For example, Yusuke and Botan are pretty much the same height, or Botan is possibly a bit taller (it’s sometimes hard to tell with her hair, or maybe it’s heels haha).
#Yu yu hakusho yusuke hair down full
When I draw/write, my mental benchmarks generally start with “Kuwabara is a full head taller than Yusuke, Yusuke is a full head taller than Hiei, Kurama (Minamino Shuichi) is half a head taller than Yusuke” and then extrapolate other characters from other panels based on this basic measuring stick (of Yusuke basically lmao). The animation team has stated one of the hardest things was figuring out relative heights from Togashi’s drawings lol. (Apologies for the not-so-great quality, neither of these pieces are great for my tiny old scanner so I had to take photos with my phone.) The first is from Perfect File 2, the second photo is from my very incomplete collection of settei (anime production reference materials) - this one is heights for Chapter Black key characters. I’ve never seen a comprehensive official breakdown of numbers (and I generally lean towards skepticism of some things in the wikia lol), but hopefully this will help some people:Ībove are official animation reference drawings for relative heights, which should do for most artists and writers in the majority of situations. *** Please note the heights in post were updated which the current reblob does not reflect, but I didn’t wanna lose helpful commentary So Yusuke is canonically around 5'4" or 5'5". If he was a whole 4-5 inches taller than her I don’t think that would be possible. He borrows one of Keiko’s uniforms and it fits him pretty well. Yusuke is actually quite short and near Keiko’s height, which is stated during a short little arc near the end of the manga when he has to infiltrate Keiko’s all girl high school. Yusuke isn’t 5'8" although most of the others’ seem accurate. Hiei - 4′10″ during Dark Tournament, said to be 5′3″ at the end of the series.Īnnoying, there’s no official page I can find, but this will have to do for now. Most of this comes from the wikia, but if you find any other sources, let me know. Looking up heights for the main YYH characters.
