Kuwabara
Kazuma Kuwabara (Kuwabara Kazuma) is a student who attends the fictional Sarayashiki Junior High School.
He is noted as the "second toughest punk at Sarayashiki", despite his unusual affinity for kittens.
He is constantly picking fights with Yusuke to prove himself tougher, but never succeeding.
Eventually Kuwabara's feelings of anger toward Yusuke become feelings of respect.
Kuwabara has a very advanced sixth sense, though not as acute as his older sister Shizuru's.
Yusuke uses this to his advantage in his attempt to return to life.
Kuwabara ends up assisting in most of Yusuke's cases, gaining power over his own aura which he wields as a sword called the Aura Sword (Rei Ken) ("Spirit Sword" in the English anime dub), though compared to Hiei, Kuwabara's swordsmanship is clumsy and more predictable due to the lack of swordsman training.
He learns to develop this power rather quickly as well, later being able to wield two at once and creating an extremely powerful sword using the Sword of Trials he got from Suzuki.
Kuwabara also obtains the Dimensional Sword (Jigen To-, lit. "Dimension Blade") during the Chapter Black arc, a sleeker and cleaner spirit sword that possesses the ability to slice and cut through and between dimensions.
During an early case he meets the ice apparition Yukina and instantly falls in love.
Yukina is very appreciative to Kuwabara for saving her from captivity, but is oblivious to his affection.
As the story progresses Kuwabara becomes more engrossed in his studies, choosing to cram for his high school exams rather than follow Yusuke and the others into the Demon plane, although he still chooses to do so out of curiosity and being felt as if he were left behind.
At the end of the manga series it is shown that Yukina is living with his family as a homestay.
In the anime television series, Kuwabara is voiced by Shigeru Chiba in Japanese and Christopher Sabat in English.
In the English dubs of the movies he is voiced by Lex Lang in Yu Yu Hakusho: The Movie and by Cliff Lazenby in Yu Yu Hakusho the Movie: Poltergeist Report.
In the latter his name is changed to "Kuwahara".
Togashi came up with the character's name by combining the names of two professional baseball players.
Mari Kitayama, a lead character designer for the anime adaptation, has stated that she considers Kuwabara to be the most difficult character to design.
His character name was "Alfred" when the series was aired in the Philippines.
