Media Manga Main article: List of YuYu Hakusho chapters He comments that he could have used 'Den (Legend)' or 'Monogatari (Story)', but 'Hakusho (Report)' was the first thing that came to his mind. Because a series with a similar name ( Chin-Yu-Ki) had already begun publication, Togashi quickly created an alternative: 'YuYu Hakusho'.

Once given the go-ahead to begin publication, Togashi proposed 'YuYu-Ki (Poltergeist Chronicles)' for the title, as there would be battles with demons and it would be a play on SaiYu-Ki. When presenting rough drafts to his editors he used the tentative title 'How to be a Ghost'. When first creating the series, Togashi did not have a clear idea of what he wanted to call it. Togashi said that he began working on YuYu Hakusho during a period around November 1990 Togashi said that he forgot the exact time. He comes into spiritual abilities of his own and enlists the help of numerous friends from Spirit World, Demon World, and Human World to aid him in his cases as they fight off demons and humans seeking to rule over all three worlds.Ĭharacters Main article: List of YuYu Hakusho charactersĪlso, see list of YuYu Hakusho Voice Actors (Japanese) Production His act of heroism, therefore, was 'a complete & utter waste.'
