10 Things You Probably Didn't Know About Kurama From Yu Yu Hakusho! (10 Facts) | Yoko Kurama

[@katlynwebb8474]

Kurama was my first anime crush as a kid considering he wasn't your typical demon as being blood thirsty but compassionate is what really drew me to him.

[@user-issassy]

No 11: Kurama was everyone's husbando during the 90s 😂😂😂

[@Jolynesimpnumber4]

Everyone knows that tho

[@soulsounds4318]

Correct 😂

Kurama made me realize that I had a thing for the 'seemingly gently but absolutely menacing if you cross them' characters (Kurapika too)

[@nadokabunny]

Me too😂 Something about the “looks like a cinnamon roll, could actually kill you” type that I’m obsessed with💚❤️

[@laurielangel6626]

Ayyy me tooo

[@kingMadnus]

Both Yusuke and Hiei have gone on a record and said they want no smoke with kurama

[@OmAcC650]

Prayers up for Togashi to get well 🙏 Man has created some iconic characters, and not just from 1 series, but 2! And Kurama is 1 of his greatest. Lowkey always had felt bad that he is not recognized as a more prominent plant based fighter.

[@alwaysapirateroninace443]

I'm so surprised he struggled writing fight scenes, because those are always the standouts for me. And the comedy.

[@killerdude666]

When I was younger I had a crush on kurama

[@SpammytheHedgehog]

Fun fact: Hiei stated that Kurama is more deadly than him.

[@EchoDragonHawk]

He may have stated that but he’s not tho..hiei is superior lol

[@ianesgrecia8568]

@@EchoDragonHawk yeah.... only not. Hiei himself knows what would happend if Kurama really wanted to go berserk. It's always the quiet ones you have to be afraid

[@JacobFury]

Hiei is very honest

[@0333aaa]

I remember him saying he was more ruthless. Commonly it's a translation inconsistency so I don't take vague statements too seriously.

[@bushidokori]

Hiei is right, kurama is hard to read , he's secretive in his next move and he's very powerful if he's able to use his full power. A human body has its limits. But if hiei and yoko were to fight at full power hiei would be demolished

[@kyleisreal_tv]

Fun Fact Kurama mite be the smartest character in the manga. Great video nice seeing love for this 90s classic

[@SpiritKitten]

To be fair, his uniform is NOT pink. It's magenta!! That's not pink. Also, Kurama is not the strongest physically, but he is always 5 steps ahead of his opponent and his hair is a nest of all sorts of seeds and plants that are just waiting to be manipulated into a deadly weapon There is a reason why Hiei says he chose Kurama as his partner, to avoid fighting him himself. Moral of the story: Always stay on Kurama's good side

[@zaberfang]

Onore Dickaido!!!

[@YgnnacuiTV]

it's actually fuchsia.

[@SpammytheHedgehog]

Kurama is that nice guy that you don't want to cross.

[@KipC-Sway]

This is my favorite character from this series ever since seeing this on Toonami as a kid.

[@geeky-wolf-arts]

4:55 XD Accuracy! The closest we got Kurama shirtless is at the Poltergeist report movie.

[@DeathKnightDave]

Kurama became my favorite character since the first time I heard Hiei say the only reason he wanted Kurama on his team was because he didn't want to have to fight him.

[@kevindragon3883]

Kurama and, by extension, Yoko Kurama has been my favorite for the longest time.

I’ve been in love with Kurama for 30 years. We are all same destiny friends!

[@dragoncross42]

These were some nice facts that gave me a look into Kurama and the Yu Yu Hakusho series. Maybe a 10 facts about Kuwabara would be cool to see one day.

[@arwindrasutapa1243]

That's what I'm about to request. Kuwabara is my favourite character in Yu Yu Hakusho. He's the normal human among the other but with high spiritual energy 😂😂

[@phloriaernas2149]

People usually mistook Kurama for a girl because of his beauty. This happens more often than he like and in the manga he almost got into a fight because of this.

[@kof3017]

Which fight?😂

[@SpammytheHedgehog]

Kurama was the first Wood Style user before Hashirama. Lol

[@jesseturay1421]

WOW! I must say, as a fan since I was a young teen--(now early 30's) this is one of the best video's I've seen on Kurama EVER!! I actually learned something in it! So thank you~ :O I never got the manga in hand much, so those votes of popularity were something I never heard of!! Even thought I wasn't surprised to hear that Kurama vs. Karasu was the most popular lol! That's pretty clear in FanFic haven. Also, I have ALWAYS thought that Kurama is potentially the strongest character of the show behind Yusuke. The show depicts Yusuke as the strongest, but knowing Kurama I always knew he could beat him. So to me, he's always been thee strongest character. He has it all to be. LOVED this video! Well done! And he's been my favorite from day one of getting to know him. I've never been able to get over this one character--even after moving on from so many anime's and other amazing characters. Kurama has always stayed. He truly is the best!

[@Aino171]

I'm 30 too and Kurama still lives rent-free in my head after all these years lol ! There will never be a character quite as good as him for me. I think Togashi must have women figured out to a tee because he somehow created the most desirable male character to ever grace anime/ manga, from a female perspective (although I do know Kurama's fans are not only female). He's the perfect gentleman, intelligent, mature, sweet without losing an ounce of masculinity (he's strong, of course, but also gotta love that merciless side of him when when he needs to protect someone dear to him or when someone steps on his nerves hehe).

[@jesseturay1421]

@@Aino171 yes yes yes to all!!! I have yet to find a character to top him!! 👹🫶🏼💕 And he’s so masculine but wonderfully confident in himself, and his own beautiful. Insane! Togashi did insanely well-I totally agree with you!! 🌸🌺💕

[@gabrielhughes8221]

Yoko kurama is really 1,000 years old. And he supposedly be an deity. However the creator didn't wont kurama to have all the spotlight and be over powerful. Since he was already got very popular during the show. So the creator alter kurama origin like 2 or 3 times. Just like the stories never stated kurama to know the two kings . But he did know both king's in fact he was apart of their team at one point. Anyways kurama is a very interesting character that his origin should've show up more. Having a dark past living his life through chaos & shadows at tye time of the Demon Realm/ World was know as to be like Hell. It was know to be as the Japanese version of hell. Having one ruler perhaps it was Satan or Devil. The pure hatred and evil amongst all the Demons Race. But the creator didn't want to be the same as Devilman origin stories. Thats why he keep Satan & Devil's outta this series.

[@boredom120]

"Kurama was never shirtless" Kurama has a naked standing in water scene from a YYH movie.

[@goodwillhumping7331]

out of all the main characters, i believe kurama is the deadliest. yusuke has the most youki but he''s basically brute force. hiei is the fastest and packs a lot of literal firepower but kurama has so many ways to murder you. you're probably already dead and you don't know it. his intelligence is legendary but it's his vast array of skills and abilities that truly makes him lethal.

[@togelz]

Angering Hiei you will be dead before you realize Angering Kurama you will be begging for death

[@Misterfantastic1995]

Yoko kurama, a legendary bandit from the spirit realm. Yes he’s the smartest and strongest around.

[@clarkkentnaruto4322]

I have to admit it, that from the first time that I saw him, I have had a major crush on Kurama. Botan is hilarious too.

[@antinapay]

Weird fact in the Philippines: Kurama is called Dennis. The other members also have Americanized names such as Eugene, Vincent, Alfred, Boss Jericho, and Master Jeremiah.

[@goodwillhumping7331]

nakalimutan mo sina jenny, charlene, mikaela, susie at victoria hahahaha. btw, they also though genkai was an old dude

[@kfavis0210]

It’s funny how the Philippines version… they thought Kurama was a girl and they thought Genkai(Jeremiah) was a man

[@Norinia]

@@kfavis0210Yep. His name was actually Denise, but they tried the old timey trick of gaslighting the audience when they found out they were wrong. “Wuut? Noooo, we never did that…. It’s not Denise, it’s , um, DENNIS! Yes! YOU heard wrong, you’re the stupid audience, nope we’re not wrong, we’d never do something so stupid as screw up someone’s gender out of a stupid bias like long hair haha 😅” Oh yeah, I remember Hiei was Eugene, Yusuke was Vincent, and Kuwabara was Alfred, in case anyone was wondering, Really wonder why they felt they had to alter everyone’s name in such bizarre fashions. It makes the USA ‘Jelly Donut’ nonsense seem pale in comparison lol.

[@Lillyxyslushie]

​​@@Noriniau mean Yusuke was Eugene and Hiei was Vincent 😊

[@darthfear7280]

​@@Noriniabecause anime back then in the Philippines was in its early stage so they want to sell the characters to the kids by using easy to remember American names...

[@c.galindo9639]

Awesome. Yu Yu Hakusho is amongst my top 10 favorite anime and manga. Kuwabara is my most favorite character and Kurama second so this was an excellent video to view

[@desupair]

This anime is one of the few that I reallt enjoyed watching in the English dubs during the golden age of the 1990's and early 2000's. Every Kurama fight in the Dark Tournament is my fave. Scariest is VS Gourmet/Elder Toguro. Most entertaining fight is the battle of wits between him and Kaito with his power of taboo. It was well translated/localized to English.

[@jayt9608]

I think that is Kurama at his most frighteningly angry. Killing Gamemaster really was messing with his head, and he was NOT going to waste time playing games with either Gormet or Elder Toguro, as is seen by him planting the seed of the Sinning Tree in Gormet's body when he removed the top of his head. Every other fight he had given other a fairly square deal, but deals were off the table by that point.

[@sleeplesssongbird7625]

I'm sorry, *WHAT.* 🤯 This is the first I'm hearing of a LIVE ACTION YYH. :D This just made my day!

[@LotusStitchandSketch]

Kurama and Hiei are DEF the 2 strongest in the series for the simple reason that it takes A LOT to piss them off enough to turn them homicidal, but once you DO IT you're a dead person walking. period.

[@rayhayes7701]

An additional fact about Jun Shison. He was a Super Sentai actor in the 2013-14 series Ressha Sentai Toquger where he played the seasons Red ranger

[@SpammytheHedgehog]

Let's be real. Where would we be if Yu Yu Hakusho didn't exist?

[@Norinia]

I just wish they had done the show Justice with the live action. I was waving back and forth between seeing it, then I found out they dumped the season 3 plot all over season 1, meaning it’s just going to be Dragon Ball Evolution nonsense all over again. And they’ll blame us, the fans, saying “DuR hUr SeE? wE tOlD yOu No OnE wAnTeD mOrE yU yU hAkUshO!!!”

[@FlyingShadow11]

Kurama is easily the strongest out of the group. He can plant and seed in you and you would never even know it

[@EchoDragonHawk]

False Hiei and urameshi are stronger then he is lol

[@dynastygirl2912]

​@@EchoDragonHawk you are completely wrong. Unlike you I've read the manga, Kurama is intentionally restraining his power. He's using 1/10 of his overall power because using even 11% can destroy the Earth. There's a line that if he wanted to go all out he would have to take his opponent to an entire different dimension because his full power can implode the galaxy. That's IN THE MANGA bro

[@TheDemonPrince]

​@@dynastygirl2912 That is literally not in the manga and you're talking out of your ass.

[@yivelihumekaa9523]

Maybe he is the strongest, beacuse he is the smartest. It's usually brains over brawns when it comes to difficult battles. 😅🧠🤯💪

[@smoothcriminal7232]

Kurama indeed is the strongest.. First, he's the one who ultimately defeats the immortal Toguro.. Second, even the super yokai Yomi who defeated the super hybrid yokai Yusuke admits that Kurama is the fiercest monster he ever know

[@SpammytheHedgehog]

Kurapika from Hunter x Hunter was partially inspired by Kurama from Yu Yu Hakusho.

[@lucas-prado]

Gon - Yusuke Killua - Hiei Kurama - Kurapika Leorio - Kwuabara

[@halcy9286]

Great video, thank you! I really enjoyed it. Very interesting that Togashi's previous manga prior to Yu Yu Hakusho had been romantic comedy! I think his experience with that added to the richness of the story in YYH. I love the comedy and romance elements in it. The characters are so much more fun and relateable. It all comes together to create a story and characters you really care about and that sparks the interest and imagination.

[@beangobernador]

years later and this character aged like wine. I was watching the live action and wondered how it looked drawn. Everything about him is perfect and he is by far the best character in the show. I only like the show because of Kurama, nothing else

So is Kurama really just over 300 years old? or over a Thousand? Yomi mentions a thousand years since he and Kurama last saw each other

[@luckimonster2298]

[@caiocgonzales]

His true power was never truly explored. I'm quite sure the Makai had some more terrifying plants besides the Bloodsucker and the infamous Sinning Tree. Also, if he can turn touch-me-nots into alien bloodthirsty assassins and cedar pollen into massive destruction plagues, there's no telling what he can do with some other plants on Earth which are naturally more dangerous.

[@lightsoulja]

Raizen was the strongest. Only thing that was holding him back was his hunger.

[@afrothekobold]

Kurama is my favorite character in the show! I'm pretty sure he's the reason I tend to gravitate towards "the smart guy" in the group. As for is he the strongest, at some point probably, by the end I think that Yusuke is stronger, Hiei might be about even with him? It's kinda hard to tell since Kurama/Yoko is more tactical and has a larger tool set then Hiei, who tends to be more straight forward with his powers and combat style.

[@sugaryradio.]

2:02 THE ROSE OF VERSAILLES MENTIONED? 🗣️

[@CrownMe13]

My favorite character in all of anime

[@mikecronis]

My opinion is that Kurama is a transgender female as noted in the last episode with the teenage girls who admit this, and when Yoko as male. Kurama turned his/her back on that persona of being "male", not wanting to revert to that version of self as a transition of personality throughout the story intentionally. I believe Kurama was always in love with Heie and flirts with Kurabara distantly, though accepts his Hiei's new loving relationship with Mukuro sadly. If you understand the dialogue inflection of the Japanese version, it's fairly apparent, then just right up-front on the last 10 minutes of the series. I lived in Japan for many years at the time of showing and being transgender was fairly unacceptable and taboo. Kurama knows sadly that there will be obvious romantic rejection to that choice, but is happy to be accepted at least, as a friend. I've seen this happen a lot in the '90s in Japan with real people as well.

[@kevinstotomas-cf4zu]

So, if Kurama bonded with the baby in her mother's womb (technically possessing him), does that mean that he (the baby) has 2 souls in him?

[@dhenderson319]

I do get confused at times if there is a split personality or if they’re supposed to be the same person, because you and Kurama are both smart. And kurama knows everything you knows. He knows yoku’s past and his friends. But when he switches to yoku, yoku talks as if he is separate from kurama. So it seems the share the same consciousness. Idk off togashi got got confused

[@STGAoe]

No. Its explained in the manga that Kurama entered an embryo before it gained a soul. So no he doesn’t have two souls. Its just him.

[@animelover6195]

Ive discussed this with a friend. He is the most powerful BUT for some reason also likes getting injured. Masochism?

[@kfavis0210]

Growing up my cousins who I watched this with, all agreed that Hiei was the strongest character cuz of his speed and precision…. But I’ve always disagreed with them and made fun of me and Kurama because you know….. “GAAAAAAY” (but my cousins are all grown now and they love me for being one 💁🏽‍♀️)….. although they’ve been proven wrong about Kurama when hiei himself confirmed that he himself wouldn’t wanna go against a yokai like Kurama 💁🏽‍♀️….. thank you for making this video! Truly appreciate it! 😃

Gourmet can read minds. But the moment he couldn't read Kurama's mind was only because Kurama got into his basic instinct, which is to kill.
