Suiichi Minamino / Youko Kurama

Kurama is a very old demon fox named Ryouko, with nine tails. He was one of the best known theives of the Maikai (demon world). At one point, he was caught and shot by a hunter and so, severly wounded he came to the human world to be re-born.

When Kurama was re-born in the human world, as Shuiichi Minamino, he learned the meaning of love and compassion from his human mother. He risked his life to save hers at one point. This has earned him Yuusuke's respect. He became a Spirit World Detective and helps Yuusuke with his missions. His human body is 15-18 years old depending on where you are in the show. While his demonic form is over 1000, and even this varies, I haven't reached an explanation in the manga yet but of course I can't read straight Japanese as well as I wish I did. He's pretty old, and I would assume at some point one would loose track of one's own age anyway.

Some of his techniques are: Rose Whip - A whip with thorns that can slice through stone like butter and through steel. Fuuka Enbu Jin -He can also create a torrent of razor sharp rose petals to rain down around him.   Youko Kurama has perfect control over all Maikai plants (this includes the nasty blood sucking kind) Shuiichi can control human world plants. Shimaneki - demon world grass, Kurama can plant the seed on an opponent and it will grow in the unknowing host untill it binds their action. Upon Kurama's request it will bloom, bursting the blood vessels of the opponent, killing them. Tsukeyaki Blade Kurama turns a blade of grass into a sword. Katate de Ichigeki (One handed blow) Simple move used against Roto in the Ankoku Bujutsukai.
