Yusuke Urameshi, the main character of Yu Yu Hakusho, looking confused.

It was announced in 2020 that Yu Yu Hakusho would be brought to life. When Dragon Ball Z came to the US in 2003 it was overshadowed by One Piece and One Piece was a hit in Japan. Since then, the series has not been made public by the streaming service. The main man is the first one to get a slow roll out of the main cast.

Takumi Kitamura will be taking over the role of Yusuke UrameShi. A kid is saved from being hit by a car in the Manga. The act of heroism is enough for Botan, a ferry for the spirit world, to give him the chance to return to his body and become a spirit detective. He gains the power to shoot a spirit gun from his pointer finger, something that never ceases to look cool.

Kitamura plays Takemichi Hanagaki in the Tokyo Revengers movie, which is a live action adaptation of a Japanese animation. I Want to Eat Your Pancreas is one of his previous works. He has lent his voice to many different types of animation.

The upcoming One Piece series and Cowboy Bebop adaptation are being developed at a different location. With any luck, Yu Yu Hakusho will end up going in the win column. It wouldn't hurt for them to last longer than one season.
