Hu Tao[Note 2] (Chinese: 胡桃 Hú Táo) is a playable Pyro character in Genshin Impact.

Hu Tao's antics and eccentricity belies her role as the 77th Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor and her talent as a poet. Nevertheless, she treats the parlor's operations with utmost importance, and holds funeral ceremonies with the highest dignity and solemnity.

Hu Tao serves as the 77th Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, which is responsible for planning funerals and similar affairs, although she often goes on breaks during the weekends. Most of the time, she is shown to have a livelier and active side to her, often pulling pranks on other characters, but is serious regarding matters to her profession.[16][17] In the early days of Hu Tao's management of the Parlor, she was questioned by the other undertakers because of her only being thirteen at the time. Her leadership would be up to the highest Calibur and increasing prestige, satisfying the other undertakers within. This also led to the subject of funerals being less taboo within Liyue as well as how Hu Tao obtained her vision. She is also a "famous" local poet, often traveling around to accumulate materials and inspiration for her poetry.[18] She describes herself as an "alley school dark poet" and is proficient in writing doggerel, with her works being so recognizable that children tend to recite them.[13]
