Hao is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series, appearing as a stranger/freak in Grand Theft Auto V and as a minor character in Grand Theft Auto Online.
History
Hao is a Chinese resident of Los Santos, who is involved with races throughout the city. He is familiar with both Lamar Davis and Franklin Clinton, and appears to be associated with The Families.
In Grand Theft Auto Online, Hao makes a brief appearance delivering a vehicle for the player to race against Lamar. He also works as the mechanic for the Los Santos Customs shop near Los Santos International Airport.
In Grand Theft Auto V, Hao challenges Franklin to a street race against him and his friends. Following the race, the player can join four more street races around the city. He also has a brief appearance during the mission Father/Son, when Franklin takes Amanda De Santa's car to Los Santos Customs. Here, Hao fixes Amanda's car.

Trivia
- If Franklin purchases the Los Santos Customs on Route 68, south of Sandy Shores in Harmony, Hao will send Franklin an email shortly after. In it, it talks about him buying the shop, and asking Franklin to not call him "boss". It is strange, because Hao works in the different garage of the company.
- Hao's dialogue in Father/Son will vary depending on Franklin's performance in the street races. If Franklin won the last one he did, Hao will vow to win the next one. If Franklin lost, Hao will taunt Franklin about the loss. If Franklin hasn't participated in one yet, Hao will encourage Franklin to do so.
- His name could be pronounced as "Hayow", which could be referencing stereotypical fighting sounds mostly associated with Chinese people.
