BoZ Brothers

The BoZ Brothers (ボズ ブラザ ズ) are two of Hao's followers and a group of rock monks. Their real names are Sugimoto Ryo (杉本 良,Sugimoto Ryo) and Yoneda Zen (米田 善,Yoneda Zen). They are part of Tsuchi-gumi (Earth team).

Appearance
When they first appear the BoZ brothers have boxes over their heads while performing on in the streets. When they reveal themselves to Asakura Yoh they no longer were the boxes and instead were traditional Japanese black robes and overalls.

After they are defeated by Chocolove McDonell they wear different sunglasses and they don't have their cloaks on anymore, but instead were simple a t-shirt and knee cut pants. Both of them is shown to have a folk guitar.

Personalities
They seem rather eccentric, and in the anime is displayed as singing everything when speaking. When they first met Asakura Hao they seemed rather shocked, however they seems to have grown loyal to him. After Peyote Diaz misused them as mediums for his oversouls, they quit their allegiance to Hao.

Spirit

These ghosts are thousands of small animal, bird and insect spirits that inhabit the mountain, who can't remember their original form.

Past
Once, the brothers were just a simple musical duo who played Buddhist Hard-Rock that was hated by their Master. They became popular due to their catchy tunes and their unique appearances, and their first song "Joh! Butsu - Sankiemon" even made it to 49th place in the charts. Hao showed up at their Monetary and offered them the ability to become shaman which the BoZ accepted.

Shaman Fight First Rounds
Not much is known about their time in the first round abut they both passed and went to the second round.

Fight with Yoh and Tamao
The BoZ attacked Yoh and Tamao under the orders of Hao to try to take Yoh out of the Shaman Fight. They were successful in getting the memorial tablet that Amidamaru was in and tried to leave. Yoh escaped the oversouled ghosts the Boz were using and ran toward them. The BoZ launched wave after wave of Chimimoryo and got Yoh down. Yoh was in trouble but Ryu showed up and destroyed the Chimimoryo and the BoZ's ride. They ran off and reported to Hao. Some time later the BoZ were seen next to Hao during the takeoff for the patch village.

Fight with Team "The Ren"
The BoZ and Peyote Diaz as the earth team faced Ren, Chocolove, and HoroHoro in the first match of the team competition. The BoZ quickly launched an assault of Chimimoryo when the match started but were quickly knocked out by choco's shaft attack. Peyote oversouled the BoZ with his spirits and the battle restarted. Chocolove found a way around them and tried to hit Peyote but was hit by another spirit Peyote changed the oversouled BoZ arm shape to cacti and fired numerous furyoku thorns. Chocolove came back hard with the Ayers Rock Sunrise and managed to force the ghosts that were oversouled to laugh. Ren quickly finished off team earth and sealed victory for his team.

After Defeat
The BoZ defeat also revealed their past. After all the talk they changed their clothing to the new BoZ name clothing and abandoned Hao to pursue musical careers. They later show up again as supporters of Lady Sati and the Gandhara group.

Anime/Manga Differences
In the anime, their names are changed to Kamishiro Ryo and Hijiri Zen.

Also in the anime, they didn't fight Team Ren with Peyote Diaz in the tournament and he had the two attack them on the day they met Chocolove McDonell. They were also oversouled from the beginning of the fight.
