Early in the series, she disquises herself in the uniform for Sarayashiki Jr. High girls, a blue blouse with a yellow scarf. Personality Genuinely helpful and well-meaning, she can be somewhat clumsy and short-sighted. She's also bubbly and cautiously-optimistic, but can be a bit of a scaredy-cat.

She sometimes tends to be a motormouth. She used to view Yusuke as an interesting subject to study until she develops a bond with him, and becomes a valuable ally and close friend.

Her name means "peony". Botan's ability to stay in the physical realm is changed ever so slightly in the anime, when compared to the manga. In the anime, she mentions she has a "human body", implying it's a container which allows her soul to interact, yet when called back to the Spirit Realm, she simply changes her clothes and flies back.

In the manga, however, the container body is left behind, immobile while her spirit flies back, only reanimating once she comes back. Coincidentally, Botan is pronounced the same way as "Boatman" minus the "m. Because those of the Reikai age slowly, and as evidenced by her comment during the meeting between the group -minus Hiei- and Koenma, about Sensui, Botan is a new and young grim reaper.

She was just starting out a few years before the show began, during Yusuke's early childhood. Botan remained in the Human World meanwhile to destroy some Makai insects by the use of a repellant made in the Spirit World and by knocking down some already infected human beings. They used the Communication Mirror with Yusuke so they could still talk with one another even though they are apart. Botan then protects Keiko from the insect-possessed humans and with her tries to escape from the pursuers.

At first, Keiko is jealous towards Botan for she has seen her several times with Yusuke, but Botan clarifies to Keiko that Yusuke is all hers and that their relationship with Yusuke is not romantic. Botan was later injured by one of the insect-possessed humans and fell unconscious in the arms of Keiko. They were ultimately cornered by the humans possessed by Makai Insects of Suzaku , but they were saved when Yusuke finally defeats Suzaku and destroys the Makai whistle.

Later, she regained consciousness and tricked Yusuke into believing that she and Keiko were killed by the insect-possessed humans. Botan is again present when Yusuke, along with Kuwabara, are briefed by Koenma in a video tape referring them to their next mission of saving Yukina from Tarukane. In the manga, however, Botan only briefed Yusuke and Kuwabara regarding the mission; she did not accompany them in the mission itself. At first, Botan tried to hide the fact that Yusuke is a spirit detective from Keiko and says to her that Yusuke is an.

Botan wearing a different designed Kimono at the start of the Dark Tournament Arc. But when Yusuke and Kuwabara were gone for long due to their participation in the Dark Tournament, she finally tells the truth to Keiko and Shizuru and brings them along to the tournament for them to be able to see Yusuke and Kuwabara.

In the manga, Botan is not confronted by Keiko and Shizuru and she also brought Yusuke's mother Atsuko Urameshi to the tournament as well. She acts as the team coach in the Dark Tournament.

She is the grim reaper to ferry Genkai's soul when she died in the hands of Toguro and is very sad for the incident. In the beginning of the Chapter Black Saga, Botan is assigned to explain to Yusuke the new threat the world faces and this time not by demons but by humans.

Before she was fully able to explain to Yusuke this new threat, Yusuke was kidnapped by Kido , Yanagisawa , and Kaito. She then teamed up with Kuwabara and Kurama to rescue Yusuke. She assisted Kuwabara and Kurama first in trying to track Hiei. When Hiei later appears, she struck a deal with Hiei to limit his probation by the Spirit World, to which Hiei agrees.

Her soul was captured from her body when she accidentally said the taboo word "hot" inside Kaito's territory, but her, Hiei's, and Kuwabara's souls were saved by when Kurama defeated Kaito in forcing him to say a taboo word. She joined Kurama, Kuwabara, and Hiei again after they defeated Kaito until they rescued Yusuke, only to find out that the kidnapping was masterminded by Genkai to test them.

Botan is present in the meetings of Yusuke and the team. She saves an injured and recovering Seaman saved by Kuwabara after he is hit by the Dimensional Sword from a falling bookshelf when they were attacked by Sniper , which increases Seaman's trust for humans to do good.
