Yugo (Japanese: 勇午, Hepburn: Yūgo) is a Japanese manga series written by Shinji Makari and illustrated by Akana Shu. It was serialized in Kodansha's Monthly Afternoon magazine from December 1993 to July 2004. The series was transferred to Evening magazine where the subtitle "the Negotiator" is added in. Subsequent compilations of the original manga also add this phrase. The manga was adapted into an anime television series in 2004 as Yugo the Negotiator. The anime comprises the manga's first two major arcs, which fit within 13 episodes.
