Eight Immortals
八仙 is the Chinese title for the Eight Immortals of Daoist / Taoist mythology.
In Japanese, this can be the given name Hassen.
Immortal
仙 means immortal (as in a being or person).
In some contexts, it can mean hermit, ascetic, man of the hills, or wizard. The Buddha is often put in this category.
In Chinese mythology and folklore, there is a famous group of eight immortals (八仙).
The 楞嚴經 (Śūraṅgama Sūtra) speaks of many kinds of immortals including walkers on the earth, fliers, wanderers at will (into space or into the deva heavens), beings with the ability to transform themselves into any form, etc.
