Mr. Iwamoto (YuYu Hakusho/Ghost Fighter)

Mr. Iwamoto (学上岩本, Iwamoto) is a recurring antagonist of YuYu Hakusho. He is the teacher at Sarayashiki Junior High and is Yusuke Urameshi's school nemesis.

Why He Sucks

 * 1) The problem with Iwamoto is that he is another “jealous, strict teacher” stereotype and a hypocrite, as he hates rebels and delinquents like Yusuke although he steals stuff. More on that later.
 * 2) His design, although better than Akashi's, is still unappealing and basic.
 * 3) He doesn't respect the deceased, when he was shown smiling at Yusuke's funeral.
 * 4) He teamed up with Mr. Akashi to expel Kuwabara and make his friend Akubo lose his job.
 * 5) He taught Akashi to erase correct answers and make them wrong, which is very illegal.
 * 6) He attempted to frame Yusuke by stealing other peoples stuff (most notably another student's pen with a dragon design) and pinning the thief on Yusuke when he didn't even mean no harm to them and steal the stuff.
 * 7) He even tells Keiko to stop hanging out with Yusuke despite Keiko being Yusuke's girlfriend and she doesn't even like Iwamoto.
 * 8) He was later possessed by a demon insect, making him more powerful and terrorizing Keiko and Botan.
 * 9) Despite him doing a lot of horrible things, he hasn't been arrested and even fired from his job.
 * 10) His attempt at thievery had led him to his own downfall.
 * 11) He also works for Suzaku.
 * 12) He has no reason to treat delinquents poorly, but proves that he is a greedy, strict teacher with no sympathy.
 * 13) As above, his entire goals makes no sense (while sometimes understandable to punish delinquents that were in the school)

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) He did deserve that hit from Yusuke's Spirit Gun.
 * 2) At least his design isn't as bad as Akashi's.
 * 3) His voice acting is good.
