The Thorough Report
Youko Kurama/Shuichi Minamino

Talk about your split personality!!

I guaran-damn-tee ou that I would NOT watch Yu Yu Hakusho without this red-haired wonder (actually, he has BLACK hair in the manga!! O-O'). In fact, I don't think half of the country's girls would watch Yu Yu Hakusho if not for Kurama. Because he is SOOOOOOOO special, I made a bio for both of his sides!

Poo...the pic ends at the shoulders. >D

Shuichi Minamino:
When the fox Youko Kurama was badly injured after a thwarted theft, he chose to hide inside of the fetus of a pregnant human woman. He was born as the red-haired (or black-haired, if you prefer the manga) Shuichi to the woman Shiori Minamino. The child's father died either before or shortly after the babe's birth. He was forced to wait out until his Spirit Energy could revitalize for over 15 years.
 
But when he was going to escape, his adopted mother became deathly ill. Kurama has a deep love for her and joined up with Hiei and the ogre dude to steal the three holy items from Spirit World. One of them was the Mirror of Darkness, which could grant the user what he/she/it truly desired...but the user usually gives up his/her/its life! Yusuke Urameshi and Kurama worked together and saved Kurama's mother. He know works for Spirit World as an advisor and member of Yusuke's team. Later, his mother marries again and Kurama gains a step-brother...oddly enough, who's name is also Kurama. ^_-'
 
History aside, Kurama is a kind and gentle person...until you decide that you need to piss him off. That's when he whips (pun intended) out his secret weapon; the "Rose Whip". Very cool, and always seems to be followed with dozens of falling petals. *otaku sigh*
 
Why do I like him? Well, other than being cute, he's the sensitive-strong-guy that every girl wants. A guy who'll bring you roses right after he kicks the ass of your stalker ex. That, and the green eyes are a real bonus. ;p

Is that blood or petals? Oh, well, he's hot. *.*

Youko Kurama:
This is the true Kurama, before he was Shuichi. Gorgeous, ain't he? *.* Anyway, he has only appeared once so far when some fat little fisher dude by the name of Ura Urashima uses the Idunn Box on Kurama. Usually,  whoever breathes the mist expelled from the box turns into a baby, but this had a funny reaction on Kurama.
 
If you remember from Shuichi's bio, you'll remember that Kurama was wounded and wound up inside of a human body. Well, when he breathed in the fumes, he went from (this is my guess) from teen to baby..and into Youko Kurama! I REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEALLY want to see him again!!! *sobs*
