Yōko Kurama (妖狐 蔵馬 Yōko Kurama, literally “Spirit Fox Kurama”?, English manga “Fox Demon Kurama) was a cold hearted and ruthless Kitsune thief and the most feared bandit in Makai. In many instances, Kurama has shown to be very self-sacrificing in the interests of the safety of his friends and family. He is protective of those he cares about and is often merciless to anyone that poses them a threat, a shift in his usually friendly manner. His analytical nature is present in battle where he prefers to study the strengths and weaknesses of his opponents before devising a strategy of his own. Kurama is generally regarded as the most calm and level-headed member of the group. Note that Kurama generally refers to Kurama in his human form, whereas Kurama in his fox demon form is usually referred to as Fox Demon Kurama or Yōko Kurama the English-language manga uses “Fox Demon Kurama,” while the English anime uses “Yōko Kurama.” As there are several US dubs done by different companies, Kurama has had three English voice actors: John Burgmeier in the FUNimation version, Sean Barker in the Media Blasters dub, and Hideo Seaver in U.S. Kurama's seiyū are Megumi Ogata for his human form, and Shigeru Nakahara as Yōko Kurama. He is one of the wiser and more intelligent characters in the series.


His ability is in manipulating plants, and he generally wields a whip created from a rose vine, complete with thorns.
