However, while doing so it is revealed that Yusuke has a particularly strong aura, or spirit energy, and Koenma recruits him as Underworld Detective. Such an altruistic deed catches even the Underworld ("Spirit World" in the English anime) by surprise, and because they do not have a place for him yet in heaven or hell, he is permitted to return to his body and resume his life. This all changes rather abruptly when Yusuke is struck and killed by a car while saving a small child who has wandered into the road. His poor school attendance, constant fighting and bad habits have earned him the fear of his classmates and the disdain of his teachers and neighbors. Yusuke Urameshi ( 浦飯 幽助, Urameshi Yūsuke) is a fourteen-year-old delinquent who attends Sarayashiki Junior High School. Portrayed by: Tsubasa Sakiyama (stage play), Takumi Kitamura ( TV drama) Protagonists Yusuke Urameshi Voiced by: Nozomu Sasaki (Japanese) Justin Cook (TV series and first film Funimation dubs), Darren Pleavin (TV series Animax Asia dub), Rik Nagel ( second film Central Park Media dub), Jonathan Fahn (first film Anime Works dub as "Jonathan Charles") (English) Īfter receiving a lot of letters both praising and criticizing the voice actors, Togashi clarified that he had no involvement in the anime adaptation. Togashi's inspiration for the character Mukuro was Kushana of Torumekia from Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. The names of the characters Roto and Rinku are taken from video game characters of the same names, the former from Dragon Quest and the latter from The Legend of Zelda. The names of Yusuke's school Sarayashiki and the rival Kasanegafuchi Junior High are both named after haunted mansions in famous ghost stories Banchō Sarayashiki and Kaidan Kasanegafuchi. Kitayama finds Kurama to be the easiest of the main characters to design due to his well-proportioned features and considers Hiei to be her favorite. Togashi based Hiei's design off of the character Skunky from the manga series Patalliro! by Mineo Maya. When the two were introduced, the author had early plans to make Kurama a main character but was uncertain about Hiei. Kurama and Hiei's names came to Togashi on the spur of the moment. Mari Kitayama, a lead character designer for the anime adaptation of Yu Yu Hakusho, stated that she considers Kuwabara to be the most difficult character to design. Viz Media said that it is also a pun on " Kuwabara kuwabara", a phrase uttered by superstitious people when they are scared. Togashi came up with Kazuma Kuwabara's name by combining the names of two professional baseball players ( Masumi Kuwata and Kazuhiro Kiyohara). The author said the name Yusuke Urameshi is "practically a joke." Viz Media explained that the "Yu" is written with the kanji for "ghost", and "Urameshiii." is a phrase typically said by wailing ghosts. He came up with them by skimming through a dictionary and combining kanji characters he found appealing. "I am happy to share the masterpiece of Yu Yu Hakusho with the world and I hope we can create something people everywhere will enjoy." Yu Yu Hakusho will be Netflix's latest live-action anime adaptation, following on from Cowboy Bebop and One Piece.Yoshihiro Togashi did not give much thought to the names of the characters. "The original work is a universal and unique masterpiece and a reason why Japan is so proud of its strong manga and anime culture," Kitamura said at the time. Kitamura told IGN last year that he's proud to be part of a live-action production of the anime that made Japan the manga and anime capital of the world. The main protagonist, Yusuke Urameshi, will be played by Takumi Kitamura, who played Takemichi Hanagaki in the live-action film adaptation of Tokyo Revengers.
