Yugo (勇午, Yuugo) is a Japanese manga series written by Shinji Makari and illustrated by Akana Shu.
Yugo, written by Shinji Makari and illustrated by Shuu Akana, was serialized in Kodansha's Monthly Afternoon magazine between 1994 and 2004.
[17] The first three episodes of Yugo the Negotiator were screened at the Barbican Centre on February 26, 2008, in London; Helen McCarthy, an anime expert, did an introduction of the show for the audience.
[18] Theron Martin from Anime News Network elected the main character of the series Yugo Beppu as the "Best New Hero/Heroine" along with Kei Kurono of Gantz and Pacifica of Scrapped Princess.
Martin declared he is "the most original hero: he deals with 'opponents' though his attention to understanding them and the sometimes-extreme actions he undertakes so that he can negotiate with them on their terms.
