YuYu Hakusho

Hiei is the shortest of the four main characters at only 4' 10" during the Dark Tournament (excluding his hair) as stated by Juri . At the end of the series, an artbook puts him at 5'3". His height is never mentioned in the anime or manga, aside from the DT reference. Despite his short size, he has a lean, muscular build to him. He wears a white headband that conceals his Jagan Eye, which is placed on his forehead and has a purple iris. His eyes are crimson (blood red), with a sharp and angular shape, giving him a very sinister look in the beginning of the series. He has raven-black hair, which is styled spiky upwards, with bangs falling over his face, and white streaks above his bangs.
His skin complexion is regular peach-tan and slightly darker than Yusuke in the 2018 OVA adaptation and recent videogames. Despite the similarity to Vegeta in appearance and personality, Hiei was actually based on the character Scunky from Patarillo!. His live-action appearance appears different than his anime counterpart; he has short black hair combed into an upward pompadour style and has no white streaks. His white headband where he covers his Jagan eye has no tie and is replaced by black stitches sewn on each side. His Jagan eye appears to be smaller than his anime counterpart and instead of getting surgery from Shigure, Hiei himself had made the Jagan eye by pointing the tip of the Conjuring Blade on his forehead.
Living up to his classic villainous persona, he usually dresses entirely in black. He wears a long black overcoat (with a white scarf) and black pants tucked into black boots. In its initial appearance, he wears nothing beneath his cloak-like jacket and has a red tie at the center of his black pants but it was soon changes into two white belts where he frequently carries a sword with him that was strapped across his back. He later wears a black (and sometimes pale blue) sleeveless undershirt beneath the cloak-like jacket. He is the only one of the four main characters to never change his primary 'costume' during the series. The only exception was when he briefly wore light-colored Chinese battle costume at the start of the Dark Tournament competition (though he apparently wore his normal pants, shoes, and shirt under it). In the live-action adaptation, his outfit is a combination between his cloak-like jacket look and his Chinese battle costume. His black jacket has a large gray V-neck line to reveal his white turtleneck, his black pants appear baggy and his two white belts had another set of two white belts, making him wearing four belts and he wears a pair of white ancient wooden shoes.
Before mastering the Dragon of the Darkness Flame , he kept his right arm covered in bandages and bindings to keep the dragon from escaping. After gaining full control over it, a dragon tattoo now covers the arm and is visible when the bandages are removed. In the live-action adaptation, he rips the right sleeve of his jacket to reveal the white bandages and bindings and once it was removed, the dragon tattoo covers the right arm through his right hand.
In his battle against Bui at the Dark Tournament competition and through the near end of the Chapter Black Saga , his black pants was updated as it shows its socks from his black boots and the white belt now gained five straps with a purple buckle.
In the Three Kings Saga , Hiei has minor changes from his primary attire with the exception of his black cloak-like jacket. His black pants is similar to ninja tights and his black boots are replaced with black martial arts shoes and white long shins which is tucked into his pants. He also regains his red belt from his initial appearance and is now rolled up into two.

Hiei prefers to keep his distance from others, so he often comes across as aloof and elusive. He has a rather cynical and even misanthropic view of the world around him, often belittling and mocking humans and their emotions and the significance they place on friendship and life. And while he is relatively taciturn, he occasionally squabbles with and insults his teammates, especially Kuwabara , due to their differing personalities. It is obvious that deep down he holds a certain amount of respect and kinship for his teammates, but seems to be closest to Kurama and Yusuke. While he holds an affinity of kinship towards demons, this goes as equally far as his preference for humans, despising weaker demons, including braggarts and "tourists" who lack impetus for a degree of respect from him.
As a fighter, Hiei is very unbiased when it comes to his enemies. He shows the same degree of ruthlessness to his foes — regardless of age or gender. This is seen when he terrorizes Ruka and the Masked Fighter with threats of death as his power is returning. According to Kurama, however, he has an honor code that prevents him from going all out against an opponent he perceives as weaker than himself. In battle, Hiei has killed the most opponents on the team- often making good on a threat he made at the outset. He is also phenomenally arrogant, and has a tendency to underestimate his opponents; this was noted to be one of his greatest weak points, which people such as Genkai were very aware of, that lead to Hiei's defeat against Yuu Kaito 's Power of Taboo.
Apparently, this later invoked heavy irony as Hiei mocked Yusuke for being able to defeat Toguro , yet was able to get easily captured by humans, only for Hiei to experience the same result which was contradictory to Yusuke's expectations. Despite belittling Kuwabara's intelligence at every opportunity he gets, he himself is not a terribly cerebral fighter. His basic tendency in battle is to charge in at full power and simply overwhelm his opponent. However, he can still be quite a clever combatant when the situation calls for it. However, he shows a surprising degree of sincerity, warmth, and protectiveness when around Yukina.
It is made clear in both the anime and the manga that he holds the demoness Mukuro in high esteem, perhaps higher than any other character. He respects her for her power and accomplishments. At the end of the series, there is clearly a bond between them, as it is made clear that its by his choice that he remains at her side. He also goes out of his way to free her from her past, breaking her shackle in the anime and delivering her abusive father to her as a birthday present in the manga.
Hiei prefers to remain focused on his own agenda, and has a notorious reputation in Demon World as a killer even when he was a D Class demon. Despite this, deep down he has struggled with his identity as a loner and his abandonment.

In the manga, Hina's appearance is never depicted as she was already dead. The anime shows her to resemble an older Yukina with mint-green hair worn in a ponytail in the lower back and longer bangs on opposite sides of her face. She wore a white kimono like most of her kind.

Though not much of her personality was revealed, one can assume that Hina was different from other Ice Apparitions in that she was willing to break their laws and find a man. Moreover, in spite of Hiei's gender and dangerous power, she still loved him deeply enough to plead for her elders to spare him.


YuYu Hakusho

Hinageshi is a diminutive female with vibrant red-orange hair and green eyes. When stationary, a lock of her hair sticks upward at an angle. She wears traditional shinto priestess garb and red hakama. She also wears red sandals over white socks.


YuYu Hakusho

Tall and slim, Hirue, in his human form, possesses a rather scrawny build, making him appear less than intimidating to those around him. His facial expression seems rather fiendish, resulting from his thin, wicked smile, his mysterious black glasses (in the anime only), and the slight tilt of his brown, unsubstantial eyebrows. The obscurity of Hirue's face is capped off by his narrow, indented jaw; his long, rounded chin; and his rather large cranium, which is surrounded by short, dark-blue hair. Uncharacteristic of an apparition gang demon, Hirue is dressed in normal business clothes, consisting of a white, button-down shirt, a long black necktie, a brown suit and pants, and a pair of black shoes. However, when transformed into his demon form, Hirue nearly doubles in size, possessing green skin and large, plant-like features. Located in the middle of his stomach and on the palms of his hands are bizarre extra mouths, similar in structure to those of Venus fly traps, surrounded by sharp, protective peculiarities. Below his torso lie eight oversized sepal-like appendages, bearing pronounced resemblance to the tentacles of an octopus or a squid. Perhaps most eccentric, however, is Hirue's tube-shaped mouth, analogous to a mosquito's proboscis. In Tournament Tactics, there is an extremely similar race of demons (only without the hair and a slightly different color) referred to as an "Anteater Demon".

Like most demons, Hirue possesses no loyalties to anyone of his kind other than his foreman, causing him to have no qualms about Yukina 's imprisonment. Nonetheless, he bases a lot of his judgement on appearance, gauging foes' power levels simply on their outward mien. Yusuke and Kuwabara are no exception; observing them as pathetic humans, Hirue underestimates their abilities, ultimately leading to his own downfall.


YuYu Hakusho

Hokushin resembles a monk, both in appearance and fighting style. With swift attacks and elegant defense, he is rather graceful in battle. He is bald, wearing blue robes with a gray vest decorated with dark triangles.

When Raizen chose not to eat humans anymore, Hokushin stayed loyal, but continued his eating habits but only in order to survive and retain his strength. He claims that he will stop once he can afford to, or when the power struggle is over. Hokushin is very kind and polite, as well as respectful to his master, though he does show a degree of arrogance to weaker opponents. Hokushin is also a strategical fighter who can point out flaws in his enemy and exploit them to his advantage. While hopelessly overpowered by Yusuke, he entangled him with his neck, tying him in place long enough to end their game in his favor.


YuYu Hakusho

Imajin is a tall, slender man who is even taller than Zeru. He wears a long sleeved white shirt with black pants and a red necklace. He also has long, curly brown hair and wears sunglasses. He bears an uncanny resemblance to John Lennon and his name is likely a reference to his song "Imagine".

Most of his personality is unknown, but it is shown that he is cowardly when he runs away after Zeru's death at the hands of Hiei.


YuYu Hakusho

Itsuki has white pale skin, long, teal hair that is parted down the middle with short bangs pushed to the sides of his face. He wears a red sleeveless undershirt, white sleeveless loose tunic, and a yellow obi sash tied around his waist.
In flashbacks, he is seen with his hair tied back in a ponytail adorned with a ribbon and wears a traditional Chinese-style outfit reminiscent of Hiei and Kurama 's clothes in the Dark Tournament but in a traditional Japanese-style. He wears a purple long Japanese vest with a pale yellow long sleeved traditional kimono shirt, a pair of matching traditional pants, white tabi and a matching pair of geta sandals.
In his first meeting with Sensui in his high school years, his hair is loose like his current self and he wears a modern casual outfit.

Itsuki is renowned for his unwavering love and loyalty to Sensui, which budded from a morbid fascination with the young man’s ruthless methods of eradicating demons and his immaculate moral character. Itsuki is familiar with all of Sensui’s personalities, stating that he's especially fond of his arrogant and stubborn personality. However, this does not rival his affection for Sensui’s original, bloody personality. Sensui never visibly reciprocates Itsuki's love on screen. Itsuki displays an externally stoic, relaxed, and philosophical demeanor, rarely showing signs of agitation.
Itsuki also has a twisted sense of humor and enjoyment, as he states that as Sensui's mind became more and more twisted after Sensui's last Spirit Detective case, Itsuki did nothing as he enjoyed watching his soul darken.


YuYu Hakusho

Mr. Iwamoto is a bespectacled man in his 30s with short black hair who wears a green suit with a yellow necktie.

Iwamoto claims to strongly care for the reputation of his school, though actually he seems to care only about himself. He is a hypocrite, as he is extremely critical of delinquents and thinks they are the scum of society who deserve to die, yet, when he sees a valuable fountain pen, in attempting to frame Yusuke, he "appropriates" it (steals it). However, it led to his own downfall.
When Yusuke died, he viewed this as a positive development as Yusuke's selfless sacrifice would improve the reputation of the school, but agreed with Mr. Akashi that it was more likely that he was chasing after the boy and just happened to get hit by the car.
He seems to like Keiko for her consistently good grades and constantly orders her to stop hanging out with Yusuke, while she mocks him behind his back.
Mr. Iwamoto is Yusuke's mortal enemy at Sarayashiki Junior High. Iwamoto hates Yusuke and feels that delinquents like him besmirch the name of Sarayashiki Junior High and should be expelled.


YuYu Hakusho

His shinobi robe is a black cloak like the rest of his team wears, with a pointy hood which bears a white pentagon symbol on it. Without the robes on Jin reveals his true identity. Jin looks similar to an imp and even a sprite, having a small horn in the middle of his forehead and long, pointed ears which become more elf-like when he is excited, like during his battle with Yusuke Urameshi . He also has an overbite, with a canine tooth on his left side resting on his lower lip. He has thick, shoulder-length, red hair and blue eyes. He is also bigger than Toya , being nearly a foot taller in height. He wears a white garment, resembling a toga, with white, baggy pants which are held up by a blue obi sash and arm guards, both sporting a prominent red gem in the center.

Jin has a cheerful and upbeat personality. Jin speaks with a strong Irish accent (in the English dub) and has a serious disdain for one teammate in particular, the brutish Bakken - in the manga, before fighting Yusuke, he tells him that Bakken "really was a big, dumb jerk" but asked him not to tell Risho he said that. He tells Yusuke that a fighter shouldn't bring outside hostilities and anger into a match, and that they should enjoy themselves, especially when they are battling for their lives. Despite, or perhaps because of his sunny disposition, Jin is an incredibly talented fighter who throws himself whole-heartedly into a match. Also in the English dub, he has low respect for teachers or anyone who tells him what to do, and similarly to Yusuke, even develops his own techniques to prove he doesn't need or want to be mentored by whoever they are.

Jin and Toya friendship

He is assumed friends with Toya, since one is almost never seen independent of the other, except when fighting, and they stick together after the Dark Tournament. His relationship with his other team members is unknown.
As noted by both Kurama and Hiei , Jin resembles Yusuke in many ways, something Jin admits in the English dub. This made fighting each other relatively impossible, as they both take risks and love to have fun in battle. Their similarities have led the two to become great friends.


YuYu Hakusho

Jorge is an ordinary sized Polo Blue ogre with long, balding platinum blond hair. He has one horn on his forehead and usually wears a brown loincloth with black stripes around his waist.

Jorge is usually outspoken and laid-back. He is always trying to help Koenma and points out that Koenma should have more faith in Yusuke and the others. Unlike Koenma, Jorge is more upbeat, down-to-earth, and has faith that Yusuke can always pull through somehow, despite the fact that, as an anime-exclusive character, the two rarely interact. Jorge is noticeably unsatisfied with his job, and on more than one occasion has tried to pursue his dream of being an announcer or singer. Still, Jorge usually takes the brunt of Koenma's frustration (in one instance, Koenma mentioned to wanting to give Jorge a lobotomy) with minimal resistance, occasionally playing similar tricks on Koenma (such as stealing the steamed crab he tricked Koenma into putting down).
From the beginning, Jorge is always seen with Koenma either bringing him paperwork or helping Koenma catch up on his unfinished work. Later on, he's seen as Koenma's assistant during the following arcs. He mostly serves as comic relief or the "voice of reason" for Koenma himself.
During the Chapter Black saga, Jorge and Koenma's relationship improves somewhat.  Koenma starts referring to Jorge by name, and the two become more willing to express concern and fondness for each other.


YuYu Hakusho

Juri is an unknown type of sea creature demon, given the webbed tail and ears as well as the fin-tipped tail. Juri has mint-green hair, like Yukina . Her skin is tan and she wears blue lipstick and eyeshadow. She wears a tight black bodysuit with a hole in the front and back which exposes her belly, navel and back. She also wears a small pink top, a matching pink skirt, red arm and leg warmers, a small purple bow tie, and a pink bandana. Juri is apparently something of an idol of the Human and Demon Worlds .

Juri doesn't seem to be as sadistic as Koto (though only in the English dub version was she a sadist), but she seems much more cowardly as she is seen constantly fleeing away from the fight when she gets scared, claiming she is not paid well enough or curled in a fetal position wondering where her "mamma" is. She is also a good deal more squeamish than her friend, often expressing disgust at the remains of dead contestants.  Despite this, she is still somewhat professional, as she noticed that during the fight between Kurama and Karasu , Kurama had fallen and she began to count. Due to this, even though Kurama had killed Karasu, he lost the match as he had been down for just over ten seconds. Like Koto, she doesn't seem to hold any prejudice against Team Urameshi .
In the manga epilogue and in the All or Nothing special, it is shown that she had changed her line of work (in the anime, she's seen working as a waitress during the Demon World Tournament ). Now, she has become a famous character in Demon World, enough to win a cult of supporters, along with Ruka and Koto where she develops a crush on Suzuki , which is also shown in an ad during the events of Eizou Hakusho .


YuYu Hakusho

He is a mischievous little imp with blue skin, yellow eyes, purple hair, and two tiny horns. He has five previous convictions and is able to take control of other's minds and influence their dark side into committing evil deeds. When he does this for the sixth time, to Sakamoto , Yusuke manages to beat Sakamoto up and force Jyaki out, leading to his apprehension.


YuYu Hakusho

Kai was an older-looking man with a braided ponytail and a mustache who appeared to have been of Chinese descent. He wears a Chinese Mandarin-style pink buttoned cheongsam with yellow lines, pants, and black shoes.


YuYu Hakusho

Kaisei is a young boy with long brown hair and blue eyes. He has a peach to tan skin complexion. He was seen wearing a yellow jacket with a red collared shirt underneath, and black jeans.

Despite Kaisei's age, he has a very protective and courageous personality when it comes to defending his mother, but also has the proper behavior for his age. He has expressed interest in becoming a Spirit Detective like his mother and Yusuke.


YuYu Hakusho

Despite being a psychic with incredible power, Kaname appears to be a regular teenager. He is often seen wearing a red leather jacket with a gray belted collar in the center, a dirty white loose undershirt, charcoal gray jeans and black shoes. He has pale skin, violet eyes, almost concealed by his long black hair. He is also often seen riding his motorcycle. He slightly resembles Yusuke without his hair slicked back and a less expressive face, most noticeably his narrower eyes. He vaguely resembles the older version of Koenma .
In the epilogue of the Chapter Black saga, he wears a different casual outfit instead of his standard male school uniform, which consists of a black long sleeved loose button-up shirt, pale blue jeans and black shoes from his main outfit.

Kaname is the typical representation of a bad boy: reckless, cocky, and independent, but also stoic and reserved. He seems to enjoy chasing Yusuke and appears to think of himself as invincible. Like the other members of Sensui's crew, Kaname appears to be easily manipulated and controlled, obeying Sensui's orders without a second thought. Unlike the other members, he does not possess a grudge against humanity; he merely joined Sensui out of boredom, an elucidated sense of cynicism of the world around him, including the perception that the everyday people around him (other than his relatives) are incredibly stupid, and the want to get away from it all, meaning he might know what he was getting into. He is the only member of Sensui's Seven, besides Itsuki, to not care about what is shown in Chapter Black . Though arrogant and ruthless, he does care about his family and seems to have a soft spot for small animals, as he is seen pursuing his classmates who killed a stray kitten after his sister informs him.


YuYu Hakusho

Karasu is a tall, slender demon male, with his teammate Toguro dwarfing him by only a few inches. He resembles a young, Japanese adult male, having very long, straight, jet-black hair and violet eyes with pointy eyelids. Some of his hair bangs are messily arched above his head and on his face. Karasu is slightly flamboyant, as he wears a long, wavy black coat with a red inside, which appears as if it's flying while he is running or jumping, since the jacket mirrors a pair of bat wings. On the bottom half of his face lies a metallic mask, with a couple strands of tape to help keep the mask on, eight breathing holes and a pair of horizontal triangular lenses akin to tiny reading glasses. This mask allows him to speak normally, and plays a more essential part during his fights, since it restrains his demon energy to a minimum. Karasu also wears a pair of dress slacks and shoes which compliment his look making him appear almost "business-like" at times. When unleashing his demon energy as his mask was removed, his long jet-black hair changed to blond.
HIs live-action appearance is like his anime counterpart and no longer has messily arched bangs and his metallic mask is black, resembling an ordinary face mask. The collar of his coat is black and he wears a black formal vest and a white long sleeve button-up shirt beneath his coat. His hands appear demonic as opposed to his normal ones when he uses demon energy to reveal his demon explosives. When his demon energy was activated after his mask was removed, it was in contrast to his anime counterpart whose long jet-black hair changed to blond. He maintains his long jet-black hair but his skin turns yellowish.

Karasu is calm and collected, not getting rattled by his opponents. He is quiet and polite, as he does not speak often, but he does speak formally when addressing others. He noticeably dislikes opponents who are cowardly, instead preferring opponents who are brave enough to face him. He also seems to dislike opponents who are weaker than him, preferring to face opponents who possess either the same level of skill as him or are a bit stronger than him.
Karasu comes off as being very dark. When he first met Kurama , he told him that Kurama is weak, but is fragile, as he views humans that way. He admits that Kurama makes him happy but then states that he enjoys being blue so whenever he encounters someone who makes him happy he has to kill them. Karasu claims to enjoy the relationship between victim and murderer, stating that before the murderer kills their victim the two share a level of intimacy which is too deep for words. He also views love as a sadomasochistic relationship, believing that lovers care deeply for each other and yet hurt each other whenever they are together.
When his mask is removed however, Karasu's true personality shines through. He laughs maniacally as he charges his attack to attack Kurama in his Yoko form. Younger Toguro states Karasu has no loyalties, so he'd be willing to kill his own teammates if they get caught in the crossfire. He is also noticeably ruder than before, mockingly telling Kurama to pray to his God and ask how he flawed with him.
In spite of his calm attitude, a trait shared with Bui , Karasu had a deep hatred for the Toguro Brothers, who had defeated him in a fight several years prior to the Dark Tournament. Upon defeating him, they made him their slave and told him that he belongs to them until he becomes strong enough to defeat them in battle. Elder Toguro notes that Karasu joined Team Toguro in the hopes that after they win the tournament he can settle score with the demonic brothers.
Karasu and Bui have a different relationship from the Toguro Brothers. Unlike the Toguro Brothers, who are very close, Karasu and Bui seem detached from each other. Karasu and Bui respect each other but when Karasu died at Kurama's hands, Bui was indifferent. It can be assumed that if Bui had died first Karasu would be indifferent as well.


YuYu Hakusho

He has a mirrored Buddhist manji (卍) symbol tattooed on the middle of his forehead, which looks similar but is not related to a swastika (卐). He has a shaved head, has tan-colored skin and wears iron armor under his dark red shinobi outfit (装束, shōzoku , literally translated as costume ).

Kazemaru is a ruthless combatant in battle, but he is still abided by a strong set of principles and was overall an honorable man.


YuYu Hakusho

Kuwabara has a defined muscular build with broad shoulders. He is the tallest member of the team, standing at about six feet—making him exceptionally tall by typical Japanese height standards, as this is considered well above average. He has thick red-orange hair that is greased back into a pompadour-type hairstyle that is popular with delinquents. He has an angular face with narrow gray eyes (revealed in The Cape of No Return ), high cheekbones and a slender pointed nose. His live-action appearance has his hair color changed from red-orange to ginger and his pompadour style haircut is replaced with a crew cut which was brushed back and has brown eyes instead of gray.

Manga-exclusive outfit from the Genkai Tournament .

His overall appearance, as well as his dress sense, are likely a homage to the classic Japanese 'bad boy' mythology from the 1950s. While in school, he wears a light blue jumpsuit, in contrast with Yusuke's green one and the dark blue ones worn by rest of the male students in Sarayashiki Junior High . In the live-action adaptation like Yusuke, his school jacket is open to reveal his white tank top and his jumpsuit is blue with the interior being gold and black. In his initial appearance, he has a purple open loose button-up with gold and black flower designs within his white tank top.
In the anime series, he wears his school uniform most of the time for the first few major parts of the story (in fact, for all of the first season and half of the second). In the manga, he wore street clothes during Genkai's Tournament — including a baseball jersey inscribed with things like Motor Head and Iron Fist written on it.
In several episodes, it can be seen that he preemptively binds his abs with bandages, much like a classic brawler. This look is also seen in the live-action adaptation where he mastered the Spirit Sword by forming Spirit Energy on the wood branch he had wielded to slash a rock in half. He also occasionally dons headbands, such as his "Fighting Headband of Love" when he set out to rescue Yukina.
In later parts of the story, for particularly significant battles (such as the finals in the Dark Tournament competition ), he dresses up as a Bosozoku , an old-fashioned stereotypical Japanese biker thug. This outfit includes a full length white military overcoat, with his family name emblazoned on the back in kanji, white pants tucked into black jackboots, and bandages wrapped around his abs. His use of his spirit sword in this costume is likely a homage to the fact that Bōsōzoku were rumored to have wielded wooden Kendo swords as weapons.
During Chapter Black Saga , Kuwabara wears different casual outfits. When he and his friends watch a rock concert and struggles to battle Seaman on his territory, Kuwabara wears a long sleeved openly white hoodie as the length of his jacket is the same as his white military overcoat with an orange trim, a dark blue short sleeved undershirt, blue jeans with a black belt around his waist and black sneakers. This outfit was also ruined when he was attacked by Mitarai.
As he was captured by Sensui , he only wears a blue gray short sleeve loose shirt, navy blue jeans and black sneakers. His outfit is similar to Yusuke's outfit but in different colors.
In All or Nothing , Kuwabara wears the same look in the Chapter Black saga where he battles Mitarai but in a minor color change; his hoodie is now yellowish brown, his short sleeved undershirt is white and his jeans became darker.

Kuwabara is consistently described as being stupid and ugly. However, he is extremely loyal to his friends and has a very strict code of honor. He would do anything for his friends and for love. He can be clumsy, reckless, rude and is also stubborn, persistent, and also has a great sense of humor. He doesn't give up a fight, even if he is injured. He has a temper, but it is not as bad as Yusuke's. He has a kind heart (being considered the kindest of the four main characters) and an honest nature. Also, he dislikes fighting girls.
Despite his clumsiness, Kuwabara has demonstrated that he can be clever and a quick thinker. While not an intellectual genius like Kurama, Kuwabara is more than competent thanks to his hard work and being quite persistent. When having to pass a science exam with at least a score of 50 points, as a part of the condition to save Okubo's part time job, Kuwabara spent all his time studying reading books of science, and as a result he managed to sucessfully pass the exam. He also has a great intuition. While being trapped in a room trying to save Yusuke, Kuwabara considered the posibility that the drinks in that place were poisoned, something Kaito, one of the greatest students at Kurama's academy who is capable of being on pair of Kurama's intellect, recognized and admitted he didn't even consider that posibility.
He is deeply in love with the ice apparition Yukina, whom he fell in love with at first sight. However, Kuwabara's romantic gestures and phrasing goes over her head due to Yukina not understanding what love is. Despite this, there is a strong bond between them as he was able to telepathically converse with her and is healed more efficiently by her healing powers.


YuYu Hakusho

Keiko has dark brown hair in a full fringe and reddish-brown eyes. In the beginning of the Spirit Detective Saga until saving Yusuke's body from a burning house, her hair is shoulder length tied in two small braids in each side. After Yusuke's revival and onwards, her hair is styled into a bob. Her live-action appearance depicts her with a short bob.
Her prominent appearance has her wearing a standard winter school uniform and her casual outfits that she wears are mostly sweater jackets with a white long sleeve button shirt underneath in skirts or denim shorts.
As the series goes on, Keiko's figure eventually becomes womanlier, and as crudely pointed out by Yusuke, has gained a "nice ass" in the English dub.

Keiko's appearance in the anime's epilogue.

At the end of the anime series, Keiko has grown noticeably taller, her hair grows longer and wears a green standard school uniform for senior girls. In the All or Nothing special, Keiko's hair is styled back into her original shoulder length and is no longer tied in a braid but is loose, and she wears a gray long-sleeved shirt, pale blue jeans and black flats, but in the ending of said OVA, she has her hair long again, like in the anime series.

Keiko is Yusuke's childhood friend, and later they became a couple. They grew up and studied together in the same school since they were kids. In many ways, Keiko is the opposite of Yusuke. She is sweet and calm, but sometimes she gets angry. But she is mostly angry at Yusuke. She is also equally known for her intelligence (she is the class representative of their section) and dependability.
As a class representative, she often scolds Yusuke because of his bad student habits like skipping classes and being absent for many times but inside, she really wants to protect him. She and Yusuke are a lot closer than they would like to be sometimes (i.e. Yusuke groping her etc.), but nonetheless, it is clear that they love each other.
Despite her sweet nature, it is revealed she has a short temper which is more often revealed in her interactions with Yusuke, who tends to annoy her with his at times insensitive comments (most of the time he never means to be insensitive or hurt her feelings) and is willing to retaliate with punches towards Yusuke. She has also shown to be very thoughtful, understanding Yusuke's growing attachment to the demon world and his occupation as a spirit detective because it was the first place he felt he truly loved, showing the depth of her closeness and relationship with him. She can also be very patient despite her short temper, remaining patient with Yusuke as he struggles first with his responsibilities as spirit detective and later with his identity as a half demon and waiting for Yusuke to return from his training, showing a strong sense of love and loyalty towards Yusuke.


YuYu Hakusho

She has two blonde ponytails and dusty brown eyes. She dresses in the classic sailor uniform of Japanese schoolgirls.

Keiko's Friend is a loyal friend to Keiko. She is absolutely terrified of Yusuke, and in fact, she and Natsuko scream every time they see him.


YuYu Hakusho

Kenji is a young man with short black hair who wears a sweater with a typical suit jacket over it.

Kenji is a playboy who plays with girl's feelings, forcing Kana to wait hours for him on a dare. He also talks lowly of her to his new girfriend, who quickly finds out about his unfaithfulness due to him naming girls who could be haunting him. He is also scared of ghosts, as shown when Yusuke spooks him.


YuYu Hakusho

He has green hair, black facial hair and a pair of scars that fell past both of his eyes. He wore a standard karate uniform with a black belt and gray undershirt.


YuYu Hakusho

He has brown spiky hair and one eye. He wears white pants and a white long sleeve shirt with a yellow cape like thing over the shirt. He also has a belt with a yellow Y on it.


YuYu Hakusho

Kirin's true face is never shown, as he is always seen wearing a helmet which masks his entire face, except for his eyes.

Not much of Kirin's character is revealed. However, it can be inferred that he was extremely observant, as he was one of the few who realized that Mukuro had lost much of her hatred, effectively limiting her fighting potential. In the manga, he noticed that one day of every year, Mukuro would become easily enraged. Kirin told the other members of his patrol that Mukuro's former right-hand man had been obliterated when he showed the slightest amount of rudeness to her on that day. However, Kirin was unaware that the day every year Mukuro became enraged was, in actuality, her birthday, when she would be haunted by the memories of her life as a slave.

Kirin, Mukuro's right hand.
Kirin, presumably irked at his replacement by Hiei , made public his desire to defeat Mukuro. Whether he truly believed he could accomplish that task is unknown, as he knew how destructive her powers were. Kirin, who was placed in the same patrol group as Hiei, showed no visible animosity toward his replacement.
While performing his uneventful patrol duties in Demon World, Kirin is shown taking his responsibilities seriously, telling the other members of his patrol that since they were the losers of the tournament , they should follow orders without complaining.


YuYu Hakusho

Kirishima has light brown hair and brown eyes, his skin is a tan peach color, and wears the same color school uniform of the other members of his gang. Kirishima is one of the few characters whose appearance changed drastically in the anime. However, in the manga, Kirishima is a bishōnen with somewhat fairer (presumably blond) hair, making him stand out from the other members of Kuwabara's gang, while in the anime he is given a relatively generic appearance with a simpler face and messier hair. He is the tallest of Kuwabara's gang members.

He seems to be the most intelligent member of Kuwabara's gang, though not by much (he received a 50 on his chemistry test while the others received far lower scores, Sawamura at 48, Okubo at 39, Yusuke at 12, and Kuwabara at 7).
In Episode 26 , Kirishima was also able to (somewhat) correctly guess that Kuwabara was depressed due to the fact that he was "dumped" by a girl, since it was in fact Yukina who had gone back to the Ice Maiden village in Demon World .


YuYu Hakusho

Slender and of average height, Seaman possesses a slight build, a fair complexion, and delicate facial features. His sandy brown and wavy hair is normally slicked back, leaving just a few bangs dangling onto his forehead, and his garments include a yellow hooded sweatshirt, tight blue jeans, and a pair of white shoes.
When he was bullied by his fellow students in his junior high school days before he was recruited by Sensui , he wore a light blue uniform almost identical to that of Kuwabara 's. He briefly wore a business suit while attempting to enter in the best high school of his home city.

After being indoctrinated by Sensui, Seaman developed a hatred towards all humans, desiring to relentlessly punish all of humanity for its sins and immoralities. At this point, he changes into somewhat of a hypocrite, becoming the same ruthless killer which he despises the rest of humanity for being; although this is largely due to Sensui's influence. However, after witnessing two acts of kindness by Kuwabara and his friends, as well as noticing their views on life, Seaman's outlook on humanity slowly begins to change. He eventually starts viewing humans as good.
He is a self-described social outcast who claims to have been ostracized by his fellow school mates. After his encounter with the near destruction of all humanity as well as helping Team Urameshi save the world, Mitarai opens up to the world, and gains the confidence to look at the future with an optimistic view on life.


YuYu Hakusho

Koenma normally appears as a toddler with a red obi sash tied at the waist of a pink-trimmed blue robe over brown pants and black shoes. In his first appearance in the manga, Koenma was seen wearing a bib on his robe, though this was never seen again in the later chapters, nor in the anime.

Teen Koenma

However, when venturing into the Human and Demon Worlds , he transforms into a handsome young man with medium length brown hair, parted down the middle (though he occasionally appears in his true toddler form as well). His live-action appearance depicts him with short hair and his fringes are brushed down to his ears. His "Jr" mark is red.
In both forms, though, he retains a similar outfit, as well as the "Jr." mark on his forehead and a blue pacifier kept in his mouth. He appears remarkably young for his age (exactly 670 years old in the manga, 666 in the beginning of the series), being that he has existed for several centuries prior to commissioning Yusuke . In his live-action appearance, his main outfit was capri blue rather than medium blue and has a silver embroidery and his pacifier is shown to be dark cyan.
In the Three Kings Saga , Koenma wears casual clothing as opposed to his primary outfit due to disobeying his father, he wears an outfit similar to Shizuru 's as the orange long sleeve shirt is replaced with a button shirt and the "Jr." mark on his forehead was covered in a purple headband.
Later, he wears a costume similar to Tuxedo Mask 's and his headband is red.

Being a prince, Koenma has many subordinates, especially Jorge Saotome . He is (mostly in his toddler form) normally childish and abusive, with a rather bossy attitude and also a loud prince, commanding those around him to accomplish his tasks, whether they work for him or not. He gets along with Botan , however he has a sort of sibling rivalry with Yusuke.
In the original Japanese version, he addresses himself as " washi ", a term that elderly Japanese men and women use when talking about themselves. This may either refer to his actual age versus his apparent age, or a desire to be taken seriously by talking in such a manner.


YuYu Hakusho

Like many Upper S Class and mazoku-type demons in Yu Yu Hakusho , Kokou has a full human form. She appears as a busty woman in her late twenties to early thirties with yellow eyes and lime green hair pulled back into a long ponytail. Her attire consists of blue skintight pants under a deep purple leotard, with a long orange sash around her waist. Additionally, she wears matching arm warmers that extend past her elbows. According to Yusuke, she smells like alcohol due to her drinking it constantly.

Kokou is peevish and violent, seemingly always in a foul mood. She is overbearing and even once bites her husband Enki's hands when he tells her to behave herself (while badly drunk) and even called Raizen's lover a whore out of spite and jealousy. Like all of Raizen's old friends , she seems to have a very competitive fighting spirit, being overjoyed when she started fighting again. Beneath her rough exterior, Kokou's emotions came out all at once as she sat at Raizen's grave, crying loudly that he had abandoned her, claiming he was the only man she ever loved. It is explained that Kokou was in fact in love with Raizen before marrying Enki, but was unsuccessful in winning his heart, especially when he encountered his human lover , something Kokou didn't handle very well. She took up drinking after Raizen stopped fighting and cut ties with him (but still cared about him greatly) which indicates she may have been severely depressed.


YuYu Hakusho

She wears rather simple clothes, with brown hair and blue eyes. In the manga, her clothes are more "demon-like". Like most female demons in the series, she is portrayed as beautiful. Judging by her ears and tail, she seems to be a monkey demon.

Kotei is very sure of herself. She immediately makes friends with Rinku , who immediately falls for her. She enjoys teasing him and running around, flattered by his attention. However, going by the manga and episode 107, where she's running away from Rinku and is annoyed, she doesn't make good friends with him until her loss in the tournament, as shown by her and Rinku watching Chu and Natsume .


YuYu Hakusho

Koto is a young woman of average height, with a slim build and rounded facial features. She has a peach skin complexion, light emerald green eyes and cinnamon brown hair that is kept short, covering her cheeks and forehead. Her demon features consist of: a pair of triangular ears (akin to those of a fox in the anime and a cat in the manga), a bushy, light brown fur tail (which is thin and long in the manga instead) and two pairs of three whiskers, one for each cheek. Her clothes consist of a cream shirt with a golden collar and a short blue tie, a pair of waist-high pink shorts, red coat tails with teal lining, black tights, red cloth bracelets, a pair of short-heeled red boots, and a small red bow-tie choker.

In the original Japanese, Koto is a bright and cheerful young lady who is admirably professional and devoted to her job, impartially cheering on and encouraging fighters of both sides during her commentaries and is basically a hard-working good person who just happens to earn her paycheck from bad people. In the English dub, she is portrayed as being significantly more bloodthirsty, often giving her own sadistic commentary on how much she enjoys the pain and death she sees. In both versions, she has some standards as she disapproves of Bakken 's attempts to keep Kurama 's unconscious body in the ring.  She also saved her friend Juri from the black dragon and comforted Chu when he became sick after drinking his ogre-killer booze.
In the English version, Koto often seems overtly amused by the suffering of the fighters at the Dark Tournament, but only when both contestants can have a fair fight fight.  In both the Japanese and English versions though, she becomes easily frightened whenever there is a formidable attack such as the Dragon of the Darkness Flame, though not as much as Juri. In fact, she is also something of a masochist as well as a sadist (she seems genuinely confused when the heavily injured Kuwabara doesn't enjoy his pain as he stumbles into the ring to fight Risho and her complaints about Bakken's treatment of Kurama were that he "wasn't even conscious to enjoy" the beating). Her love of destruction is so much that she will stay in her seat even when the stadium is under attack from the competitors' powers (such as when Shishiwakamaru revealed his Banshee's Shriek sword or when Sakyo activated his detonator).  In the Demon World Tournament of the English dub, her sadism is toned down a bit, while her Japanese version remains as sweet and positive as ever.
She also has the entire tournament rule book memorized, and points that out to Botan , during Jin's fight with Yusuke, Botan complained that Jin's fighting was an unintentional ring-out.  She is very reluctant to let Team Masho win by cheating, showing that she values an honest fight and really is as neutral as she claims to be. Unlike most demons in the Tournament or in the stands, Koto doesn't seem to have any problem with Team Urameshi , praising their successes alongside their enemies.
Koto is briefly the object of affection for Chu, whom she doesn't share feelings for. Ironically, in the Demon World Tournament, she seems upset over the fact that Chu fell for Natsume . She sometimes puts on a cute act but is very shrewd and manages to get in jabs at Juri for being a former cocktail waitress.  Despite this, she views her replacement announcer as a close friend, expressing concern for her and even rescuing her during Hiei ’s fight with Bui .  As the stadium comes crumbling down around them, Juri’s fear of dying a virgin spurns Koto to abandon her obsessive commitment to the tournament and flee with her friend (also noting that she will help “find Juri a man”).
In the anime, she seems to have a broad and varied taste in men. She called Yoko her "dream hunk" (and was very disappointed when he turned back into a "tailless Kurama"), she was vocally annoyed about Kuro Momotaro 's beast armors of the Ape and the Phoenix (she made no comments about his Wolf form), preferring his human-looking form and complaining about  the loss of his "waxed, washboard abs [she] loved so much" (she made no comments about the Armor of the Wolf). Similarly, she found Bui's "deep, timbering voice" attractive. However, by the end of the series, she has developed a crush on the very human-looking. slim, and mild-voiced Touya .


YuYu Hakusho

Kujou has a lean and muscular build. He has yellow eyes and his navy blue hair tends to stand on end. In the Demon World Tournament, Kujou wore a dark sleeveless shirt along with matching pants. He also wore bandages wrapped around his wrists down to his forearm. In the manga, his spikes are much shorter, and he has a much less distinctive face, giving him a rather generic appearance.

At first, Kujou seemed to be somewhat cocky as seen in his battle with Touya , telling the ice master he knows humans with more power than him. However, Kujou later displayed that he is a sportsmanlike fighter, saving Touya before he fell into the lake and allowing himself to be weakened by Touya's ice so he could fight with him on an even level. He was shown shaking hands with the ice master later. In the manga he shows a much more mocking, belittling personality, especially towards Chu .


YuYu Hakusho

In the anime, his human form has bright green eyes and long vibrant deep red hair, with two long forelocks on either shoulder and the rest on his back. In the manga, he has pink eyes and black hair. In the Two Shots chapter, he used to wear shorter hair (above his shoulders). As Shuichi, he is occasionally mistaken for a female because of his long hair and delicate features, which he detests. While he often wears his pink school uniform matching pink slacks and a jacket with gold trim. His live-action appearance depicts him with long shaggy red hair with a full-trimmed bangs in a hime-cut. His pink jacket with a gold trim and pink slacks from his school uniform has an intricate silver rose design.
When he visits his sick mother at the hospital, he was seen wearing a dark red corporate suit and his long shaggy red hair was styled in a low ponytail.
Towards the end of Season One , he is seen wearing a white martial arts outfit similar to his school uniform with gold trim and a pink sash tied around the left side of his waist and the folded sleeves on both of his sleeves and pants and the high-neck on his uniform are dark blue. He stopped wearing it midway through the 2nd season (presumably because it was ruined in his fights against the first two members of Team Mashoutsukai ). After recovering from his injuries and assisting Yusuke Urameshi at the end of the Demon World Tournament , he was seen wearing a white long sleeve Chinese button with purple outlines, black pants and his martial arts shoes.
For the remainder of the series, he often wears a light-colored Chinese-style battle outfit with yellow plane and blue trim. He is also seen in a flashback in the Three Kings Saga , a flashback of him meeting Hiei , where he has short hair. In Chapter Black Saga , he wears his battle outfit during the Dark Tournament Saga but minor changes as the yellow plane and blue trim changed from green plane and pink trim.
While in his demon-fox form, he has slender golden eyes, prominent silver fox ears, tail, and long flowing hair. He wears a white sleeveless yukata with split sides, along with matching martial arts pants and shoes. His live-action appearance is identical to his anime counterpart with very long white shaggy hair in a full fringe, his prominent fox ears are also white and resemble dog ears. His yukata, martial arts pants, and shoes are pearly white.
In Poltergeist Report Movie, when Kurama was seen shirtless, he had a lean build with a well sculpted chest, biceps, and shoulders, but the bandages cover most of his torso. In later parts of the movie he was seen wearing the same battle outfit in the Dark Tournament as his Chinese inspired battle outfit is a red plane and yellow trim.
In the All or Nothing chapter (2018 OVA), Kurama wears the same casual look in the Chapter Black Saga , but without the leather jacket. He wears a long sleeved pink sweater shirt, blue gray jeans and black leather shoes.

Kurama is the most calculating, cunning and analytical member of the main characters and perhaps in the whole series. He is able to carefully look past his feelings and see the real situation at hand, which has been demonstrated on more than one occasion. He is extremely perceptive, able to quickly recognize the patterns and mistakes that his opponents make, which gives him an edge. In battle, while his preference is to concoct strategies based on deduction of his opponents' fighting abilities and style, his natural battle instincts are also highly tuned. He is capable of slashing another person's head off in just an instant, relying only on impulse. However, his care for his friends and family are the backbone of his fighting drive, as he would sacrifice just about anything to protect them and thus making him a reliable teammate despite his cunning front. Kurama has a kind heart, and several villains in the series will use this ploy against him in order to beat him.
In the face of adversity, Kurama has the uncommon ability to shun all emotions and shine a blank slate, thinking three to four steps ahead to clutch the pinch and seize control of the situation. Coupled with his vast intelligence, his detached emotional state is perhaps his greatest asset.
Despite his physical appearance, Kurama has very high durability, shown in almost all of his matches. Because of his analyzation lenience, he is always the most injured in his fights, but manages to pull a trick out of his hat to decide the match. This is well defined in his match with Karasu .
As Yoko Kurama, he is much more cruel, vindictive, and merciless, retaining all of his intellectual capabilities. He enjoys toying with his enemies in a sadistic manner, as shown in the semi-final rounds of the Dark Tournament Competition and against Karasu . The transformation into Yoko was attained inadvertently earlier in the tournament with the age regression technique of Ura Urashima (through Suzuki ). (Meaning that his empathy is only existent when he's in human form; without his literal humanity, Kurama is indeed even more cutthroat than Hiei) Later on in the series after Yusuke 's defeat at the hands of Sensui , Kurama seems to take on his demon form, though he states it is just a change in physical appearance due to his exposure to substantial amounts of demon energy (a product of the tunnel's completion). However, he retains his human personality without becoming cruel and merciless.

Kurama transforming to Yoko

In the anime, it is portrayed that he and his demon form have different personalities. This is due to the fact that while a demon, his ruthless demeanor along with the change in his voice, make Kurama seem like an entirely different person. However, this misconception is cleared when Kurama states that his demonic spirit, merged with the human body of Minamino Shuichi over time, and that his transformation is only between his human and demon body. So rather than being a demon inhabiting a human body, he "is both the demon Kurama as well as the human Minamino Shuichi."
Kurama is on good terms with Yusuke , Kuwabara , and Hiei . His friendship with Yusuke is because the Spirit Detective spared his life and willingly offered his own life to the Forlorn Hope (one of the Artifacts of Darkness) to save Kurama and Shiori , Kurama's human mother. While his friendship with Hiei is due to his collaboration to vanquish the demon Eight Hands. He also has a tendency to plan for all possible futures, one that may or may not be, because he believes that nothing is ever certain and that you must be prepared.


YuYu Hakusho

According to the Japanese fairy tale about Momotaro, the eponymous main character was a young boy, around the age of ten, with long black hair, a white peasant shirt and carrying an axe or a short sword with him. As such, Yu Yu Hakusho's rendition of Kuro Momotaro's appearance stands in stark contrast to that of the fairy tale character.
Tall and broad-shouldered, Kuro Momotaro possesses a well-defined muscular physique. His thick, crew-cut blond hair is kept up by a large white headband that encircles his forehead. He has thick blond eyebrows, but they change color depending on the steaming sphere he uses. On his upper body, Kuro wears a sleeveless white jacket, although it's too small to cover his entire torso. His baggy bottoms are a burnt sienna color, engulfed at the bottom by his long black boots and held up at the top by a white belt. His belt is comprised of his signature "steaming spheres," which, along with his jacket and headband, possess the emblem of an upside-down black peach. He doesn't carry any melee weapons, but rather fights hand to hand with his opponent, although, he once used Hiei's sword to cut himself before their fight started. Throughout the tournament, Kuro is either frowning contemptuously or smiling smugly. Either way, he can almost always be found chewing a large piece of pink bubblegum. He looks as if he is around twenty years of age, but the exact age is not revealed.

The Momotaro of the classical fairy tale was described as being kindhearted, altruistic and very friendly; and thusly, Kuro is his exact opposite.
Cockiness, egotism and intimidation comprise the primary components of Kuro's personality. Like all members of Team Uraotogi, Kuro Momotaro holds no loyalties to his comrades, referring to his dead teammate Makintaro as weak while heedlessly kicking him out of the ring. Possessing a sort of charismatic ambiance, Kuro stands prior to a match with his arms folded and gum in his mouth, staring down his opponents to make them cringe. During a match, Kuro tends to appear overconfident, underestimating his opponents' abilities while overestimating his own. During his match against Hiei , Kuro delays going for victory, choosing to use three of his steaming spheres when his teammates believe that just one is enough to win the fight (though, as it turns out, three would not be enough, either).


YuYu Hakusho

Kuroda was tall, with gray hair and gray clothes and a pair of glasses on his face. He takes off his glasses right before he fights in the manga, but keeps them on in the anime.

Kuroda was a professional contract killer and self proclaimed assassin in the manga; he had no qualms about taking another human's life and was comfortable risking his own. He takes his job as an assassin very seriously and considers his life to be his work, and thus always fights to the death.  In particular, he felt it was "professional" to go all out against a trained bodyguard.


YuYu Hakusho

Kuroko is a slender and very tall woman. She has jet-black hair with a dark cyan shine, all tied in a ponytail. She has a peach skin complexion. In a flashback, when she was a Spirit Detective she is shown to have had short hair.

Kuroko is kind and is shown to be a fun-loving person. She likes being with her family, but is also shown to drink alcohol in their presence. Kuroko met master Genkai at one point and came to trust the old woman's judgement over Spirit World 's.
Likely due to never being desensitized to the concept of how demons need to eat humans to live (though Hokushin noted there were other ways), Kuroko values human life regardless of morality; it shocked her that Yusuke (who was morally grey) could be matter-of-fact with a demon about his diet. Kuroko couldn't accept the idea that a human could have such a view and blamed it on the awakening of his demonic heritage, even though demons are more likely to eat flesh than souls.


YuYu Hakusho

He resembles a much older version of Kuwabara with sunglasses, a ponytail, and a cigarette. He seems much more cheerful, reserved, and laid-back compared to his son.


YuYu Hakusho

He appeared to be an older demon, with gray hair and a mustache. He had leopard/python like spots all over his face, as well as a long tail and sharp claws. He also had a long serpentine tongue that hung out whenever rushing into a battle.

From what little was seen of him, M4 appeared to be fairly arrogant and reckless to the point that he aggressively charged his enemies without thinking things over. This quickly lead to his demise at Hiei and Kurama's hands.


YuYu Hakusho

He appeared to be a younger demon, with blond hair, tanned skin and a muscular body. He had leopard like spots all over his long tail and sharp claws.

M5 appeared to be the more sensible and intelligent of the duo as demonstrated when he unleashed Gatasubal on Hiei and Kurama instead of fighting them directly upon M4 being killed. He did appear to have some confidence in M4's strength, as shown from his surprise that the latter was felled so quickly, but didn't show much concern beyond that. He is very loyal to Dr. Ichigaki seemingly by choice and takes time to brag about his master's ingenuity and Gatasubal's capabilities and was shocked upon Kurama discovering the machine's weakness.


YuYu Hakusho

Elegant and wearing empirical garb, Majari is unique compared to most male and female characters. Majari wore purple lipstick and a dress like bottom attached to his skin-tight green suit, brandished with bone-like protrusions for the shoulders, boots and chest area. He also wore a helmet made of similar material, with sharp "antennae" on each side.
His long light blue hair and even lighter blue skin showed a sense of beauty and care for his appearance. The blue-green coloration complements his affinity with water and reflection, his main ability being to mirror opponents.

Majari looked down upon humans, seeing Kuwabara as both a "fool" and a "pathetic creature". Shown to be overconfident before and during battle, his arrogance led to his downfall. Though his abilities were similar to Rando's , he didn't toy with his prey nearly as much, and his only apparent motivation was to restore the Netherworld, as opposed to gaining power. He did have some lust for battle, as he was seen licking his lips and smiling before disarming Kuwabara's sword.
He was momentarily distracted during battle by Kurama 's sudden appearance, giving a long glance and a smile towards him, before Kuwabara regained his attention. Whether he saw Kurama as an attractive male or saw him as another human to be killed is unknown, since words were not exchanged.


YuYu Hakusho

According to Heian period folklore, the original Kintaro is the Japanese equivalent to Hercules . Since birth, he possessed superhuman strength, and during his childhood Kintaro had killed large, imposing beasts by using only his bare hands. He had golden colored skin, long black hair, and was affiliated with royalty. Some legends even mention that he was the son of a princess of the medieval region of Sakata, near Mt. Kintoki, hence the character's name of Sakata no Kintoki . Kintaro's weapon of choice was a traditional Japanese battle axe, called a masakari. As such, Makintaro is a direct parody of Kintaro in nearly every aspect.
Makintaro is the tallest, largest and physically strongest member of Team Uraotogi. He has dark skin, pink lips and short, wavy, jet-black hair (dark blue in the anime ), which is held up by a thin, red colored headband, which makes him resemble the stereotypical portrayal of a huge and muscular 1930s African-American man. His large eye pupils are minuscule in size, with no irises around them, or even eyebrows to speak of, and his teeth are like that of a lizard's ( manga only). The only articles of clothing he is ever shown wearing consist of a black mawashi around his waist, similar to a sumo wrestler, and a red bib with some kanji writing on it. His right arm (left arm in the anime ), which can be morphed into an axe, serves as his primary weapon in combat.

Overconfident, short-tempered, and aggressiveness are Makintaro's basic traits. He possesses little strategy in his fighting style, a characteristic shared by Kuwabara . At the beginning of a battle, Makintaro enjoys immediately charging his opponents with speed and aggression; though successful in his third round match, this decision yields him a fatal loss in the semifinals. He is usually seen with a naive smirk on his face, often underestimating his opponents by their appearance. However, when he gets into the ring, he puts on an angry yet completely unintimidating expression towards his adversaries. Despite all his "muscle bravado", Makintaro apparently had a very weak nervous system, as he started screaming frantically in horror as he saw his own left arm swiftly amputated by Hiei .


YuYu Hakusho

Masaru is an average boy with brown hair and hazel brown eyes. He wore overalls when he was saved by Yusuke, and a tieless suit at Yusuke's wake.

He is a very innocent child who does not understand the concept of death, as shown when he asked his mother when Yusuke was going to wake up. He also does not seem to listen to his seniors, as shown when Yusuke told him not to play in the street, but he did so anyway.


YuYu Hakusho

Midorenjya has green skin and he appears to be a goblin-like creature. He has a green outfit and a belt with a green G on it.

He is a demon who is confident in his ability and doesn't like it when people underestimate him. However, when faced with the prospect of death, Midorenjya would run from battle to save his own skin, a trait Karasu disliked and had him killed for.


YuYu Hakusho

Miyuki is a pale-skinned ogre with waist-length blue hair, dark-brown eyes and a straight pointed horn in the middle of her forehead.
In the anime she wears a red qipao with gold trim with an opening on her left side, showing off her left leg. Additionally, she wears a long-sleeved white undershirt, blue sandals on her feet, and a blue sash around her waist.
In the manga she retains the undershirt and the sash. However, unlike the anime, she wears a martial arts dress and pants (not dissimilar to Genkai ). In the manga, she does not show off her left leg.

Miyuki is the spokeswoman of the Triad as seen during her interactions with the Black Black Club and Genkai. During both appearances, she speaks on behalf of her team whereas Inmaki and Gokumonki are silent after introducing themselves.
Miyuki greatly dislikes sexist behavior and her gender is a sensitive topic for her. Should anyone comment on it in an unsavory manner, she will become upset and possibly lash out. This is shown when she reacts negatively to Kuwabara 's comment that he can not fight a girl and she comes to the conclusion that Yusuke was fighting her aggressively due to her situation.
On the other hand, Miyuki has shown to react positively when someone either expresses gender equality or is shown to be supportive of her goals in relation to her gender. This was shown at the beginning of their fight, when Yusuke expressed that he was willing to fight anyone regardless of gender, and at the end of their fight when (in the Japanese version) she admitted defeat after Yusuke encouraged Miyuki to completely finish her transition.
Miyuki outwardly claims (in the Japanese version) that she has the heart of a woman but the body of a man. Yusuke, however, believes that Miyuki is lying to herself. Miyuki's decision to forgo surgically removing her male genitalia, despite transitioning the rest of her body (including surgically adding breast implants) proved that her male genitalia still held some meaning for Miyuki. As such, Yusuke believes that deep down Miyuki did not truly make up her mind on whether she wanted to be a boy or a girl.
When fighting, Miyuki has shown to have a sadistic side. her preferred method of torturing Yusuke (which was the only time she managed to injure him) was to bind his neck with her whip and slowly pull him up to the ceiling. Additionally, she commented that she was going to enjoy torturing Yusuke while revealing the pointed handle of the whip. When she was not in a position to choke her opponent, she has shown to be constantly on the offense, only retreating once while on the ceiling. Despite her preference for close-quarters hand to hand combat, her skills were shown to be inferior to Yusuke's as she did not manage to land a single punch or karate chop on him.
Defensively, Miyuki has been shown to possess the most endurance of the Triad. Miyuki was able to withstand two punches to the chest, a stomp to her stomach, falling from the ceiling, being kicked through a wall, and finally getting thrown into another wall. Additionally, Yusuke had to employ psychological tactics to injure her emotionally. In comparison, both of her teammates were knocked out after one attack.


YuYu Hakusho

Momorenjya has pink hair that is tied in a high curly ponytail, yellow eyes that has silt pupils and pointy ears.
She wears white pants and a white sleeveless shirt with a pink vest over her shirt. She also has a belt with a pink P on it.

Momorenjya is the sole female in her team and also the most level-headed, as she was the only one unaffected by the Elder Toguro's taunts of being able to take all of Team Gorenja at once. Instead, she perceives it as an advantage. She also demonstrates compassion for her teammates to an extent, as she calmly told teammate Akarenjya to not let the Elder Toguro's taunts get to him.


YuYu Hakusho

Mukuro normally conceals her face behind bandages that are studded with paper tag wards (御札 [おふだ], ofuda , translated as Honorable Holy Writing ) and around her whole head. Only her damaged right eye is visible through an opening in the bandages and her voice is electronically distorted (and lowered) so as make her sound more like a man to those around her; a charade further reinforced by the fact she uses the supreme-masculine pronoun of " ore" rather than the gender-neutral/feminine pronoun of "watashi" when referring to herself in the Japanese language version.
Mukuro's appearance in the manga.
She also keeps her hands bound and shackled in chains, although it appears the chains have been broken by the time she appears in the series (though not the shackles themselves). She wears loose pale-blue/white pants and black martial arts slippers, a white long-sleeved shirt with a purple vest with gold trim over it, and a long red sash tied around her waist.
However, when she removes the bandages from her face, she has messy orange hair parted to the left with a bandage wrapped around her head (like a headband) and cloth hanging down over much of the right side of her face. Her eye color is blue. Her right eye is in fact covered by a cybernetic lens, although she can see with it perfectly fine without the lens. Furthermore, the entire right side of her body is covered in scar tissue and burn marks: a result of the damage done to her when acid was poured on her. The damage was so extensive that most of her right arm and her right leg have been replaced with mechanical limbs, although the hand (from above the wrist) and foot (from above her ankle) still look natural. In the manga, she does not have the cloth or lens and her fully exposed eye and damaged skin around it is visible. Also only in the manga, she wears a short sleeved shirt after the tournament with many sashes tied around her waist. Her hair is also differently styled in the manga.

When Mukuro first appeared, she came off as having a very mysterious personality. During her years as a warrior, few knew that Mukuro was female. It is however, interesting to note that the specific reasoning why she decided to pass herself off as the opposite gender is subject to speculation. In a shocking turnaround, she made a point of removing her bandages at the start of the Demon World Tournament .
Raizen describes Mukuro as a traditionalist and an isolationist and notes that she likes Makai just the way it is and believes it should remain in its pristine, untouched and chaos-ridden state. This said, provided that everyone minds their own business and affairs in their own respective worlds, she will leave both Human and Spirit Worlds as they are as Mukuro focuses her attention solely on Demon World, making Mukuro the lesser of two evils between herself and Yomi , such that should there come a time when Yusuke must extend an alliance to either, Raizen in his final moments advised him to choose the former. While Raizen was slowly starving to death, even stubbornly setting himself as a staunch and primary example for abstaining from human consumption, and Yomi insisting that there is no reason for demons not to hedonistically eat as many humans as they see fit, Mukuro maintained a pragmatic outlook, remarking that the consumption of humans should be limited but not forbidden.
She has been seen engaging in casual conversation with Hiei , and tosses occasional sardonic quips toward him, suggesting she has some sense of humor. In a telling moment, she fully exposed her damaged body to a semi-conscious Hiei and revealed to him her painful past. It is likely that Mukuro gravitated towards Hiei because she saw similarities between herself and him.
In combat, however, Mukuro is completely ruthless. She describes herself as one of the most ruthless, well-known killers that Makai has ever seen. At the same time, Mukuro seems to hate herself as well, punishing herself by wearing chains - largely to represent the emotional damage that holds her in bondage, imprisoned by her own dark past.

He appears to be in his late twenties or early thirties and wears a white uwagi (うわぎ, Japanese coat) over a dark-gray hakama (袴, Japanese pants), as well as a pair of white tabi (足袋, lit. " foot pouch "; traditional Japanese socks) beneath a pair of waraji (草鞋 [わらじ], traditional Japanese straw sandals). His most noticeable feature is the patch over his left eye.


YuYu Hakusho

Natsuko has short brown hair and brown eyes. She also wears dark glasses with square frames and wears a school uniform. Also, she appears to be somewhat short for her age.

Natsuko is loyal to Keiko Yukimura, but she is extremely scared of delinquents, especially Yusuke Urameshi . She actually believes the fake rumors about how Yusuke has several gangs under his control. Along with Keiko's other friend , she flees at the sight of Kuwabara .


YuYu Hakusho

In the Demon World Tournament, Natsume wore a sleeveless top with red around her waist, trimmed with yellow, as well as form fitting white pants. She wears her brown hair tied back with a magenta bow.

In contrast to her more active twin brother Kujou (anime only), Natsume seems to be the more reserved of the two. Despite seeming relatively taciturn, she grieved at Raizen's grave, along with his other comrades, even seen comforting Kokou as she cried. She seems quite neutral to Chu during their fight, however, he seems to grow fond of her as he follows her around. She claims she doesn't usually date men who are weaker than she is. She tends to look down on those weaker than her, but she does begin to respect and admire Chu's perseverance eventually (despite reminding him she still wouldn't date him).


YuYu Hakusho

Nekotama has the appearance of a typical cat, except he is able to walk upright and has stripes somewhat reminiscent of those on Byakko , the tiger. His fur is light purple with darker shades of purple comprising the stripes. He wears dark green pants and a red belt. His facial features include piercing yellow eyes, and distinguished ears.


YuYu Hakusho

Okubo is a tough street kid with black hair and his hair styled in the 50s greaser style of Kuwabara's. He was rather heavyset.

Okubo is the most sympathetic of the group, as despite being a delinquent, he works hard for the sake of his family. He seems to be the weakest of the group, as Kuwabara describes him as rarely hitting and usually getting beat up (though he may have been lying for Okubo's sake), but he is shown successfully putting an opponent in a headlock after Eikichi was saved in the manga.


YuYu Hakusho

Ootake is a tall middle-aged brown-haired man, with a bang hanging down across the left side of his forehead, just above his left eye.

He is the former captain of the SDF, possessing a commanding presence, as seen when he stops the other members from panicking after Yusuke 's revival, as well as a stern sense of loyalty. Although he respects Koenma , even in times when his authority overrides the prince's, he is nonetheless a man focused on getting the job done as quickly and efficiently as possible. He is later removed from his position as captain by Great King Enma and is replaced by his subordinate, Shunjun .


YuYu Hakusho

Pu is a small, beady-eyed, bird-like creature with an all blue body, whitish-blue belly, a yellow beak and feet, tiny "arms" and a small patch of black hair on his head which mimics Yusuke's hairstyle. His ears are big and floppy, but long enough to be used to fly. After Yusuke's revival, Pu evolves into his "adult" appearance, transforming into a gigantic swan/phoenix-like bird with a long neck, large wingspan, elongated ears, a long horse-like black mane and large tail-feathers. In this form, Pu becomes large enough to be ridden by at least four people.

Pu, being a spirit beast, mimics the personality of its master. However, in contrast to Yusuke's slacker badboy attitude, Pu is actually very sweet. This is due to the fact that he's a reflection of Yusuke's true self deep at heart. He helps Yusuke get through his spirit orb training, as well as leading Keiko to find Yusuke should he ever be in trouble. Pu also represents Yusuke's inner purity and innocence.


YuYu Hakusho

Raigo is a tall individual who is usually seen grinning during his debut. Clean shaven and bald, Raigo wears a large black cloak that is fastened by a single yellow button. Underneath however, Raigo wears white pieces of armor though some parts of his body is exposed. Strangely, Raigo wears a white bone-like visor that covers his left eye, which is hidden behind a red lens.
Being a Jaganshi, Raigo possesses a green Jagan eye that glows orange when in use. It is located right on his forehead.

Raigo is very devoted to Yakumo, doing anything he says with no questions asked.
Like most demons, Raigo enjoys seeing the evil in mankind and exploits it to the fullest of his ability. But when he got overpowered by Hiei , Raigo was consumed with fear and cried out in agony while being disintegrated.


YuYu Hakusho

Despite being thousands of years old, Raizen's body remains young and strong, consisting of a lean yet muscular appearance. As the centuries progressed, however, Raizen became more and more emaciated as he starved himself because of his experience in the Human World . His clothes include a lime headband, a lime obi sash, and white smoke pants. Accompanied by long, white hair, his facial features consist of a long, thin nose, canine teeth, a tattoo below his left eye, and a pained, craving smile. During the flashbacks, he was wearing a blue sleeveless loose yukata.

Though he once fed on humans for sustenance, Raizen, after falling in love with a human woman in a feudal time, vows never to eat humans again. True to his promise, Raizen's body begins to slowly eat itself to death, eventually causing the growl of his stomach to be heard throughout Demon World, according to Hokushin.
Despite his brutal reputation as a warrior and a savage beast who feeds on humans, Raizen is perceptive enough to know and acknowledge the depth of capabilities and true motives harbored by the other two kings and has a very loving and caring side to his personality, as seen when he implored Yusuke to lead Hokushin and the rest of his subordinates well in Raizen's place, and though he may not seem like it, he is a man of his word and honor, keeping his promises even when someone he has made a promise to is no longer there to hold him to it. He has chosen to keep his promise of never again eating a human to the only woman he has ever loved over eating, staying strong, and thereby remaining in greater power and control of the Demon World forever. Yusuke did not realize how proud he was of his forefather until he heard the words of Raizen's comrades saying how honorable he was. Even in death, Raizen is always there to give the best advice that he can give Yusuke and guide his descendant to the right direction. It is hinted that Yusuke sees Raizen as the closest father-figure he never had, considering the fact his biological father was never there for him for most of his childhood. Yusuke even called him "dad".


YuYu Hakusho

Raizen's lover had long dark hair, reddish purple eyes and pale skin. She wore a dark-blue kimono with an obi sash. Raizen describes her as "the most beautiful creature he had ever seen". She had rather large breasts, and possessed a very curvy, feminine figure.
While only her insides and blood are corrupted in the anime, in the manga Raizen sees that the rotting flesh she ate has taken its toll on her body, as her flesh seems to be rotting and corrupt as well, making it much more threatening in the manga.

She had a temper, but was also apparently very intelligent. Raizen says that Yusuke has inherited her fiery temper.


YuYu Hakusho

When disguised as Shorin, his appearance is akin to that of a small child with a shaved head, who wears a black cap, blue Buddhist monk attire, and a simple necklace. Shorin has dark eyes and eyebrows coupled with an innocent, almost doll-like appearance. Apparently, the concept art for this form was a reference to the Shaolin monks, famous for indoctrinating disciples at very young ages. It is assumed that Rando took the form of Shorin in order to remain inconspicuous when he wasn't hunting his human prey. This likely contributed to Shorin's relatively plain looks, and unassuming attire.
However, in his true form, Rando is very tall and his hair is a long, bright cherry red color, similar to Kurama 's in his human form. He has orange eyes. His skin is chalk-white and he has an odd-looking scar on his chest that appears to spread across his torso. He also bears blue tribal markings on his face that resemble a spider.

Rando is a sadistic mad man, mainly concerned with creating as much physical pain and suffering to his victims as possible. When in combat Rando likes to extend the duration of the fight in order to further torture his victims, taking pride in his stolen techniques as he experiments with them mid-combat. However, Rando seems to have a small level of respect for strong opponents, unintentionally giving praise to Genkai and Yusuke when the latter forced him to transform for the first time in decades.
Despite his sadistic nature, he is incredibly intelligent and rarely goes in guns blazing. For example, instead of quickly attacking and copying Genkai's Spirit Wave Technique, he instead decided to join the tournament as a legitimate contender so as to not simply be killed by her. Along with his intelligence he does have a great understanding and desire for spirit power. Actively hunting down specific abilities that he deemed useful enough to warrant obtaining and only went after Genkai when the opportunity arose.
He does not care about trivial things such as looks and takes his goals very seriously. Even going out of his way to severely limit his own energy and take on the form of an unimpressive monk solely to not be caught. When his disguise was found out he almost immediately became annoyed and determined he had to kill everyone who had seen his true form as to not allow other spirit detectives to come after him later on.


YuYu Hakusho

Rinku has brown hair, parted down the middle, with each section spiked at an angle. He has three pink stars tattooed just below his left eye. He wears a long-sleeve yellow shirt, with a red sleeveless one over it. He also wears jeans, sneakers and occasionally a large, red and yellow striped cap on his head, with a blue puff ball on the top. He wears the hat to the side and also carries a pouch containing his unique weapons. Rinku is one of the most human-looking demons in the entire series, with no physical demonic traits whatsoever.

Rinku has a rather childlike personality and appearance. He called fist fighting "playing" and only uses his yo-yos when he is fighting seriously. He greatly underestimated Kuwabara and called Yusuke an idiot, making him sound like a bratty kid. In the fight between Yusuke and Chu , he is seen on the sidelines throwing annoying and smart mouth remarks, playfully stating that Yusuke didn't stand a chance against Chu. At the end of the fight, Yusuke manages to gain Chu's and Rinku's respect. In a later episode, he is seen with Chu, Touya and Jin saving Keiko and an unconscious Yusuke from a horde of glory-hungry demons. Although he isn't quite the bratty little kid he used to be, his boyish attitude has not left. Despite this, he seems kind. He can be quite critical of others, especially Chu which often results in him getting smacked by the much taller demon. In the Three Kings Saga , even though he was ashamed at Chu for falling in love with his opponent and losing, the exact same thing ironically happens to him.


YuYu Hakusho

In his Shinobi uniform, he wears a black cloak with a pointed hood, decorated with a red diamond. When he takes it off, he reveals his shiny, neck-length black hair, which is parted down the middle. He is a rather thin and tall young man, with a well built posture. Risho is pale and has narrow, brown eyes. He also has pronounced eye bags. Although his nose is relatively small, it is slightly pointy in the middle; in the manga his nose is longer, making him resemble a puppet. As for his clothing, Risho wears black pants and shirt, with an orange sash across his shoulders, and a brown obi-sash around his waist. The orange sash bears two red gemstones which are placed on his shoulders.

Risho's personality and philosophy differs greatly from the other members of his group. He is ruthless and places no value in honor, preferring to win by any means necessary. He places little value on the lives of others, even those of his own sect, viewing them as little more than pawns. When Touya pleads with him to act honorably, he strikes him down.
He is manipulative and uses his own teammates, showing no concern when they are hurt or even killed. Despite this, he is calm and intelligent enough to avoid unnecessary risks, such as when he orders Bakken to end his fight with Kurama in order to prevent Yusuke from effectively starting a riot. He is clearly aware that Butajiri had been manipulating the whole round and even prompts him to continue in order to ensure victory.
Risho is also somewhat of a bully, as shown when he threatened Koto , struck Touya, and mocked Kuwabara . In the end, his overconfidence ultimately proves to be his downfall. He is defeated by Kuwabara, whom Risho takes lightly because of his seemingly weak physical state, and became irritated when his opponent kept coming back up.


YuYu Hakusho

Unlike the other members of Team Rokuyukai who either exhibited physical prowess or looked good-natured, every physical aspect of Roto seems to attribute to his rather sinful ambiance: a slim and grim looking young demon with a dark green trench coat and black pants and boots that fit loosely on him, bluish skin, long claw-like fingernails, and a wickedly sinful smile. Atop his broad forehead lies an unkempt mass of short, denim strands of hair with a widow's peak, which, along with his fang-like teeth and thin yellow eyeballs with purple pupils, provides additional sullenness to his already-bleak facial countenance; which makes him look like a rotten, low-class thug fitting with his personality.

Even for a demon, Roto is pretty despicable, as he uses underhanded methods such as forcing Kurama to not fight back by using his human mother as a hostage against him. He also thinks highly of himself, as he tells Kurama to lick his boot to prove his superiority. According to Rinku and Zeru , he always uses this tactic and wins every time, which fatally backfires on him, causing him to beg for his life upon realizing the true threat Kurama is as an adversary.
In addition to his devious nature, Roto dislikes being looked down on as shown when he is angered by Kurama remaining stoic after attacking him, hating the superior look on his face. Additionally, he seeks to bring those whom he believes present themselves in a high class manner down to his level. When Kurama feigns apathy for his mother’s life, Roto drops his guard, laughing and telling Kurama that he is as selfish as any other demon. However, whenever the tables are turned on him, Roto is shown to be a coward who begs his opponents for mercy whenever his plans fail and he has no other way out of it.


YuYu Hakusho

Rugby is a skeletal faced demon with a pale-white skinned, yet brutish body, dark magenta hair, gray shoulder pads, elbow pads, gloves, military green pants with dark blue boots, knee guards and a yellow visor. This is a striking contrast with the rest of his overweight and large team and bears a closer resemblance to an American football player which he is heavily implied to be based on.

Like most weak demons, he is quick to act on his instinctive desire to kill those who threaten him, and would not stop even if his superior demanded it. Its inferred he gave himself the name "Rugby" due to his fascination with the titular sport; he considers it the closest thing humans have to recreational violence.


YuYu Hakusho

Rui has long flowing grayish blue hair worn in a long ponytail tied by a white ribbon with four snowflake-like spikes pointing upwards. Like most ice apparitions, Rui has red eyes and wears a white kimono tied up with an obi.

She was the only one of the Ice Apparitions who actually pitied Hiei, telling the newborn just before she dropped him out of the Land of Glaciers to grow into a strong demon and kill her and the Elders to avenge his exile. Despite going through with the exile, it arguably broke Rui's heart just as much as it did Hina's, as shown when Hiei did return to the village through Shigure and her painful recounting of her old friend's death as Hiei was visiting. Showing that she had truly hated herself more than anything for the deed, Rui begged for death when she realized that Hiei was the child she cast out so long ago.


YuYu Hakusho

Ryo is a young man with slick brown hair, blue eyes, and a small Frankenstein-esque cross-shaped scar above his right temple, as well as being typically shirtless exposing his well-toned body, wearing only a pair of black pants with red highlights and black boots. His eyes were blood-red in color when under Ichigaki's control, but reverted back to their natural blue after he was freed from his brainwashing by the Masked Fighter .
In the flashbacks where their master Mitamura was sick (revealed to have been poisoned by Dr. Ichigaki), Ryo wears a blue and white jersey jacket to conceal his well-toned body from his current outfit.


YuYu Hakusho

Makihara was a large, muscular man with short black hair. He wore simple clothing consisting of jeans, sneakers and an orange long sleeve shirt. He had large lips and his eyes were almost constantly closed. When his eyes are opened, they are blue green in color. Given the fact that Elder Toguro had taken control of Sadao's body, the teenager had access to the extraordinary shape-shifting powers that Toguro had. Noticeably, he could elongate his fingers just like Toguro could and Toguro could project his face onto Sadao's hand.
After having his head cut off by Kurama , Elder Toguro sprouts out of Sadao's head, rather than growing a new head. This would mean that Toguro was merely acting as a parasite, rather than an actual body part of the teenager's body.

Not much is known of his personality as all of his speaking lines were actually Elder Toguro's. However, Toguro implies he was acting like him so it can be assumed that he was something of a glutton and could very well have been cruel. His only known reaction to anything was his response to the realization that Toguro was taking over his body. He was noted by Sensui and Elder Toguro as being not too bright, given how he was easily tricked into sealing his own doom.


YuYu Hakusho

Saizou is a tall demon, the third tallest of Raizen's friends. He possesses pointy ears, and wing-like appendages that extend from his back.

It is unknown what his personality is like. However, it can be assumed that he is honorable and loves fighting based on the fact that he was one of Raizen's old friends.


YuYu Hakusho

Sakamoto was not particularly physically imposing. With his thin rimmed glasses and slight build, he did not look like a musclebound or built thug, looking more like a scholarly inclined individual. This made sense because he could not fight well and was easily beaten down. Still, his physical appearance greatly belied how corrupt he had become, becoming particularly intimidating in the sense of being a sociopathic mastermind.


YuYu Hakusho

Sakashita had brown hair and eyes. He was impeccably dressed in a powder blue suit and a red bowtie, and a small mustache that curled upwards.

Sakashita was the perfect loyal butler, who was completely devoted to his master's needs and wants.


YuYu Hakusho

Sakyo is an extremely handsome young man who appears to be in his late 20s or early 30s.
He is of average size, with straight posture and a relatively well-built body. He has long, black hair that is constantly slicked back, with a portion of his bangs on the left side of his face, resting on his forehead. His eyes are dark blue in color. There is a long scar on the right side of his face, reaching from his hairline to the end of his jawbone. He is often dressed formally, with a white button-up shirt, black suit jacket, a dark blue necktie, black slacks and black dress shoes. He also has a black lighter with a gold design which he lights up his cigarette with and later gives it to Shizuru Kuwabara to remember him by.
His live-action appearance depicts him as a middle-aged man rather than being in his late 20s to early 30's in the anime. His long black hair appears ragged with fringes on each side and his long scar on the right side of his face is faded. His long necktie is black rather than dark blue. He also carries a handgun which he uses to commit suicide after losing a bet.

While a vicious and despicable human being, Sakyo does possess a strong sense of honor and fair play, and murders anyone (like Butajiri rigging the tournament in favor of Team Masho ) who uses cowardly and underhanded tactics to win wagers. His underlying personality is that of an absolute sociopath, but one who is unusually self-aware. He is fully aware of the fact that there were no external influences that made him immoral, and is capable of judging himself and his actions quite rationally and objectively. Also most unusually for someone with strong sociopathic tendencies, he displays few if any signs of narcissism. For instance, while he gives no thought to committing, ordering, or witnessing even the most gruesome of crimes, he seems to regard his own life as being just as worthless as any other. He has an extremely flat emotional affect, appearing most of the time to be rather genially bored even in the most extreme of circumstances. Upon losing his final gamble (which he referred to as a "great bet") against Koenma, he takes his own life as promised, without appearing to be even slightly distressed by the either the prospect of killing himself or the commission of the act. He appears to suffer from the sort of chronic emotional understimulation that many sociopaths suffer from, and his gambling and betting all appear to be ways of self-medicating his extremely hampered ability to feel anything. He has said on more than one occasion that gambling is the only thing that gives him any sort of pleasure; he mentions that he continually bets more and more in order to get the sort of "rush" that he once enjoyed from it.
This rush gained from gambling is likely why he despises underhanded tactics used by competing parties to influence the odds in a wager, as knowing the outcome of a bet would diminish the risk and corresponding thrill gained, which is Sakyo's primary motivation for gambling in the first place. As such, he prefers to avoid actively influencing the outcome in any wager.
While he is observant, intelligent, and highly analytical, his sociopathic and hedonistic nature prevents him from understanding humanity on a deeper level. This can be seen in his inability to anticipate and understand Younger Toguro's motivations and goals in the Dark Tournament.
His gambling addiction appears to give him a clear understanding of the instability and impermanence of power and wealth, as most of his betting partners in the Black Black Club lost most of their wealth by betting on the wrong fighters. Sakyo understands this and takes it all in stride, seeing such loss an inevitability if one plays the game long enough.
He openly enjoys smoking, as he is often seen with a cigar (cigarette in the anime) in his mouth during most of his appearances.
In the anime, he does show a soft spot when around Shizuru Kuwabara , demonstrating compassion and even empathy, a stark contrast from his usual unfeeling demeanor.

He sports a shaved hairstyle and is a mid-height tan-skinned teenager.

Sayaka looked like a small girl with blue hair and blue eyes. However, considering how her superior Koenma appears in his toddler form and his actual age, it is possible that Sayaka is indeed much older than she appears. She wears a frilly dress that is somewhat like a nightgown.

Sayaka was originally a very innocent but misguided little girl who spent time with Shouta and wished for him to come to the Spirit World with her. However, upon meeting Yusuke and being consoled by Shouta, she returns back to how she was prior to her death and develops a crush on Yusuke. Despite this, she seems to be quite mature for her age, as shown when she accepted Keiko was a better match for Yusuke than she was.


YuYu Hakusho

Seiryū is a tall and slim man. He towers over the members of Team Urameshi , standing at 12 feet; more than twice as high as Hiei , while possessing pale green skin and black facial hair. His blue martial arts robe is tied at the waist by a large white strap and features the image of a blue dragon wrapping around his shoulder. To match his robe, he wears a dark blue cap, and on his feet he wears a simple pair of black shoes.

Seiryū seems to value power above all else. He has no respect for the weak, or anyone of lower status, including his fellow saint beast Byakko , whom he ruthlessly murders on account of being "soft." In contrast, he displays the utmost loyalty to his superior, referring to Suzaku as "master," even when he is not present. For the most part, Seiryū remains calm and somber even when things seem to get drastic. However, Seiryū does seem to worry about an outcome when the opponents manage to get closer to the tower. Similarly to Byakko, Seiryū too seems to have a bit of a temper when favor is not on his side as seen with his battle with Hiei. Comparably to Byakko, it also seems that Seiryū boasts high confidence as seen when it came to underestimating Hiei, which would lead to his downfall. Seiryū also tends to get annoyed when somebody interrupts his battles. This is seen when, before the battle started, Byakko's approach to the room seemed to aggravate him. Despite valuing power, however, he seems rather arrogant or foolish, as when Hiei later compared him to Touya of Team Masho , he said Seiryū was no master of his ice skill, saying that "he was a fool who thought he could get by on half his lessons" (Episode 38).


YuYu Hakusho

Seitei dresses in the same monk garb as Hokushin and Touou and is almost always seen with his eyes closed, making him look virtually like Hokushin except with closed eyes.

Seitei is a very calm and patient person, in opposition to Touou who is haughty and impatient.
