Hiei
Hiei is a male fire demon born to a race of female Ice Maidens.
The Ice Maidens reproduce every 100 years asexually, always giving birth to a female.
A male child is born only if the Maiden has had sexual contact with a male, which is forbidden in their society.
Hiei was born as one of the twin children of Hina.
As her children were born, Hina wept two Hirui Seki, tears that Ice Maidens shed after childbirth and crystallize, which were given to the babies.
Hiei was thrown from the floating Ice Domain by Hina's closest friend Rui, to his supposed doom.
He managed to survive, and grew up in the wilderness where he developed a thirst for killing.
The only times he found peace were while looking at his Hirui Seki which his mother shed.
He later decided to find the ice domain in order to take revenge on the women who cast him out.
He loses his Hirui Seki during a battle and, realizing he must now find the stone as well as the Ice Domain, went to the Osteopath Shigure and had a Evil Eye (Jagan) (referred to as the "Jagan Eye" in the English anime dub) implanted in his forehead, which gives him many powers, including hypnosis, telepathy, and clairvoyance or remote viewing.
Even with the Jagan, Hiei cannot find his Hirui Seki, though he easily finds the Ice Maidens' glacier home.
When he gets there, he finds his mother's grave and his lust for revenge fades.
He is told his twin sister has run away and decides to search for her as well.
Hiei is an expert with a Katana and has superhuman speed, due to the environment in which he grew up.
During the Dark Tournament he debuts the technique known as the Black Dragon Hellfire (Jao- Ensatsu Kokuryu-ha, "Tyrant King's Blaze-Murdering Black Dragon Wave") ("Dragon of the Darkness Flame" in the English anime dub), which allows him to summon and control flames from the demon plane.
He eventually masters the technique by consuming the flames, which results in an increase in the user's abilities.
At the end of the manga, he is assigned as one of the guardians of the portals between the human and demons realms.
In the anime television series, Hiei is voiced by Nobuyuki Hiyama in Japanese and Chuck Huber in English.
In the English dubs of the movies he is voiced by Sean Thornton in Yu Yu Hakusho: The Movie and by James Stanley in Yu Yu Hakusho the Movie: Poltergeist Report.
Togashi was not certain as whether or not he wanted to make Hiei a main character when beginning the manga.
Kitayama considers Hiei to be her favorite to design.
Hiei is a popular character among fans of the series.
He was ranked as the first, then second, then third most popular male anime character in the Animage Anime Grand Prix for the consecutive years of 1993, 1994, and 1995.
The Japanese publication Newtype ranked him as the fifth best male anime character of the 1990s.
His character name was "Vincent" when the series was aired in the Philippines.
