![]() She is usually seen insulting him at times when he does poorly in a fight, and is quick to physically reprimand him if she thinks he's getting out of line. ![]() He is often seen being disciplined by his sister, Shizuru Kuwabara, though it's likely that she's doing this to toughen him up. He trains with both Kurama and Hiei in order to prepare for the Dark Tournament. Conversely, Kuwabara gets along well with Kurama and the two appear to have a social friendship (Kuwabara is seen at the wedding of Kurama's human mother). Despite this, Kuwabara later comments that he knows that deep down Hiei is a decent person (or a "good guy" as he put it in the anime). Hiei constantly regards him as useless and stupid while Kuwabara finds Hiei to be uncaring and snide. The mutual dislike continues well into the series. Kuwabara quickly forms an antagonistic relationship with Hiei from the onset after he insults him when they first meet. He and Yusuke always address each other by their last names- furthering the link to classic Japanese youth icons. Though neither he or Yusuke would admit it, there is an obvious emotional bond between them, akin to brothers. Though initially appearing as just a rival to Yusuke, it becomes clear from the start that he deeply values the connection between them forged by the many fights they got into, which is evidenced by his refusal to accept Yusuke's death at the beginning of the series. He also occasionally dons headbands, such as his "Fighting Headband of Love" when he set out to rescue Yukina. In several episodes, it can be seen that he preemptively binds his abs with bandages, much like a classic brawler. In the anime, he wears his school uniform most of the time for the first few major parts of the story (in fact, for all of the first season and half of the second.) In the manga, he wore street clothes during Genkai's Tournament- including a baseball jersey inscribed with things like Motor Head and Iron Fist written on it. While in school, he wears a light blue jump suit - in contrast with the dark blue ones worn by rest of the male students. He has an angular face with narrow gray eyes (Revealed in "The Cape of No Return" Episode 48) and high cheek bones and a slender pointed nose.His overall appearance, as well as his dress sense, are likely an homage to the classic Japanese 'bad boy' mythology from the 1950's. He has thick reddish-orange hair that is combed up into a 1950's 'punk' pompadour style. He is the tallest member of the team, standing at about six feet - making him very tall by Japanese standards, as this is considered well above average. Kuwabara is broad-shouldered with a defined muscular build.
