About[]
Gussy Kenji was a famous and talented boxer. He took in a delinquent student named Tobinai Tatsushi and trained him, but after Gussy died in a car accident and his gym went out of business, Tatsushi reformed back into a delinquent. Asakura Yoh fought Tatsushi by using Gussy's spirit, and after being defeated, Tatsushi became good again.[1]

Gussy was later temporarily summoned by Kyōyama Anna as part of a demonstration of her powers as an itako.[2]
After Asakura Hao became the Shaman King, Gussy boarded the train in the Great Spirit and helped keep Yoh and the others from being pulled into oblivion.[3]
