Originally, the manga was published in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump. The series consists of 175 chapters collected in 19 tankobon ( volumes in a series), and won the Shogakukan Manga Award for shōnen in 1994. In North America, the manga currently runs in Viz's Shonen Jump.

The anime was directed by Noriyuki Abe and co-produced by Fuji Television, Yomiko Advertising, and Studio Pierrot. It consisted of 112 television episodes and two movies: "The Golden Seal" and "Bonds of Fire". The anime series won the Animage Anime Grand Prix prize in 1993 and 1994. The TV series was originally aired on Japan's Fuji Television network from October 10, 1992 to January 7, 1995, and was later licensed in North America by Funimation in 2001. The show first aired on US TV on February 2002 on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block. In March 2003, the show moved to Cartoon Network's Toonami block due to higher ratings. YuYu Hakusho was taken off Toonami around March 2005 and moved to an early Saturday morning time slot at 5:30 a.m. Eastern time where the series finished its run. It also aired as part of the Funimation programming block on Colours TV.

A number of video games have been released that tie to the YuYu Hakusho series.

Viper GTS

Viper GTS is a three episode anime OVA series, which is based upon a popular H anime video game series.

The plot of the series centers around three succubi, Carrera, Mercedes and Rati, who are summoned to Earth to capture souls, which are then processed into brilliant gems.

The series and all the devils are named after automobile models or companies. Viper GTS is named after Dodge's Viper GTS (a coupe model of the famous automobile), Carerra is named after the Porsche 911 Carrera, Mercedes is named after Mercedes-Benz, and Alpina after the BMW tuning company Alpina Burkard Bovensiepen. Rati might be derived from Maserati, but is also the name of the Hindu goddess of love.
