Master Genkai

Genkai (幻海, translates to Sea of Illusion) was the master of Yusuke Urameshi, as well as a main character in Yu Yu Hakusho series. She is voiced by Hisako Kyōda (Older) and Megumi Hayashibara (Younger) in the original Japanese and Linda Young in the English dub. She is voiced by Caryl Marder in the English dub of Yu Yu Hakusho the Movie: Poltergeist Report. Yusuke and Kuwabara address Genkai as "Ba-san," which means "Grandmother, old woman." She is called Master Jeremiah in the Filipino dub of the anime, because she was confused for an old man. A young Genkai seen in a flashback, is voiced by Linda Young in the FUNimation English dub. In the Filipino dub of the anime, she was voiced by Eric Resurreccion also voices Yusuke as her younger version is voiced by Rowena Raganit. Normally, Genkai looked like a thoroughly aged woman, wearing martial arts clothes and occasionally a purple cap bearing a manji with the characters for 'master', which reflects ancient Buddhist tradition. She had shoulder-length wavy pinkish gray hair and brown eyes. However, in her younger years, she was a beautiful girl with braided bright pink hair and much greater spiritual and physical strength.
