Name: Kazuma Kuwabara
Origin: Yu Yu Hakusho
Gender: Male
Classification: Human, Psychic
Age: 18 at the end of the manga
Powers and Abilities: Super strength, speed, durability, agility, endurance, can manipulate his Reiki to forge swords, can extend and bend his Reiken for increased range, high spirit awareness (can sense Reiki/Youki, as well as perceive ghosts and other supernatural beings), can see extremely well in the dark (due to his high level of spirit awareness), can cut through dimensions and create shortcuts through space with his Jigen Tō, skilled brawler
Weaknesses: His stupidity
Destructive Capacity: Likely building level (his attacks are more than capable of harming Byakko) | Multi city block level (more than capable of shredding Elder Toguro into chunks of flesh, a character that is stated to be capable of fighting competently against Younger Toguro at 80% full power) | Island level+, likely higher (should be capable of harming opponents with this level of durability without Jigen Tō); the Jigen Tō focuses on slicing dimensions so the durability of the opponent in most cases can be ignored
Range: Average human in possession of a sword, can extend the length of his sword to catch opponents further away
Speed: Supersonic (was able to react to 30% Younger Toguro about as well as Yusuke and had a supersonic feat of his own) | Hypersonic+ via powerscaling | Massively hypersonic (kept up with a bloodlusted Hiei and Kurama as they chased after Sensui)

Lifting Strength: Superhuman+ | At least superhuman+ | At least Class G+ (superior to Younger Toguro)
Striking Strength: At least Class MJ+ | At least Class GJ+ (sent Ryshou flying into the stands of the first Dark Tournament Stadium at high speed) | At least Class PJ+
Stamina: Large, was able to battle against Sensui and get back up fine when Yusuke arrived on the battlefield
Standard Equipment: Usually a hilt which he can forge his Rei Ken out of, had the Sword of Testing for the Dark Tournament
Intelligence: Stupid, makes foolish mistakes in battle and is one of the most foolish people in his class
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Rei Ken: Also known as Spirit Sword, is Kuwabara's signature attack, where he creates a sword made of his spirit energy. Its strength depends on how much energy Kuwabara uses. It is first used in the Genkai Tournament when Kuwabara holds a piece of a broken sword from a special spiritual sword used by Musashi, the opponent he is fighting. It causes this weapon to emerge. After the tournament is over, Kuwabara does some training and learns how to control it at will without needing the broken sword piece.
- Nobiyo Rei Ken: Also known as Sword Get Longer, Kuwabara's power seems to be derived from a form of materialization, or the act of manifesting his energy into the shape of an object. This is a unique ability in the series, as it is seldom seen by very few characters in the series (namely Bui and Karasu of Team Toguro). After gaining full control, Kuwabara can increase the size of his sword at will. Later, after training with Kurama in preparation for the Dark Tournament, Kuwabara is able to bend his sword as well. This attack enables him to attack his opponent from a distance (as seen in his fight with Rinku), and also as javelin or pole vault in order to both leap great distances or survive falls from great heights.
- Rei Ken Ni Tōkai Ryū: Also known as Double Spirit Sword, during his training before the Dark Tournament under Kurama and Hiei, Kuwabara develops this technique, where he can materialize two swords at once, one for each hand.
- Spirit Shuriken: This is a technique where Kuwabara produces small bolts of energy from his hands, similar to shuriken. He uses it only twice, as it appears to consume a large amount of spirit energy (first during his fight with Elder Toguro, and once in the movie "Poltergeist Report" against Majari, which is non-canon).
- Jigen Tō: Also known as Dimension Sword, is an enhanced version of his spirit sword that enables him to literally cut through dimensional barriers, as well as a psychic's territory. Kuwabara also uses the Dimension Sword to make a temporary dimensional tunnel in order to stop a terrorist attack on the Spirit World.
