  Youko Kurama
Family and background:
Youko's closest friend and companion was Kuronue who died during one of their robberies in Makai. Kurama is still quite upset about his best friend's death, the feeling which the enemies of the second YYH movie took advantage of.

Kurama was also the leader of a group of thieves, his second mate was Yomi who would later become one of the three most powerful youkai in Makai, but Yomi was a ruthless and brainless fighter who didn't want to listen to the much smarter Kurama. When Yomi ran his own group of thieves and let many loyal followers die by acting on instinct instead of thoughts, Kurama sent an assassin to kill him, but this assassin failed and only blinded him, which he probably regretted, because the later so powerful Yomi tortured him until the day he died.

Just as the human form of Kurama, he has the ability to control plants and to evoke makai plants (much easier though). Youko Kurama is much stronger than his human form. His white clothes are not just ordinary clothes, they are materialized youki and have defensive purposes, just like Sensui's.

Special features:
His long silver hair, fox ears, fox tail, white youki and icy glare.

Personality:
Youko Kurama is a ruthless killer and also an extremely intelligent strategist. In Makai the youkai still fear him.







Family and background:
When he was chased by a Rei kai Hunter and got injured, Kurama (in his fox form) fled to Ningenkai and his spirit combined with that of the unborn baby of Shiori Minamino. Later he was born as Shuichi Minamino, his human mother loved him with all her heart and taught the once so cold hearted Kurama what human love is. Kurama who actually wanted to return to Makai as soon as he regained his powers learned how to love and to care and found himself unable to leave his mother. So he stayed to take care of her. When she got sick and couldn't be treated he decided to join Hiei and Gouki to steal the three Rei kai artifacts to save her life. And so he met Yusuke, who saved his life as he wanted to sacrifice his own life to save his mother's. At the end Shuichi lives with his mother, stepfather and little brother.

Kurama and Hiei met each other when Kurama was in junior high. You may not believe it but Kurama had short hair! Although Hiei probably will never admit, they are close friends, know a lot about each other and even understand each other.

He has the ability to control plants and to evoke makai plants. He also can make lethal weapons out of plants. He has many special techniques, like the Rose Thorn Whip and the Attack with Flowers in the Wind. A minor detail: he can also read someone's lips.

Special features:
His long red hair, his big green eyes, his elegance and his intelligence... For some reason people mistake him for a girl.

Personality:
He is a very nice person who smiles a lot, but nobody can tell who and what is behind this smiling face. Kurama is an extremely intelligent person, he thinks even a few steps more ahead than a normal person and will never let others know what he is thinking.. Even in the most difficult situations he manages to stay calm and think about the best solution. He will transform into Youko whenever he is in great danger and when he gets mad.
