Youko Kurama / Minamino Shuuichi (Yu Yu Hakusho)

 

Looks: This guy is definitely a Bishounen. From his gorgeous red hair to his sparkling emerald eyes of his human form, he can definitely make any girl (or guy) drool. Problem is. His human form is so feminine looking that people mistake him for a girl at first glance. He also has his youko persona. Youko Kurama is a more mature-looking bishounen. You’ll faint (or turn green with envy) at his beautiful silver hair and his pale features that look like they’ve been carved from the finest kind of marble.

 

Smarts: Judging from his records in school. Kurama is at the top of his sophomore class and lots of clubs are trying to recruit him because of his popularity with girls. In his previous life as a demon, he was the leader of a gang of thieves. He always thinks before he acts, thus making every heist a successful one. As one of the Reikai tantei or in English, the spirit detectives, Kurama is the strategist of the group. Always calm and composed, this hunk always managed to pull his friends out of trouble a number of times.

 

Personality: Given the name ‘Kitsune’ or fox, you can imagine how clever and conniving this guy is. Though he doesn’t show it much. Kurama is hard working and trust-worthy. He has a sense of humor but in the middle of a battle he is dead serious and doesn’t convey any emotion, unless of course you try to kill his mother. He smiles a lot but the only time that you could see him laugh in the series was the time when the Reikai tantei’s were fighting Sensui together with his best friend, Hiei. Since Kurama has lived for over millennia, he has lots of wisdom that comes in handy at tight situations. He is very protective of his loved ones and will sacrifice his life for them if needed.

 

Cooking/Home Economics: Seeing as he took care of his human mother when she was ill, you can guarantee that this guy is a great cook and this will come in handy in case of a romantic dinner for the two of you.

 

Fighting Skills: This guy is a very skilled fighter. He can control plants and his favorite weapon is a rose that he turns into a deadly whip. He is adept in martial arts and this can help him whenever his energy is low and he can’t conjure weapons out of plants anymore. He does have a lot of speed but not as fast as Hiei and specializes in long-range combats. Whenever he fights, the air around him always smells good because he uses roses and it can help him to locate enemies that don’t smell so good.

 

Special Abilities: As I mentioned before, his ability to control plants. And, he can change from his human form to his demon form. Maybe his being incredibly gorgeous is considered ability too?

 

Competition: One word. Hiei. Kurama is the only one who earned Hiei’s trust and he is the only one who can tease Hiei without getting his head chopped off. This two is the subject of many yaoi fics on the net and although I must admit I am one those who write them, I am still writing this, and for other people who want to snag this fox. It will be a hard mission ‘coz Kurama cares for his little fire demon too much to look for a girlfriend.

 

In-Laws: Aside from his human mother, Shiori, and his stepfather Hanataka-san and Shuuichi-kun. There are no other relatives mentioned from his demon life.

 

Economics: Kurama has a promising job in his stepfather’s company so there won’t be any problems in the money department. Maybe he’ll make so much money that you’ll be having a shopping spree every week.

 

Sex: Kurama is a demon that has lived for a thousand years right? So, he’s bound to have lots of lovers. He can be very experienced in that department and maybe show you a few tricks once in a while ne? ‘Nuff said. Kurama is definitely a sex god.

 

Overall: You can almost say that Kurama is a perfect guy. You can rely on him and he’s a very exciting lover. So, grab your pitchforks and help me hunt this guy down!
