Behind the Cast
Episode 3
Shuichi Minomora (Kurama, you dumbass)
It's hard to believe that this studly botanist, featured for 4 years in a row on the cover of "Botanist Weekly", was actually a hideous monstrosity when he was born. His spine was too long, and he had a tail. One of his eyes wouldn't open all the way. His right foot was missing. He was born with both sets of reproductive organs, and had the genes for a male and female! His mother chose a boy, and a boy he became. After intensive plastic surgery and the prayers of Gandhi, his mother finally got to take her beloved son home, after 7 years in the hospital.
Sadly, the more and more the young man grew, the more and more like a girl he began to look. His mother began to suspect he was gay, and tried to make him more like a man. She would give him Enzyte injections, trying to boost his confidence. An inside source tells us her first son from adoption was taken away on molestation charges, and she might have been doing that for her own reasons. For young Kurama's twelfth birthday party, she hired five strippers for him, and even brought in a hooker to try and seduce him for the night. The poor boy, who hadn't even hit puberty yet, was appalled and cried so loud the neighbors called the police. The mother was sent to jail temporarily, and the police dealt with the women themselves. wink, wink nudge, nudge
When he was out of high school, he began to experiment. But not with drugs or alcohol, or even with women. No, with plants! He became infatuated with them, and was offered an acting role on YYH. He accepted the role, and met his love partner, Koenma. But we'll speak more of him later. He became a model for porno magazines, surrounded by flowers, to put himself through college, which he never finished. He was majoring in airplane construction.
He also joined an all males choir, being the only known man to sing first soprano. He was fired from that job when he was found drunk outside of a bar, hitting on a farmer's cow. No, not an animal, the farmer's wife.
Eventually, his career took a downfall. He fell down, to his death, in the Grand Canyon. He jumped, leaving one last thing for people. One last picture of him for the cover of "Botanist Weekly". After his death, many readers of that magazine jumped to their deaths as well, he was missed very much. 478 people died in all, all because of Kurama.
