Netflix drops new poster for 'Ghost Fighter' live action, introduces cast


We're getting closer to seeing the live action adaptation of "Ghost Fighter" on screen!

Netflix released a new poster for the upcoming series on Saturday, showing Eugene's iconic ray gun, Dennis' rose whip, Vincent's bandaged arm, and Alfred holding his uniform over his shoulder.

The streaming giant also confirmed two members of the cast with character posters: Takumi Kitamura will play Yusuke Urameshi (Eugene) and Jun Shison will play Kurama (Dennis).

Takumi previously starred in the live action films for "Let Me Eat Your Pancreas" and "Tokyo Revengers" while Jun appears in "The Way of the Househusband" live action television series.

"Ghost Fighter," originally titled "Yu Yu Hakusho" in Japan, is based on a manga of the same name created by Yoshihiro Togashi.

It began serializing in the Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in 1990 and was adapted into an anime series in 1992. The anime is currently streaming on Netflix.

The story follows Yusuke, a high school delinquent who becomes an "underworld detective" after dying in a car accident while trying to save a child.

The live action adaptation will premiere on December 2023.
