Byakko, also known as the White Tiger, is a minor antagonist in the manga/anime series Yu Yu Hakusho, and one of the members of the Four Saint Beasts.
Byakko is also known as the "White Tiger", so naturally Byakko resembles a humanoid white tiger. He has short sea-green mane, and wears a Tarzan-like outfit.
He is voiced by Takeshi Watabe in the Japanese version, and by Andrew Chandler (who also voiced Giran in Dragon Ball, Spopovich in Dragon Ball Z, General Rilldo in Dragon Ball GT, Cooler in Dragon Ball Z: Cooler's Revenge and Return of Cooler, Matasaka Kamishiro in Tokyo Ghoul and Bald in Fullmetal Alchemist) in the English version.
History[]
After Genbu, the first Saint Beast was killed, Yusuke and his friends/allies encountered Byakko, the second Saint Beast. Hiei decided he wanted to fight Byakko, but Kuwabara told him to back off because he told them the next saint beast was his. Byakko thought that no human could defeat him, so he summoned forth an army of beast-like minion to fight Kuwabara. When Kuwabara used his sprirt sword, Byakko was impressed with the sword. Kuwabara cowarded away, but managed to use his Sword Get Long technique and stabbed Byakko's minions. But despite them being stabbed, they were still active, so Kuwabara wrapped the four beasts around, leaving them completely immobilized.
After his minions were defeated, Byakko decided to fight Kuwabara. Even though Kuwabara was managing Byakko with his Spirit Sword, Byakko was actually absorbing the sprirt energy that was coming out of the sword, making him bigger and stronger.
Byakko used his mighty roar to destroy most of the arena, but Kuwabara decided he still wanted to fight. He used his sword to pole jump and kick Byakko into the lava. It seemed the Byakko was dead until he jumped out of the lava. It seemed that he couldn't be killed until the third Saint Beast, Seiryu, betrayed Byakko and had the latter executed for his failure his death played for sympathy.
Appearance[]
Byakko takes the appearance of a large humanoid tiger with mane-like sea green hair that flows down his back, light bluish fur with grey stripes on his arms, cheeks and legs, and two bottom canine teeth large enough to reach up his cheeks. He has yellow eyes with red pupils. He wears a toga, what appear to be leopard skin leg warmers, and has a red sash as a belt.
Personality[]
Byakko has a large appetite, both for energy and food, which is a main motivation for his escape from Maze Castle, as he does not have any prey, and when presented with prey, he will attempt to have that prey be eaten, and will beat up an enemy until there is enough room for him to eat.
