He therefor took him in and later gave him some of his own Furyoku in the hope of when he died he would come back to him as a guardian oni.

Past
Yohken Asakura is an ancestor of Yoh Asakura who lived around 500 years ago, born on May 8, 1476. Following his duty as a member of the Asakura family, Yohken entered the Shaman Fight of 500 years ago to defeat Hao Asakura. He successfully accomplished the task with the help of Matamune, Hao's former companion. His blood type is A.

After his death (which was not mentioned, but most likely shortly after he managed to defeat Hao), Yohken became trapped in Hell, trapped by the guilt he felt at having killed another. The memory of killing Hao stayed fresh in Yohken's mind, to the extent that he lost any conception of the passing of time, and didn't realize that 500 years had passed.

Present Time
In the manga, when Yoh went to hell to train, Yohken was his first opponent. Yoh managed to defeat him and caused Yohken to come to his senses. Realizing what had happened to him, he taught Yoh a little more about the history of the Asakura family. Soon after, one of the Chou-Oni came and shattered Yohken's soul. After Yoh got back to the deserted Tokyo island, Yohken went with him and stayed with the rest of the Asakura family

Trivia

 * Because both he and Mikihisa wears the same clothing and both are trained as an Ascetic Monk, when Yoh first met Yohken, he believed him to be Mikihisa.
