Kazuma Kuwabara

Shizuru Kuwabara (sister)

Overlord

Skeletor

Kazuma Kuwabara is a character from Yu Yu Hakusho and is a major supporting character in AniCity. The self-proclaimed second toughest punk of AniCity High (only behind his rival Yusuke Urameshi), he uses his trademark Spirit Sword to fight against the forces of evil.

## Personality

Kuwabara is consistently described as being stupid and ugly. However, he is extremely loyal to his friends and has a very strict code of honor. He would do anything for his friends and for love. He can be clumsy, reckless, rude and is also stubborn, persistent, and also has a great sense of humor. He doesn't give up a fight, even if he's injured. He has a temper, but not as bad as Yusuke's. He has a kind heart (being considered the kindest of the four main characters) and an honest nature. Also, he dislikes fighting girls, but will eventually fight them if he has to.

## History

### Pre-Series

Kuwabara is the second strongest delinquent at his high school, with Yusuke Urameshi being the first. Because of this, Kuwabara has spent most of his time trying to beat Yusuke, despite failing every time. After Yusuke died after saving a kid from being hit by a car, Kuwabara was saddened that his rival was gone supposedly for good. However, Yusuke's ghost was offered by the spirit world as a way to return to life. Using Kuwabara's latent psychic abilities to talk to him, Yusuke managed to bring himself back to life with Kuwabara's help. After being made into a Spirit Detective that sends demons who escape to Earth back to the spirit realm, Yusuke somehow kept getting involved with Kuwabara during cases. To assist his rival with his detective duties, Kuwabara awakened the Spirit Sword technique, letting him fight demons alongside Yusuke and the rest of his team.

## Skills & Weapons

* Spirit Sword

Kurama's signature weapon, which takes the form of a glowing orange energy sword made of Kuwabara's spirit energy. Kuwabara can summon the sword at will, though originally, he needed a catalyst to call it from. The blade is extremely sharp, and can cut through a wide variety of materials, though Kuwabara's lack of proper sword training makes his attacks with it rather clumsy. The Spirit Sword can also deflect energy attacks that it's swung at.

* Spirit Sword Javelin

Kuwabara can freely increase the length and size of his Spirit Sword, which can be used to attack from far away. While extending, the sword can also bend and twist to attack opponents.
* Spiritual Strike

By extending his Spirit Sword at the opponent and using his high spiritual awareness to lock onto their spirit energy signature, Kuwabara can have his sword home in on the target and chase them down until it reaches them
* Double Spirit Sword

A technique that lets Kuwabara manifest two Spirit Swords at once.
* Spirit Sword Shards

A technique that forms small blades of spirit energy and shoots them at the opponent. While it's Kuwabara's only projectile, it is much weaker than the Spirit Sword.

* Trial Sword

Using Jack's sword, Kuwabara can channel spirit energy into the blade, generating a prismatic blade of crackling spirit energy. When in use, the sword produces a crackling aura around Kuwabara, augmenting his offense and defense, and the blade can be shaped into a blunt weapon for non-lethal attacks
