TOHO Studios and Netflix then signed a multi-year contract to rent two of TOHO's stage facilities in Tokyo starting in April 2021. Therefore, Netflix's first production there is precisely the live-action series of Yu Yu Hakusho.
Finally, Togashi (Hunter X Hunter) published the original Yu Yu Hakusho manga from 1990 to 1994.
