PERSONALITY

Kurama is a Youkai, a powerful fox-demon that lived in the demon world. He was a ruthless mercenary during that time, but one instance he was badly injured in one of his quests and decided to escape to the human world, into the womb of his human mother Shiori Minamono. He was then reborn and raised as a human named Shuichi Minamono, and because of this tender loving care he felt with his mother he wasn't able to leave and head back to the demon world. Then his mother got sick, and this is where he got to meet Yusuke, to help save her. Since then Kurama has been a part of Yusuke's missions, helping him in anyway with his intellectual capability. Perhaps one of the smartest characters in the series, Kurama uses his intelligence to gain the upper hand instead of an all out strength attack. At one point one of his enemies in the Toguro tournament transforms him back into his old self, the fox-demon, and there his powers were once again unleashed. Kurama's aspiration is to forget the horrible times he had when he was a fox-demon, and to live happily ever after with his human family.
