Um das Gleichgewicht zwischen Leben und Tod zu erhalten, findet alle 500 Jahre ein Turnier statt, um den nächsten König der Schamanen zu bestimmen. Für Yo Asakura ist die Sache klar: Er wird dieses Turnier mithilfe seines Schutzgeists Amidaru gewinnen! Doch das ist gar nicht so einfach, denn neben all den anderen starken Schamanen ist es vor allem sein Zwillingsbruder Hao, der ihm Steine in den Weg legt.
Finding himself late for class one night, Manta Oyamada, an ordinary middle school student, decides to take a shortcut through the local cemetery. Noticing him, a lone boy sitting on a gravestone invites Manta to stargaze with "them." Realizing that "them" refers to the boy and his ghostly friends, Manta flees the terror. Later, the boy introduces himself as You Asakura, a Shaman-in-training, and demonstrates his powers by teaming up with the ghost of six-hundred-year-old samurai Amidamaru to save Manta from a group of thugs. You befriends Manta due to his ability to see spirits, and with the help of Amidamaru, they set out to accomplish You's goal of becoming the next Shaman King.
