Biography
YUSUKE WAS BORN TO FIGHT AND REBORN TO DEFEND THE WORLD.

Yusuke Urameshi was always seen as a delinquent, always getting into fights, feared by his peers and hated by his teacher. However one day he surprised even the Spirit World by sacrificing his life to save a child from a speeding car. Due to the surprise of his death he became a ghost but this act of selflessness as well as several other in death allowed him to return to life and become the Spirit Detective of Earth, tasked to defend the human world from rogue demons.

THE LEGACY OF YUSUKE:
 * Yu Yu Hakusho: Dark Tournament - PS2 (2004)
 * Yu Yu Hakusho Forever - PS2 (2005)
 * The Battle of Yū Yū Hakusho: Shitō! Ankoku Bujutsu Kai - PS2 (2007)

Opening
Yusuke and Kuwabara are heading off to class when Botan flies in to tell Yusuke that Koenma has a message for him. Botan opens up her case to play Koenma's video message which warns Yusuke about a powerful flux of engery that's crossing over into their world. He says they have to assume that this energy is being cased by a powerful demon and that he's being given a case to track him down and take him out. Yusuke, more than willing to blow off school, tell Kuwabara to take notes for him while he's gone and he and Botan fly off, leaving Kuwabara behind yelling back to him.

Rival
Name: Ichigo Kurosaki

Reason: Yusuke is on his case tracking down an extremely powerful demon when he senses a high spiritual presence that turns out to be Ichigo. Yusuke confronts Ichigo about whether or not he's who he's looking for but Ichigo blows him off and the two's more stand-offish personalities clash. After Yusuke implies that the size Ichigo's sword is compensating for something Ichigo has enough and Yusuke happily accepts his challenge.

Connection: Both are popular heroes in Shonen Jump manga. In addition Bleach is often considered the spirtual successor to Yu Yu Hakusho due to their similar themes, lead characters, and the idea of a high school student using supernatural powers that he happened into to fight against a threat that normal people can't see, eventually finding out that people around him also share similar gifts.

Ending
After defeating Polygon Man, Yusuke is seen walking with Kuwabara back home from school. He tells Kuwabara about how he defeated Polygon Man and that since then he's felt stronger from some kind of new energy he received after defeating him. Kuwabara is bummed out that not only did Yusuke leave him behind in class, but now he's even more powerful. He also tells Yusuke that Keiko is mad at him for ditching school again and a furious Keiko catches up with them and tells Yusuke that he's going to be sorry. Yusuke then runs off with Keiko chasing after him and Kuwabara says no matter how strong Yusuke gets, he'll never be strong enough to deal with her.

Gameplay
Yusuke is a mixed attacker with a balance of melee and projectile attacks ranging from short to medium-long range. He's also a very quick and agile brawler, moving about the same speed as Raiden. Yusuke is fairly easy to perform combos with if he's being used effectively.
