The star behind Yusuke in Netflix's new Yu Yu Hakusho series has broken his silence about joining the production:
Yu Yu Hakusho will soon be making its grand return with a new live-action series in the works with Netflix, and the main star behind its Yusuke Urameshi has broken their silence on joining the new adaptation! Yoshihiro Togashi's classic action and manga franchise is often held in high regard as one of the best to ever do it.
First confirmed to be in the works back in December 2020, Shueisha, TOHO, and ROBOT are working with Netflix on a new live-action series for Yu Yu Hakusho that's being touted as an adaptation of the manga with Takumi Kitamura cast as the lead, Yusuke Urameshi. Kitamura is the first member of the cast revealed thus far, and broke his silence about joining the adaptation for such a massive franchise.
Speaking to IGN about the casting , Kitamura stated the following about becoming Yusuke for the new Yu Yu Hakusho series,"The original work is a universal and unique masterpiece and a reason why Japan is so proud of its strong manga and anime culture. I am happy to share the masterpiece of Yu Yu Hakusho with the world and I hope we can create something people everywhere will enjoy." Now it's just a matter of seeing whether or not it lands.
Netflix's Yu Yu Hakusho live-action series is currently scheduled for a worldwide release some time next year, but there are still many details left to fill out as fans wonder exactly what to expect from the new take on the franchise. Thankfully it has been confirmed that Sho Tsukikawa will be directing the new series alongside Kazutaka Sakamoto as executive producer and Teru Morii as producer.
