There is no doubt that Netflix's Yu Yu Hakusho live-action series has assembled an authentic and talented cast for its main characters. The outfits and characterization are true to the manga, as well as the anime. There are a few noticeable changes, such as Kazuma's hair not being orange, and Hiei's costume getting an upgrade. But these tweaks were arguably necessary when translating the source material into a live-action show, otherwise, the series would look unrealistic and a bit too campy. With the new casting updates, the main heroic team has been rounded out, although fans need to be on the lookout for more information, as Yu Yu Hakusho will presumably soon announce the actors for other key characters like Genkai, Koenma, Botan, and Keiko.
