[edit] Character names

Both Jin and Toya are given full names in the series , Kazetsukai Jin and Mashotsuki Toya, but the article only has their shorted names. I'm going to add the full names if there are no objections. BethEnd 16:03, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

When were these names stated? Artist Formerly Known As Whocares (talk) 20:45, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Beth - Those are epithets, not full names. The Kaze... is meaning "of the Wind" - something like that. WhisperToMe (talk) 17:24, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Manga-only Characters

Would it be appropriate to put manga-only characters in a seperate section? It really only applies for the Spirit Detective Saga, so it could just be slotted in underneath as a sub-section. HS Yuna 13:22, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

No. Those characters were minor characters who had no major role on the plot, and they would only be important if you were a fan of the series (as such, they are fancruft). Following Naruto and Bleach (manga), we should only list important characters. Artist Formerly Known As Whocares (talk) 18:53, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Quick Question: (first time posting BTW)

In the Character description section it says Sakyo N. is the founder of the Black Black Club but in Episode 25 it clearly states that that Gonzo Tarukane created it. Quote from one of the member of the BBC during that episode "Well I know that you founded the BBC however I'm afraid we can't associate with poor men" this was said after losing the bet between the Toguro Brothers and Yusuke/Kuwabara.

[edit] BBC

About the meaning of this, do we follow the manga or the anime? Because, it was stated in the original managa as Black Book Club (Why the anime changed it is anyone's guess)60.50.50.94 (talk) 12:34, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Character Listings

There seem to be some issues regarding character listings, at least in standardization. First of all, the order of the main characters in this article and the main article are different. The main article listing orders them as Yusuke, Kuwabara, Keiko, Koenma, Botan, Hiei, Kurama, Genkai, Yukina. This article orders them as Yusuke, Keiko, Botan, Koenma, Kuwabara, Kurama, Hiei, Genkai, Yukina.

Neither of these listings make a whole lot of sense. They aren't in any clear order. They're clearly not alphabetical (which is good, they shouldn't be), but they don't have any other clear order, either. They're not in order of importance (in which case the top 4 would certainly be Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama and Hiei, followed by Genkai, Botan, and Koenma), nor are they in order of appearance. (The main article lists Kuwabara ahead of Keiko and Koenma ahead of Botan, while this one lists Botan and Konema ahead of Kuwabara).

Personally, I think it should be by importance. It just makes more sense to list Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama and Hiei first. But ordering by first appearance would also work. Either way, there should be a standard that is kept to between the two pages.

I also wonder why Yukina is listed under main characters, but Shizuru is listed under allies. Neither are especially major, but I'd argue that Shizuru is more important. She shows up earlier (much earlier in the manga), shows up more frequently, and has a greater effect on the overall plot. I think Yukina should probably be moved to Allies, because I don't think I'd call either her or Shizuru 'Main Characters'.Kuwabaratheman (talk) 21:02, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

"Order of Importance" is only "Order of Opinion", as, besides Yusuke being most important for being the protagonist, the others are merely however the editor(s) want them to be, and whose more/less important can't be proven. They are (as of my edit a minute ago) in order of appearance, which seems the most logical of the three you listed. As for the Kurama/Hiei question, because they were first shown in the same panel, Kurama's character was explained two panels before Hiei, so he comes first. As for the Yukina/Shizuru thing you mentioned, Shizuru is only a minor character who doesn't do much besides be there, while Yukina constantly affects the plot of the series and makes several major appearances.
