[Edit]In the beginning of the manga, Yusuke Urameshi is nothing more than a street-brawling delinquent who only goes to school about once every ten days. His teachers hate him and he has few friends. Yusuke's mother Atsuko is an alcoholic. She had him at the age of 14 and shows little interest in raising her son. He has a reserved seat in the guidance counseler's office. Since every single punk in the city is trying to take him on, Yusuke is pretty fed up with life.
However, no one could foresee his most famous deed: he dies trying to save a little boy from a speeding car. When he arrives in the afterlife, the people in the afterlife inform him that since no one was expecting him to die in that way, they are not prepared for his arrival.
