The only place outside of fanfiction I've seen the name "Kuronue" is in Yu Yu
Hakisho, so I suspect they made it up. How is it spelled in kanji in the
original media? Or is it ever spelled out?

How is 'Kuronue' spelled in kanji?


His name is written 黒鵺（くろぬえ）according to the [Japanese
Wikipedia](http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%B9%BD%E2%98%86%E9%81%8A%E2%98%86%E7%99%BD%E6%9B%B8_%E5%86%A5%E7%95%8C%E6%AD%BB%E9%97%98%E7%AF%87_%E7%82%8E%E3%81%AE%E7%B5%86#.E7.99.BB.E5.A0.B4.E4.BA.BA.E7.89.A9).

His name means "black chimera." The [Japanese
chimera](http://jisho.org/words?jap=*%E9%B5%BA*&eng=&dict=edict&tag=&sortorder=relevance)
is a mythical creature with a monkey's head, tanuki's body, tiger's limbs, and
a snake tail.

If you do a Google search for 「黒鵺」, pretty much everything that comes up is
about _Yuu Yuu Hakusho_.
