#BOTAN YU YU HAKUSHO DISGUISE SERIES#
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. "He really jumped." Botan said looking in the hole.Yoshihiro Togashi did not give much thought to the names of the characters. "Don't worry I feel like a detective myself and this doesn't scare me." Kuwabara said then jumping through the hole. "Spirit Detectives don't get a choice." Botan said pulling Yusuke back.

"Kuwabara, you can always back out, okay." She said. "You should land safely on the other side if you jump." Botan said. "So, do you have a ladder or a rope?" Yusuke said. "The breach in the barrier should be here somewhere." Botan said then a part of the floor popped up. "What are you doing Botan?" I asked just about annoyed with all the dust surrounding me.

I haven't fought in years and I deserve a good fight!" I said.īotan lead us to a dusty place and dropped to her knees and started pounding the floor boards. "It's not going to be that easy Yuka." Botan said. "Well, then let's go break that whistle." I said. They were given the title Saint from their followers." Botan said. "The Four Saint Beasts are strong demons from the City of Ghosts and Apparitions. "Botan, what's a Saint Beast anyway?" Yusuke asked. "This is no time for fighting you two! If we don't get that whistle from the Four Saint Beasts everyone will be turned into zombies." Botan said. "Hey!!! Are you trying to pick a fight?" Yusuke asked looking angrily at me. "You idiot!! Do you want all your friends to die?" I yelled clenching my fist. Then I punched him in the back of his head. "Okay, Botan! You can stop right there! I just got back for Grandma's evil boot camp today and I deserve a vacation!" Yusuke said putting his back to us. "I'm quite certain he's a spy from the people that you and Yuka will be going against for your next mission." Botan said. "He looks like he grew up to a nuclear plant." Yusuke said looking at the demon. Anyways, I've been shadowing that one since it slipped through the barrier two days ago." Botan said. "Botan, who's the girl?" The guy in the green uniform asked. "Hello?!?!?" I said waving my hands in the air. "Hey! It's the pretty girl! Have you thought about me?" The one in a blue uniform said. "Botan?!?" The one in a green uniform said. Two guys rounded the corner and looked at me and Botan. "Watch out Botan." I said rounding the corner and punching a demon that was running this way. Then Botan landed and we rounded a corner."Why are we here?" I asked Botan. Koenma always thought I was crazy." I said. "Now Yuka, Koenma said that you can't go crazy." Botan said. Here I was on Botan's oar with her to get a surprise mission with this Yusuke guy.
