Hao's followers (ハオ一派 Hao Ippa)[1] is one of the three largest groups competing in the Shaman Fight of AD 2000.[2] The twelve strongest became known as Hao's 12 Apostles (ハオの12使徒 Hao no 12 Shito).[3]
About

Hao's followers, at the time he found them.
After escaping the Asakura Family household right after his birth, Asakura Hao began traveling the world in search of other Shamans.[4]
Because Hao regards money as a primary reason behind the corruption in society, he refuses to use it and has his group follow the philosophy of being completely self-sufficient—even if it means stealing something to obtain it.[5]
During the Shaman Fight in AD 2000, Hao fielded four teams: "Hoshi-Gumi", "Hana-Gumi", "Tsuki-Gumi", and "Tsuchi-Gumi". Hao's personal team, Team "Hoshi-Gumi" was the only team to survive the tournament and qualify for the second and final tournament on Mū,[6] although his teammates immediately withdrew, allowing Hao to be crowned Shaman King by default.[7] Team "Tsuchi-Gumi" was the only team to lose a match in the tournament,[8] while Teams "Tsuki-Gumi" and "Hana-Gumi" were killed by Peyote Diaz and Tamurazaki Midori.[9]
Following his awakening as the Shaman King and the subsequent fight against the Five Elemental Warriors, Hao resurrected all of his followers and returned them to their home countries.[10]

Ashil
- See More: Ashil
Ashil (4Kids: "Basil") was a powerful shaman loyal to Hao. He replaced Boris' role of being the first on-screen victim of the X-Laws and their Archangels. Ashil is rather cocky and pretentious, believing it would be easy to kill Yoh and his friends because of his easily regenerating guardian ghost. Ashil has deep feelings for Hao and is quite jealous of Hao's interest in Yoh, allowing his deeper feelings to overpower his loyalty. He defied Hao to "accidentally" kill Yoh when he was ordered to kill Yoh's friends but leave Yoh alive. When the battle started, Bill Burton captures Yoh and makes sure that he does not reach his friends, who are fighting against Ashil. In the end, Ashil is shot by Marco and the Archangel Michael.

- The Shaman King collectible card game included an original follower: Lola.
