The Yu Yu Hakusho manga originally ran in Weekly Shonen Jump from December 1990 to July 1994, while the anime ran on Fuji TV from October 1992 to December 1994.
Variety has reported that Takumi Kitamura, actor and vocalist/guitarist for the Japanese band Dish, will play Yusuke Urameshi in Netflix’s live-action Yu Yu Hakusho series.
Yu Yu Hakusho is set to premiere on Netflix in December of 2023, where it will stream worldwide simultaneously.
Kitamura was previously in the live-action version of Tokyo Revengers, where he played Takemichi Hanagaki, so this won’t be his first live-action anime adaptation.
