Genshin Impact. She is the 77th Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, a person vital to managing Liyue's funerary affairs.
Many of her attacks scale based on how low her HP is. As a result, comic fanart tends to depict her as masochistic, or at the very least disliking healers.
In Chinese and Japanese, the two kanji that spell Hu Tao's name have the meaning of "walnut", but Hu is her family name while Tao is her given name. She is the only Liyue character with her family name displayed on the in-game character menu. Japanese fans sometimes accidentally (or deliberately) misspell her name as Kurumi, the Japanese word for "walnut"; however, her name is pronounced Hu Tao even in the Japanese version of the game.
