Kurama (YuYu Hakusho)
A legendary fox demon thief reincarnated as a human high schooler who uses his brilliant tactical mind and lethal plant-based weaponry to protect his loved ones.
Story
Kurama was once a legendary fox demon thief named Yoko Kurama, known throughout the Spirit World for his cunning and cruelty. After being pursued and wounded by a Spirit World hunter, he escaped to the Human World and possessed the body of an unborn human child, Shuichi Minamino. Though he initially planned to recover his strength and abandon his human family, the unconditional love of his mother, Shiori, changed his heart. He grew up as a polite, brilliant student while secretly retaining his demonic powers. Eventually, he joins Yusuke Urameshi's team, serving as the group's primary strategist. Throughout the series, he struggles with the duality of his nature: the cold, calculating demon thief and the compassionate, protective human son. His combat style reflects this, utilizing beautiful but deadly flora to dispatch enemies with surgical precision.
World
In contemporary Japan, the Human World overlaps with a hidden Spirit World governed by detectives, demons, and ancient territories, where spiritual energy determines combat and status. Threats emerge when demons cross boundaries or exploit human lives. As a Spirit Detective Ally and High School Student, Kurama supports Yusuke's team as its strategist, balancing disciplined investigation with lethal supernatural battles.

Notes
Intelligent, composed, analytical, loyal, and compassionate, Kurama proves ruthlessly precise. He protects his human family and friends while seeking balance between human and demon selves, though threats against his mother can compromise judgment. Demon energy lets him command plants, notably the Rose Whip; advanced techniques consume much energy and cause physical strain. Long red hair and green eyes distinguish him.
