When I was in elementary, this anime is my #1 favorite and I keep going home early to watch every episodes on the TV every afternoon. It is Ghost Fighter in English.

YuYu Hakusho (Yū Yū Hakusho?, or "YYH", lit. "Ghost Files" or "Poltergeist Report") is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Yoshihiro Togashi with an anime adaptation. The name of the series is spelled Yu Yu Hakusho in Funimation's distribution of the anime and YuYu Hakusho in the Viz manga. YuYu Hakusho tells the story of Yusuke Urameshi, a teenage delinquent who is struck and killed by a car while attempting to save a child's life. After a number of tests presented to him by Koenma, the son of the ruler of the afterlife Underworld, Yusuke is revived and appointed the title of "Underworld Detective", with which he must investigate and solve various cases involving demons and apparitions in the Human World.
