At in the last episodes of _Yu Yu Hakusho_ , when Yusuke met the Raizen's
subordinates, they explained that Raizen stopped using humans as food, but his
subordinates didn't. Moreover, the other two Makai Kings (Yomi and Mukuro)
still use humans as the main food source. So it's possible to say that all
their subordinates and maybe others youkai do that.

However since it's difficult to open a gate between ningenkai (human world)
and makai (demon world), given the difficulty Sensui had. Was there an
explanation to how could all the Class A/S youkai get so many humans?

question
yu-yu-hakusho
Where did the humans used as food in Makai come from?


We know that it was very difficult for A- and S-class demons to reach the
human world. So the lords definitely weren't harvesting humans for themselves.

But it seems that it isn't that hard for demons of lower classes to reach the
human world. Hiei and his gang managed to get through early in the series. The
demon Rando gets through and enters Genkai's disciple selection tournament.
The Four Saint Beasts send lower-level demons to scout in the human world, and
probably could have come themselves if they weren't sealed inside their
castle, since [according to the
wiki](http://yuyuhakusho.wikia.com/wiki/The_Four_Saint_Beasts) they were all
C-class or lower. Hiei's sister Yukina manages to get into the human world,
where she is captured by Gonzo Tarukane and then rescued by Yusuke and
Kuwabara. Several demon teams compete in the Dark Tournament, which is in the
human world, IIRC.

So I think we can assume that lower-ranked demons were coming into the human
world and harvesting humans to bring back to the Demon World for the A- and
S-class demons to feast on. This is similar to what the Saint Beasts were
doing with their scouts.
