In his first appearance, before he allies with Yusuke, Murota appears as a tall man in his late thirties with short, dark brown hair cut in a flat-top style. In the manga, he wears a long sleeved, shirt with a flower theme tucked into his baggy, blue dress slacks. In the anime, however, he wears a plain pink turtleneck. Also, he sports a pair of dark dress shoes and a white belt with gold belt buckle. His loose-fitting attire doesn't betray his muscular physique; although in the manga this is less apparent, giving him a more shady, decrepit, look. He has dark skin, and small, angled eyebrows. Later in the manga, he is seen wearing a hooded sweatshirt in addition to his usual attire. [1]

Shigure has a strange sense of fashion, with two large piercings on his lip and head, each sporting a chain. Additionally, he has three smaller piercings on the left side of his jaw. He also has a large scar across his face and a dim gray ponytail kept up via a bright blue bow. He is always seen wearing a light blue, sleeveless robe, white pants, and black bandages wrapping both of his forearms. Also, he hangs a strange U-shaped device from his head either in or behind his ears, which doesn't appear to serve any special purpose.
However, his silhouetted visage in Hiei's initial flashback of the anime gave him a noticeably different appearance. In the flashback, he has a sizable horn on his forehead, pointed ears, and a reptilian-like tail. In addition, he appeared to have the male pattern baldness, not unlike that of Jorge Saotome , and wore a trench coat.

Shinji was a young boy with short black hair and small dot-like eyes. He wears a zip-up jacket and a baseball cap.

Shinji seems to love nature and animals, as seen when he was walking with his grandfather in a forest and rescued a Tanuki from a trap.


YuYu Hakusho

Shinji's Grandfather was a short old man with a bald head. He wore a traditional Japanese robe, perhaps showing his age.

Before his grandson's death, he seemed to be a nice old man who cared about animals, saving a Tanuki from a trap out of the goodness of his heart. However, after his grandson's death, he becomes very grumpy, being a shut-in who does not trust anyone after a bunch of distant relatives tried to get his inheritance. He still loves Shinji dearly, though, which is shown when he gladly spends his final days with a Tanuki who he knows is not really Shinji.


YuYu Hakusho

Sensui was a tall, broad shouldered, long-limbed man with tan skin, an ovoid jewel in the middle of his forehead and a rather long neck. He normally kept his hair slicked back, with a bang arching slightly over his forehead. He wore a casual long-sleeved gray shirt, dark gray jeans with a matching black belt on his waist and a matching shoes making his outfit into a shades of gray. Though the unusual length of his limbs gave the illusion of a slender build, on one occasion after he lost his shirt it was seen that his upper body was quite muscular. This occasion also revealed that his torso, shoulders and arms were all covered with a great deal of heavy scarring, which Sensui inflicted upon himself as part of his combat training. His Kazuya personality also has the ability to morph his right hand and part of his forearm into a gun barrel.
In his Sacred Energy Armor Defense Form while utilizing his Sacred Energy , his long sleeve gray shirt is covered in a yellow spirit armor with light yellow sleeves to cover his arms, a yellow loincloth which is connected to his gray shirt adorned with a white belt and a matching sash which is hanging loose in each sides on his belt, light yellow pants with light cyan kneepads on his knees and his black shoes from his casual outfit. He wears a yellow steel pointy hat which was connected to his yellow armor. This outfit is akin to Yayoi era Japanese clothing, as a man dressed in a suit of armor, often used in the modern day to depict the Shinto kami in the Age of Myths.
In his Sacred Energy Armor Offense Form after switching his Defense Form, he wears a light blue armor with several spike designs at the back, underneath his armor is a black long sleeve V-neck catsuit with white kneepads on both of his knees, a matching ankle length boots in triangular design and white spiked gloves. Enigmatic and otherworldly, this outfit appears to be a stylized version of his younger gakuran uniform, while his armor on his chest, arms and legs stylize and manifest "energy made form"; overall, this gives him the impression of being an otherworldly spirit created by the world around him that he was born into, while drawing upon his prime to showcase his paramountcy of strength.
In his younger years, he had an unstyled haircut and wore clothes similar to his current attire but in a shades of blue as his long sleeved shirt is indigo and his jeans are medium blue while retaining his black shoes from his current attire. In a flashback dating back to his times as a student, he was seen wearing a gakuran , a Western-style school uniform.

The original Shinobu personality, before his madness took hold, held extreme black and white views on the nature of the world. As such, he was as virtuous as humanly possible to those whom he considered righteous, but was utterly ruthless with regard to all those who he believed to be evil. In his estimation, humans were good, and demons were evil, without exception. While never sadistic in the performance of his duties, his perspective enabled him to kill demons for years, often quite brutally, without feeling the slightest hint of regret or remorse. However, his views of the world began to change somewhat after meeting the demon Itsuki, who was accepted by Shinobu as his partner despite being a demon. According to preceding Spirit Detective Kuroko Sato , Sensui was said to have had an air of someone with many thoughts on their mind; always thinking in order to keep himself sane and afloat.
His views on the natures of humans and demons were turned disastrously upside down after witnessing a horrifying ritualistic celebration known as "The Feast of Human Vices", at which humans were sadistically torturing demons to death for their own pleasure. Seeing that humans were capable of evils at least as great as those of the demons, Sensui's mind snapped. Unable to cope not only with the contradiction to his black and white views of the world, but the fact that he had unwittingly slaughtered many demons who may not have deserved it, Sensui went on a murderous rampage and butchered virtually all of the attendees. The rampage, combined with Sensui's guilt and his inability to adapt his thought processes to reality, caused him to develop dissociative identity disorder , creating the first of his additional personalities, the sadistic murderer Kazuya, to take responsibility for all the killing he had done.
Upon his reemergence from the recesses of his psyche during his first fight with Yusuke, the original Shinobu personality retained the polite demeanor of his youth, but was openly and obviously deranged, laughing madly when he activated his Sacred Energy for the first time. He also appeared to have little issue both hurting and killing at least humans without any mental shielding from his additional personalities, as he not only killed Yusuke but rather sadistically broke his arm while making a pun about it. However in the anime, he was visibly disturbed by having to kill numerous encroaching demons while in Demon World, and he had a curious sense of honor which shone through when he allowed Kuwabara, Kurama, and Hiei to attempt to avenge Yusuke's death. He was also extraordinarily intelligent, and was able to successfully manipulate, predict, and outmaneuver all of Spirit World's greatest assets and planners to succeed in not only opening a tunnel to demon world, but destroying the Kekkai Barrier .
Possibly due to creating six other personalities to specialize in certain tasks, Shinobu has been known to be more complete than the other six personalities as it was stated his anger, calmness and the other polarizing aspects of his personality come together. It is implied this "completeness" is required to master Seikoki (sacred energy) as Shinobu stated he is the only one to be able to use Seikoki.

In his human form and his partial transformation, his hair is violet-blue, pale skin, with long tresses tied in a loose ponytail and two large bangs sticking straight up from a widow's peak, before falling back down and parting equally on both sides of his face. In his human form, he is also quite handsome and attractive in his usual appearance, that of a male teenager or young adult, which makes him very popular with demon girls, whose popularity among women is only equalled to that of Kurama's.

During his time in the fighting ring or in front of large crowds, Shishiwakamaru would present himself as a calm and charismatic young man, as a means of attracting as many admirers as possible, or "pleasing the public" as he puts it. It is explained that Shishi's only reason for participating in the tournament was a means of becoming famous. To do this he was willing to fight Toguro . He was also prone to mocking his opponents and even intimidating them by revealing his horns and fangs. Shishi directly swears to Urameshi , that he shall make him eat his spiteful words and calls Kuwabara a loser and says he is ugly to his face. No less than his other teammates, Shishi was arrogant and overconfident in his own strength.
Despite his arrogant, almost pompous behaviour towards his colleagues and adversaries, however, Shishiwakamaru was in fact the only true fighter in Team Uraotogi. Genkai remarks that Shishi was far more powerful than Suzuki ever was. He is ruthless in all his battles, but also logical. Shishi only used his Cape of no Return against Kuwabara, knowing that he was weaker than him. On the other hand, against opponents such as Genkai and the A to S rank participants of the Demon World Tournament , he strictly resorted to his demon katana, to insure any chance of a possible victory.
While fighting Genkai in the tournament, Shishiwakamaru seemed to lack any code of honor, seemingly improvising his moments in which he attacked. In truth, Shishi was smart enough to understand that fighting is not something to laugh about. One must never forget his own reasons for fighting and must never show any signs of weakness. Genkai approves of this, as she claims that she herself is neither good nor evil but merely following her own ambitions. Her honest words ended up touching the demons heart. Shishi admits that in their fight he had developed romantic affections for the old woman and stating that if she was fifty years younger he might have had a chance with her, with Genkai quipping, "Well, aren't I a lucky one."
In his full demon form, he seems a little more excitable, but he regains his composure when returning to his more humanoid form.


YuYu Hakusho

Shizuru, standing tall and slim, has long brown hair, brown eyes, and a fair complexion, causing her to share little to no resemblance with her younger brother, Kazuma. Her typical outfit consist of a white, long-sleeved button down shirt; a long, red tie; a light brown, short-sleeved vest; and long, dark green slacks. Her other outfit is a brown long coat under a long sleeve orange shirt, brown slacks and leather shoes. She can usually be found with a cigarette in her mouth, and her facial countenance is mostly nonchalant and carefree.

Shizuru possesses a mellow and somewhat cynical personality, reflected by her easygoing (and at times bored) facial expression. Shizuru practices a tough love approach when raising Kazuma, causing her to be stern yet loving towards him. In the English anime she refers to him by his first name, while in the English manga and Japanese version she addresses him by a nickname Kazu . Though she usually stays out of other characters' affairs, she occasionally takes matters into her own hands, using the same brute force which seems to run in the Kuwabara family. This type of behavior generally seems to get Shizuru in the most trouble, specifically in several instances during the dark tournament. In addition, she has been endowed with sensitive spirit awareness, yet another of her traits which she shares with her younger brother.

Shogo is a tall and slender man with brown hair, a tan skin complexion and has stubble on his chin. He is seen wearing a green sweater over a pink shirt and a pair of glasses.

Shogo has a light-hearted, timid nature. He would much rather drink tea than alcohol. He also seems to joke around with his children quite often.

Shouta is a young boy with black hair and dark eyes who wears square shaped glasses. When his soul was removed from his body, he was striped pajamas with a breast pocket. Later on, he wears a button-up and a vest.

Shouta is a typical boy who cares a lot for his dog, Jiro , and is completely crushed when he dies while he is at school. Even worse than that, he has bullies who make fun of him for his meekness and sadness about his dog dying. After seeing Jiro ascend to the Spirit World , he becomes more confident and befriends his bullies, but is almost too nice, even trying to let Sayaka take him to the Spirit World.

Shu is actually a small, but strong S-Class demon with silver skin, pointy ears, long combed back hair, black Pants, a belt and two three-webbed feet with claws.

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. He also seems to have a rivalry with Souketsu , another one of Raizen's old friends.


YuYu Hakusho

Shunjun is a male who is in his mid to late twenties, and is characterized by his light blue hair. He does not possess eyebrows and has turquoise eyes.

Initially, he is depicted as a reserved individual, as he doesn't speak and maintains a cool demeanor during their first appearance in Hangman's Cave. However, he is later shown to be a bit of a braggart, as he remarks to his two comrades about how the SDF is feared among demons and considered their "boogeymen". It is also insinuated by one of his teammates, Rinpai, that he was the one responsible for the injury that forced Yoko Kurama to possess the unborn body of Shuichi Minamino, who later became one of Yusuke's Allies and teammates . Shunjun is later seen as the replacement commander for the former captain Ootake , who was removed from his position for failing to kill Yusuke. He also appears later in the All or Nothing OVA in order to assist Yusuke for the mission in order to save Koenma and his subordinates in the Spirit World, which turned out successful.


YuYu Hakusho

Souketsu has dark blond hair, black eyes and two long horns protruding from under a maroon beret. He wears a teal shirt along with a sleeveless lighter blue shirt over it and dark blue pants. He also seems to have a serpentine tail, fangs, claws and pointed ears.

Although little has been seen of him, Souketsu has shown a few notable personality traits. He has a tendency to trash talk before and during his fights, causing Jin to think he sounds like a professional wrestler in the English dub. He was quite cocky in his fight with Jin, he seemed to greatly hold back on the wind master. In his fight with Shu , he is seen taunting him, telling him he "hoped Shu wouldn't look stupid when he lost".
Despite his arrogance, he respected Jin's resolve as the wind master's tenacity reminded him of his own battles with Raizen, where he would fight even though there was no chance of winning. Even though he had lost against Raizen, he was glad that he was able to fight such a worthy foe. After Jin fell unconscious while standing upright, rather than finishing him off, Souketsu helped carry him out of the arena.

As they act as a military group for the Spirit World, each of them wear identical uniforms, consisting of a multi-colored vest with shoulder pads, which is worn over a long-sleeved white shirt, elbow pads, and loose-fitting gray pants which wrap around the heel of their black shoes. They also wear gloves, which, like their elbow and shoulder pads and shoes, are colored black.
The vests are a deep gray color, with yellow lines running from each side of the collar across the shoulders, as well as extending from the front of the collar straight down the mid-section, and connecting to a yellow line extending around the bottom of the vests. There is also a yellow line that extends from the left shoulder down diagonally, meeting at the point where the line extending down the mid-section meets with the line extending around the bottom. A red circle is also imprinted on the left side over the chest area, though it is unknown if this is just part of the vest's design or if it performs some special function. In the series, seven of the nine members are mentioned by name, those being Ootake, Saitō, Sōrai, Ōhō, Ryūhi, Rinbai, and Shunjun. The remaining two are left anonymous, and their names are not mentioned.

Matsuo has close-cropped black hair and very thick eyebrows with an often worried expression. He usually wears his school uniform, which is a simple black suit with a black tie. While boxing, he wears a white long-sleeved shirt and pants with a stripe going through it. While fighting Samejima , he was shirtless with boxing gloves, shorts, and a headpiece.

Matsuo has a dream to box for a living, but his confidence issues often hamper this despite his very impressive strength. Yusuke helps this overcome this shortcoming by purposely challenging Samejima while in his body, and thanks to Yusuke's intervention, Matsuo is able to defeat Samejima and overcome his confidence issues.

Gondawara is a rich old man with grey hair who dresses in expensive suits.

Suzaku has long shoulder-length orange/blond hair that is split down the middle, with two red bangs that act as antennae that hold his spirit energy. He wears a circlet around his head with a green stone in the middle, which has the unfortunate habit of disappearing and reappearing throughout the manga.

He seems quite sadistic in combat, as he ruthlessly tortured Yusuke with Lightning Strikes and saw the suffering of humans as being fun to watch. He speaks in a poetic manner. Suzaku also has a clear hatred of humans, even saying they deserve total genocide. In addition, he paid no real attention when his allies, Genbu , Byakko , and Seiryu were defeated. In contrast, he and his pet-like assistant Murugu , waited patiently for Yusuke to make his way to them with no panic. He has a high-class, quiet, and mocking way of moving before a battle and can throw quite a temper tantrum when things do not go his way.


YuYu Hakusho

Suzuki mentions that he is a master of disguise, having 999 faces at his disposal. Although the truth behind this true tall tale still remained unanswered, Suzuki did however posses the power to shapeshift, being able to change his size, appearance and voice so as not to be identified by the general public. Originally at the Dark Tournament, he takes the form of Onji , an old man with a gray mustache, shoulder length hair, bushy eyebrows, long ears, and a large nose. His clothes at the time were a simple orange vest and pants, a shirt of a greenish yellow shade, sandals and a black cap with two horizontal, red lines.
When he does a small incantation, his appearance changes to a clown with long, spiked, yellow hair, a mask covering the right side of his face, a red ball nose and a painted tear drop bellow his left eye. In this disguise he wears a pink jester's jacket and matching pants. Later we see him bandaged, but without his makeup and extravagant clothing, he looks very normal and "human", with no physical demonic qualities whatsoever, to the point that Kuwabara and Kurama had trouble recognizing him. Later on, when Kurama comes to collect him, Jin , Shishiwakamaru , Touya , Chu and Rinku at Yomi 's behest, he is seen in normal clothing with shorter yellow hair.

Suzuki is a rather flamboyant person, who believes that being in the spotlight means everything. He is noticeable from other participants of the tournament, in the fact that he is both vain and incredibly arrogant. His behavior is a bizarre combination of childish fits, an obvious god complex and egomania. He purposefully participated in the Dark Tournament under the disguise of an old man, only to surprise the spectators and his fellow participants by transforming back into his original clown like outfit. This was a means to build up their interest in him, philosophically reminding people that all gods and devils of various religions and folklore are shrouded in mystery and ambiguity. As such, he claimed that after proclaiming himself as a god to the entire world, his followers would interpret his image differently after he has died, creating one adaptation that will be more marvelous than the previous one.
Suzuki sees himself as no less than a genius and along with Genkai 's approval, attributes all of Team Uraotogi's victories to his incredible craftsmanship. But his physical strength and his muscular structure were noted to have been merely for show. They were a simple means as to scare masses of people, rather than an advantage against an actual fight with any real warriors. Genkai refers to him as a hack when it came to fighting, using deadly force as a means to attract attention. Such honest insults were more than enough to gravely agitate and enrage Suzuki, who immediately lashes at the elderly martial artist.
He formally believed himself to be so beautiful, that Suzuki originally refused to be addressed to by his given name without the word "beautiful" being placed in front of it. He considers it to be insubordination, and would become violent should anyone refuse his request, willing to destroy almost a quarter of the stadium because of this. Another interesting aspect about his personality is Suzuki's intense dislike towards the elderly. He thinks that all old people are disgusting and useless due to their wrinkled skin, weakened bodies and foul smell. Such hatred led him to consider suicide, as to avoid becoming an elderly man himself.
After losing to Team Urameshi within the Dark Tournament, and later becoming an ally of theirs, Suzuki gave up his self-absorbed views on life and admitted that he had been wrong about gaining fame. He becomes much more friendly, calm, and humble (and surprisingly more serious), he gives up on becoming a god all together, but still shows occasional signs of arrogance and narcissism (more prominent in the English dub), as he still becomes irritated when someone doesn't add "beautiful" to his name.
His persona as Onji was an intelligent, cheerful and cunning old man who is able to make correct observations about Team Urameshi's powers and limits, as well as psychologically pull Kuwabara into a trap he fell into before. Like the rest of his team, he shares arrogance and a disregard for his comrades, viewing them to be no more than pawns for his ambitions.
Suzuki seems to be friends with Shishiwakamaru as seen when Shishiwakamaru seemingly lost during the Demon World Tournament , Suzuki reacted with concern.

Tanuki looks like a typical racoon dog, with a bushy tail and dark rings around his eyes.

Tanuki is very loyal, willing to stand by Shinji's grandfather's side in his final days because he was saved by him. However, he does not seem to understand the moral implications of turning into Shinji.

Tetsuzan appears shirtless with a very muscular build and a dark brown skin tone. He wears green pants and a pair of white boots with a yellow sash. He also wears bandages on his arms and wears a helmet on his head that hides most of his appearance, save his small black eyes. He is very tall, even among Raizen's friends.

Since he does not have any lines, 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.

The elder Toguro has a somewhat elderly and bedraggled Northern European-like appearance, contrasting with his younger brother's Southern European appearance. He has long, unkempt, gray hair parted down the middle of his head, long, pointy sharp fingernails, and wears a dark blue long-sleeved button-up shirt with matching pants and black leather dress shoes. His skin is also extremely pale. He is significantly smaller than his brother, who is more than twice his size, and is initially seen perched on his younger brother's shoulders [1] . His live-action appearance depicts him with long unkempt white hair.
While he is diminutive in both versions, his size is considerably different in the manga and anime. In the anime, his height, though small, is within the realm of human norms. In the manga, however, he is much more diminutive; his size is more comparable to a small animal than a human.
Given that Toguro is a shapeshifter with full control over his body, he occasionally twists the inside of his body, moving various organs to unusual areas, such as his heart onto his hands. Toguro could manipulate his body to such an extent that his hand could become a dummy for his full body. Toguro could even take on the form of inanimate objects, whether it was a limb or his entire body, and on one occasion, he displayed the ability of replicating the appearance of other people, namely Genkai, during his fight against Kuwabara.
When he was human, Toguro wore a dark gray martial arts Gi with a black long sleeve undershirt, and matching dark gray martial arts pants tucked into his Gi and brown martial arts shoes.

It was implied, by Younger Toguro, that Elder Toguro had a sense of honor as he dedicated his life to martial arts, but after becoming a demon, he later becomes corrupted, resulting in his warped personality. Elder Toguro differs from his younger brother in many ways. He is noticeably sadistic, gaining pleasure from torturing his opponents both physically and mentally. This is something which has been shown to bother his younger brother. He is arrogant, stating that out of the two brothers he is the brains while the Younger Toguro is the brawn. He is disrespectful, as shown when he mocked Genkai after her death. Worst of all, and much to Younger Toguro's displeasure, he has no sense of honor and has been shown to use dishonest tactics when fighting. He is also noted as saying that he enjoys breaking promises, unlike his brother.

Toguro's sadistic stare

Like all of his team, he enjoys fighting, as seen when he stepped up to fight Hiei , but was interrupted by Bui . He has some respect for his brother, as he is visibly upset when Younger Toguro decided to turn on him after his disgusting insult to Genkai (or how in the manga and Japanese version his suggestion to help his brother cheat in his match against Yusuke Urameshi despite the fact that Younger Toguro wished to fight Yusuke alone honorably). Regardless, both brothers shared common interests, as both chose to become demons that never grew old, completely followed the orders of their contractor, allowed Bui and Karasu to join their team, knowing that they were planning their vengeance, and harboring feelings for Genkai. However, Elder Toguro merely had a sexual attraction for her during her youth, as opposed to Younger Toguro's deep respect for her as a fighter and as a person.
Overall, Elder Toguro is extremely repulsive and despicable to where even his associates will leave him due to his utter vileness and lack of moral; if any, general decency. Upon confronting him for the last time, in the manga, Kurama explicitly calls him out as a "soulless fuck".


YuYu Hakusho

Toguro is a very tall man, standing easily over six feet, being so large that his brother can sit on his shoulders and look vastly smaller in comparison. His appearance is remarkably similar to that of a Southern-European man - unlike his older brother's Northern-European appearance - bearing a noticeable, light brownish skin color. Toguro sports a stereotypical military crew cut hairstyle, and has a long, pointed chin. He is often seen wearing sharp black sunglasses, an olive green trench coat with a green tank top underneath, dark gray pants with a black belt on his waist and black shoes that help to conceal his Olympic-style muscular physique. His sharp black sunglasses were later destroyed when he was hit for the first time by Yusuke's Spirit Gun during the Dark Tournament finals and his eyes appeared to be black instead of hazel. His live-action appearance has minor changes; his military crew cut hairstyle is changed to a short wavy haircut and his entire main outfit is all black except for his tank top which is originally a black muscle tank top. The black muscle tank top that he wears was later replaced by a mesh brown tank top since he rips his muscle tank top to shreds upon releasing his demon energy to kill Genkai. His eyes as a demon are olive after Yusuke knocks his sharp black sunglasses off with his powerful Spirit Punches.
When Toguro releases his demon energy into his muscles, his body becomes greater in size and strength, exponentially gaining the physical strength necessary to lift objects that weigh a number of tons. Before he transforms into that state, he will remove his olive green trench coat or go shirtless by ripping his tank top to shreds when facing both Yusuke and Kuwabara during Yukina's rescue. Upon reaching the full extent of this transformation, Toguro's body becomes interlaced with vein-like muscle fibers. His skin turns gray and his shoulders grow in tremendous size with a pointed appearance whilst also gaining a pair of tube-like appendages coming out of his shoulders. It is hinted that the demonic appearance of Toguro's transformation is derived from Kairen 's general design and physique. When he reaches maximum capacity, his pants and shoes are almost entirely ripped to shreds, leaving only the shorts-like remains of his pants and belt, and is left barefoot. When he was finally defeated by Yusuke, his gray skin begins to crack and shatter all over his body as he forcibly reverts to his human form, albeit with broken muscle-like appendages all over his body and his skin turning pale white. His live-action demonic appearance has differences to his anime counterpart. His skin is light brownish in color rather than gray. His pants have large holes on the right thigh and left knee and the edge of his pants are torn and he is barefoot.
When he was human, he was still rather tall and muscular, but had a slightly softer looking face and expressive hazel eyes, without any sunglasses. He wore a dark blue sleeveless martial arts dogi with a sewn-together section at its right shoulder blade, matching dark blue pants, purple sash belt, and violet martial arts shoes. In the live-action adaptation, he has brown eyes and his martial arts dogi and pants are white and both his sash belt and shoes are black.

Throughout the series, Younger Toguro displays a calm, relaxed attitude, hardly ever showing any signs of emotion. His only accentuated facial expressions are present when he is either very happy, usually during an exciting fight, or very angry, against posers and dishonorable people. He mostly speaks plainly and firmly to others, and is never afraid to speak his mind. However, underneath this composed exterior lies a man with a powerful, self-applying and dependable code of personal honor and general morals. Toguro prefers not to take the lives of anyone unless the job demands it, and usually ends up apologizing for his actions afterwards. He is also very loyal to his employer, as long as he is under contract. But while in the presence of individuals who behave dishonorably, cheat, mock, or otherwise do not follow the rules, he displays a ruthless and highly brutal behavioral pattern. For example, during the time of the tournament's finals, in the English dub, Toguro literally kicks his older brother off the island and heavily knocks him into the nearby ocean with one heavy punch after the older sibling sadistically mocks Genkai for her decisions in life in front of the tournament's entire audience (in the manga and Japanese anime version his brother suggested that they cheat, something that personally insulted Younger Toguro, who pointed this out just before he kicked his brother off the island, stating that he had forsaken his humanity but never his honor).

Throughout the Dark Tournament, while it seemed that Sakyo was pulling the strings, it is slowly revealed that Toguro was the real one who manipulated the Tournament to his own ends; he wished to be killed at full strength by Yusuke Urameshi. Toguro's desire for death in mortal combat at the hands of a human being is later revealed to be a philosophical and psychological phenomenon, possibly derived from the trauma caused by the deaths of his students, which occurred many years prior to the beginning of the series. The murderer of his students was the previous Champion of The Dark Tournament, a demon called Kairen. After killing the demon champion during the next tournament, Toguro wished to become a demon similar to Kairen, so that he would never lose his strength because of aging, and so that he himself would one day get killed in the same manner by another human, as a means of repenting for his vindictive actions.
During his trial in Spirit World, Toguro asks that he be sent to Hell (Limbo in the FUNimation dub), insisting that he had thought a great deal about his actions and that no other place would be suited for him - however, Koenma directly tells Toguro that he could receive a much less torturous punishment not only due to Toguro having been a warrior for his entire life but mostly because his actions were never atrocious enough to condemn him to eternal damnation. Still, Toguro does not change his mind and voluntarily goes to Hell/Limbo anyways. Before that, Genkai approaches Toguro and talks about his actions in the Dark Tournament, where she reveals that she considers Yusuke as being the closest thing she had to a son. In his own odd way, Toguro also thought the same way and says that he truly cared about Yusuke.
According to Elder Toguro, Genkai and Younger Toguro were also said to have been very intimate lovers when the latter was still a human. Even though they have severed ties due to the Toguro brothers's wish to become demons after defeating Kairen in the Dark Tournament, something which disgusted Genkai, the Younger Toguro still seemed to harbor feelings for her, despite mocking her old age prior to killing her. This was shown when his brother had insulted her death, after which he sent his brother flying off the island with a devastating kick (or in the case of the manga and Japanese anime version where it was due to his anger towards his brother's suggestion that they try to cheat) and heavily knocked him through the nearby ocean with a single punch when his older brother attempted to attack from behind after his refusal to his brother's assistance.
Despite his strong sense of honor, the evidence suggests that the more of his demon form's power he shows, the less honorable he becomes, going so far as to kill members of the audience, devouring their souls, simply to maintain his highest demon energy levels. In his faux full-power form, he is prepared to do anything, and even pretends to kill Kuwabara, in order to bring out Yusuke's full potential. This is symbolic of the deepening of his soul's corruption.


YuYu Hakusho

Like most of his team, Topaz is extremely large, easily dwarfing Younger Toguro in stature, with dark skin and yellowish eyes. He wears a golden belt with spikes surrounding the circle, with brown pants and steel-gray armbands. He is also the most humanoid and largest member of his team. He has a drastically different appearance in the manga, he has much lighter skin, messy hair, and a demonic-looking mouth. He also wears more clothes.

He is serious and has a strong code of honor, killing his teammate Rugby , for being dishonorable and wanted to kill Yusuke fairly in the ring should the chance arrive. This desire to kill the Spirit Detective becomes his motivation in the tournament, which is cut short by Younger Toguro when the latter kills him brutally.

Touou dresses in the same monk garb as Hokushin and Seitei. He has a striking lower jaw and was the tallest of the three monks who came to see Yusuke Urameshi . Because of Seitei's striking resemblance to Hokushin, this made Touou stand out.

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

Fitting with his power over ice, Touya has slicked-back bluish-purple hair in a turbanesque shape, with four jade color strands jutting downwards on the left side of his face. He is short of stature but mature with his facial expression, head up straight with composure and with pointy eyelids and low, angular blue eye-brows, giving the impression that he is always keeping his sight on a certain object. He wears a long-sleeve fishnet undershirt and over it a dark blue shirt with lighter blue pants. In his first appearance in the Dark Tournament , he wears a one-shouldered white tunic with a lavender gem on the shoulder, and his purple belt is also decorated with a lavender gem. His shinobi robe is black with a pointy hood that is decorated with a green cross. In the Saga of the Three Kings, he's abandoned the white tunic and the gems, which could signify that he's no longer employed as a shinobi. In the glimpses of his training under Genkai , he is seen wearing a form-fitting white shirt.

While fighting Kurama , he was shown as a very stoic and merciless fighter, as he attacked him despite him being under Gama 's spell. He also seemed to be rather arrogant, claiming to win every last one of his fights against his opponents. This cocky behavior seemed to derive from his compassion, noticeable as he swore to defeat Kurama as to avenge Gama's death. Touya displayed a calm exterior when he was fighting, being intelligent enough as to not underestimate his enemy, even if they happened to be handicapped. He attacks with the same level of strategy as his opponent, always thinking of what the opponent might plan next.

Touya and Jin's friendship.

It is assumed that Jin and Touya were already friends because they are rarely seen separated from each other's company. They are fellow Shinobi, but it is never openly stated that they are friends. It is stated by Jin during a short conversation with Team Urameshi that Touya is a prodigy amongst prodigies. Touya has a more rocky relationship with team leader, Risho , as he berates him for cheating in the tournament, but Risho silences him by backhanding him with a fully rock covered fist. Touya respects Kurama, after Kurama chooses to save his life, and agrees to join Kurama's team of demons for the sake of the stability of the Demon World.
Despite his social flaws, Touya appeared to hide a much more profound and philosophical side. When Kurama asks Touya as to what his shinobi clan would do should they obtain the island (and eventually spread their reach over the entire human world), he merely and quite metaphorically stated that his ninja clan would obtain " the light ". This seemed to reference the fact that his clan did not possess a certain degree of freedom. As the ninjas had been hiding in the shadows for so long, they wished to finally be acknowledged and spread their influence. During the events of the Three Kings Saga, Touya admits to Kurama that through fighting Team Urameshi he feels that he has become freed to believe what he wanted and wants to continue to fight to the fullest, to the point that he could prove himself of his existence. In a way, he has finally obtained the light.

Amanuma is a young, fair-skinned boy with brown hair in a full fringe and at the back of his head it has a black bowl cut hairstyle. He has freckles on the center of his nose.
He wears a sky-blue long-sleeved mini-hoodie with a blue hood, blue shorts, white socks, and blue shoes. He also wears an arm guard on his right forearm, something frequently used to relieve stress on the forearm of his dominant hand. In his initial meeting with Shinobu Sensui , Amanuma wears a red long-sleeved hoodie as the color of his hood is white and light red with blue suspenders and matching pants and shoes.
At the end of Chapter Black Saga , he wears a light green long-sleeved loose button shirt, indigo jeans, and brown shoes.
Amanuma with his Gamemaster garb.

Fitting his age, he is immature and carefree, thinking only of video games and being a little foul-mouthed. During his time alongside Sensui's Seven, Amanuma became arrogant and cruel, claiming to dislike the games he was prone to winning and mocking Mitarai for his change of heart, after the latter had joined Yusuke's friends in stopping Sensui. A talented and academically smart child, his arrogance and dejection would turn this into something of a smart-aleck streak. Appropriate for his age, he was also naïve as to think that Sensui's plans were to unleash demonkind onto Earth as a mere harmless prank, and was ultimately ignorant of the more dangerous aspects of his powers. However, when Kurama reveals the nature of his power, and that he will die if he happens to lose the game, all of the bravado he was once filled with flies out of the window, and Amanuma quickly turns into a scared child.
Similar to Kiyoshi Mitarai , his former comrade among the Sensui Seven, Amanuma describes himself as an outcast. While his school mates preferred to play sports, instead he spent his free time at arcades and on TV consoles. However, after the events involving the near destruction of all humanity, Amanuma becomes nicer to children of his own age, befriending his school mates after realizing that they were not all that different. He becomes popular among them after they notice his talent with video games.


YuYu Hakusho

The original legendary character named Urashima Taro was an average sized man, about twenty years of age, with long black hair and a Japanese fisherman kimono. He fished using a long pole with a net tied at one end. As such, Ura Urashima is quite a contradiction to the original.
By far the shortest member of Team Uraotogi, Ura Urashima possesses a slightly endomorphic body structure, consisting of a rather stocky torso and a soft, round facial countenance. His jet-black hair, similar to that of Yusuke , is slicked-back, leaving just a few small bangs hanging down the middle of his widow peak forehead, while the rest of his facial mien is characterized by a wide, u-shaped chin; a small, slightly-protruding nose; and an ever-present sinister smirk. His clothes, typical fisherman garments, include a long-sleeved, turquoise shirt; short, black tights, which extend halfway down his shins; straw bottoms held up by a thin, black belt; and a small pair of sandals, identical to those worn by teammates Onji and Shishiwakamaru . He wields a modern-day fishing line, rather than a fishing net, as his weapon of choice.
After his death at the hands of Shishiwakamaru, Ura Urashima's true appearance is shown. He is a short, porcine demon with red skin. After looking at his corpse, Kurama reveals that he is a type of demon called an Illusion Beast.

Like the majority of his teammates, Ura Urashima possesses no integrity as a fighter, using whatever dishonorable tactics available in order to win any match. A master at deceptive strategy, Ura has both the ability and lack of principles to exploit opponents' emotions in order to facilitate victory, exemplified during his match against Kurama. When given the upper hand in battle, Ura is uncharitable and merciless, willing to ruthlessly kill an opponent without hesitation. However, in the face of death, he shows his true, cowardly personality, shamefully pleading with his opponent for sympathy on his spineless soul.


YuYu Hakusho

Yakumo's visage commands the loyalty and respect of all who serve him. When he first appears in the film, most of his body is shrouded in a glossy black cloak with red lining. Underneath it, he wears dark pants and gloves, as well as a green sleeveless shirt with a high collar.
Yakumo has a triangular face, and thick white hair which stands in stark contrast to his dark skin tone; his hair sticks upward in multiple directions, and has a well-kept appearance. This is characteristic of someone of his physical and social stature. His eyebrows are spiky with hair protruding onto his forehead like the quills of a porcupine. Much of the time he wears a smug, toothy grin, one that expresses confidence and self-assuredness.
His shadowed eyes, with their purple irises, are cold and calculating: his expression being one of pure evil and determination.

Although much of his past history is unknown, Yakumo maintains the countenance of a distinguished and effective leader. He is seen to have a very controlling and self-righteous personality, which allows him to work toward a goal efficiently, calmly assessing his tactical situation and having confidence in his ability to succeed.
Overall, he remains very calm and mysterious throughout his appearances, presumably deep in thought about ensuring his plan to gain possession of the different worlds comes to fruition. He is somewhat aloof, having torn apart large areas of the Human World nonchalantly, indifferent to other opinions on the moral basis of his actions. As his goal of restoring the Netherworld on new territory progressed as he had planned, Yakumo seems proud, and pleased, relieved that after so many years, he can know complete control.
He is extremely arrogant, to the point that "Know your rightful place!" is a catchphrase of his.


YuYu Hakusho

Yatsude's appearance suggests the results of mutations combined with the characteristics of a very primitive demon. He wears a dumbfounded, artificial facial expression and has buck teeth. He has long, stringy hair parted in the center of his skull. His body contains eight appendages each with dexterous digits, with the bottom two appendages serving as legs, a pair of muscular arms growing from either side of his upper torso and a smaller pair of arms protruding from his head where his ears should be. Each of his eight limbs contain long sharp claws. He wears a simple loin cloth and a belt of skulls (minus the lower jaws), presumably the remains of his victims. [1]


YuYu Hakusho

He is an old and small demon with four horns on his head. His skin color is greenish brown and he has light grey hair, a light grayish beard and long eyebrows. He wears a yellow orange and tropical indigo keikogi and purple pants.

He is one of the most loyal subjects of King Yomi, and did not oppose Kurama like the others, coming to comment in favor of him and against Shachi .


YuYu Hakusho

When he worked with Yoko Kurama , Yomi had only two ears, but after he lost his sight, he gained four more as his body was forced to adapt to a sightless existence. He has long, black hair and two prominent horns that jut down from his forehead but appear to frame his head. Additionally, he has four horns on his head, two on each side, and one jutting from the back of his head, giving him a total of seven horns. He also wears a light garment underneath red robes and has a defined musculature. Kurama caused Yomi to become blind by planning an attack from a rogue demon on him.

Despite never begging for mercy in battle, after losing his sight, Yomi is a calm person, who thinks before he acts even in battle, which is arguably what contributed most to his growing strength. In the English dub, he tells Kurama that he did his best to model himself after him; this is true enough as Yomi takes the time and patience to gather intel to devise backup plans. Even Kurama notes that Yomi took a great deal of preparation to blackmail him into an alliance.
He was also influenced by the words of the demon who blinded him. The demon said, as he withdrew after taking a non-fatal wound, "Life's more important than the reward." This had an effect on the young Yomi, who had up to then acted recklessly in the pursuit of riches and power. He came to value survival above all else, to the point where he maintained a centuries-long standoff with Raizen and Mukuro rather than attack one of them and risk being attacked by the other while still weakened from the battle.
He also genuinely loves his son, Shura, who he fought in the Demon World Tournament . Rather than fight at full strength, like Shura wanted, Yomi was actually helping his son become a better fighter. He also gets along well with his subordinates, but can also be quite the manipulator, Yomi being the first person to outwit Kurama and get away with it. Yomi seems rather cold-hearted but while it seems like he would kill his son, he is just establishing a will to fight in his son. Yomi also seems determined to ensure Shura does not grow up as he did, bloodthirsty and impulsive.
While Yomi does not display any particular hatred for the human species, he does seem to believe demons may consume as many of them as they please, claiming humans are plentiful in number and "reproduce as if they are fighting extinction as it is", possibly foreseeing a time when humanity shall doom itself and its own domain with the threat of overpopulation if demonic predators were to simply let them be, but he later changed his mind about it.
His encounters with Yusuke Urameshi has Yomi uncovering parts of his personality that he had never discovered before; namely, that of his primal demon self and the allure of a decent battle in the hopes of winning it all. Yomi refers to this itch for battle as his warrior spirit, something he believed was sacrificed for his level-headedness, as Yomi notes "I find myself throwing out my rule book when facing you".
It is notable that despite being on relatively good terms with his enemies now (i.e. Yusuke), he has not given up on the goals of unification he possesses in the Demon World, and will more then likely continue his plans if he ever wins the tournament.
According to Raizen, Yomi is by far the demon who is the greatest threat to both the Human World and Spirit World . This is due to Yomi being a visionary (ironic, given his blindness) who seeks power beyond ruling only the Demon World. Raizen warns Yusuke that Yomi's goal of unification is merely a front for increasing the size of - and moving his army. Should Yomi succeed in uniting Demon World, he would have an army great enough to challenge, and potentially conquer, all three worlds. His ambitions were only thwarted after the Demon World Tournament forced him to give up his leadership position. Despite having taken his defeat in the tournament in stride, he has not given up his ambitions.


YuYu Hakusho

Yukina has long greenish cyan hair that is kept in a low ponytail where it is tied in the back with a fancy red ribbon and red eyes. Her live-action appearance is similar to her anime counterpart and her greenish cyan hair was tied in a loose ponytail.
She is almost always seen wearing a long-sleeved, light blue kimono with a darker blue obi that's tied in the back. The red 'lining' seen around her collar indicates she has a Hiyoku (an undergarment) on underneath it. She is also rather short, being a half a head shorter than Keiko and even slightly shorter than the her already short brother. Her appearance does not change until the final episode of the anime. Her long hair is now braided, and she wears a pink dress with a brown cardigan sweater.

Yukina at the end of the manga.

In the All or Nothing OVA, Yukina's hair is now tied in a high ponytail and wears a light blue short sleeved loose cotton dress and brown flats.

Yukina, unlike her family of female ice apparitions, is very kind-hearted and polite, although a bit naive. Because of her upbringing, she is largely oblivious to Kuwabara's romantic feelings towards her for most of the series, finding his flirting to be humorous. Despite this, she does seem to care for him and enjoy his company. Yukina is the only main character (aside from Kuwabara's sister) who refers to him by his given name, Kazuma.
Yukina also appears very curious about the identity of her brother and is determined to find him, though in the end she never finds out who he is. She is a very caring person and loves nature. The most well known (and tragic) example of this is when Elder Toguro constricts and kills two birds in his hand, resulting in her breaking into tears. Despite being taken prisoner and used as a "gem producer" by Gonzo Tarukane , she didn't allow it to affect her opinion of humans, remarking to Kuwabara, shortly after being freed, that she still enjoys being around them.
Over time, Yukina distanced herself from her people. She felt that the Ice Maidens had grown cynical and emotionless as a race, remarking that their hearts were as "frozen" as their homeland. Due their cold nature driving her mother to suicide, she reveals a more vengeful side as well, one motive to find her twin brother being to fulfill their self fulfilling prophecy of their demise at the hands of the "imiko".


YuYu Hakusho

Yusuke has jet-black hair with a dark greenish shine, usually slicked back with gel, with brown eyes. He has a peach-to-tan skin complexion and a skinny but lean, muscular body. His live-action appearance has no greenish shine as it shows his jet-black hair.
He wears a green jumpsuit with gold buttons and black shoes (a substitute for the blue school uniform he should be wearing). In the live-action adaptation, his jacket from his green jumpsuit is open to reveal his black sleeveless shirt (His shirt was ripped open when the Emergency Medical Technicians were trying to revive him by CPR before dying following the hit-and-run accident) and the interior of his jacket is blue. He also wore a white sleeveless muscle shirt underneath his green jumpsuit when he trained to use his Spirit Gun under Genkai's tutelage. During the Dark Tournament Saga , he wears a red copper jacket (with tan colored cuffs and collar) over a white shirt, along with pale blue jeans and white sneakers. When fighting, he switches to a yellow sleeveless shirt and blue jeans, with black shoes, a black karate belt, and green wristbands. At the beginning of the Chapter Black Saga , he wears his red jacket look but rapidly replaces it with a teal blazer and a white jersey. In his fight against Sensui, he is seen without the green suit jacket as the white shirt that he wears was now loose. During the beginning of Three Kings Saga , Yusuke returns to the complete red copper jacket look. Then, Yusuke dons the same outfit as in the Dark Martial Arts Competition during the whole year he trained with Hokushin and Raizen's followers. As part of his Mazoku inheritance by Raizen before dying, he wears the same outfit as in the Dark Martial Arts Competition; his sleeveless shirt becomes light yellow and his black karate belt is replaced with a black obi and his blue martial arts pants became longer due to his current height.
Then, Yusuke as the main host of the Demon World Tournament starts, dons a white-clad keikogi and light grey pants, complete with a green sash around the waist and black shoes. He is also seen wearing a complete navy blue suit with grey pants, black shoes, and a white undershirt when visiting his superior Kuroko Sato .
Yusuke will once again change outfits in the All or Nothing OVA and the manga. His main difference will be his hairstyle. In some episodes, his hair becomes messier when it is not slicked back, like when his body was taken care of by Keiko until his revival, in his first fight against Chu in the Dark Martial Arts Competition, receiving too much pain from Genkai's Spirit Wave Orb as his final test, trying to beat Younger Toguro after he swiftly killed Genkai and her dying words, being knocked down by Yomi which leads to his loss in the Demon Tournament and being treated his serious injuries and being washed up in the beach when Keiko had kissed him in the end.
When his demon blood is awakened, he has long black hair with dark brown highlights (white when possessed by Raizen in the anime) and Mazoku markings on his face, arms, and chest.
In the Poltergeist Report movie, Yusuke wears two outfits; his first outfit is his primary attire in the Chapter Black saga only his suit jacket is replaced with a blue long-sleeve denim blazer jacket and his white short-sleeve shirt remains loose. His second outfit is similar to his red copper jacket look but wearing his blue blazer jacket from his first outfit and his white sneakers are replaced with black and gray high-top dunks.
When fighting against Yakumo , Yusuke had his sleeve shirt folded to make it sleeveless much like his appearance during his battle against Rando in the Genkai Tournament until his shirt is destroyed when he uses the Power Sphere to fuse with his own powers to defeat him.
In the latest OVA 2018, Yusuke's hair, similar to his looks in the last chapters of the manga, is initially a little messier look with fringes before he combed it back to its slicked-back style. When his mission to rescue Koenma from getting hostage along with the good demons, He retains his primary attire in the Dark Tournament Saga, and his red jacket look was replaced with a brown leather jacket, and the color of his jeans are now blue.

Having a no-show for a father and with his mother always off somewhere else (getting drunk or partying), Yusuke has grown up in a very neglectful environment. He's short-tempered, impulsive, merciless, and likes to intimidate those who are afraid of him. Underneath his bold, cocky attitude, he has a joking and kind nature. Yusuke has also had the bad luck of having to deal with so many cruel and despicable people at such a young age, Iwamoto being among them.

"My imagination, or did you get a nice ass?"

One of his most notable traits is his desire to fight, which becomes more noticeable as the series progresses. Yusuke has been noted on many occasions, even by his own admission, to be rather unintelligent, and, at times, just plain stupid. However, he has also been shown many times to be capable of being clever, perceptive, and sharp-witted in dire situations and in addition, his teacher Genkai later notes, he "can be a genius at fighting". Yusuke's desire to fight is more out of enjoyment of a good brawl, and surprisingly Yusuke doesn't like killing if he can avoid it. Another prominent trait of Yusuke's psyche is his sense of justice, as he doesn't tolerate evildoers and always has a firm resolve to capture or even beat them for the sake of doing the right thing.
Even though Yusuke is feared by most students and severely disliked by almost all of the teachers, he is generally misunderstood. Keiko Yukimura, one of his childhood friends (and later love interest), is one of the very few who knows Yusuke is actually very kind, and she sympathizes with his problems in life. Yusuke also becomes very protective of his friends, especially Keiko, Botan, Koenma, Kuwabara, Kurama, and Hiei. Out of all the six mentioned, though, Younger Toguro notes that Yusuke is "the most protective" of Kuwabara, most likely because Yusuke knew him longer than Hiei and Kurama, and also because of the frailty of Kuwabara's human heritage. By extension, Yusuke can be mildly vengeful. When Dr. Ichigaki's test subjects were released, Yusuke beat him much more severely than he might have otherwise. Likewise, when Bakken of Team Mashotsukai finished beating Kurama, Yusuke took great time and pleasure beating him .
Following the Chapter Black Saga, Yusuke gains a more neutral opinion regarding the comparative worth of human and demonic lives. He accepts demons' need to eat humans to keep up their strength; as a matter of fact, he discusses this with Hokushin , claiming he would not have attacked him if he had been forthright about his dietary habits in their first meeting. Yusuke's foremost predecessor as Spirit Detective, Kuroko Sato , notes it's like Yusuke's humanity is fading with the awakening of his demon nature, even though Yusuke himself claims he would never eat humans. Her statement about his disconnection from humanity is not entirely untrue, however, as Yusuke later casually offers to kidnap a few humans to give Raizen nourishment, even going as far as to shout that he'd "stuff them down (his throat) himself" if that's what it will take to get a good fight out of the ancient warrior; the English dub tones it down a bit with Yusuke saying that he would kidnap evil humans. However, this implies that he's grown desensitized to death in general; Yusuke knows there's an afterlife, so even if someone died, they'd go somewhere after judgment by Koenma.

Zakuro has a tall and muscular build similar to Kirin with rustic-colored skin and auburn hair. His face is hidden by a green mask covering his mouth plus a uniquely shaped yellow helmet on the right side of his head with two short spikes emanating from the right and a slightly longer one on the lower left half curving downwards. The helmet is matched by shoulder armor connected in the front by a thin membrane (similar to Shinobu Sensui 's Defense Sacred Energy Armor), a gauntlet on his left arm, chausses with boots, and a narrow fauld that exposes his upper legs. He wears a midnight blue fabric around his waist and has black wrappings around his lower left arm with matching gloves. There are red armbands on his forearms as well.
In the manga, more of Zakuro's face is shown with large teeth and a standard nose plus his feet are exposed with with three sharp talons on each. He wears hand wraps exposing his fingers and carries a distinct axe on his back.

Zakuro shows extreme arrogance in his abilities to the point he boasted directly to Yusuke and Hokushin that he'd kill them, plus Yomi and every other competitor in the Demon World Tournament in order to become the new Demon World King. There is reason to assume that this arrogance played a part in his loss during the match with Toboso .
His brief appearance in the anime shows that Zakuro has strong faith in Mukuro 's power, believing that she never would have lost to Enki had she been at full power.


YuYu Hakusho

Zeru is a tall, muscular demon with broad shoulders and long, sharp ears. His hair is blond, parted down the middle, with each section spiked up at an angle. He wore a dark blue muscle shirt and khakis, as well as black boots. His blue eyes always gave a cold stare, even in the midst of battle, until it was contorted into a look of absolute terror when faced with the Dragon of the Darkness Flame technique.

Zeru, at first glance, appeared aloof and serious which is retained for most of his appearance, until his fight with Hiei , which revealed his true character: being extremely short tempered and confident in his ability.
His actions result in the deaths of whoever ignores or belittles him. He prefers quick and fiery deaths in one blow, and then insults the opponent for their weakness. When Hiei revealed his Dragon of the Darkness Flame technique, Zeru became paralyzed with fear just as the Dragon flame consumes him, his entire spirit pulled into oblivion. Zeru, unlike other beings that are C Class , quietly observes the opponent while putting on an act like he is at B Class level, using what he can instinctively sense from the opponent, intimidating them with his strength to get a reaction, and commenting on his teammates moves. Zeru can be seen as arrogant: the type of apparition who enjoys flaunting his powers, doing so to an extreme that results in his destroying countless demon onlookers during his match. Despite this uncaring attitude, he is compassionate enough to warn his teammate Rinku to get out of the way of Kuwabara 's attack.

Chris is a tall man who has dark, brown hair; with the top being dyed blond from the fringe to the crown. Chris' hair was fully blond as a child, so it likely darkened over time. He has long eyelashes, lime-green eyes, mustache stubble, and a goatee beard.

Chris has a deep love for figure skating. He is also a very sexual person, which is reflected in both his personal relationships and in his figure skating. He greets Yuuri Katsuki at the Cup of China by stroking latter’s rear. [2] He also has more sensual music choices for his programs. He tends to become very immersed in his performances. [2] [1]
Chris is self-confident enough to not care much about what people think of him, being brave enough to dance semi-nude at the previous year's GPF banquet.


Yuri!!! on Ice

Emil is a six-foot-tall young man with an athletic build. He has shaggy, dark blond hair, blue eyes, a mustache stubble, and a short beard.

Emil is a kind, straightforward, honest, and true gentleman. He has a protege-like temperament, so he is easily ordered around, usually by Michele Crispino and he is also very sociable as he often asks Sara Crispino , and sometimes Michele, to go out for dinner or drinks with him.
He is the only one who returns Yuuri Katsuki 's hug during Yuuri's brief hugging spree after the Rostelecom Cup free program.


Yuri!!! on Ice

Georgi has black hair, cyan eyes, and a lean, slightly muscular build. He usually styles his hair in a quiff. He wears a tank top while training in order to "look beautiful", but others tend to find it strange. [1]

Guang Hong is a short, slender, young man with messy, light, brown hair, and maroon eyes. He has light freckles and is sometimes seen with a ruddy face.

Yuri!!! on Ice

Morooka has short, messy brown hair and round, dark eyes.
He is often seen with his green jacket.

She wears a necklace that has Jean-Jacques Leroy 's initials on a pendant.

Isabella is hugely supportive of Jean-Jacques Leroy , singing along with his theme song to encourage JJ during his short program at the Barcelona Grand Prix Final. Later on, after JJ's scores are announced, she remains strong in her support of him by starting a chant in the arena to cheer JJ up after receiving a low score [1] .
She is emotionally strong as well as she was unfazed when she was shouted at by Yuri Plisetsky at the outing in Barcelona, although she sulks and leans into JJ for comfort [2] .


Yuri!!! on Ice

Jean-Jacques is a moderately tall, well-built and handsome tan-skinned young man with black hair that is styled in an undercut with bangs hanging on the left side, grayish-blue eyes and thick dark eyebrows.
He has several tattoos on his body:

A maple leaf with a rose flower overlay on his right bicep. The last three lines of the Canadian national anthem written in cursive below. A stylized design with the initials JL in the center of his lower back. His left bicep features a tattoo of his JL initials.

Jean-Jacques tends to run his mouth quite often but is otherwise a very trustworthy person who consistently carries out any promises he makes.
He is also very confident, almost to the point of arrogance. During his short program, he thinks about how he is the only person who can pull off a collaboration with a world-famous band, and how he is the king. [1] He will at times mock other skaters either from just playful teasing or a possible way to throw off their concentration.
Though Jean-Jacques is not above succumbing to pressure, he is shown to be headstrong, quickly recovering from pressure after the Grand Prix Final short program. [2]

Yuri!!! on Ice

Kenjirou is a peach-skinned young boy who is short for his age with choppy, medium-toned blond hair that has red bangs swept to the left side, chestnut eyes, pronounced canine teeth and he has a petite build.
He is normally seen in a Japanese school uniform out of the rink. The outfit for his short program during the regional championships was mainly hidden under his sports jacket. For his free skate, he wears a white shirt, a red tie and a yellow vest.

Kenjirou has a bright and innocent (if not naïve at times) personality. He is very supportive of Yuuri Katsuki and his opponents during their FS program performances and is shown to be eager to try new things, such as wanting to try performing a quad even though he has never landed one before. He is also very energetic and can get nervous in stressful circumstances, as seen when he is about to perform his FS program. [1]
Kenjirou treats Yuuri as his idol and strives to be just like him, taking every gesture from him to heart. He has a habit of letting his emotions get the best of him, especially when he is happy or in the presence of someone he looks up to. [1]


Yuri!!! on Ice

While Ketty's face has not been shown, Ketty has shoulder-length dark curly hair and tan skin. Her fingernails are painted red.

Not much is shown of Ketty's personality, but she was kind enough to write Yuuri's free skate music for him twice, and let Yuuri keep the piece he did not use. Ketty bears no ill-feelings towards Yuuri for not having used the first piece.


Yuri!!! on Ice

Leo is a tan-skinned young man with medium-length brown hair that he usually parts his hair in the center (he ties it back during competitions), brown eyes and thick eyebrows.

Leo treasures his friends greatly and is always thinking of them while performing. He tries to enjoy all of his competitions as much as possible.
Leo is very creative and choreographs most of his programs, which overflow with originality. He is willing to change his programs to adapt to a competition. [3] Leo looks up to Victor as a skater who also does his own choreography. [4]


Yuri!!! on Ice

Lilia has dark hair that is styled into a tight bun and sharp, lime-green eyes. She usually puts on moderately heavy makeup that enhances her notably high cheekbones. Lilia is tall with a lean frame and has a very straight posture, indicative of her career as a ballerina. She is often seen wearing a yellow thigh-length puffer coat with fur trim.

Lilia is first shown to be a stern and strict woman. She is very opinionated on how things should be, especially when it comes to her dance students.
Later on, a motherly side of her emerges, especially during Yuri's free skates, where she always cries with pride when Yuri performs well. Lilia also eats pirozhki with the younger skater when he stays at her house [2] and does up his hair for his free skate performances. [3]


Yuri!!! on Ice

When working in Yu-topia Katsuki , she wears a red ochre samue and a burgundy apron with her name tag on it.

Mari is shown to mostly have a laid-back personality, only entering the vicinity when necessary. However, upon seeing Yuri Plisetsky for the first time, she becomes excited as he supposedly looks just like her favorite band member Takao .
Though she usually seems disinterested in what goes on around her, she is supportive of Yuuri Katsuki and his skating career.


Yuri!!! on Ice

Michele is a tall tan-skinned young man with short, auburn hair and dark purple eyes.

Michele is very straight-laced and uptight, especially regarding women. He is very chivalrous and feels that it is necessary to protect Sara Crispino 's honor by fending off suitors, which stems from how he would defend her from boys who bullied her when they were children. However, over time his protective feelings towards his sister have become possessive and overly dependent. He is very quick to anger, especially when he thinks a man is trying to get close to his sister.


Yuri!!! on Ice

Mila is a fairly tall and beautiful young woman with wavy chin-length auburn-red hair that hangs on the right side (an undercut starts from slightly above her ear, although the shaved parts are usually hidden by the outer layers of hair [1] ), deep-blue eyes, she often wears pink lip gloss and she is shown to be very strong as she able to lift Yuri Plisetsky above her head, despite her petite frame [2] .
She is usually seen wearing her practice outfit, which consists of a long-sleeved black shirt that bares her midriff, black pants and pink gloves.

Mila is a caring person who pays attention to the well-being of her rink mates. However, she is a force to be reckoned with when provoked as Yuri Plisetsky mentions that Mila had beaten up her ex-boyfriend when she discovered that he was cheating on her [2] .
Mila is fun to be around who has quite a sense of humor and she likes to tease Yuri, but she also makes fun of Georgi Popovich while watching his short program.

Min-so is a middle-aged woman with shoulder-length black hair that ends in curls, dark-brown eyes and thin eyebrows.


Yuri!!! on Ice

She is usually seen wearing a brown trench coat over a blue-gray cardigan and a white blouse, with dark blue skinny jeans and brown ankle boots.

Minako is an energetic and outgoing woman who is often striking ballet poses whenever she gets enthusiastic about something. She insists on manners, discipline, and body management, though she also enjoys alcohol, which contradicts her emphasis on manners and causes her to be quite brash and loud. She tries to keep Yuuri Katsuki motivated as a skater because the number of youth in Hasetsu is declining, putting her job as a ballet teacher in peril.
She is a big fan of figure skating and constantly expresses her attraction towards the male skaters while drunk, especially to Victor Nikiforov and she is also a big fan of Christophe Giacometti 's, cheering for him when he performs and becoming flustered when noticed by him.

Nikolai has two-toned grey and black hair while he has a moustache and a short beard that are also two-toned, he has wrinkles, a stocky build and he stands and walks with a slight hunch due to his weak back. [2]
Nikolai is always seen wearing a flat beret on his head and wearing warm clothing.

Nikolai is a quiet and kind gentleman who does not speak much, preferring to listen to his grandson Yuri Plisetsky talk. He takes up a genuinely loving grandparent role, picking Yuri up from the Sheremetyevo International Airport, making Pirozhki for his grandson, and learns about what Yuri likes.
Nikolai makes an effort to attend competitions in Moscow that Yuri competes in to show his support, showing his dedication towards Yuri.


Yuri!!! on Ice

Otabek has short black hair styled in an undercut, dark brown eyes, he is usually stoic and expressionless (though sometimes he wears a slightly moody expression) and he is relatively short for his age, though in real life this is common for male figure skaters competing in the singles disciple, such as the main cast of the series does.

Otabek is generally stoic and tends to be introverted, preferring to spend time alone rather than with other skaters. While he himself is shy and quiet, his skating is very eloquent and expressive.
On rare occasions, Otabek's kindness reveals itself, such as him rescuing Yuri Plisetsky from the Yuri Angels , clapping when Phichit congratulated Yuri Katsuki and Victor on what he assumed to be their marriage, and during Yuri Plisetsky’s free skate at the Grand Prix Final.


Yuri!!! on Ice

Sara is a beautiful tan-skinned young woman with long, straight black hair that she usually has it down with bangs styled on either side of her face, dark purple eyes and full nude-colored lips.
When Sara performs, her hair is tied into a bun, she wears performance makeup, and white skates. Outside of performances, she is usually seen wearing a dark track suit with Italy printed on the back, sneakers, and an I.D. badge on a lanyard.

Sara is a rather carefree ( free from anxiety or responsibility ) young woman who is indifferent to Michele Crispino 's attempts to keep her away from potential suitors. However, she recognizes that her relationship with her brother is very co-dependent and knows that neither of them will improve as people nor as skaters if this continues. She is supportive of most other skaters and sometimes lightly flirts with the male skaters, much to the disapproval of her brother.
Sara is also easily emotionally moved by the people around her, such as being angry at Seung-gil Lee for being rude to her or crying during Michele's free skate performance [1] [2] .


Yuri!!! on Ice

Satsuki has shoulder-length black hair that is parted on the right, dark-grey eyes and she wears golden dangling earrings on both of her ears.

Seung-gil is a handsome pale-skinned young man of average height with black hair that has bangs hanging on the left side, dark-grey eyes, thick eyebrows and he is often seen with a serious or stoic expression.
His usual outfit consists of a black tracksuit jacket with blue trim, and black pants.

When Seung-gil is not skating, he zones everything out and he is rather air-headed. However, when he steps onto the ice, he becomes relentless and gains a cold-hearted gleam to his eyes that this transformation is part of his appeal to figure skating fans.
Seung-gil is popular as his skating is beautiful. However, he is stoic towards his mostly female fans, as well as other women, like Sara Crispino . He shows a more vulnerable side when he cries after failing to advance to the Grand Prix final [1] .
Seung-gil's programs do not contain any fanservice since he only ever thinks about how to best demonstrate his skills. He is also very calculative, tallying his base and any additional TES instead of fully focusing on his presentation during his short program [2] , and watching Yuuri Katsuki 's free skate with an analytical gaze.


Yuri!!! on Ice

Takeshi has a stocky build with tan skin and short-cut black hair. He has a square jawline, a large nose, small eyes and thick, slanted eyebrows.
He usually wears a black track jacket, black pants and black sneakers.

As a child, Takeshi used to tease Yuuri Katsuki for being overweight, although Yuuko Nishigori was quick to defend Yuuri from his teasing. He did not share the same interest in Victor Nikiforov that Yuuri and Yuuko did.
As an adult, he has a laid-back and benign personality, and often gives Yuuri blunt but practical advice. Though he still sometimes teases Yuuri like he did when they were children, he does so in a more friendly and joking way. He no longer skates seriously, but is still a fan of the sport along with his wife and daughters.


Yuri!!! on Ice

Toshiya wears brown-rimmed glasses and a red bow tie. He also wears a grey shirt with "Yu-topia" written on the lapels and a green waistcoat. He has dark grey hair and usually wears it parted in the center. His eyes are usually closed, though they will occasionally open when he is surprised.

Toshiya is a cheerful individual who likes to make jokes as first seen in Episode 1 . Later on, it is revealed that he becomes rambunctious when drunk, a trait he passed on to Yuuri Katsuki . [1] However, he is a supportive father to Yuuri and warmly welcomed Victor and Yuri when they arrived; partially because he knew their presence would bring more attention and customers to the area.


Yuri!!! on Ice

Victor is a handsome man with short platinum hair that has bangs covering his left eye and light-blue eyes. During competition warm-ups, Victor wears a white and red runner jacket over his costume.
Victor's casual practice outfit consists of a black T-shirt and grey track pants.

Victor is fond of wearing trench coats over his outfits when in cold places. He owns several in various colors, including beige, brown, and slate blue.
As a junior skater, Victor had long, waist-length hair, which he usually wore his hair in a ponytail when skating. His costumes often had both feminine and masculine elements to them.

In Barcelona, Yuuri Katsuki places a golden ring on Victor's right-hand ring finger as a sign of gratitude for everything Victor has done for him, which Victor later suggests to be an engagement ring. After this, Victor is always shown wearing his ring and Yuuri has a matching ring on the same finger of the same hand.

Victor has the captivating kind of celebrity charisma and is naturally flirtatious. His well-known strength is his penchant for breathtaking new creations and surprising his audience. Though he pushes himself and is constantly trying to better his skills, he likes doing things at his own pace and in other areas is generally an easygoing, free-spirited young man who doesn't really take well to orders; Yakov Feltsman yells in exasperation that he never does anything he's told.
Victor's also a bit of an airhead and, according to himself and Yuri Plisetsky , tends to forget a lot of things, as Yuuri Katsuki sees proof of after he forgets what the stakes of the Hot Springs on Ice event were.
He's very self-aware, knowing what he can and can't pull off and exactly what he has to do in order to play best to the audience. This adds to his charisma in that he knows precisely how to charm people with what he has. That said, he's also sensitive about his appearance, even his hairline.
Being a nigh-imperturbable man in perfect control of himself, even when losing his temper, Victor is well-adapted to navigating the positive side of the emotional spectrum. However, he's not very good at managing others' emotional distress, and while he can be serious if he needs to be, he's blunt to the point of being tactless. This makes him a bad person to cry in front of, as he's awkward at best and insensitive at worst.
Even though he mostly exhibits a childlike and almost flippant demeanor, his core does emerge every so often: a wildflower, beautifully soft but determinedly hardy. Though this side of him only gets a peek when he talks to close ones regarding more philosophical topics, it's very at home on the ice.


Yuri!!! on Ice

Yakov has a very severe appearance that makes him seem perpetually angry. He is partially bald, with his remaining gray hair jaw-length and slicked back. To hide his baldness, Yakov usually wears a felt hat. He has a square jaw and a wide build.

As a coach, Yakov is very strict with his skaters. He greatly dislikes it when his instructions are ignored and is quick to lecture his students about their mistakes, a trait that he unintentionally passes on to Victor. [1]
Yakov seems to be a fatherly figure towards Yuri, supporting the young skater in his endeavors, and going out of his way to find a separate coach to train Yuri for his free skate. According to Victor, Yakov would be willing to extend help to Yuuri, if Yuuri were to only hug Yakov.


Yuri!!! on Ice

Yuri Angels are predominantly young females, and are commonly seen wearing cat-eared headbands. Some are seen carrying signs to cheer Yurio.


Yuri!!! on Ice

Yuri has chin-length blond hair that covers the right side of his face, viridian-colored eyes and he is short-statured with a petite frame; because of his appearance, he is nicknamed The Russian Fairy / Fairy of Russia .
His warm-up uniform is either his training outfit or his costume under a black zip-up hoodie with black pants, sneakers, and a zip-up baseball tee styled runner with "Russia" across the chest. His skates have special blades that are said to make it easier to perform jumps. When not in performance costumes or warm-up gear, Yuri loves to wear clothing with mainly big cat prints.

Yuri is a very ambitious boy who is determined to become the best of the best in figure skating. Contrary to his beauty and grace on the ice, once Yuri steps out of the rink he becomes foul-mouthed, rude, and dismissive of others-earning him his second nickname, The Russian Punk . To ensure he gets what he wants, Yuri is not above threatening or intimidating his competition. He is short-tempered and very accustomed to yelling.
Yuri is both very critical of himself and determined to impress Victor Nikiforov . He despises being underestimated and projects a strong air of confidence-strong enough to come across as arrogance, instead. He is prone to seeing other athletes as his rivals, and therefore his enemies. While Yuri has been noted to not take training seriously at first, [4] he can undertake highly rigorous training to do well and does so without complaining. Part of this stems from him being aware of how young and agile he still is as he appears to have not yet had any kind of growth spurt stemming from puberty and wants to take advantage of his youth before his body starts changing.
A softer side to Yuri's personality can be seen when he thinks of his grandfather, [5] and later when he gives Yuuri Katsuki some Pirozhki for his birthday. [6] Yuri also shows this side of him to the few people he regards as friends, most notably Otabek Altin and Yuuko Nishigori .


Yuri!!! on Ice

Yuuko has reddish-brown hair that she wears in a short, messy ponytail with her fringe swept to the right of her head along with two strands of her hair in the front, large chestnut-brown eyes and a short and slender frame.
She is first seen wearing a high-collared white jacket with a hot pink turtle neck sweater underneath. Accompanying these are black shorts with dark leggings, black leg warmers and black/hot pink colored sneakers.
As a young girl, Yuuko's hair was longer and she wore a ribbon to hold up her ponytail.

Yuuko has a very colorful personality and is extremely bubbly. She is also a very supportive person, standing up for Yuuri Katsuki when they were younger, and then encouraging both Yuuri and Yuri to do well. Yuuko is a caring parent, trying her best to properly educate her triplets to sleep early, but her parenting efforts rarely match her intent and she is often frustrated by their behavior.
Yuuko has been very passionate about figure skating ever since she was young. Though she no longer skates competitively herself, her love for the sport is still clearly evident; she is a huge fan of Victor Nikiforov , and her daughters are all named after skating jumps.


Yuri!!! on Ice

Yuuri has short, messy black hair and brown eyes. Yuuri wears half-rimmed blue glasses, but while he is skating, he removes them. He combs his hair backward when performing his programs before a crowd.
Yuuri wore layers of clothing to hide his weight gain from binge eating. His warm-up outfit is usually a jacket and black pants with a stripe down the side. He wears gloves while skating and uses skates with standard blades.
Yuuri gains weight easily, but when he is in top form, he also has slight muscle due to his exercise and ice skating. Nonetheless, his body, especially his face, maintains a soft appearance, regardless of physical form.
Following Yuuri's presumed engagement to Victor Nikiforov while in Spain, he wears a gold ring on the ring finger of his right hand. Victor has a matching ring worn on the same hand and the same finger. [1]

Yuuri is known to be "the figure skater with the world's biggest glass heart." He is soft-hearted and easily devastated in the face of failure; so much so that he can slip into a depression for months at a time. He is a kind, quiet, and easily embarrassed boy, but he is also shown to be stubborn and extremely competitive.
After being taken under Victor Nikiforov 's wing as a student, Yuuri begins to steadily develop more confidence in himself. He becomes determined to chase his dreams, and even brushes off most of Yuri Plisetsky 's attempts to insult or humiliate him. [2] However, he still becomes easily discouraged and anxious and doesn't know how to deal with being the person to beat. [3] [4]
During competitions, he tends to be a bit colder and more self-centered due to his anxiety and competitive nature but is learning to pay more attention to those around him thanks to Victor.

Potya is officially described as a black and white cat. [1] However, it is more likely that Potya has a seal-point coloration, which is very deep brown markings on a cream coat. Potya's eyes are blue, while the whiskers and fur on the insides of the ears are white.
While Potya's breed has not been explicitly stated, it is most likely based on Yulia Lipnitskaya 's cat Chopa, which is known to be a Himalayan breed.
Potya's gender has not been explicitly stated.


Zaregoto

Akane has straight black hair, and is tall for a woman with a slender body.

Akane was raised outside of Japan, so she is bad at yojijukugo , but is very proud of her math and English abilities. Has an easy going sense of humor, smokes, and is very anti-feminist. Akane despises painters, considering them worse than thieves and rapists. For this reason, she hates Kanami Ibuki . Akane considers the second smartest person in the ER3 System to be Fraulein Love , and the smartest to be Assistant Professor Hewlett . [1]
