==Summary==
Mercenary Tao (桃白白 or タオパイパイ, Tao Pai Pai) is an antagonist in the Dragon Ball manga, and the anime Dragon Ball, also making two filler appearances in Dragon Ball Z. He is a highly skilled assassin-for-hire, as well as the younger brother of Master Shen. He charges a hefty price for his expert services, as he normally charges ten billion Zeni per kill, but gave Commander Red a 20th anniversary discount of five billion Zeni (fifty million in the Japanese version).

*Dodonpa: The Crane School's signature technique. A superheated ray fired from the tip of his finger.
*Swordsmanship: From a capsule, Tao brings out a sword for fighting.
*Ultimate Final Strategy: Tao launches his pillar at that opponent, however, Tao's opponent kicks him, in which he begs for mercy to make his opponents drop their guard. When Tao's opponent will then walk away, Tao pulls out a hand grenade and throws it at his opponent.
*Grenade: Used to end the Ultimate Final Strategy technique.
*Hidden Blade: After Tao became a cyborg, he is able to disconnect his left hand to reveal a retractable knife.
