Yoko Kurama is a fox demon. He lived in the
Makai as a theif. His second in command, Yomi, later became ne of the three Makai rulers. But Yomi was a ruthless and
brainless fighter who didn't listen to Kurama. When Yomi ran his own group of thieves and let many loyal followers die
by acting on instinct instead of thoughts, Kurama sent an assassin to kill him. This assassin failed, however, and only ended
up blinding him. The assassin would wind up regretting this, as the powerful Yomi tortured him until the day he died.
Kurama was chased by a Rei Kai [Spirit World] person, Kurama (in his fox form) fled to the Ningenkai [Human
World] and his spirit combined with that of the unborn baby of Shiori Minamino . He was later born as Shuuichi
Minamino. His human mother loved him with all her heart and taught the once cold hearted Kurama what human love is. Kurama,
who actually wanted to return to the Makai [Demon World] as soon as he regained his powers, learned how to
love and to care and found himself unable to leave his mother, so he stayed to take care of her. Kurama's mother got sick
and could not be treated, he decided to join Hiei and Gouki to steal the three Rei-kai artifacts to save her
life. The item Kurama got was a mirror called the Forlorn Hope, meaning that if the person wanted their wish granted, they
would have to give up their lives to accomplish this wish, hence the forlorn part of it. Then he met Yusuke who
saved his life when he wanted to sacrifice his own life to save his mother's. In the end, the mirror granted Kurama's wish
and saved his mother's life. He then surrenders to the Rei Kai but is later released to join Yusuke's crew during
the invasion of the Spirit Beasts, maintaining his human form but going by his real name. Kurama is a plant weilder.
He always carries a rose in his hair, his means of creating the deadly Rose Whip. With it, he can invoke attacks like the
Rose Whiplash or the Thorn Wheel. He's also known to use a Death Plant that can kill an enemy by growing inside them. Kurama
occassionally returns to his real form, but is basically trapped in his human body and can only come out with special items
like the Idunn Box or with the Fruit of Past Lives. In his real form, Kurama's power of plants increases significantly, and
the white clothes of his real form are created of demon substance and they have defensive powers like those of Sensui. Also,
he regains his evilness from before his life in the human world, he is very intelligent too!!! In his past,
Kurama's closest friend and companion was Kuronue, who died during one of their robberies in Makai. Kurama is still quite
upset about his best friend's death, and will never forget that day...
