Eizou Hakusho II Character Opening Sequences


During and after Yu Yu Hakusho's anime run back in Japan, two OVA series was released back then. Called, Eizou Hakusho (Image Report) these series of OVA consist of various video montages and other supplementary videos about the main anime series.

What will I focus in this post is the second OVA series, Eizou Hakusho II which was released in December 16, 1995 – February 7, 1996 with 4 episodes. Each episode focuses on one of the main characters; Yusuke, Kurama, Hiei, or Kuwabara.

It showcases their best anime scenes with music from the series in the background, and includes new animation clips as well as seiyuu interviews. What's more, they have their own individual opening sequences which you are about to see right now!

Eizou Hakusho II - Yusuke Chapter Opening


One thing I noticed in the opening sequence is the montages of Yusuke's adventure with major focus on the events that happened in the last season.

Eizou Hakusho II - Kurama Chapter Opening


Interesting to note that Kurama's seiyuu, Megumi Ogata sang the opening theme, Koori no Naifu wo Daite (Embracing a Knife of Ice). For Kurama fan girls out there, you'll definitely love this opening sequence!

Eizou Hakusho II - Hiei Chapter Opening


It is said that the woman in the video is Mukuro before she scared herself. Also, the video gave us epic scenes of Hiei demonstrating his sword skills!

Eizou Hakusho II - Kuwabara Chapter Opening


If there is one thing I liked about Kuwabara's opening is the punk/yankee feel in it, and I love it since he is the only "average" human with superpowers in the group!

Unfortunately, the OVA series is not licensed and I am not sure if someone was able to sub this series. But for those interested to see this extra material and can understand Japanese, raws for some clips are available on YouTube.
