Is a master assassin who is far above the vast majority of people in the series.

Weaknesses: Kasumi Kenshiro cannot consciously use Musō Tensei. Usually won't use Hokuto Shinken against opponents he doesn't deem worthy and rarely goes all out, mostly because he almost never needs to.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Hokuto Shinken: Hokuto Shinken is a 1,800 year old Chinese martial art based around assassination and passed on only from teacher to student. Its power is based around targeting and hitting the 708 Keiraku Hikō (or pressure points) in an opponent's body, channeling energy into them, and through that, manipulating their movements. These pressure points can be used to control an enemy's body, in ways such as forcing them to move or destroying them from the inside with an explosion, or they can be used for healing, such as in the restoration of someone's memories, eyesight, or voice. Kasumi Kenshiro is the 62nd successor of Hokuto Shinken, and thus likely has knowledge of nearly every technique.
*Hokuto Hyakuretsu Ken: The signature technique of his nephew. Kenshiro unleashes a rapid flurry of over a hundred strikes to his opponent, who explodes shortly afterwards.
*Hisho Keiko: Raibo Shinkyaku: An incredibly fast moving technique, Kenshiro kicks the ground hard enough to leave a footprint where he was.
*Musō Tensei: The ultimate technique of Hokuto Shinken. Only through embracing the true nature of sorrow can one use it; Kasumi Kenshiro briefly used it while unconscious during his fight with Liu Zongwu. When used, Musō Tensei allows Kenshiro to achieve "nothingness", becoming intangible and allowing him to communicate with the souls of dead rivals and use their techniques.
*Sōryū Tenra: Along with Musō Tensei, one of the ultimate, secret techniques of Hokuto Shinken. It transports the user and their opponent to a world of absolute nothingness. In this world, all defenses, auras, and barriers are rendered null and void, forcing both fighters to use only their bare hands. When someone dies within Sōryū Tenra, they are erased, leaving nothing of their existence.
*Tenha Kassatsu: A secret technique of Hokuto Shinken. Learned from his fight with Mang Kuwangyun, it allows Kenshiro expels tōki from his fingertips, piercing his opponent's pressure points without ever having to physically touch them. He can also shoot them in the shape of the Big Dipper, punching through their body and causing serious harm.
*Tenryū Kokyū Hō: A technique that allows the user to access the full extent of their body's strength; humans only normally use 30%. Through this technique, a practitioner of Hokuto Shinken can unlock the other 70%.
*Tomon Ketsu Haisesho: A Hokuto technique where Kenshiro crushes all the bones in his opponent body.
Keiraku Hikō: The pressure points Kenshiro can hit and their effects include;
*Anbakukō: Expels poisons from one's body.
*Boushin: Causes a person to remember lost memories.
*Daikyōkin: Makes the opponent's body soft and vulnerable.
*Daishokoken: Makes the opponent unable to yell out else they will suffer the painful feeling of having their throat ripped out.
*Dōmei: Disables the opponent's eyesight.
*Gekishinkō: Rapidly speeds up the opponent's heartbeat until their blood vessels and heart burst.
*Jikyūkyō: Takes the opponent's depth perception away.
*Jinchūkyoku: Destroys the opponent's body in three seconds.
*Jōketsukai: Disables one's right leg.
*Kaiamon Tenchō: Causes great pain to an enemy who refuses to talk.
*Kenmei: Restores the target's eyesight.
*Kisha: Immobilizes the opponent.
*Kyōmei: Causes the target's hands to explode.
*Kyōnai: Permanently locks the opponent's jaws open.
*Kyosetsu: Forces the opponent to turn any weapon they're holding on themselves.
*Meimon: Causes muscle contractions so intense that they crush the opponent's spine.
*Ryūgan: Causes all the target's nerves to become hypersensitive, so the slightest touches are extremely painful.
*Sekkatsukō: Increases the user's strength at the expense of a shorter lifespan.
*Sen-yō: Freezes the opponent with their arms outstretched.
*Shihōrin: Allowed Kenshiro to read Sanskrit
*Shinfukumen: Causes the body to explode from within if the target moves at all.
*Shinkesshū: The opponent slowly, painfully dies over the course of the next three days.
*Shin-ichi: Forces the opponent to speak.
*Shitsugen: The opponent walks backwards uncontrollably.
*Zenha: Stops breathing.
*Zenchi: Makes an opponent not be able to stop doing something, even if they wanted to stop.
*Zusetsu: Can be used to erase an opponent's memory or interrogate them.
Note: Given that he is a master and successor of Hokuto Shinken, it is very likely that Kasumi Kenshiro can use every move of Hokuto Shinken itself like his nephew.
