Biography
Name
The Turtle Hermit's given name is not known. Akira Toriyama initially just called him the "Turtle Hermit", but then he decided to give him a more impressive title, "Muten Rōshi".
There really isn't any great reason; Kame Sen'nin just didn't seem like all that amazing a name for whatever reason, so I thought up a name that sounded suitably renowned and powerful.
— Akira Toriyama[4]
武 (mu) stands for all things martial, while 天 (ten) means "heaven" and 老師 (Rōshi) means an old master or teacher.
For the name "Kame Sen'nin", 亀 (kame) means "turtle", while 仙人 (sen'nin) is a type of sage or saint in Japanese folklore. They generally live in the mountains and gain miraculous powers through asceticism, and they are accompanied by familiars such as a toad, a horse, or a tortoise. The Japanese sen'nin are derived from the Xian of Chinese Daoism.
