The second-toughest
punk in Sarayashiki High, and also my favorite character from
Yu Yu Hakusho. Kuwabara! There was no one else it could've been. I have a weakness for tough guys who secretly love kittens.

I'm pretty sure his name is some kind of pun, because the Japanese typically say "kuwabara kuwabara" in the same way we use "knock on wood". Since he has much higher spiritual awareness than the average person and is always sensing ghosts around him as a "tickly feeling", I'm sure Kuwabara wants to knock on wood a lot!

As you've no doubt already deduced, his outfits often leave his chest exposed.

He has the power to make a cool energy sword with his spirit energy.

Here he is in his usual clothes (his school uniform). But don't worry, readers! Since this
is my blog, he'll be taking his shirt off in about two seconds.

See?

Yes, he is much improved shirtless.

Oh well! I guess we'll just have to wonder! (my money's on yes)


Kuwabara is a pretty badass dude.

. . . But he's also a total goof.









Here he is sacrificing some of his life energy to save Yusuke, his bestest bud/rival. D'aww, what a sweet guy!



I'll admit right here that Yusuke/Kuwabara was my YYH OTP. It was made somewhat easier once
Kuwabara dreamed about kissing Yusuke. (context is for the weak)
