History
"Shen Tao... the tenth Taokage. He was the most powerful Taokage in the history of Taogakure. I wonder if Chin will become such strong."

- Sha Wen, describing the 10th Taokage

Shen Tao was Chin's father, and the Tenth Taokage. During the Yan clan's invasion of Taogakure, Shen Tao had to fight his son, Yan Tao, to protect his village. Since he was not strong enough to defeat his son, who had somehow awakened his own eye technique, instead sacrificed his life to seal his son's body, leaving only his soul left in existance. However, Yan Tao was awakened from the seal by the Yan Yuuno, 3 years afterwards. The technique Shen Tao used to seal his son, Dragon's Ultimate Seal, is a secret technique developed by the First Taokage. At the cost of the user's own life, he can seal his opponent's body, only leaving the opponent's soul left in existance.

Quotes
"The Tao clan is a family. Taogakure is a family. Even if they are not family by blood, they're bonded to each other as a family. No matter how many Ninjas you have, you can never break those bonds!"

"My son, you have betrayed the Tao clan. Betrayed yourself."

"If I die, it will be in protection of Taogakure."
