Kamogawa Yohsuke

Kamogawa Yosuke (鴨川 羊介 Kamogawa Yōsuke) is a fictional character in the manga series Shaman King Flowers. He previously appeared in Hiroyuki Takei's one shot, "Yahabe".

Appearance
Yosuke is a tall young man with short dark hair that partially covers his right eye. He dresses in a light-colored western suit, with a patterned tie depicting a pyramid with one eye and rays emitting from the pyramid. Despite his appearance, he is actually only thirteen years old.

Personality
Yosuke appears confident of his own abilities, assuring his companion that he is certain that he can create a wonderful new world for him. He is also rather arrogant and believes that money is power and so struggling to improve one's strength is pointless as one can just earn the power they need through wealth. In addition, he is rather blunt with his words and isn't one for subtlety.

As a child, he was very disillusioned with the world believing the only talents or contributions to the world he had was his interest in the TCG, God-Hand Q. Even then, he contemplated suicide after realizing he wasn't too good at that, being eliminated in the first round of a God-Hand Q tournament.

Abilities and Powers


Yosuke's abilities are are related to various different YVS cards he carries around. The cards are purchased from Yabisu, with costs ranging from ¥500 to several trillions. In addition, the cards are finite in use as Yosuke can only use each card once, though he can combine their various effects. However, he can purchase as many as he likes, so long as he can pay for them. The cost of the cards is little concern to Yosuke, who confidently asserts that he can use the cards themselves to win more money.


 * YVS Mini - Costs 100,000,000 points.


 * Erase the Memory


 * Copy 180 - When used, the card has a validity of 180 seconds and can create a perfect copy of a target only once. However, the cost of the card is high and may be difficult to control.


 * Read the Mind 10 - Allows the user to read his target's mind.


 * Materialization 180 - A Golden Card that costs 200,000 furyoku points, which allows Yosuke to use only one technique before the effect of the card dissipates.


 * Mimic 1 - Combined with Materialization 180, can be used to mimic a technique.


 * View the Soul - Costs 10,000,000 points, allows the user to see spirits.


 * Obelisk Card -

Yahabe
As a child, Yosuke felt disillusioned with the world; proclaiming that all that's left for him is the Godhand Q TCG, as he is terrible at studying, sports and everything else. Lamenting that despite spending all of his allowance money to compete in it, he still lost in the first match of a Godhand Q tournament and felt that no matter what he'd never win, contemplating jumping off the large tower he was on, thinking he would be famous for it. However before he could YVS interrupted him and demanded him to give him money, saying that he was starving but money was like food to him, and that Yosuke wouldn't need money if he was going to be dead anyway. Threatening him after being annoyed at his lack of reaction, he demands money once more at which Yosuke mentions he only has a measly 500, YVS offers him his Time Warp card, allowing him to jump forward or backward in time approximately 12 hours. Yosuke accepts, thinking he will reverse his loss at the tournament and puts his 500 yen coin in a slot on YVS, before boldly jumping off of the tower. Yosuke then wakes up at home, being alarmed at seeing YVS in his room. YVS questions what he thinks of its power, and explains how the cards and their mechanics work.

Flowers
Yosuke and YVS first appear as observers to the fight between Amidamaru and Oboro Daikyoh. Yosuke praises Amidamaru's abilities and how he managed to bring his previous master to the continent of Mu. However YVS believes that Amidamaru is nothing but scum, to which Yosuke replies that he is at least compared to him. Notign that he was a model samurai and he makes his master look much worthier, asking YVS if it makes him feel like taking one away from another.

As Hana and Yohane are exploring a mall, Yosuke is seen with a telescope spying on them, commenting on how they seem to be having fun. YVS responds that he is not going there, as he hates crowds and mixing in with plebs to which Yosuke affirms that he has known him along time and was already aware of this. Yosuke tells him not to forget that he was once one of those plebs, before he had met YVS. YVS asks when he will set the trap, as he notes that once it begins, all the big shots will start gathering. To this end, he assures YVS that he will eliminate any strong Japanese rivals before the competition begins.

Later he appears with YVS, using several cards of his to stop time, and steal away Amidamaru from Asakura Hana, fleeing as he uses YVS as a flying mechanism. Complaining that he didn't want to come there directly, even wasting 3 of YVS' precious cards, mentions that "The other God" would be surprised to know that they could destroy this one. Thinking that the Dark Oni were indeed terrifying and that since Hana would probably regain his memory soon that perhaps stealing Amidamaru was pointless.

Yosuke is next seen with the sons of Khafre Puljiz and Nakht Pitrah, advising them that despite only being 7, Tao Men is incredibly dangerous, and in terms of furyoku is the strongest of Team Hao. He reveals that he is out of their league, but now that he is separated from his parents, they might stand a chance. As they leave, he mentions to YVS how reckless they are and that they will probably die. Questioning why Yosuke just doesn't kill his enemies himself, he claims that they could make use of Hana's Dark Onis, and that he'd end up being one of them.

Anime/Manga Difference
Yosuke originally debuted in Takei's Yahabe, which was both a manga oneshot and an anime OVA.
