Name:Asakura Yoh
Age:15
Rank:Seirei-class Shaman
Alignment:Good
Personality: A slacker by nature, Yoh maintains a carefree, laid-back attitude about everything, even with achieving his goal of becoming Shaman King. Because he was alienated by everyone outside of the family he instead chose to bond with spirits and has decided that anyone who can see spirits cannot be evil. He has even gotten a signature phrase: "everything will work out" as a way of seeing things. He is rarely on bad terms with anyone and always decides to make friends with the people he meets. He is deeply caring for his friends and is even ready to die for them or give up his dreams as seen when Ren was killed and would be revived by Iron Maiden Jeanne, only if Yoh dropped out of the tournament.

History:Yoh was born May 12, 1985[7] to Asakura Mikihisa, an ascetic monk, and Keiko Asakura, a miko. He spent most of his early childhood living in Izumo with his mom and grandfather, Yohmei and his apprentice, Tamao, who helped raise him in the family ways of shamanism. For the most part, his childhood was rather lonesome, having virtually no friends outside his family and spirits because of his shamanic heritage. Yoh was regularly outcasted by normal people, alienated because of his powers so he spends most of his time listening to music by his favorite artist, SOUL BOB. However, he always envisioned better life for himself; this became his motivation to become Shaman King. Yoh’s ambitions to become Shaman King began at age 4,when his grandfather told him of the Great Spirit. And Yoh being the slacker that he was saw the possibility of the easy life and, from that day, decided to become Shaman King. His training progressed slowly, but at age 10, Yoh was told of his engagement to the young itako, Anna Kyōyama. It was at this time that he also gained his first Guardian Spirit, Matamune of the Cats--a cat spirit who had served the Asakura house for over a thousand years. At Yoh's grandfather's request, Matamune returned from underworld to escort Yoh to Ozorenzan, where he was to meet Anna, who had just finished her itako training with Yoh's grandmother, Kino Asakura. On his first day in Ozorenzan, Yoh encounters a young girl who receives him in a cool reception, leaving Yoh reeling. Awhile after, he was attacked by an Oni on the streets, only to be saved by Matamune. Despite this, the two would eventually arrive at Yoh's grandmother's home and was properly introduced to his fiancé who turned out to be the girl from earlier, much to Yoh's shock and surprise. Though upset at first, Yoh slowly uncovers the mystery behind Anna and her powers as a Reishi. During a battle with an Oni, Yoh's bravery coaxed emotion from Anna, whose negative emotions formed the Oni, and dissolved it.
Living in Tokyo
Yoh moved to Funbari Hills to participate in the Shaman Fight in Tokyo and to find a ghost of his own. There he met his close friend Manta Oyamada and soon enough Amidamaru. They have many adventures together like freeing a evil spirit from a billboard, rescuing children from a fire, and stopping a bully from throwing his life away.
Shaman Fights in Tokyo First Round
Silva of the 10 Patch Officiants from the Patch tribe encounters Yoh at Amidimaru's grave site and challenges him to a test to gain entry to the fight. In order to aquire the Oracle Bell that will function as a permit, Yoh will have to hit Silva just once.
Yoh accepts the and the battle commences. Yoh quickly integrates Amidimaru into himself and goes in to strike. Yoh hits the Over Souled Silver Shield and wonders what happened. Silva explains the oversoul concept and strikes back with both Silver Horn and Silver Tail. Silver Rod slams Yoh into the ground and Silver Wing makes Silva fly. The Silver Arms then proceeds to taunt Yoh, frustrating him even more.
Yoh's uncontrolled Over Soul
However Yoh figures out how to use the Over Soul and makes the gamble by placing Amidamaru inside Harusame. As expected, it succeds and creates an overflowing uncontrolled version of his first Over Soul. Seeing this Silva swaps the Silver Arms to his O.S. Totem Pole Cannon formation and fires a blast of Furioku. Yoh uses Muscle Memory gaine from beeing fused with Amidamaru so many times, uses the Budha-Strike and deflects Silva's attack right back at him. This act makes a cut in Silva's headband, thus hitting him and earns Yoh the Oracle Bell and the right to participate in the Shaman Fights.
When Yoh returns home Anna chastises him for the Oracle Bell(thinking it's a pager) and the hair on him, thinking he was with another woman. To prove her wrong Yoh decides to show her his Over Soul, but fails because he is out of Furyoku. Yoh is about to be beaten by Anna, but the Oracle Bell beeps and Yoh is given his first match against someone named Horohoro.
Yoh Vs. Horohoro
Yoh is put up against Horohoro in the very first match of the Shaman Fight a fight that is placed in the middle of an open square. A little before the fights start Yoh is given a battle costume from Anna(although it's the same as he wore when he was four), something he openly complains about until Anna says she spend all night personaly sewing it. Suddenly a voice calls for Yoh above them and Horohoro drops sixty stories and attacks Yoh to get his oversoul working. The fight begins with Horohoro attacking, who at first dominated the match. After a while Yoh asks him what his dream is, to which Horohoro tells him his dream to create a massive field of butterbur. Yoh cries for him, and in a comic scene considers forfeiting, but Anna knocks Yoh back to his senses.
The battle resumes and Horohoro attacks head on but Yoh is ready for him. Yoh quickly counters everything Horohoro can dish out to the point where Yoh mows down all of the musso kurppe Horohoro had. Horohoro uses his most powerful attack of an massive avalanche. It worked to a point but yoh busted through it and struck Horohoro ending the match and allowing Yoh to win his first match.
Yoh is put up against Faust VIII in his second match of the Shaman fight. Yoh ends up in Yokohama for his next match in the foreigner's cemetery. Anna left with Silva to do something. Faust came and gave greetings to Yoh, and then proceeds to enthralls both Manta and Yoh with his history. He then pulls out Eliza Faust and Manta runs. Manta is however easily captured by Faust and is cut open.
Yoh goes through summoned skeletons to hit Faust upside the head and rescue Manta. The Bell beeps announcing the start of the fight. Yoh is worried about his friend but can not do anything but wrap a jacket around Manta's wound. Yoh fights Faust's skeletal soldiers but burns through most of his furioku. Sivla finally shows up and can not interfere because of the rules of the fight.
Anna comes back and explains why Yoh is so lonely and finally rescues Manta. Faust narrows his spiritual focus and fights with Eliza breaking three ribs and puncturing Yoh's left lung. Yoh then uses Faust's strategy against him and but can not fight off Faust's full power. Faust finally charges all of his furioku into Eliza and charges straight at Yoh. Yoh is able to cut down Eliza's legs and defuse Faust's anger. Yoh is unable to win and runs out of power losing his oversoul. Amidimaru gives Yoh advice and Faust attacks again but this time with a twenty two ton skeletal beast. Ren saves him and tells Yoh to train since they both will fight once more in three months.
Yoh winds up at the hospital after the fight to treat his injuries. Manta went to his room and Yoh said that he was wasn't Manta's friend any more. Manta runs away. Yoh explains to Anna that he really did not want to do that but had to since he did not want to put Manta in more danger.
Yoh goes back home to Izumo the next day. Yoh meets his grandfather at the family mansion and tells him what he needs to do. His grandfather explains that Yoh must die and leads him to the Yomi hole. Yoh enters with the reason to be Shaman King. He would wander the cave for seven days and nights. He emerges seven days later to see anna, Tomao, Manta, Ryu, and Amidamaru. Yoh is his usual self after emerging and Anna asks why he is not half dead to which Yoh answers it does not matter. They all head to Yoh's house and eat a big dinner. Everyone goes to bed after it. Yoh sits up and finds manta wide awake. Manta explains his story and Yoh grandfather shows up. Yomei Gives yoh one last test to strike down all his shikigami. Yoh does so in one hit and gains a new oversoul. Amidamaru starts talking out of nowhere and Yoh is panicked. Yomei explains that his oversoul is on a much higher plane than before so Amidamaru can talk in oversoul form. Yoh leaves Izumo the next day full of confidence that he would win.
Yoh prepares for his fight against Tao Ren and heads out to the location which is Mata Cemetery in West Tokyo. He waits with Manta at the location. Ren shows up with grand entrance, on a horse, and taunts Yoh. Amidamaru and Bason attack each other and Ren dismounts his horse. The Oracle Bell rings and the match begins with Ren attacking Yoh violently. Yoh Over Souls and Ren comments that he has a new oversoul. After a long series of furies and violently attacking Yoh, Ren is finally able to attack Yoh from a blind spot but Yoh easily blocks it and Ren standing there shocked wonders how he was able to do so. Suddenly Amidamaru opens his eyes and explains to Ren that Yoh also got his(Amidamaru's eyes). This opening allows Yoh to use a Budha-Strike finally breaking Ren's Over Soul.
But instead of just recreaing his Over Soul, Ren powers up his Over Soul and manifests Bason's entire upper body, except for the arms, on his Gwuan Do. Charging straight towards Yoh, Ren smashed his Over Soul down on him like a hammer, and proceeds to throw him into the air when Yoh blocks. Ren attacks again but the first attack is blocked but Bason arms are materialized and he slams Yoh into the ground. Due to this Yoh looses his Over Soul but quickly recovers. Ren furiously attacks Yoh and Manta tries calling Anna but realizes she has no phone so therefore he goes to Yoh's house.
Yoh realizes that Ren is using more furioku in his oversoul than he is. Amidamaru says Yoh must power up but Yoh says that he will stay as he is now and trust in Amidamaru. Ren seizes the opportunity and strikes but Yoh gets through it and destroys Ren's big oversoul forcing him to lose one hundred units of Furyoku in one shot.
Yoh and Ren prepare the Final Attack
Ren is furious about the power loss and attacks again but does not know his attacks are landing. Yoh loses four oversouls but stays calm. Ren has had enough and uses his horse and Bason at full power and goes in for the kill. Yoh Counters with his own powered up oversoul and they both clash.
Both Ren's and Yoh's oversoul are destroyed at the same time and the match ends in a draw. Silva appears and tells them they have both passed to the second round. Yoh is elated that he has passed and does not have to be punished by Anna. Yoh and Ren go to the opening ceremony and take a much deserved break from fighting.
The BoZ appearance
Yoh, Horohoro, Ren, Anna, Tamao, Pirika, and all the spirits are at Yoh's celebrating their entrance to the shaman fight. they party for most of the night. Ren leaves that night to head back to China Yoh sees him off. A few days later Yoh and Tamao are shopping and go through a shinto shrine for shortcut. Two buddist monks come and encounter them. Yoh and Tamao believe that they are just normal monks asking for cash until they send Pochi and Conchi to heaven. Yoh asks who are they and they capture Amidimaru's Memorial tablet explaining they are the BoZ and they want be Shaman king. Yoh attacks them to try to get back what they stole but is pinned down by the BoZ spirits. Yoh busts through most of them but the BoZ keep using more and more oversouls knocking yoh down. The BoZ move in for the kill and ryu shows up cutting down all of the oversouls. Ryu reveals he is now a full shaman and won two matches already. The BoZ interupt and try Telling him their name but are cut down and the car they use is now in two pieces. The BoZ run and report to Hao.
