Yu Yu Hakusho is an anime series created from the manga authored from Mr. Yoshishiro Togashi. Togashi, a former follower of well-known manga artist Mr. Rumiko Takahashi who made illustrious creations like his success, Ranma ?, made the YYH series because of the inspiration from his mentor. His first crafts were mainly adult-oriented with twists of demons and the like. To provide the vast audience with his works, he decided to create Yu Yu Hakusho, a "wholesome" creation that still centered around his fantasy, the world of demons. Manga readers quickly turned down his work when the main character had his demise at the beginning of the story, but when he added the twists of the spirit world, demon world and such, the manga went on to become one of the greatest ever made. In turn, the manga developed into one of the popular animes around.
