Taisho Rōnin (also Saishō Rōnin) is a figure belonging to the Mañjuśrī Pentad. His name designates him as a manifestation of Mañjuśri as an old man, as it is a combination of two signs from the full Chinese name of Mañjuśri (大聖文殊師利, Dasheng Wenshu Shili) and the term laoren, "old man", pronounced in Japanese as rōnin.
