-->''Now I understand what kind of person you are; it's in my guidebook! Rather than be scared or surprised, you yell a lot and tell me I don't know what I'm talking about.''
->Voiced by: Sanae Miyuki (JP), Creator/CynthiaCranz (EN), Noemí Bayarri (Spain, series and movies), Miriam Guilimany (Spain, first dub of ''Meikai Shito Hen'')
Chief ferry girl across the River Styx, Botan is the perky shinigami sent to retrieve Yusuke's soul after his unexpected death. She initially serves as his guide back to life and becomes his assistant upon his appointment as Spirit Detective.
----
* ActionGirl: Specifically in the Four Saint Beasts storyline, where she easily fends off possessed people with a baseball bat and then attempts to save Keiko.
* CatchPhrase: "Bingo!"
* CatSmile: Would often make this face... in every occasion too.
* CoolBigSis: To the team as a whole.
* DontFearTheReaper: Both in apperance (cute and perky) and in role (guide to the after life)
* GenkiGirl: Her liveliness and general energy is one reason why Yusuke didn't think she was a grim reaper.
* TheGrimReaper: A pleasant Japanese subversion. Yusuke was expecting the straight version (black robe, sycthe, stoic personality etc.) and that's why he was so surprised to a cute and cheerful girl in a pink kimono.
* GuileHero: While Botan doesn't have overwhelming spirit energy, she does use her minor abilities of possessing sleeping people and light creation to save Yusuke's life more than a couple times.
* HealingHands: Has this as a limited ability, and uses it on [[spoiler: Mitarai]] at some point.
* ManicPixieDreamGirl: She fits the personality type (minus crazy impluses) but her relationship with Yusuke was always platonic.
* OohMeAccentsSlipping: In the English dub, she has a slight English accent which diminishes over the course of the series...then pops back up in random intervals.
* {{Shinigami}}: A Shinigami with character details (such as the oar she rides on and her blue hair) referencing the Japanese Buddhist myth of the Sanzu River, analogous to the Western River Styx. Her primary function is as a psychopomp, although that appears less and less as the series focuses more on Yusuke's battles with demons. The English dub has her call herself the Grim Reaper and Guardian of the River Styx instead.
* TeamMom: Tends to mother Team Urameshi around. Then again, one of its members is [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Yusuke]] of all people.
* ThemeNaming: Ferry girls have names based on flowers of which in Botan's case is based on peony.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Or baby blue hair.

ClassRepresentative of Sariyashki High and Yusuke's childhood friend, Keiko is his LoveInterest throughout the series.
----
* ActionSurvivor: Has [[{{Muggles}} no supernatural powers]] to defend herself from demonic and powerful forces. She gets by by being {{plucky|Girl}} and resourceful, shown especially when she and Botan are up against zombies controlled by insects.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Her and Yusuke. [[SubvertedTrope Justi]][[JustifiedTrope fied]] in that while the rest of the school thinks he's some kind of mob boss she knows he's not as bad as he seems because they grew up together, therefore she ''does'' know his HiddenHeartOfGold very well.
* ArmorPiercingSlap: Especially when Yusuke touches her inappropriately. Yusuke says it hurts more than Kwuabara's punches.
* BelligerentSexualTension: Her and Yusuke.
* BrainyBrunette: The invesigator from spirit world says "Her marks are next to perfect."
%%* BrownEyes
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: With Yusuke.
* ChildhoodMarriagePromise: Played for laughs. Yusuke gives her one right before going to the Spirit World to meet [[spoiler: Raizen]], she's baffled by it... and then Mr. Yukimura laughs cheerfully and says "he did that every time he gave you grief when you were kids, remember?"
%%* CurtainsMatchTheWindow
* DistressedDamsel: Not her fault, as it's a consequence of having no magic or spiritual powers.
%%* GirlNextDoor
* HeroicBSOD: Has a pretty big one when Yusuke gets the tar beaten out of him by Younger Toguro.
* IWishedYouWereDead: After being irritated by Yusuke yet again, she furiously snaps "Why don't you just ''die''?!" Shortly after, Yusuke performs his HeroicSacrifice to save a kid, and Keiko's resultant breakdown is part of what convinces him to work his way back.
* MoralityPet: To Yusuke. Seeing him caring for, and being bossed around by, her shows he's a JerkWithAHeartOfGold.
* {{Muggle}}: Keiko and Atsuko are the only characters listed here without any kind of supernatural powers.
* OfficialCouple: With Yusuke since his revival more or less. Cemented at the end.
* PluckyGirl: Hiei's Shadow Sword, insect-controlled humans, the Dark Tournament...she's been able to handle it all pretty nicely. Borders on BadAssNormal sometimes (the girl's willing to ''douse herself with water and go through fire'' to rescue Yusuke's body!)
* {{Shorttank}}: Even if she ''is'' fond of wearing dresses.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Television closed captions for the English dub spell her name as "Kayko".
* TraumaticHaircut: Averted. Getting parts of her hair singed off after rescuing Yusuke from a fire leads to no angst on her part.
* {{Tsundere}}: Often tsun-tsun towards Yusuke (particularly when he's praising her body), although it's clear she does worry about him. The brief dere-dere momments are when he gets out of a particularly dangerous situation. She's a ''little'' harsher in the manga.

Chief administrator of the Spirit World and son of King Yama, Koenma resurrects Yusuke and becomes his employer.
----
* BadBoss: Played for laughs as he treats the narrator like dirt.
* BerserkButton: Being laughed off for resembling a toddler.
* BigGood: He is Yusuke's boss and the administrator of the Spirit World.
* {{Bishonen}}: In his adult form.
* ChekhovsGun: [[spoiler: His pacifier is a device that creates a barrier strong enough to hold S-Class demons.]]
* ChekhovsGunman: The Chapter Black Saga forces him out of the sidelines, and into the front field for the first time.
* CowardlyLion: Him being a bit of a coward is often played for laughs, even in serious situations. But in the Sensui arc, [[MyGreatestFailure he was willing to die to resolve an issue he had a personal stake in.]]
* CrossdressingVoices: Voiced by Mrs. Mayumi Tanaka in the original Japanese. Is also often voiced by female actresses in the dubs. In the Latin American dub, Child!Koenma was voiced by a woman; older!Koenma, by a man, and he's also voiced by a man in the English dub, much to Sean Michael Teague's vindication. He talks on the commentary track about how his voice is so high that he's constantly being mistaken for a woman at drive-throughs, so getting a job ''because'' he has a higher-pitched voice was great.
* DeadpanSnarker: In his older form.
* FailureKnight: [[spoiler: Is extremely guilt-ridden from his involvement and appointment of Sensui. Enough for him to [[LovableCoward face him personally]], and betray his own father.]]
* [[SheIsAllGrownUp He Is All Grown Up]] / OlderAlterEgo: Has a ''very'' bishounen adult form.
* ImmortalImmaturity: More in the anime than the manga, and usually when he's in his baby form.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's snide, condescending and rude, and he generally presents himself as a childish blowhard and LovableCoward, but from the start Koenma had Yusuke's interests in mind (even if he didn't ''always'' think he would survive) and helped where he can, and he has just as many moments where he shows he actually does care as he does being a brat. He even [[CowardlyLion put his life on the line when the chips are down once or twice]].
* KingOfAllCosmos: More like prince, but still he's a toddler.
* MrExposition: Particularly in the anime, where he has a video screen that lets him see everything and a clueless assistant who needs things spelled out to him.
* NonActionGuy: The Koenmatron jetpack is his solution to fighting.
* OralFixation: His pacifier. Even as his [[OlderAlterEgo Older and]] SexierAlterEgo, he keeps the pacifier.
* RageAgainstTheHeavens: [[spoiler: Behind the scenes, during the Demon World Unification Tournament, Koenma impeached and overthrew his father for the crimes of manipulating Demons to cause crimes in Human World for centuries.]]
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Is exactly 700 years old, and appears to be a toddler. He can transform into a bishonen teen form for a few minutes at a time... but doesn't remove his pacifier when he does so. Stays in teenage form continuously later in the series when it gets more serious. Eventually the pacifier is [[ChekhovsGun revealed to be a device to store energy]]. He keeps the the pacifier in his mouth even after using up its stored energy, presumably because that's how he recharges it.
* SexierAlterEgo: Koenma (usually in the form of an infant with a pacifier) is able to take on an older, more {{bishounen}} appearance.
* ShoutOut: He is disguised as [[spoiler: [[Franchise/SailorMoon Tuxedo Mask]]]] at the Makai Tournament, probably because Togashi and Takeuchi were dating at the time.
* SpoiledBrat: On his bad days, he'll come off as (particularly) insufferable and bossy.
* SpoiledSweet: He's still a fairly responsible leader in general.

A legendary human psychic that holds a tournament to choose an apprentice to pass on her power to in her old age. With Yusuke's victory, she becomes his mentor, determined to beat skill into him even if he doesn't want it. Unknown to everyone (though not above suspicion), she's also the fifth masked fighter for Team Urameshi during the Dark Tournament. Has something of an ''interesting'' past with the younger Toguro brother.

Prior to that, she also took out [[spoiler:Suzuki]] and [[spoiler:Shishiwakamaru]], two C-class demons, with little effort, as well as became the first character on-screen to actually manage to [[spoiler:injure Younger Toguro]].
* BroughtDownToNormal: [[spoiler:The ultimate secret of the Spirit Wave is the Spirit Wave Orb, which she has to pass down to her apprentice. This makes him stronger while it makes her roughly 90% weaker]].

* GamerChick: Because she doesn't have much to do when she's not training besides playing some arcade game she owns. Really.
* HealingHands: Though she doesn't use them often.
* HiddenHeartOfGold: As a SinkOrSwimMentor enforcing TrainingFromHell on Yusuke, she can come across as unfeeling. Well it's clear later on that she cares just as much as anybody else, but don't expect her to show it though.

* IWasQuiteALooker: Was [[CuteBruiser VERY cute]] when young. [[spoiler: Her choosing to be old rather than [[DealWithTheDevil become a demon like Toguro]] is what drove him to kill her.]]
* KilledOffForReal: In the manga, she already passed away at the start of the last chapter. She died after Team Yusuke's last mission at the Gates of Judgment hostage situation. Unlike the first time she died at the end of the Dark Tournament, she didn't come back.
* LittleDeadRidingHood: Was killed by Younger Toguro in her usual red attire. She recovered.
* MeaningfulFuneral: In the manga.
* MeaningfulName: Genkai generally means "limit" in Japanese. Has quite a few meanings in context of the show, huh? It's a homonym too; her name is written with the kanji for "illusion" and "sea"- "sea of illusion", which is also meaningful as she's an OldMaster with a lot of secrets.
* {{Miniature Senior Citizen|s}}: Although she is seen in flashbacks to have always been that height.
* NeverMessWithGranny: As someone who is a former champion of the Dark Tournament, her fighting skill should be without question. That doesn't stop glory-seeking demons from trying to fight her...
* NotSoStoic: Is harsh, disparaging, and domineering to Yusuke to a fault, but almost has an HeroicBSOD [[spoiler: when he dies in the Chapter Black saga.]]
** Also, [[spoiler: she yells at Toguro-ototo when he's literally about to go to Hell.]]

* OldMaster: The "just wants a break" version, and badass grandma.
* PaperThinDisguise: Doubly subverted. [[spoiler: Her disguise is her usual outfit with a head covering bandage. Underneath is her younger appearance.]]
* PintSizedPowerhouse: She's barely taller then Hiei. In her first episode, she knocks two rude and huge men into a wall just by blinking a wave of energy at them. Be polite to your elders.
* ProgressivelyPrettier: When she first appeared, she was downright toad-like, with yellowish skin and gigantic eyelids. As her role expanded, she started letting her hair down, grew eyebrows (??), and dropped a few obvious wrinkles. She still looks worn down and ragged, but you can tell that she was once very pretty.
* RenownedSelectiveMentor: Holds a tournament to determine her successor. However, she also points out that she doesn't consider morality a factor when selecting a successor, and part of Yusuke's entering is so that Rando will not receive her techniques.
* SelfDeprecation: She's not afraid to make fun of herself in the pursuit of snark.
--> '''Shishiwakamaru''': I'm surprised my sword's sound alone didn't kill you, you withered old hag.\\
'''Genkai''': Yes, silly me, I must have forgotten to turn my hearing aid on. When you get to be a washed-up old lady like me, the memory is the first to go.
* ShesAManInJapan: In the Filipino dub, she was given the name Jeremiah, which fortunately is unisex, although usually used by males.
* SinkOrSwimMentor: "Use your spirit energy to float above the spike."
%%* SternTeacher: Very stern.
* TrainingFromHell: For Yusuke, herself. [[spoiler: and the Six Fighters, in the Three Kings arc.]] For instance, one of her practicies is "Use your spirit energy to float above the spike. We will hold this for twelve hours."
%%* TricksterMentor: Sometimes, as part of Yusuke's TrainingFromHell.

* CutenessProximity: Her very ''appearance'' is enough to turn anyone into a doting big-brother and CoolBigSis who wants to hug her all day long.
* DefiantCaptive: She faces torture with as much dignity as she can unless ''others'' are threatened/tortured/killed in front of her. Which [[FridgeHorror hits you like a sack of bricks]] when you think of how ''long'' the poor girl has been tortured until the point of desensitization.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Portrayed this way in her first appearances. The manga has an off-hand mention of the birds being Reikai messengers, however, and later, one of Hiei's [[WholeEpisodeFlashback Whole Episode Flashbacks]] has her make an interesting statement...which makes her a [[SubvertedTrope subversion]] of the trope, if anything.

->Voiced by: Creator/YuriShiratori (JP), Creator/JustinCook (EN)
A Yusuke's Spirit Beast who hatched from the egg given to him by Koenma.
----
* {{Bond Creature|s}}: Yusuke received an egg that would hatch a spirit beast. If he's good it will be this. If he isn't, the beast will eat his soul. The egg would have been the latter but he sacrificed it to save Keiko. Thus because of this, it ends up hatching a good spirit beast, Puu. The nature of the creature produced was supposed to be determined by the type of energy Yuusuke gave off. If bad, he'd get eaten and the filing problem he represented would be over; if good, he'd earned resurrection. But then scheduling issues caused Koenma to ditch that plan and just resurrect him, and the egg presumably hung around in spiritual form being ignored until ready to hatch. Puu originally resembles a blue Furby with huge floppy ears, but evolves into a sort of phoenix thing [[spoiler: after Yuusuke is resurrected again as a Mazoku.]]
* CessationOfExistence: What it could have done to Yusuke had it hatched earlier.
* ChekhovsGun: The egg Yusuke throws into the fire to save Keiko early in the series is Puu! It gets lampshaded when Koenma has to remind Yusuke about the egg during the Dark Tournament arc, as he'd completely forgotten about it after he came back to life.
* EmpathyPet: Whatever Yusuke is feeling, Puu will also feel and vice versa.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: During the final match against Toguro Yusuke's spirit energy takes the form of a giant bird and flies around the stadium before it settles back into him, foreshadowing the form Puu (who is a representation of Yusuke's spirit) will eventually take. (Puu also settles down around Yusuke right after taking that form, just like the energy did.)
* HeadPet: Until he was too large to stay on Yusuke's head.
* ThePhoenix: His true form.

* ButtMonkey: He gets abused by Koenma even when he doesn't do anything.

* NarratorAllAlong: It is discovered in the last episodes, although hinted at shortly before, that he was the narrator of the show- since it is revealed that the show itself is the records of the protagonists' adventures that Koenma kept (hence the title, which, while using the original Japanese name, is nonetheless translated by Creator/FUNimation as "Ghost Files").

* GenkiGirl: Her liveliness and general energy is one reason why Yusuke didn't think she was a grim reaper.
* TheGrimReaper: A pleasant Japanese subversion. Yusuke was expecting the straight version (black robe, sycthe, stoic personality etc.) and that's why he was so surprised to a cute and cheerful girl in a pink kimono.
* GuileHero: While Botan doesn't have overwhelming spirit energy, she does use her minor abilities of possessing sleeping people and light creation to save Yusuke's life more than a couple times.
* HealingHands: Has this as a limited ability, and uses it on [[spoiler: Mitarai]] at some point.
* ManicPixieDreamGirl: She fits the personality type (minus crazy impluses) but her relationship with Yusuke was always platonic.
* OohMeAccentsSlipping: In the English dub, she has a slight English accent which diminishes over the course of the series...then pops back up in random intervals.
* {{Shinigami}}: A Shinigami with character details (such as the oar she rides on and her blue hair) referencing the Japanese Buddhist myth of the Sanzu River, analogous to the Western River Styx. Her primary function is as a psychopomp, although that appears less and less as the series focuses more on Yusuke's battles with demons. The English dub has her call herself the Grim Reaper and Guardian of the River Styx instead.

* CowardlyLion: Him being a bit of a coward is often played for laughs, even in serious situations. But in the Sensui arc, [[MyGreatestFailure he was willing to die to resolve an issue he had a personal stake in.]]
* CrossdressingVoices: Voiced by Mrs. Mayumi Tanaka in the original Japanese. Is also often voiced by female actresses in the dubs. In the Latin American dub, Child!Koenma was voiced by a woman; older!Koenma, by a man, and he's also voiced by a man in the English dub, much to Sean Michael Teague's vindication. He talks on the commentary track about how his voice is so high that he's constantly being mistaken for a woman at drive-throughs, so getting a job ''because'' he has a higher-pitched voice was great.

* [[SheIsAllGrownUp He Is All Grown Up]] / OlderAlterEgo: Has a ''very'' bishounen adult form.
* ImmortalImmaturity: More in the anime than the manga, and usually when he's in his baby form.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's snide, condescending and rude, and he generally presents himself as a childish blowhard and LovableCoward, but from the start Koenma had Yusuke's interests in mind (even if he didn't ''always'' think he would survive) and helped where he can, and he has just as many moments where he shows he actually does care as he does being a brat. He even [[CowardlyLion put his life on the line when the chips are down once or twice]].
* KingOfAllCosmos: More like prince, but still he's a toddler.
* MrExposition: Particularly in the anime, where he has a video screen that lets him see everything and a clueless assistant who needs things spelled out to him.
* NonActionGuy: The Koenmatron jetpack is his solution to fighting.
* OralFixation: His pacifier. Even as his [[OlderAlterEgo Older and]] SexierAlterEgo, he keeps the pacifier.

* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Is exactly 700 years old, and appears to be a toddler. He can transform into a bishonen teen form for a few minutes at a time... but doesn't remove his pacifier when he does so. Stays in teenage form continuously later in the series when it gets more serious. Eventually the pacifier is [[ChekhovsGun revealed to be a device to store energy]]. He keeps the the pacifier in his mouth even after using up its stored energy, presumably because that's how he recharges it.
* SexierAlterEgo: Koenma (usually in the form of an infant with a pacifier) is able to take on an older, more {{bishounen}} appearance.
* ShoutOut: He is disguised as [[spoiler: [[Franchise/SailorMoon Tuxedo Mask]]]] at the Makai Tournament, probably because Togashi and Takeuchi were dating at the time.

As her role expanded, she started letting her hair down, grew eyebrows (??), and dropped a few obvious wrinkles. She still looks worn down and ragged, but you can tell that she was once very pretty.
* RenownedSelectiveMentor: Holds a tournament to determine her successor. However, she also points out that she doesn't consider morality a factor when selecting a successor, and part of Yusuke's entering is so that Rando will not receive her techniques.

* BewareOfTheNiceOnes: She once told Hiei her ''real'' reason for searching her brother: [[spoiler: reminding him his promise to kill all the Ice Maidens and lead him where they lived]].
* BodyToJewel: Her tears become valuable jewels, which has people trying to make her cry through [[ColdBloodedTorture incredible cruelty]].
* BreakTheCutie: She experiences this briefly after watching her only two friends, a pair of bluebirds, get murdered in cold blood.
* CutenessProximity: Her very ''appearance'' is enough to turn anyone into a doting big-brother and CoolBigSis who wants to hug her all day long.
* DefiantCaptive: She faces torture with as much dignity as she can unless ''others'' are threatened/tortured/killed in front of her. Which [[FridgeHorror hits you like a sack of bricks]] when you think of how ''long'' the poor girl has been tortured until the point of desensitization.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Portrayed this way in her first appearances. The manga has an off-hand mention of the birds being Reikai messengers, however, and later, one of Hiei's [[WholeEpisodeFlashback Whole Episode Flashbacks]] has her make an interesting statement...which makes her a [[SubvertedTrope subversion]] of the trope, if anything.
* HealingHands: But not TheMedic. Her powers are good, but she doesn't appear often enough for that.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: With Kazuma who is easily twice her size.
* AnIcePerson: She's a lot nicer then Seiryuu at least.
* ImpliedLoveInterest: Of Kuwabara by the end of the series.
* ImTakingHerHomeWithMe: Kuwabara's ''first'' reaction upon seeing her in Koenma's mission video, and just about every ''good'' person in the cast when they meet her for the first time. By the end of the series [[spoiler: Kuwabara's family ''does'' take her home, whether as a little sister or as Kazuma's girlfriend/wife is left uncertain.]]
* TheIngenue: Kind, innocent, gentle, etc.
* MaybeEverAfter: [[spoiler:With Kuwabara.]]
* MercyKill: Seems to want this to happen to the Ice Maiden society.
-->'''Yukina:''' "If survival means becoming as cold as ice... then I don't see the point."
%%* NiceGirl
* {{Protectorate}}:
** Of Kuwabara. Raising a hand to her is a very good way to cause Kuwabara's instant UnstoppableRage.
** Also of Hiei. In the second movie, one of the villains admitted having harmed her, and Hiei ''[[NoKillLikeOverkill disintegrated]]'' him. Then there's his CruelMercy to Tarukane...
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Averted. She has deep red eyes yet she's anything BUT evil. [[spoiler: Then again, she's searching her brother to have him commit a genocide...]]
%%* RedStringOfFate: With Kuwabara.
* SeparatedAtBirth: With [[spoiler: Hiei]]. So separated that [[spoiler: he was ''thrown off the Ice Demon's floating city'' few hours after he and Yukina were born, despite their mother's cries and pleas to get him spared.]]
* WillTheyOrWontThey: Her and Kuwabara. And the finale [[spoiler: [[StatusQuoIsGod keeps the status quo]] even though there are some hints that Yukina [[MaybeEverAfter just might reciprocate]].]]
* WomanInWhite: She always shows up dressed in a pure white kimono.
* YamatoNadeshiko: In both appearance (long hair, kimono, moderate height) and personality (dignified, strong willed, polite, loving) and [[spoiler: just might have become Kuwabara's wife at the end.]]
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Sea green in this case.

Yusuke's alcoholic mother, unaware of his Spirit Detective job.
----
* AlcoholicParent: She is almost always shown drunk, and more than once toasted to the point of sleeping in.
%%* AmicableExes: With Yusuke's dad.
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: She may not be the most responsible parent, but she genuinely cares for Yusuke.
* DemotedToExtra: She kinda disappears after the anime's Spirit Detective arc. Notably, when Keiko, Botan and Shizuru are discussing the Dark Tournament in the anime, Atsuko is passed out drunk. In the manga, the scene is never shown, but all four show up there together.
* DoesNotLikeShoes: She never appears to wear any in the anime. In the manga as she also wears her [[BadassInANiceSuit business attire]] from time to time.
* DragonLady: Not shown in the anime, but she seemed to have ties with Yakuza. She and her group threatened the school's principal to let Yusuke come back to school after he came back to life. She also got Yusuke set up a business of his own through her connections at the end of the manga.
* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: She often draws others in.
%%* {{Muggle}}
* OneOfTheBoys: Her pals outside of Yusuke's circle in the manga are men.
* ParentsAsPeople: While she does clearly love her son, she is just as clearly unprepared for motherhood.

* TeenPregnancy: She had Yusuke when she was 15.

Kuwabara's DeadpanSnarker sister, even more spiritually aware than him.
----
* ActionSurvivor: The girl isn't a fighter, but manages to survive this very action-packed story. That's pretty badass in itself.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Her and [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Sakyo]] in the anime. Though she's smart enough to not harbor ''any'' illusions about him turning to the side of good, she ''does'' listen to his really creepy backstory and show him far more compassion than he deserves. Could be [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] due to just being his [[{{Bishonen}} looks]], and because he ''does'' treat her significantly better than he bothers to treat anyone else.
%%* [[AloofBigBrother Aloof Big Sister]]
* [[BigBrotherBully Big Sister Bully]]: She's sometimes abusive towards her brother.

* EducationMama: In the final arc, puts pressure on Kuwabara to study, which results in him getting into a good high school, albeit barely.

* ItRunsInTheFamily: Has a high spiritual awareness like her brother.
* PsychicPowers: Is much more powerfully clairvoyant and can actually see ghosts.
* SmokingIsCool: She even puts her cigarette out on an apparition's tongue to shut him up.

A shinigami like Botan whose primary duty in Spirit World seems to be doing research for Koenma.
----
* AloofDarkHairedGirl: As can be seen [[http://yuyuhakusho.wikia.com/wiki/Ayame here]].
* DemotedToExtra: She is one of Koenma's chief assistants in the manga. In the anime, her only appearance was in Episode 66 to provide a summary of [[spoiler: Younger Toguro's]] life for him to decide on [[spoiler: his]] fate in the afterlife.
* KimonoIsTraditional: She always shows up in her black kimono, and unlike Botan she never changes into anything else.
* LoveInterest: In the manga, Koenma is shown to have an infatuation for her. Whether she has any feelings for him in return is ambiguous.
* ThemeNaming: As with her fellow Ferry girls, her name is based on that of a flower. In Ayame's case, hers is iris.
* TheWatson: She is the one who primarily serves as this in the Manga, but gets replaced as this by Ogre in the anime.

'''Main Power:''' Psychic link with Yusuke / Flight]
->Voiced by: Creator/YuriShiratori (JP), Creator/JustinCook (EN)
A Yusuke's Spirit Beast who hatched from the egg given to him by Koenma.
----
* {{Bond Creature|s}}: Yusuke received an egg that would hatch a spirit beast. If he's good it will be this. If he isn't, the beast will eat his soul. The egg would have been the latter but he sacrificed it to save Keiko. Thus because of this, it ends up hatching a good spirit beast, Puu. The nature of the creature produced was supposed to be determined by the type of energy Yuusuke gave off. If bad, he'd get eaten and the filing problem he represented would be over; if good, he'd earned resurrection. But then scheduling issues caused Koenma to ditch that plan and just resurrect him, and the egg presumably hung around in spiritual form being ignored until ready to hatch. Puu originally resembles a blue Furby with huge floppy ears, but evolves into a sort of phoenix thing [[spoiler: after Yuusuke is resurrected again as a Mazoku.]]
* CessationOfExistence: What it could have done to Yusuke had it hatched earlier.
* ChekhovsGun: The egg Yusuke throws into the fire to save Keiko early in the series is Puu! It gets lampshaded when Koenma has to remind Yusuke about the egg during the Dark Tournament arc, as he'd completely forgotten about it after he came back to life.
* EmpathyPet: Whatever Yusuke is feeling, Puu will also feel and vice versa.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: During the final match against Toguro Yusuke's spirit energy takes the form of a giant bird and flies around the stadium before it settles back into him, foreshadowing the form Puu (who is a representation of Yusuke's spirit) will eventually take. (Puu also settles down around Yusuke right after taking that form, just like the energy did.)
* HeadPet: Until he was too large to stay on Yusuke's head.
* ThePhoenix: His true form.
* {{Synchronization}}: With Yusuke by virtue of being his bond creature.

Koenma's ogre assistant, often blamed and bullied by him.
----
* AscendedExtra: His first appearance was as one of several Ogres trying to get paper work to Koenma during the Genkai Tournament arc in which he provides some small amount of commentary. He made his next appearance during the Maze Castle arc unaccompanied by any other ogres and [[EnsembleDarkhorse the rest is history]].
* ButtMonkey: He gets abused by Koenma even when he doesn't do anything.
* CanonForeigner: Doesn't appear in the manga, where his function is usually served by Botan or Ayame.
* NarratorAllAlong: It is discovered in the last episodes, although hinted at shortly before, that he was the narrator of the show- since it is revealed that the show itself is the records of the protagonists' adventures that Koenma kept (hence the title, which, while using the original Japanese name, is nonetheless translated by Creator/FUNimation as "Ghost Files").
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: The dub credits him as "Blue Ogre" up until Chapter Black, and Koenma addresses him as "Ogre." The Japanese version reveals his name during or near the end of the Dark Tournament, and Koenma just calls him "[[HeyYou you]]" before that.
%%* OnlySaneMan: ''Painfully'' obvious...
