Ok I dont know much about Yu Yu Hakusho. I have only seen it 5 times on toonami and once on Adult Swim. But anyway I was on webshots and a pic popped up with Kurama and Hiei hugging eachother in a loving way like they were gay. Are they gay? Or did someone out their have a gay fantasy of them?

Actually, although they don't get together in the series, there are suggestions throughout the series that they COULD become a couple. *sigh* And they would look so cute together too!

But anyways, that answers your question, Ja for now!

Ok…I have done ALLOT of research on this including reading the manuscripts translated into English (for those who think they are gay in Japan) Their(gay) is part of the fanflick movement that started over in Japan. That means that they MADE UP their OWN ides of what happens. So is the art your looking at that shows them cuddling. I also had the same question you did about them so I did the research. The reason they are best friends and know each other so well is they worked together (well kurama was a younger human) they did this for a year to take down a evil demon. The reason they show such attachment for each other is because they have fought side by side and saved each others lives. THAT is why Kurama during the dark tournaments goes after Hiei in the woods to see if he is ok. They are used to fighting together and protecting each other. The original manuscripts point this out. SO they are NOT gay, but several people have made art of them being gay and have written stories about them together as lovers.

Yes, I think that they are gay. Yu Yu Hakusho was actually partlty made by a company that makes romance mangas. GAY ROMANCE MANGAS! So yeah, sorry laddies, but Karama's heart belongs to Hiei. lol snicker snicker

Monkeyman have you bothered to read the Japanese to English translation of that show? I have read all of them, and none of them suggested that they are gay. Maybe you should do a little research before you shoot off your mouth. I would advice you to use your brain to educate yourself before you make a statement. Yes there are even comics of them in sexual foreplay, but those are marketed OUT SIDE of the series. Those are from fans that WANTED them to be gay. That does not make them gay in the original series. As for the company that produced them, on that I can make no comment because I have not researched it yet. I will research if they are the ones that originally made the series or if they are part of the movement that made their own flicks about the series. BTW by your assessment Batman and Robin would be gay, because I could find about 20,000 pic comics and cartoons showing them in sexual foreplay and having sex.. Hiei and Kurama are no more gay then batman and robin. No one can stop people from depicted two cartoon characters as gay if gay people want to make them that way.

i think they look good together if y ask me they act gay even i like kurama i wrote a fanfic about him and me ^^ i can't help it i love kurama and hiei sides if the people who made YYH are soooo cool *thank god they are* i think they would of made them gay

They aren't gay. The only one Hiei would ever love is his sister, sorry if this was a spoiler for anyone. Kurama loves his mother, not Hiei. People hug all the time, so what? Yoai dojinshi is different from the straight story, no pun intended. It is true that the American version is different from the Japanise version. Go watch that.

PS. not gay

i personally think they are NOT gay and are just really good friends. i hug my friends all the time.i know guy friends that hug each other and they have girlfriends and are definitly not gay.it's not uncommon for friends to hug every once in awhile(guy or girl)i've heard rumors that Kurama is gay and falls in love with hiei and hiei falls in love with a girl but i don't beleive them.rumors are normally fake and i think this one is definitly FAKE -Kyoko

I'm my opinion, they are totally NOT gay...I think the person that started that idea just let their mind wander a little to far...Hiei is way to, um, evil, to like anyone for that matter. And Kurama, I don't know, but he just seem the gay type. They are just best friends and they protect each other, 'cause that's what best friends do! So, Hiei and Kurama are NOT gay!!!!!

Ps: And anyone who thinks otherwise, I'm sorry but, you have one sick, twisted mind...

HEY the only reason why kurama looks gay is becease he has that rose but. thats his weopon becease he has a youko mind and used by forest demons so he and hiei ARE NOT GAY get that sick ppl they are not GAY. so leave them alone you ani kuramas

Cause i read that once and it doesnt seem like something Hiei would do. ~.O

Hiei and Kurama are not gay. It has been proven that the creator never intended it but because so many fans like the idea (I have no clue why) They weren't about to object the fact the Hiei and Kurama could be considered lovers because of all the profits they were getting. so basically, it's a fan thing.

-- Anonymous, April 13, 2003

Uhh... well... my friend is the YYH EXPERT!!! She knows everything, and is honest. She sworn she saw the two kissing. And I have seen the pic myself. It is 100% real. The creator didn't INTEND them to be a couple, but that doesn't mean that he changed his mind, or didn't. I am really not sure...

-- Anonymous, April 14, 2003

Ahem...I've been a fan of this show...quite a while before it was introduced on Cartoon Network, and I have the complete manga, dvd's and all that.(I'm a Yu Yu Hakusho addict. ^_^) Anyway, the true story is as follows. Togashi, who is also married to the creator of sailor moon, does support gay couples, and has written them into his manga Yu Yu Hakusho(i.e. Itsuki x Sensui). Nonetheless, Hiei and Kurama were intended by him to be straight(he didn't really do anything concerning their lovelives, besides a maybe Kurama x Maya and Hiei x Mukuro, so we were supposed to assume they were ) However with whole yaoi/june revolution with the girls worldwide now into that sort of thing, the general public, being that there was no blatant opposition, assumed they were lovers. When Togashi was asked on it, he said he didn't intend for them to be gay, but that he will not make them straight either. He proclaimed it for the readers to make up their own minds for what they wanted them to be.

As for me, even though there is no logical reason to make me suspect them to be lovers, I assume they are....I think they look good together.

my rant has ended.

If you just want a clear yes or no answer, then no, the writer of the yu yu hakusho manga, on which the anime was based, has stated that he never intended Hiei and Kurama to be a couple, just good friends. However, Monkeyman makes a good point in that there is nothing stopping the company that animated the show from adding their own bias. Even if the animators where not trying to make them a couple, it also isn't uncommon for animators to throw in some suggestive shots, as a sort of fan service for fans of shonen ai (literally: "boy love", Japanese slang for male/male relationships). I have seen several official pictures that show Kurama with his arm around Hiei that seem to have been produced simply to make shonen ai fans want to watch the show. The picture you saw also may have been from a doujinshi (fan made comic). Hiei and Kurama are one of the most popular non-canon shonen ai couples of all time, and even someone who realizes they aren't a couple in the canon must admit it makes a lot more sense then some other non-canon couples doujinshi writers throw together, because they are close and get along so well.

Also, I feel the need to respond to what -- ?????????? (BabyAngelxX1112@hotmail.com). had to say, it being perhaps the most blatantly offensive and ignorant of several blatantly offensive and ignorant posts on this board. 1) Calling someone a “dumbass” for stating a differing opinion, or worse, asking a simple question, is childish. (especially when your post made my computer’s spellchecker have an aneurysm). 2) “y would they put gay pplz in there show if it's all bout fighting!”= barefaced homosexual stereotype #1. Animes have homosexual characters, who are also good fighters, all the time. I’ll refer you to Yami no Matsui, Fushigi Yuugi, or (need I say it?) Sailor Moon. 3) “even thought Kurama looks lik a girl”= boldfaced homosexual stereotype #2. 4) “one is short and one is tall! it doesn't make any sense!” Heh, well, you’ve obviously not a big yaoi fan, and I’m not going to explain to you how these things work….geez, don’t they teach you kids anything in health class anymore?

ppl, im japanese, my homeland is japan. my uncle works for funimation, so i'd think i'd know if they're gay or not. truthfully, i'd have to say that they're not gay. now here's a good reason why. that is because in the japanese version, kurama is a girl, and hiei is still a male, so therefore they can't be gay. if you're talking about the american version, they're gay. don't be fooled by yaoi fanfics. they are made up by bored people like myself. i mean, i write fanfics myself about hiei and kurama being paired up, but that doesn't mean they're gay. it's just your own personal thinking. if what you want to think is that they are gay, then fine. no one can change your opinion.

They're not lovers just good frinds. I mean they've been friends for many years. They protect,trust,care,and fight togther for each other like good friends do. And just because they're always together doesn't mean they're lovers just really good friends in my opinion. I'm always with my good friends,does that mean we're all lovers? Of course not just like Hiei and Kurama. Besisdes they're both way to hot to be lovers. I like them both. Hiei and Kurama are the hottest guys I've seen in YYH and Yusuke too. And they aren't lovers.

This arguement is very funny. It's almost a replay of what happened on YYH online chats a couple of years ago when YYH was playing and popular in Japan. Don't get me wrong. I'm GLAD people care enough to get so worked up about Kurama and Hiei's sexuality. It's just that...you can't really prove anything. The anime and manga never give the solid "evidence" either way that people are looking for. As previously mentioned, the creator of YYH stated that Kurama and Hiei's relationship was up the the reader to decide. One thing is certain though: Kurama and Hiei are one of the most popular couples in the yaoi (male/male relationships) fanfiction and doujinshi fandom. Fans just decided that they made a cute couple. ^_^

-- Anonymous, June 07, 2003

Personaly, at first I hated this coupling and thought anyone who believed in it was a sick freak. That's hen I reliazed I was a homophob. Anyone who thinks that people who like this couple, check if your a homophob. They might make a horrible couple, but they still could be a good couple. And for every one who uses he 'Just because they're friends doesn't mean they're gay.' or the 'I hug myy friends too.' lines, that is extremly stupid. Sure I hug other girls and I'm not gay, j but some people I know hug their friends of the smae sex and are gay. Just because that's you doesn't mean that is the same explination for Hiei and Kurama. You guys should all just agree to disagree. Some of you like the Hiei/Kurama couple, some don't. There is one thing I have to say about that. GET OVER YOURSELFS YOU IDIOTD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO WHAT IF THEY'RE GAY!!! IT DOESN'T EFFECT YOU EITHER WAY IN THE LEAST BIT!!!!!!!! BELIEVE WHATEVER THE HELL YOU WANT TO BELIEVE JUST DON'T GO YELLING AT PEOPLE FOR BELIEVING DIFFRENTLY LIKE A JACKASS!!!!!!!!!! Okay, I'm done now. Only one thing left to say. What does it maatter to you, believe what you want to and be happy you get the freedom to believe that.

Okay. Here's da scoop. Kurama and Hiei ARE NOT GAY. Never were. Chance they might in the future cause we know how many people out there like yaoi. If Kurama is gay, I say Yusuke should dump Keiko like a sack of potatos, and get Kuri-kun! ^^ People do create "What if?" Kind of comics. *forgets the name of the kind* And Hiei and Kurama are SOMETIMES GAY. Same goes for Botan and Shizuru...wait? The the princess tenshi senshi JUST SAY THAT?! O.O Moving right along, thank-you. In short, it's what you think, not others. I have seen some -graphic- pictures of Hiei and Kurama and I wish not to talk about them. I believe tey make a cute couple, but I do not believe they are gay. Arigato for hearing me out! *grabs her ice master Touya plushie and walks away, glomping it*

Hiei is not gay. Kurama is not gay. Although I don't know who Kurama should have, my opinion is that Hiei belongs to Mukuro.

I think Kurama and Kayko would go pretty well together but Kayko is already taken. oh, --Dunno, what is wrong with boys wearing pink? He;s not wearing the bright girly kind of pink, he's wearing the dull reddish boy-type pink. If I'm wrong tell me because I never wear pink and if I do, somebody has to force and threaten me to.

Alright, please no one yell at me, but I personally agree with whoever it was that said they were bi, simply because of the differences between the American and the Japanese versions. But it's wierd that Kurama's a girl in that one. *twitch* They can be whatever you want them to be, but I'm about 90% sure that they're not lovers (although I'll admit they'd make such a shibby couple), since there's not really any evidence to prove that they're together. And don't say that you've seen pictures of them hugging, since I can't draw at all, and I could fix a picture (of maybe Hiei and Yukina) then replace Yukina with Kurama to make it look like it was Hiei and Kurama.

Plus, would Hiei really get together with someone that tried to kill him before? Just an added note. ^^

Hiei and Kurama are not gay. And for those of you who are saying that only Kurama is gay, then you're very wrong. I like Hiei better than Kurama but to answer truthfully, I think that Kurama is less gay than Hiei. Just because he where's pink or has long pink hair doesn't mean he's gay. Technically, the true meaning of gay means to be attracted to a member of the same sex... therefore the way he looks doesn't make him any gayer. There's just something about his personality that makes him look very straight.

P.S. i HATE gay people

Here's a decent answer: There really isn't a way to tell. This is an argument that's bounced around for a good long while. It depends on how a particular person thinks. Fanfictions, doujinshi, whatever -- yeah, it's fans, there. I can't say either way, but I'd have to assume they weren't in the series. It seems there's a lot of animosity between people who think they are and aren't, though, so one doesn't ever really know. It's probably whatever one was exposed to when they were still forming opinions on the series, as well as one's predispositions to the expression of love between two individuals. It may well be that they are, or it could just as easily be that they aren't. There is no definite answer.

THIS IS A VERRRRRRRRRY BIG SPOILER SO IF YOU DON'T WANT A BIG SPOILER SKIP THIS!!!!!! Ok, here's the deal. Kurama, rather Youko, has had sex, in the series. WITH A FEMALE YOUKO!!! most people, even the best of the Kurama fans, don't know that Youko has a son. He is also a Youko and his name in Kinno. It means "Golden". He bears that name because his tail and mane and all other colors of hair is GOLD! The YYH Urameshi team, besides kurama who already knew, learn this some time after the Dark Tournament. There's proof people! And about Hiei, he is to devoted to his sister's protection it have time for a relationship. So stivk that in yer pipe and smoke it ya damn yaoi lovers!!!

Okay...I must have a sick mind or something, but I think they belong to eachother! For god sakes, I have seen pics of their kids! How did that happen? I, and many others I know, support that Kurama and Hiei are a couple, m/m or not. Call me what you want, I have no heart anyway. Heh, heh.

Ok,First of all for all you people who say there Gay!, but ARE SO NOT!!!!, and are saying that we suck just cause we say that there not, maybe your gay, and if they give eachother a hugg in a pic maybe that pic isn't true, I mean a lot of people that make the show just put it there to show. Besides Hiei is the kind of guy that doesn't do that. And there are guys that always give huggs to eachother, so for whoever thinks they are gay, You have your mind in the trash, totaly and think totaly nasty, I'm writing this cause Hiei and Kurama are good friends like Yusuke and Kuwabara, and I KNOW THAT THEY ARE NOOOOOOOOOT GAY!!!! People get that out of your system. There to cool to be gay. WOW! I'm probably the one who made the longest comment or not. Well I made my point. C Yaa^_^ Hiei and Kurama fan.

PS Hiei and Kurama ARE NOT GAY!

Well I belive that everyone is entitled to there own answer, so heres mine. I honestly don't think they are gay,yes theres alot of supporting information but I beg to differ.Besides very good friends hug and mabye they are good friends.....but it's not Hiei Im worried about it's kurama he dose act a bit more femenin than the others and sense when dose it acure to boy to wear pink? (But no affence to the people who think he's cute.)Well that is my answer.(P.S Jenny's my cousin.:]

Okay... this got me REALLY mad because I'm A HUGE Hiei fan so hold your breath! You see... In the japanese version...AND/OR manga, Kurama and Hiei ARE gay! I know, you probably think I'm insane but I'm serious! Anyway, funimation thought it was GREAT except for that detail... So they dubbed all parts of them together out with a Yukina or Kuwabara part...

There is NO WAY that Hiei and Kurama are gay. They're best friends and Hiei is too shy to do any of that shit and Kurama is too sophisticated. Whoever says they're gay should burn in hell or watch the show on Cartoon Network at 6:30pm.

Dude! I like Hiei because I think he's cool and I know that he would never be gay with Kurama!

Ahh, the age-old question that has American fans either screaming out of sheer joy or disgust.

No, Kurama and Hiei are not gay. When confronted with that question, Togashi literally broke down into tears with "no, I did not create them to be gay." Over half of the "webshots" you see are doujinshi, yaoi doujinshi, mainly because of Kurama being a popular bishonen. Note that most of the yaoi/slash pairings are aesthetic reasons.

Gay fantasy? Most likely, fangirls can corrupt the world if they put their minds to it.

As for the post referring to a friend who is an expert on YYH...sorry, but unless your friend is Yoshihiro Togashi himself, or his wife, then they are not an expert. Even if they live in Japan, they are not an expert.

Another small bit on simle netiquette, avoid the caps lock button. You're shouting and hurting our eyes. By the way, if you're going to respond, at least look smart in doing it by actually typing what you mean. Don't leave us veterans assume what you mean...it hurts our heads.

Personally,I'm a supporter of both.I've written fanfics where Kurama and Hiei are shonen ai but then I've written ones where they aren't.It should be up to the reader as to if they think Hiei and Kurama are shonen ai or not.So,can we all just get off the subject and move on with our lives?

-- Anonymous, July 28, 2003

YOU ARE ALL A BUNCH OF DAMN HOMOPHOBES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay, got that out of my system.

One, why the hell would Togashi break down in tears when asked if Kurama and Hiei are gay? HE CREATED GAY PAIRINGS IN THE SERIES, WHY CRY OVER THIS ONE!!!!!!!!!!

Two, I've been researching this very idea for over a year now. At first I was disgusted by my two fav bishis even thought of being gay. Well, I found I was a homophobe, so any one else that is disgusted probly too.

Three, in an interview with Togashi, he was asked if there was something between Hiei and Kurama. His reply was, 'That's up to the fans to decide. I would hate to crush some of there hopes by saying they are, and I would hate to lose most of my fans by saying they aren't.' Then he was asked if he himself knew gay people. he answered with a definite yes. When asked were he came up with Kurama he said 'Kurama is an almost exact replaca of my friend.' When asked if said friend was gay he just smiled and replied 'That's for me to know.'

Four, why the fuck does it matter to you? If they are gay will you stop watching the show? If so stop alreadym, you must not have met the canon guy/guy pairings, cause there are.

Five, who ever said Kurama had a kid, I want proof. Besides, his youko sefl had quote 'thosands of lovers' unquote. It never says if they were other fox demon, or if they were even girls or not.I mean, with such a sensual being such as youko Kurama, I don't think he really cares what he's fucking.

Well, that's all for my rants. And remember, it's up to the fans to decied, so, you all may be right, but I sure as hell think that all demons are bi. Demons seem to have a hell of a lot less ristrictions than humans, and being straight and gay is a restriction. Demons probly don't give a damn what sex they are having sex with. Oosuke.

-- Anonymous, July 28, 2003

In the series, those two aren't gay but still...neither have a lover and they DO look kind of sweet together...considering the fact that Kurama looks like a girl...so for that reason Hiei x Kurama IS and WILL be the only yaoi couple I will ever like...

They arn't gay and anyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot all your proof that they are just cracks me up, you guys need to learn friendship or is it just because two people hang out together they are in love, I guess this means all the guys off YYH are gay the girls are lesbians, or mabey they all are head over heals for each other and can't make up their mind, GET REAL, they are so NOT GAY!!!!

-- Anonymous, July 30, 2003

Listen to me people. First of all they are both straight. Second there id proven evidence that they aren't gay. But, there is also evdence that they are. So I've found out that they aren't in most of the stories I translated from the japanese script says that Kurama liked a human girl but couldn't be with her because of what he is, and I have picyures and stories that Hiei loves Moruko ( the lady who is training him to be her Hier.) So in conclusion they are not gay, Kurama rules, and... yes, whoever says their gay sucks, and has either a bad sense of humor or is gay, or has a sick, sick, mind.;)

In my opinion, they are. I don't mind. I still love those demons. ^_^ Through my eyes, the hinting of their realtionship is obvious. I believe in the 'more than just friends' relationships. Which I think Hiei and Kurama are more than friends. People who hate that couple can just kiss ass. Since they're so simple minded and are immature.

But hey, I KNOW some people won't agree, that's fine. And for people who agree, you rock! I can't prove that they're a couple, and no one can prove that they're not a couple. So basically, it's up to you to decide, Kain. Only 5? Watch YYH a little more. Maybe you'll know what we mean.

Um...the author never really gave a straight answer. Whoever said he did is full of it. Considering that (since there are many who are fans of them being together) he would lose a lot of fans if he said they weren't...and he would probably lose a lot of fans if he said they weren't. He basically said he started off with them being straight but than it became questionable and so left it to our imaginations.

And to all you other idiots, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING GAY! Damn, not liking a character cause they could be is just plain old stupid and homophobic. If your gonna say something like that I suggest you come to terms with your own sexuallity and leave everyone else alone...

Back to the original question, it was never actually stated they are together. It's just been assumed. It's basically up to the fan.

They are not gay. Although one might think they are because of all the fan fictions and pictures to boot, but they are the best of friends and nothing you ningens say will ever change that. *though they do make a really cool couple!*

-- Anonymous, August 06, 2003

They cannot be gay! I don't care if they ARE gorgeous, heavenly bishies, it doesn't seem right. In the manga I read that Kurama while being in school, got a crush on a girl he knew who, if I'm not mistaken, had a thing for him too. I'm hoping I'm not getting a bogus manga. Hiei doesn't seem capable of loving anyone but his sister Yukina (even though I think Hiei x Botan would look cute!^_^). Even though my best friend is completely obsessed with him. Even if you saw them hugging in a loving way, how else do you hug people? You don't hug people who you hate. They are best friends and best friends hug, regardless of their gender. You must have come across a doujinshi scan. I've seen some pairings that you would not believe! But to get back to the point: It's a fan thing, and in my opinion, it would be a law against nature if they were gay.

P.S. I've been to many of their gay sites unintentionally and just needed to rant and vent.

They ARE gay... I went to the mall and bought a japenese Yu Yu Hakusho DVD. They spoke japenese and it just had subtitles. It said on the cover *Meant for ages 17+.. On one of the episodes, the first season... Kurama runs up to Hiei and kisses him! (On the lips for like 3 seconds.)

Okay, first off: I changed my view on those two. Due to complaining emails and after actually watching the show, i finally realize that THEY ARE NOT GAY! and who the f**k is the person who seems to love watching Kurama kiss Hiei on T.V. because you obviously made that up because I have spoken to some of the people (that helped with the show) through emails and such that the creator did not want them to be gay!!!!!! So shut up and stop emailing me! >.< Domo Arigatou!

NO they are not gay. its just people like to make STUPID pictures of them. its funny whenever hiei saids about kuwabara thats cool. kuwabara is a big STUPID character. the story is yusuke becomes a spirit detective and he goes to different places. if i could be on there i would be around kurama mosty and be crushing on him. he is cute in both forms.

This is not a stupid question, though some answers leave much to be desired in the intelligence aspect. I have loved this fandom for a long time. And I agree with the people that say it's up to the watcher. They sure as hell can be seen as friends, hell I am not gay and I act that way with some of my friends. But I personally can and like to see them as a gay couple. No I'm not estranged, no I'm not a dumbass, I'm human and a very basic part of being human is having opinions, and them being gay is my opinion, you people shouldn't knock other peoples opinions cuz there is almost nothing you can do to change them. And as for those out there that say the can't be gay because they could never fall in love with the other or because Hiei or Kurama are theirs, grow up, I'm respecting your opinions but to say they can't be gay on the flimsy excuse that Hiei is so bad he can't love, or because you write fan fics where you and Kurama get together is just childish. There, I'm done now, and if you have any beef with me, e-mail me just for the childish pleasure of being able to block your e-mail address from my account.

Ok people. I read through ALL the comments and all I have to say to you guys is that everyone has their own opinion. Some don't want them to be gay because they are "too hot" to be gay and others say they are together because they "look so cute." Either way, there's no right or wrong answer. Togashi already said it; they aren't straight and they aren't gay. It's up to the readers to decide.

If you want them to be gay, play with your fantasies. If you don't want them to be gay, admire their friendship. Either way, I see no point to this arguement and discusion.

So to answer your question Kain:

You watch the TV show and investigate. Then afterwards, YOU decide for yourself whether they are or are not gay.

~o God this is embarressing~ they r not gay that is just a sick rumor. Reasons: 1.the creator himself said that they weren't meant 2 b a couple. 2.they r best friends. saying that they r a couple is like saying Goku & Vegeta r a couple. 3.they stay close 2 each other during battle b/c they are covering each other's back's & it usually helps 2 stay close when doing so. 4.you'll never find any pics of them "intimate-like" that a person hasn't drawn i hope those r enough reasons. if not i'll post more just ask me 2. oh and by the way hiei is mine!

Kurama and Hiei would be a good couple. Afterall, they go together so well. Hiei is the quite, dark moodly type while Kurama is the smart, nice one. Kurama always looks at Hiei in the shows and Hiei never seems to want to hurt the fox human, even when Kurama jumped infront of Yuske to save him in "The Three Eyes of Hiei" Hiei looked like he was shocked and worried that he hurt Kurama. Krama and Hiei protect each other and Kurama trys to help Hiei with his problems, so YES Kurama and Hiei would make a PERFECT couple!!!

OK, first to answer the original question, in the shows you will see on Cartoon Network they are never portraied as homosexual. On a side note even if they were in the original Japanese version, you would never see that on Cartoon Network (just look at what they did to Sailor Moon). Now on to my comments for the rest of you, first to the fan girls, Hiei and Kurama are fictional and animated charatures, they are not real, calm down. Second to all the fan boys, there are many strong gay male charatures in anime, that does not make them any less of a man or any more of a woman, there is nothing wrong with two men being gay and retaining their ability to fight. Now for the people who think the slasher artist that made the picture is a man, you are more then likely wrong, most shoujen ai/youi are writen and drawen by women and for women. There are fan fictions about any number of leading men from popular animes portried as homosexual, from Roruni Kenshin to DragonBall Z. Now another interesting topic that kept coming up was the fact that they are too good looking to be gay, now I would like to know where exactly the rock you have been living under is located. Just living in the real world should prove that to be incorrect and secondly just look and the shoujen ai/youi manga and anime that is out there Gravitation, Fake, and Level C just to name a few all star good looking men as gay men and lovers. I suppose that is about all for my rant and Kain, I sure hope that some of this has helped you and I am sorry for all that did not. Happy reading, Hyo
