  * Does this mean that he decided to never to transform into Yoko? 
  * And if so, why does he have conflicting identities in the first place?
  * Yoko is Kurama's original form.

Does he deny his past?

I know this is a bit of a complex question, but if possible, I want
clarifications on everything I asked.




Very simple, he didn't want his friends/family to be affected by his change,
but he wanted to still be able to tap into that power when he needed it.

Much like a super-hero's need to disguise himself so that people won't
recognize him, they'd treat Peter Parker differently if everyone knew he was
Spiderman.
