YuYu Hakusho (幽☆遊☆白書 Yū Yū Hakusho?, or "YYH", lit. "Ghost Files" or "Poltergeist Report"[1]) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Yoshihiro Togashi with an anime adaptation. The name of the series is spelled Yu Yu Hakusho in Funimation's distribution of the anime and YuYu Hakusho in the Viz manga. YuYu Hakusho tells the story of Yusuke Urameshi, a teenage delinquent who is struck and killed by a car while attempting to save a child's life. After a number of tests presented to him by Koenma, the son of the ruler of the afterlife Underworld, Yusuke is revived and appointed the title of "Underworld Detective", with which he must investigate and solve various cases involving demons and apparitions in the Human World.

The manga was originally published in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump. The series consists of 175 chapters collected in 19 tankōbon volumes. In North America, the manga currently runs in Viz's Shonen Jump. The anime, directed by Noriyuki Abe and co-produced by Fuji Television, Yomiko Advertising, and Studio Pierrot, consists of 112 television episodes. The TV series originally aired on Japan's Fuji Television network from October 10, 1992 to January 7, 1995. It was later licensed in North America by Funimation Entertainment in 2001, where it aired on various Cartoon Network blocks including Adult Swim and Toonami. The television series has also been broadcast across Japan, other parts of Asia, and Eastern Europe by the anime satellite television network Animax. The YuYu Hakusho franchise has spawned two animated films, a series of OVAs, drama CDs, video games, and other merchandise.

YuYu Hakusho has been well received since its debut, with the manga selling over 44,000,000 copies in Japan alone and winning the prestigous Shogakukan Manga Award in 1994. The anime series won the Animage Anime Grand Prix prize in 1993 and 1994 and has been voted by various publications as one of the greatest anime of all time.

Plot

Yusuke Urameshi is a street-brawling delinquent attending the fictional Sarayashiki Junior High. His mother Atsuko, an alcoholic, had him at the age of 14 and raised Yusuke as a single mother. He is constantly in trouble in school, when he goes at all, and is targeted by many of the other local delinquents. His only apparent friend is Keiko, a girl who he has known for many years and his eventual love interest.

In an uncharacteristic act of altruism Yusuke is hit by a car and killed, saving a young boy by pushing him out of the way. His ghost is greeted by Botan, a blue haired woman who introduces herself as the pilot of the River Styx, who ferries souls to the underworld where they may be judged for the afterlife. Botan informs Yusuke that his act had caught even the Underworld by surprise and that there was no place made yet for him in either heaven or hell. Thus Koenma, son of the Underworld's ruler, offered Yusuke a chance to return to his body. After returning to life, Koenma hires Yusuke as the Underworld Detective, charging him with investigating supernatural activity within the Human World. Soon Yusuke is off on his first case, retrieving three treasures stolen from the Underworld by three demons: Hiei, Kurama and Goki. Yusuke collects the three treasures with the help of his new technique, the Rei Gun, a shot of aura energy fired mentally from his index finger. He then travels to the mountains in search of the reiki master Genkai. Together with his rival Kuwabara Yusuke fights through a tournament to become the heir to Genkai's techniques, as well as trying to find Rando, a demon who steals the techniques of martial arts masters and kills them. Yusuke defeats Rando in the final round of the tournament and trains with Genkai for several months, gaining more mastery over his aura. He is then sent to Demon city in the underworld where Kuwabara, Kurama and Hiei aid him in defeating the Four Beasts, a quartet of demons attempting to blackmail Koenma into removing the barrier keeping them out of the Human world.

Yusuke's next case sent him on a rescue mission to save Yukina, an Ice Maiden. During the rescue he meets Toguro a human turned into the strongest of demons. Toguro invites Yusuke to the Dark Tournament, an event put on by corrupt rich humans in which teams of demons, and occassionally humans, fight fierce battles for the chance to receive any wish they choose. Team Urameshi, consisting of Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama, Hiei and Genkai (initially disguised as the Masked Fighter), fights through the early rounds to face Team Toguro and come out on top, finding that Team Toguro's owner, Sakyo, was attempting to win prize money in order to create a large hole to the Demon Plane, but with his loss, destroys the tournament arena, killing himself in the process. Yusuke returns home, but has little time to rest as he is challenged to a fight by three teenagers who end up taking him hostage with new superhuman powers. Kuwabara and the others rescue him as they learn that the whole scenario was a test by Genkai. It is revealed that Shinobu Sensui, Yusuke's predecessor as Underworld Detective, has recruited six other powerful beings to help him take over where Sakyo left off, boring a hole to the Demon Plane. Yusuke and his friends fight Sensui's minions one by one making their way to the final fight between the two detectives. Sensui kills Yusuke then retreats into the newly opened portal to Demon World, followed by Kurama, Hiei and Kuwabara. Yusuke is reborn as a partial demon, finding out that his ancestor passed down a recessive gene that would hide until an heir with sufficient power surfaced, when his demonic lineage would be revealed. Yusuke travels to the Demon plane and defeats Sensui, aided by the spirit of his ancestor who takes control of his body to finish the fight.

As they return to Human World, Yusuke is stripped of his detective title as King Enma orders he be captured and executed, afraid his demon blood could cause him to go on a rampage in the human world. Yusuke, unhappy with having been controlled by his ancestor, Raizen, accepts an offer by Raizen's followers to go back to Demon World. It is revealed that Raizen is on the brink of death, a death that would topple the delicate balance of the three ruling powers of the Makai Realm. Hiei and Kurama are summoned by the other two rulers, Mukuro and Yomi, respectively. The three train in the Makai Realm for a year, at which time Raizen dies and Yusuke inherits his territory. Yusuke takes the initiative and proposes a tournament to name the true ruler of the Makai, which is eventually agreed upon by all. The tournament progresses, as Yusuke and Yomi meet in the 2nd elimination round where Yusuke is defeated and knocked unconscious. Yusuke awakes days later to find that the tournament was won by Raizen's old friend Enki. Yusuke stays in the Demon Plane for a while longer, but eventually returns to the Human world to be with Keiko.

Characters

Main article: List of YuYu Hakusho characters
  • Yusuke Urameshi (浦飯 幽助 Urameshi Yūsuke?) - Yusuke is a student at the fictional Sarayashiki Junior High School and has a typical tough guy approach to everything. He becomes the Underworld Detective after he dies and is revived by Keiko's kiss. His main attack is the Rei Gun (Spirit Gun in the English anime) where he can manipulate his aura (spiritual energy) and fire it as a projectile. He learns many techniques and abilities from Genkai. He mainly grows in strength from all of his different battles, because he responds to danger by unleashing his full strength.
  • Kazuma Kuwabara (桑原 和真 Kuwabara Kazuma?) - Kuwabara is the second toughest kid in the school, and resents Yusuke for it. Originally rivals, Yusuke and Kuwabara start a grudging friendship that only strengthens throughout the series. Although human, Kuwabara has high aura sensitivity and is able to manifest a Spirit Sword (Rei Ken?), aura energy manifested and molded into a sword.
  • Kurama (蔵馬 Kurama?), also known as Shuichi Minamino (南野 秀一 Minamino Shūichi?) in his human form, Kurama has the ability to summon and control plants. He was originally the powerful and infamous demon thief, Fox Demon Kurama, Yoko Kurama (妖狐蔵馬 Yōko Kurama?) in the English anime dub. He often wields a whip of thorns, created from a rose, which is said to be sharp enough to cut steel.
  • Hiei (飛影 Hiei?) - A hi yōkai (hi yōkai, lit. "fire demon") who was born of a ice maiden (Korime (氷女 Kōrime?, 氷女) lit. "Ice Woman").[2] He specializes in the Jagan (邪眼術 lit. "Evil Eye"?) skills, as well as swordsmanship, and can move at superhuman speeds. His sister, Yukina, is unaware of their relationship, and Hiei has gone as far as to threaten harm to others to prevent Yukina from realizing that he is actually her brother.
  • Genkai (幻海 Genkai?) - The aged Reiki fighter who rigorously trains Yusuke in the Spirit Light Wave Fist (霊光波動拳 Reikō Hadō Ken?, Spirit Wave in the English anime). Though her manner is often gruff, she cares for Yusuke and the others, and constantly tries to help them grow stronger. In the past, she was feared as one of the most powerful human fighters in both Ningenkai and Makai.

Production

Togashi said that he began working on YuYu Hakusho during a period of time around November 1990 though he forgot the exact time.[3]

When first creating the series, Togashi did not have a clear idea of what he wanted to call it. When presenting rough drafts to his editors he used the tentative title "How to be a Ghost". Once given the go-ahead to begin publication, Togashi proposed "YuYu-Ki (Poltergeist Chronicles)" for the title, as there would be battles with demons and it would be a play on SaiYu-Ki. Because a series with a similar name (Chin-Yu-Ki) had already begun publication, Togashi quickly created an alternative: "YuYu Hakusho". He comments that he could have used "Den (Legend)" or "Monogatari (Story)", but "Hakusho (Report)" was the first thing that came to his mind.[4]
