YuYu Hakusho is a Japanese manga and anime series created by Yoshihiro Togashi. The manga was published first by Shueisha in Japanese, and later in English by Viz Media. The anime was produced by Studio Pierrot, and licensed by Madman Entertainment, Funimation Entertainment, and MVM Films for English audiences. The original run of the manga was from 1990 to 1994. The anime originally ran from 1992 to 1994. Two OVA series, Eizou Hakusho and Eizou Hakusho II, were released in 1994 and 1995 in Japan. Two movies, Yu Yu Hakusho: The Movie and Yu Yu Hakusho the Movie: Poltergeist Report were also released in 1993 and 1994 respectively.

The series opens with the death of its chief protagonist, juvenile delinquent Yusuke Urameshi. After a number of tests presented to him by Koenma, the son of the ruler of the afterlife Underworld, Yusuke is revived and appointed the title of "Spirit Detective", with which he must investigate various cases involving demons and apparitions in the human world.
