Jin is a demon with mastery over the wind. This grants him the power to fly at great speeds. His signature move is to spin his forearm at high speed, creating a tornado around it, making his punches more powerful, even causing damage when he misses. He enjoys his battles, especially when he has a worthy opponent. He states that when he gets excited about a fight his ears twitch. During the fight for control of the Demon World, Jin is one of the demons that Kurama trains to fight for Yomi, though they disband to fight individually in the Demon World tournament.
----

Chu is the strongest fighter and leader of team Jolly Devil Six, but ends up as the team alternate after losing at Jan-ken-pon. Chu specializes in the "Drunken Fist", which fuses the alcohol he drinks with his aura. During the fight for control of the Makai, Chu is one of the demons that Kurama trains to fight for Yomi, though they eventually all disband to fight individually in the Makai tournament. At the end of the manga, he begins training with, and falls for, Natsume, the female demon who defeated him in the Makai tournament.
----
* TheAce: To his team.
* AddictionPowered: The drunker he gets, the stronger he becomes.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Zig-zagged, it seemed Zeru, the proxy leader was the real threat, however the only reason Chu wasn't in the roster initially is that he lost at RockPaperScissors. He proves his strength soon enough.
* BloodKnight: When Yusuke tells him he wants to see if he has more than his drunken fist, he gets very interested
* BoisterousBruiser: He's by far the tallest guy Yusuke hangs out with, he [[TheAlcoholic drinks like a fish]] and only becomes that much stronger when he does it. Helped by [[Creator/NorioWakamoto who voiced him as well]].
* CasanovaWannabe: Shown in his EstablishingCharacterMoment with Koto (the cat commentator). He mellows out a bit later on, mainly directing the unwanted affections toward his IceQueen love interest.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: He shows up tripping over everything, acting dumbly and lazily, and looking like crap. Boy, does he ever turn out to be ''total badass''. It's pointed out soon afterward that he's only the "alternate" because he lost in rock paper scissors.
* DrunkenMaster: Became more dangerous after taking a swig of Ogre Killer. Taken to whole new levels when his most powerful attack actually involves mixing his energy with alcohol to make an energy ball powerful enough that two shots of Yusuke's Spirit Gun couldn't equal it. The first shot weakened the attack and the second shot burst through it, punching a hole in the middle, but not stopping it. Even better, he has a special kind of alcohol that... well... induces vomiting. Once he's emptied his stomach, he gets drunk even faster, which summons more of his demonic energy for him to use. (Tequila?)
* FriendlyEnemy: Right up there with Jin as one the friendlier opponents Yusuke faced though this was probably due to their mutual BloodKnight tendencies in the beginning. During the Three Kings saga later on however, he and Jin did share hugs and laughs with the latter upon being reunited.
* FrothyMugsOfWater: In the edited version that aired on Toonami, all references to alcohol and drunkenness had to be omitted and thus his Ogre Killer went from being an alcoholic drink to being a [[{{Bowdlerise}} "magical elixir"]].
* HeelFaceTurn: Though let's be fair, it's not like he was '''that''' evil to start with.
* LargeHam: What did you expect of Creator/NorioWakamoto? And surprisingly enough, Kent Williams manages to up the ante with a hammy Australian accent!
* LoveAtFirstPunch: With [[IceQueen Natsume]].
* ShoutOut: Chu has a strong physical resemblance to Wez from Film/MadMax2TheRoadWarrior. Funimation's English dub takes this allusion further by having Chu voiced with an Australian accent.
* WildCard: He appears without any foreshadowing, and gives Yusuke who had [[TookALevelInBadass taken training]] what was intended to be a CurbStompBattle and change it into an equal fight. Even their sponsor lampshades it.

Rinku is a young demon who uses yo-yos to attack. Rinku is childish and playful, and often annoys those around him. He controls his yo-yos by channeling his aura through the strings.

Shishiwakamaru is a tiny imp demon who can transform into a full human appearance. He is a swordsman who seeks to make himself famous. Suzuki gives him the Sword of Trials, a sword hilt that changes into whatever weapon suits the wielder. For Shishi it becomes the Banshee Shriek, a sword which channels the souls of the dead and materializes them to devour his opponent. During the fight for control of the Makai, Shishi is one of the demons that Kurama trains to fight for Yomi, though they eventually all disband to fight individually in the Makai tournament.
----
* AffectionateNickname: Occasionally called "Shishi" or "Shishiwaka" for short. Suzuka tends to use it a lot in the final arc, particularly when Shishiwakamaru's life is briefly in danger during the tournament preliminaries. His fangirls call him "Waka-sama."
* ApatheticCitizens: Is the only one of Kurama's Six Fighters to not express much passion in the Yusuke vs. Yomi debate, instead marking his vote as "undecided". Suzuki is quick to scratch out his vote and change it to "Yusuke".
* BigBadWannabe: For a minute there, it really looked like he'd be the next tough opponent. ...''He wasn't.''
* BreakTheHaughty: On the receiving end of this from Genkai.
* HeelFaceTurn: Once retconned into surviving his battle with Genkai.
* ItsAllAboutMe: He sort of acts like a celebrity and is obsessed with fame.
* MakeMeWannaShout: His sound's wailing can steal the souls of weaker beings who hear the sound and his attacks are based around sound in general.
* MrFanservice: Very much both in-universe fangirls and out.
* {{Retcon}}: Shishiwakamaru was clearly meant to be dead after Genkai defeats him. In the original Japanese version, Genkai even refers to him as "the late Shishiwakamaru" in her battle with Suzuki. But in the final TournamentArc, he's inexplicably alive and a good guy. One wonders if his real-life fangirls had some sort of influence on this decision.
* {{Samurai}}: Shishiwakamaru, patterned after the legendary hero [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minamoto_no_Yoshitsune Minamoto-no-Yoshitsune, aka Ushiwakamaru]], the samurai that was said to originate the term {{Bishonen}}.
* SleepModeSize: Maybe. When he reappears to train with Kurama, he's in an inexplicable bird-like form small enough to fit on Suzuki's shoulder. This form and its relative power/use compared to his bishie form are neither commented on nor explained.
%%* SmugSnake
%%* SplitPersonality: Shishiwakamaru fluxuates between a smug warrior and a bloodthristy berserker.

'''Kurama''': I admit, I'm embarrassed listening to him.
* TookALevelInBadass: Goes from a complete utter joke who had a team that almost completely relied on tools that provided gimmicks rather than genuine battle skills to a mid-tier S Class demon after being trained by Genkai who's able to hold off his own against other demons far more powerful than Toguro.
* TookALevelInKindness: Unlike Shishiwakamaru, who switched to the side of good while maintaining his prima donna attitude, Suzuka seems to be a lot more dedicated to Team Urameshi's cause following his defeat. He starts out by giving Kuwabara and Kurama vital devices to help hone their energy [[EnemyMine for the fight against Team Toguro]], and then is quick to express his support for Yusuke alongside Rinku, Chu, Jin, and Toya when Kurama asks how they feel about Urameshi facing off against Yomi (their boss). He even goes so far as to enthusiastically override Shishiwakamaru's vote of indifference on the matter, forcing the latter to side with Yusuke like the rest of them.
* TheTrickster: He's actually ''very'' powerful and tricky. He just has no Godamn idea how to properly use that power...
* TrueCompanions: Appears to have this feeling with [[spoiler: Shishiwakamaru, showing genuine fright when he thinks the latter was killed after getting swallowed whole in the preliminary round for the final tournament. The sight literally causes him to freeze up onscreen]].

Yu Kaito is a human who develops superhuman powers as a result of the demon plane hole opened by Sensui. He is a student at Meioh Private Academy where he constantly attempts to outdo Kurama for top grades. He is a master of the written word, having written several books and enjoys word puzzles.
His ability is "Taboo" which allows him to create word games that those within his territory must adhere to or their soul will be extracted from their body. While testing the limits of his power, Kaito breaks his Taboo and has his own soul sucked from his body, prompting Kido and Yanagisawa to consult Genkai to help him and explain their new powers.
In the manga, his last appearance shows him spending his day off mostly playing video games and writing.
----
* BadassPacifist: ''Literally''. His power completely bans violence of any kind, and the only way to beat him is to outsmart him in word games. Considering just how freaking intelligent the guy is, ''good luck.''
* BadassBookworm: While he's not exactly a fighter, he can keep his wits when 'fighting' others and is very, ''very'' booksmart.
* EvilGloating: Constantly gloats throughout his battle of wits, mockingly challenging Kurama to use words that they're about to lose access to, showing off his wide vocabulary and in general lording over the fact that he can speak normally with no effort despite losing more and more of the alphabet. However, this isn't a sign of foolishness as it usually would be - though Kurama half-heartedly suggests that he could get too excited showing off and make a mistake, they both know that Kaito is far too intelligent to actually mess up. Instead, the gloating itself shows of that he is far too skilled to defeat by his own rules, requiring drastic action.
* FourEyesZeroSoul: Seems this way when he first appears, [[spoiler: but proves to be more benevolent.]]
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: His taboo power also applies to him. Also, the plants he intended as mockery were essential to his defeat.
* InsufferableGenius: A villainous one at first, which probably came with the whole [[spoiler:"evil act" business]].
* MeaningfulName: Yu means ghost and Kaito means thief. One can only wonder why he steals the souls of up to three of our main characters.
* TheProblemWithPenIsland: If he makes a word taboo, anyone who says the syllables for it in succession loses their soul, regardless of whether it's two words formed together, such as "eac'''h ot'''her" for "hot".
* RealityWarper: His territory bans violence and imposes linguistical taboos which must be cleared.
* TheRival: Academically, to Kurama.
* TheStoic: He is extremely impassive and rarely panics or shows emotion other than mild amusement. Kurama ultimately defeats him by proving he is NotSoStoic and making him laugh at the worst possible moment, but [[spoiler: even afterwards he's the least affected of the human characters by the extraordinary or horrible things around them - in fact, when Kurama is forced to kill Amanuma, unlike everyone else - who are clearly bothered - the only reaction we see from Kaito is the shine from his glasses as he looks on as stony as ever. Only ''Hiei'' remained so cool in the same scene.]]
* SecretKeeper: [[spoiler: He is the only human who knows Kurama's whereabouts in the last arc.]]
* VillainBall: Though [[spoiler: the "villain" part is largely an act]], he puts a garden of exotic plants in his arena for no reason other than to mock Kurama's abilities - and despite usually being very careful, it seems to slip his mind that Kurama should still have access ''to'' those ablities. Since only ''violence'' isn't allowed in his territory, Kurama then uses those plants repeatedly to non-violently dismantle his plan.

Asato Kido is a human who develops superhuman powers as a result of the demon plane hole opened by Sensui. His ability, "Shadow", allows him to step on someone's shadow and incapacitate them. Along with Yu Kaito and Yanagisawa he seeks the aid of Genkai when his powers appear. It is shown that he also has limited control over his own shadow, using it to spell out his attackers name after he is paralyzed by Doctor. In his final manga appearance, Kido is shown to have been stood up by his date in a cinema while the narration says he is far too forgiving.

Raizen's second-in-command. He first appears to offer Yusuke the chance to go back to demon world to train and take over Raizen's position if he dies. Impressing Yusuke in a fight, Hokushin goes back to demon world waiting for Yusuke's arrival so they can get to training. When Yusuke arrives, he begins training and preparing him towards his true destiny.

Jin is a demon with mastery over the wind. This grants him the power to fly at great speeds. His signature move is to spin his forearm at high speed, creating a tornado around it, making his punches more powerful, even causing damage when he misses. He enjoys his battles, especially when he has a worthy opponent. He states that when he gets excited about a fight his ears twitch. During the fight for control of the Demon World, Jin is one of the demons that Kurama trains to fight for Yomi, though they disband to fight individually in the Demon World tournament.
----
* TheAce: The strongest of Team Masho to the point Yusuke had to expend all of his spirit energy to beat him.
* BlowYouAway: his powers involve the use of wind to the point he can even glide seamlessly and much of his strategem is diving down at the enemy like a hawk snatching his prey.
* BloodKnight: Jin loves to fight just as much as Yusuke.
* CuteLittleFangs: See [[http://quizilla.teennick.com/user_images/S/SH/SHU/shuichisgirlfriend/1165021852_8screencap.jpg here]]
* FriendlyEnemy: ''Very!'' He and Yusuke get along remarkably well.
* FunPersonified: Yusuke can't keep his angry mood for half a minute when holding a conversation with Jin - which is just what Jin wanted: he hates going into battle with grudges.
* {{Keet}}: This is not helped by the fact that he has the same [[Creator/KappeiYamaguchi Japanese voice actor as Ryuichi Sakuma]].
* {{Oireland}}: in the English dub, speaks with a nearly impenetrable Irish accent for some reason.
* SpiritedCompetitor: A memorable one, because he also lacks the BloodKnight tendencies of some of the other characters Yusuke meets. He encourages Yusuke to focus on the thrill of fighting someone as powerful as he is, clean and fair - and he's noticeably even more disgusted by the unfair attempts to rig the fight than Touya was, losing interest in the battle entirely until seeing Yusuke in action.

->Voiced by: Creator/NorioWakamoto (JP), Creator/KentWilliams (EN)
Chu is the strongest fighter and leader of team Jolly Devil Six, but ends up as the team alternate after losing at Jan-ken-pon. Chu specializes in the "Drunken Fist", which fuses the alcohol he drinks with his aura. During the fight for control of the Makai, Chu is one of the demons that Kurama trains to fight for Yomi, though they eventually all disband to fight individually in the Makai tournament. At the end of the manga, he begins training with, and falls for, Natsume, the female demon who defeated him in the Makai tournament.
----
* TheAce: To his team.
* AddictionPowered: The drunker he gets, the stronger he becomes.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Zig-zagged, it seemed Zeru, the proxy leader was the real threat, however the only reason Chu wasn't in the roster initially is that he lost at RockPaperScissors. He proves his strength soon enough.
* BloodKnight: When Yusuke tells him he wants to see if he has more than his drunken fist, he gets very interested
* BoisterousBruiser: He's by far the tallest guy Yusuke hangs out with, he [[TheAlcoholic drinks like a fish]] and only becomes that much stronger when he does it. Helped by [[Creator/NorioWakamoto who voiced him as well]].
* CasanovaWannabe: Shown in his EstablishingCharacterMoment with Koto (the cat commentator). He mellows out a bit later on, mainly directing the unwanted affections toward his IceQueen love interest.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: He shows up tripping over everything, acting dumbly and lazily, and looking like crap. Boy, does he ever turn out to be ''total badass''. It's pointed out soon afterward that he's only the "alternate" because he lost in rock paper scissors.
* DrunkenMaster: Became more dangerous after taking a swig of Ogre Killer. Taken to whole new levels when his most powerful attack actually involves mixing his energy with alcohol to make an energy ball powerful enough that two shots of Yusuke's Spirit Gun couldn't equal it. The first shot weakened the attack and the second shot burst through it, punching a hole in the middle, but not stopping it. Even better, he has a special kind of alcohol that... well... induces vomiting. Once he's emptied his stomach, he gets drunk even faster, which summons more of his demonic energy for him to use. (Tequila?)
* FriendlyEnemy: Right up there with Jin as one the friendlier opponents Yusuke faced though this was probably due to their mutual BloodKnight tendencies in the beginning. During the Three Kings saga later on however, he and Jin did share hugs and laughs with the latter upon being reunited.
* FrothyMugsOfWater: In the edited version that aired on Toonami, all references to alcohol and drunkenness had to be omitted and thus his Ogre Killer went from being an alcoholic drink to being a [[{{Bowdlerise}} "magical elixir"]].
* HeelFaceTurn: Though let's be fair, it's not like he was '''that''' evil to start with.
* LargeHam: What did you expect of Creator/NorioWakamoto? And surprisingly enough, Kent Williams manages to up the ante with a hammy Australian accent!
* LoveAtFirstPunch: With [[IceQueen Natsume]].
* ShoutOut: Chu has a strong physical resemblance to Wez from Film/MadMax2TheRoadWarrior. Funimation's English dub takes this allusion further by having Chu voiced with an Australian accent.
* WildCard: He appears without any foreshadowing, and gives Yusuke who had [[TookALevelInBadass taken training]] what was intended to be a CurbStompBattle and change it into an equal fight. Even their sponsor lampshades it.
* WorthyOpponent: Views Yusuke as one.

Rinku is a young demon who uses yo-yos to attack. Rinku is childish and playful, and often annoys those around him. He controls his yo-yos by channeling his aura through the strings. During the fight for control of the Makai, Rinku is one of the demons that Kurama trains to fight for Yomi, though they eventually all disband to fight individually in the Makai tournament. At the end of the manga, he becomes stricken with Sasuga, a female demon who defeated him in the Makai Tournament, and it is hinted that they are in a relationship together.

->Voiced by: Creator/ToshiyukiMorikawa (JP), Creator/ChristopherBevins (EN), José Germán (Spain)
Shishiwakamaru is a tiny imp demon who can transform into a full human appearance. He is a swordsman who seeks to make himself famous. Suzuki gives him the Sword of Trials, a sword hilt that changes into whatever weapon suits the wielder. For Shishi it becomes the Banshee Shriek, a sword which channels the souls of the dead and materializes them to devour his opponent. During the fight for control of the Makai, Shishi is one of the demons that Kurama trains to fight for Yomi, though they eventually all disband to fight individually in the Makai tournament.
----
* AffectionateNickname: Occasionally called "Shishi" or "Shishiwaka" for short. Suzuka tends to use it a lot in the final arc, particularly when Shishiwakamaru's life is briefly in danger during the tournament preliminaries. His fangirls call him "Waka-sama."
* ApatheticCitizens: Is the only one of Kurama's Six Fighters to not express much passion in the Yusuke vs. Yomi debate, instead marking his vote as "undecided". Suzuki is quick to scratch out his vote and change it to "Yusuke".
* BigBadWannabe: For a minute there, it really looked like he'd be the next tough opponent. ...''He wasn't.''
* BreakTheHaughty: On the receiving end of this from Genkai.
* HeelFaceTurn: Once retconned into surviving his battle with Genkai.
* ItsAllAboutMe: He sort of acts like a celebrity and is obsessed with fame.
* MakeMeWannaShout: His sound's wailing can steal the souls of weaker beings who hear the sound and his attacks are based around sound in general.
* MrFanservice: Very much both in-universe fangirls and out.
* {{Retcon}}: Shishiwakamaru was clearly meant to be dead after Genkai defeats him. In the original Japanese version, Genkai even refers to him as "the late Shishiwakamaru" in her battle with Suzuki. But in the final TournamentArc, he's inexplicably alive and a good guy. One wonders if his real-life fangirls had some sort of influence on this decision.
* {{Samurai}}: Shishiwakamaru, patterned after the legendary hero [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minamoto_no_Yoshitsune Minamoto-no-Yoshitsune, aka Ushiwakamaru]], the samurai that was said to originate the term {{Bishonen}}.
* SleepModeSize: Maybe. When he reappears to train with Kurama, he's in an inexplicable bird-like form small enough to fit on Suzuki's shoulder. This form and its relative power/use compared to his bishie form are neither commented on nor explained.
%%* SmugSnake
%%* SplitPersonality: Shishiwakamaru fluxuates between a smug warrior and a bloodthristy berserker.
* TeamPrimaDonna: To both Team Uraotogi and the Six Fighters.
* TookALevelInBadass: With some training from Kuarama, he becomes an S class thus far Genkai who defeated him in a curbstomp battle.
* VillainousBreakdown: Shishiwakamaru goes ''ballistic'' once he realizes Genkai has the upper hand in their fight.

* BoisterousWeakling: [[spoiler: Summed up by Genkai that while he had plenty of tricks that helped him win fights, it was all a smokescreen to hide the fact that he had jack in terms of genuine strength or firepower. She punctuated the fact by beating the crap out of him.]]
* CurbStompBattle: After Shishiwakamaru was efficiently disposed of, ''then'' it looked like this guy would be the next tough customer... [[spoiler:He was even weaker.]]
* EvilerThanThou: Backed down scared rather than face Toguro at a fraction of his full strength (to clarify, Toguro was only powered at 3%).
* TheFightingNarcissist: Such is his vanity that he'd actually ''prefer'' to be made a legend without his face being shown, so those in the future would forever wonder how "the beautiful Suzuki" looked.

Also blasts a portion of the stadium that mocked him for not using this. He still insists on this, even after his HeelFaceTurn.
%%* ItsAllAboutMe
* JokeCharacter: Both [[ButtMonkey figuratively]] and literally, haha. When his true form is revealed, even the ''demon audience'' is embarrassed. Keep in mind, the people who have spent the entire tournament calling for Team Urameshi's heads on a pike are so turned off by [[spoiler: a flamboyant clown demon]] that they openly say that they have no idea what team to hate ''more''.
-->'''Hiei''': This idiot makes Kuwabara seem smart.\\
'''Kurama''': I admit, I'm embarrassed listening to him.
* TookALevelInBadass: Goes from a complete utter joke who had a team that almost completely relied on tools that provided gimmicks rather than genuine battle skills to a mid-tier S Class demon after being trained by Genkai who's able to hold off his own against other demons far more powerful than Toguro.
* TookALevelInKindness: Unlike Shishiwakamaru, who switched to the side of good while maintaining his prima donna attitude, Suzuka seems to be a lot more dedicated to Team Urameshi's cause following his defeat. He starts out by giving Kuwabara and Kurama vital devices to help hone their energy [[EnemyMine for the fight against Team Toguro]], and then is quick to express his support for Yusuke alongside Rinku, Chu, Jin, and Toya when Kurama asks how they feel about Urameshi facing off against Yomi (their boss). He even goes so far as to enthusiastically override Shishiwakamaru's vote of indifference on the matter, forcing the latter to side with Yusuke like the rest of them.
* TheTrickster: He's actually ''very'' powerful and tricky. He just has no Godamn idea how to properly use that power...
* TrueCompanions: Appears to have this feeling with [[spoiler: Shishiwakamaru, showing genuine fright when he thinks the latter was killed after getting swallowed whole in the preliminary round for the final tournament. The sight literally causes him to freeze up onscreen]].
* VillainousHarlequin: [[spoiler: Suzuka, who would be a MonsterClown if he wasn't such a source of comic relief. At least until his HeelFaceTurn.]]
* WeakButSkilled: He has an amazing capacity for spiritual energy--unfortunately, [[DeconstructedTrope he thought this was enough to make him strong.]] Grows out of this after his HeelFaceTurn.

Yu Kaito is a human who develops superhuman powers as a result of the demon plane hole opened by Sensui. He is a student at Meioh Private Academy where he constantly attempts to outdo Kurama for top grades. He is a master of the written word, having written several books and enjoys word puzzles.
His ability is "Taboo" which allows him to create word games that those within his territory must adhere to or their soul will be extracted from their body. While testing the limits of his power, Kaito breaks his Taboo and has his own soul sucked from his body, prompting Kido and Yanagisawa to consult Genkai to help him and explain their new powers.
In the manga, his last appearance shows him spending his day off mostly playing video games and writing.
----
* BadassPacifist: ''Literally''. His power completely bans violence of any kind, and the only way to beat him is to outsmart him in word games. Considering just how freaking intelligent the guy is, ''good luck.''
* BadassBookworm: While he's not exactly a fighter, he can keep his wits when 'fighting' others and is very, ''very'' booksmart.
* EvilGloating: Constantly gloats throughout his battle of wits, mockingly challenging Kurama to use words that they're about to lose access to, showing off his wide vocabulary and in general lording over the fact that he can speak normally with no effort despite losing more and more of the alphabet. However, this isn't a sign of foolishness as it usually would be - though Kurama half-heartedly suggests that he could get too excited showing off and make a mistake, they both know that Kaito is far too intelligent to actually mess up. Instead, the gloating itself shows of that he is far too skilled to defeat by his own rules, requiring drastic action.
* FourEyesZeroSoul: Seems this way when he first appears, [[spoiler: but proves to be more benevolent.]]
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: His taboo power also applies to him. Also, the plants he intended as mockery were essential to his defeat.
* InsufferableGenius: A villainous one at first, which probably came with the whole [[spoiler:"evil act" business]].
* MeaningfulName: Yu means ghost and Kaito means thief. One can only wonder why he steals the souls of up to three of our main characters.
* TheProblemWithPenIsland: If he makes a word taboo, anyone who says the syllables for it in succession loses their soul, regardless of whether it's two words formed together, such as "eac'''h ot'''her" for "hot".
* RealityWarper: His territory bans violence and imposes linguistical taboos which must be cleared.
* TheRival: Academically, to Kurama.
* TheStoic: He is extremely impassive and rarely panics or shows emotion other than mild amusement. Kurama ultimately defeats him by proving he is NotSoStoic and making him laugh at the worst possible moment, but [[spoiler: even afterwards he's the least affected of the human characters by the extraordinary or horrible things around them - in fact, when Kurama is forced to kill Amanuma, unlike everyone else - who are clearly bothered - the only reaction we see from Kaito is the shine from his glasses as he looks on as stony as ever. Only ''Hiei'' remained so cool in the same scene.]]
* SecretKeeper: [[spoiler: He is the only human who knows Kurama's whereabouts in the last arc.]]
* VillainBall: Though [[spoiler: the "villain" part is largely an act]], he puts a garden of exotic plants in his arena for no reason other than to mock Kurama's abilities - and despite usually being very careful, it seems to slip his mind that Kurama should still have access ''to'' those ablities. Since only ''violence'' isn't allowed in his territory, Kurama then uses those plants repeatedly to non-violently dismantle his plan.
* WordsCanBreakMyBones: If you say the Taboo word, you lose your soul.

Asato Kido is a human who develops superhuman powers as a result of the demon plane hole opened by Sensui. His ability, "Shadow", allows him to step on someone's shadow and incapacitate them. Along with Yu Kaito and Yanagisawa he seeks the aid of Genkai when his powers appear. It is shown that he also has limited control over his own shadow, using it to spell out his attackers name after he is paralyzed by Doctor. In his final manga appearance, Kido is shown to have been stood up by his date in a cinema while the narration says he is far too forgiving.
----
* TheBusCameBack: The doctor likely healed him.
* CouldntFindAPen: Uses his Shadow for this to tell Yusuke that Kamiya is the Doctor.
* CurbStompBattle: As Genkai [[DeadpanSnarker so kindly puts it]], if Yusuke's fight with Kaito was for real, he would've been deader than dead. Also receives one from Murota and one from Doctor.
* KnightOfCerebus: Two-ways. His appearance marks the point when the series takes a ''much'' darker and more mature turn, and when Yusuke comes to the realization that brawn and power alone hardly wins every fight.
