Anime #6- Shaman King!

Intro

This is about a boy named Mortimer, who believes in ghost, and claims to have spotted them. His "friends" at school don't believe him, of course, until one night. He sees a boy who he finds out to be named Yoh, surrounded by ghosts! Later, when Mortimer (or just Morty) gets mixed up with a gang called the Dead Enders, he is beat up. Yoh drags Morty to the graveyard where the Dead Enders meet, and all of a sudden, summons a ghost called Amidamaru. He is suddenly infused with Amidamaru's power, and beats up Rio, the leader of the gang. Morty finds out that Yoh is a shaman, and is going to participate in the Shaman King Tournament, which only happens every 500 years.

Characters

Yoh
The main character of the show. He has the power to fuse with ghosts and speak to the dead. He needed to find a spirit he would always fuse with, so he decided he would choose Amidamaru. At first, the 600-year-old-waiting spirit said no, but after Yoh reunited Amidamaru with the sword his dear friend made, he decided to join Yoh on his quest.

Morty
When he told his friends he had seen ghosts, they thought he was crazy. But Yoh believed him, and showed him what a shaman can really do.

Amidamaru
A samurai who was known as a fiend because he slaughtered fifty guards before he died. He was actually trying to stall for time so that his dear friend could deliver the sword to him. He is now Yoh's spirit familiar, and he is very loyal to Yoh.

Rio
After being beaten by Yoh twice, he decided to pursue a career as a shaman, and wanted to know if Yoh could teach him. He wasn't making any progress until his body was overtaken by a spirit named Tokageroh. He then left the Dead Enders to participate in the Shaman King Tournament.
