Yu Yu Hakusho

Yu Yu Hakusho: Ghost Files (幽☆遊☆白書, Yū Yū Hakusho) is a Japanese anime based on the manga created by Yoshihiro Togashi. It consists of 112 television episodes and was directed by Noriyuki Abe and co-produced by Fuji Television, Yomiko Advertising, and Studio Pierrot. The television series originally aired on Japan's Fuji Television network from October 10, 1992 to January 7, 1995.

Dubbing History
Yu Yu Hakusho was licensed in North America by FUNimation Entertainment in 2001, being among the first anime properties outside of the Dragon Ball franchise to be dubbed by them. ADR director Justin Cook made significant contributions to the dub, not only directing and producing the dub, but also providing the voice of the main protagonist.

The American-produced English dubbed episodes aired from February 23, 2002 to April 1, 2006 on Cartoon Network, initially airing on its Adult Swim block, before being moved to its Toonami block. Some of the show's original depictions of mature content including violence, sexual humor, and coarse language, as well as some controversial cultural discrepancies were edited out for broadcast.

For the series' Blu-Ray re-release in 2011, the dub was given a remaster, with Cook stating that the production staff made minor improvements to their recordings, such as redubbing certain lines, cleaning up the dialogue, and removing "arrant anomalies". One example, the character Suzuki's name was originally dubbed as "Suzuka" in an attempt not to conflict with the Suzuki Motor Corporation. The remastered version undid this.

An English dub produced by Animax was aired in English-speaking territories in Asia, based on FUNimation's scripts. An earlier English dub was produced during the 1990's for the Philippines under the title of Ghost Fighter. This version of the dub localized the characters' names, such as changing "Yusuke" to "Eugene."
