~Inuyasha~
Occupation: none
Age: 16 (appearance in human years)
Race: hanyou [half-demon]
Ability: Warrior Origin: unknown
Relatives: Sesshoumaru
Love Interests: Kagome, Kikyou
Retainer: Myouga
> Weekness: On the frist night of the new moon Inuyasha trun's into a human and lose's all of he's demoink power's
Inuyasha is a hanyou [half-demon], and his father, a dog taiyoukai [demon lord], also has a full demon son named Sesshoumaru, who despises Inuyasha. Their father died before the story even began, but he left each of his sons very powerful swords. Inuyasha's sword, Tessaiga, can kill 100 youkai with one swing. Sesshoumaru's sword, Tenseiga, can bring life back to 100 people. Inuyasha's mother, a very beautiful, kind person, is also already deceased.
Personality: Hot-tempered and slightly tactless, Inuyasha has a hard time trusting anyone (half-demons have a hard time trying to live with either species peacefully). He fell in love with a priestess named Kikyou, who guarded and purified the Shikon no Tama [Jewel of Four Souls], an item that grants a demon great powers. Inuyasha had wanted to become human in order to be with her, but Naraku tricked them into hating each other--another reason why Inuyasha has a hard time trusting anyone. With Kagome's appearance in his life, Inuyasha is starting to learn love and trust again. Nonetheless, Inuyasha has a great deal of conflict over whether he wants to be with Kikyou or Kagome because he loves both of them.
Skills: Inuyasha has several claw attacks. One is called Sankon Tessou [Soul-Shattering Iron Claws], and another is Hijin Kessou [Flying Claws of Blood]. His sword, Tessaiga [Iron Fang] has its own special abilities; Kaze no Kizu [Wound of the Wind], Bakuryuuha [Explosive Wave Technique], and Kekkaigiri [Barrier-Destroying]. He can also run fast and far, jump high and far, and he's very strong.
InuYasha is a half dog demon. ("inu" means "dog" in Japanese) He has a brother, Sesshoumaru, that is full demon. InuYasha's mother was human and his father was the most powerful demon in the world. One day he met Kikyo, fell in love, and was tricked into attacking her, before she died, she shot him with an arrow and stuck him to a sacred tree. 50 years later, Kagome came to InuYasha’s time and grants him freedom. Now, he goes in the quest to recover the shards of the Shikon Jewel with Kagome in hope of becoming all demon. Inu-Yasha holds his father's grave in the small dot (a black pearl) in his right eye. His sword is called Tetsusaiga, which was made from his father's left fang. Inu-Yasha sometimes acts like a jerk to Kagome, but it's only because he is hiding his own insecurities and bad memories. He really does care for her. It's pretty well known that on a new moon, Inu-Yasha assumes a full human form where his hair becomes black hair, his eyes violet, and his Tetsusaiga will no longer transform for him. But few realize that the opposite is true: that under the right conditions Inu-Yasha can assume a full youkai form. This is because of Tetsusaiga. Since it can only be held by someone with human blood, it acts as a restraint against Inu-Yasha assuming his youkai form. But when Tetsusaiga is broken by Goshinki, that form comes uncorked…and to see Inu-Yasha in that rampaging form is absolutely scary.
Sango:
>Occupation: youkai taijiya
[demon exterminator]
>Age: 16
>Race: human
>Ability: exterminating demons >Origin: taijiya no mura [Exterminator's Village]
>Relatives: Kohaku
>Love Interests: Miroku
>Pet: Kirara
>Weekness: Her bother
Sango, her brother Kohaku, and their father (the village leader), all lived in a village of demon exterminators. It was their trade, and they were good at their jobs. However, the first night that Kohaku went to fight demons with his older sister, father, and other exterminators, they ran into Naraku. Naraku used a spider demon to control Kohaku, and made him kill his and Sango's father and the other exterminators. He almost killed Sango, and ended up dying when the people who hired them shot Kohaku after his crazed attack of his family and friends. They also shot Sango full of arrows, thinking that she had gone insane as well. That night, everyone in her village was killed by a huge swarm of demons, all controlled by Naraku. Obviously, poor Sango was mentally scarred for life. Though she thought Kohaku had died, Naraku used a Shikon shard to keep her brother alive in order to use him not only as a mindless drone, but also as a means to manipulate the Yasha gang since Kohaku is important to one of its members.
Personality: Sango really loves her brother, and hates to see him being used. However, the only thing keeping him alive is a Shikon shard in his back. She is trying desperately to get her brother back, not the lifeless shell that Naraku has made--the real Kohaku doesn't want to remember what he did (though he was forced) that awful night. She is a brave, kind, loving person.
Skills: Sango has a great weapon, her Hiraikotsu [Flying Bone], a huge boomerang. She uses it to slice the enemy, whether it's one big demons or a bunch of them together, and to block attacks. She can also use a small katana very well, and there is a hidden pop-up dagger on her right wrist.
Kikyou:
>Occupation: miko [priestess]
>Age: 18 (appearance in human years)
>Race: human (undead)
>Abilities: haja [Crushing Evil], taima [Demon Expulsion] >Origin: Kaede's Village
>Relatives: Kaede
>Love Interests: Inuyasha
>Pet: Shinidama Chuu [Soul-Snatchers]
>Weekness:The hole fact that she dead I guess
Fifty years ago, the townspeople of Sango's village were the first to find the Shikon no Tama [Jewel of Four Souls] and gave it to Kikyou to safeguard and purify. Inuyasha came to stealit, but though Kikyou could have killed him, she decided not to out of mercy. It intrigued Inuyasha, and he began to follow her everywhere. He and Kikyou subsequently interacted a lot, and they fell in love. Naraku, using his powers to disguise himself as Inuyasha, met with Kikyou one morning after she told Inuyasha that she'd use the Shikon to turn him human. Naraku slashed at her, mortally wounding her, and successfully tricked her into thinking that Inuyasha had come to kill her and take the Shikon. Inuyasha was also tricked into thinking that Kikyou had betrayed him when Naraku took her form and shot at him. Naraku put the Shikon back in Kikyou's temple, and the real Inuyasha went after the jewel as revenge. As he was escaping with the jewel, the real Kikyou used the last of her strength to seal Inuyasha to a tree. She died moments later. Now, having been resurrected, she is living a half-life since her body cannot have the soul that's already been reincarnated in Kagome. Her body is supported by the souls of the dead, brought to her by Shinidama Chuu [Soul-Snatchers].
Personality: Kikyou seems very sad and regretful. Her "resurrected" personality is actually different from the personality she had when she was alive. Her new personality is much more bitter, and she is easily angered.
Skills: Kikyou has wonderful skill with a bow, and shoots very powerful Hamaya [Purity Arrows]. Her holy powers give her a lot of resistance to Naraku's spells, and she can always defeat many Illusion or Control spells. The Shinidama Chuu are the demons that she controls
Kikyou is a priestess from the Warring States Era (I think that's it). She is a very powerful Miko with incredible archery skills. She once guarded the Shikon no Tama and maintained its purity. Demons from all over tried to steal the jewel from her, but she killed them all. Until one day, a half-demon named Inuyasha tried to take it from her in order to become a full demon. She refused to kill him because he was half-human. So instead, he followed her around, and before anyone knew it, they had fallen in love. Kikyou was blessed with supernatural powers and therefore, could not live the life of a normal woman. She constantly held responsibility, taking care of everyone, and guarding the jewel. So, she and Inuyasha decided one day that he'd use the jewel to become human, and therefore the Shikon would disappear and Kikyou will be free of her powers, and could live the life of a normal woman, allowing she and InuYasha to finally be together. But things did NOT go as planned. An evil, shape-shifting demon named Naraku took on the form of InuYasha. He approached Kikyou and struck her down. Of course Kikyou didn't know that it wasn't really InuYasha, so she died hating him for "betraying" her. Then Naraku convinced the REAL InuYasha to break into Kikyou's village and steal the Shikon Jewel. Kikyou, bloodied and bruised, caught up with InuYasha, and with her last ounce of strength, she used her Enchanted Arrow to "kill" him, and she told her younger sister, Kaede, to burn the Shikon with her body. Fifty years later, Kikyou's ashes were stolen from Kaede's shrine, and a witch resurrected her in order to steal the undead Miko's powers. Kikyou saw InuYasha and she tried to kill him, thinking he betrayed her fifty years ago. She eventually learns the truth about her death, and now she's after Naraku.
Sesshomuru:
Occupation: demon lord
>Age: 19 (appearance in human years)
>Race: inu youkai [dog demon]
>Function: kanzen youkai [perfect demon] >Origin: unknown
>Relatives: Inuyasha
>Love Interests: none
>Retainer/Follower: Jaken, Rin, Ah-Un
>Weekness: none
Sesshoumaru is Inuyasha's older half-brother. Their father, also a demon lord, had Inuyasha with a human female, but we don't know about Sesshoumaru's mother (yet). Sesshoumaru hates Inuyasha for having human blood (at least, that's the reason he gives everyone), and feels insulted that their father gave Tessaiga to Inuyasha while giving Tenseiga to Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru can't even steal Tessaiga from Inuyasha--only a hanyou [half-demon] can hold and wield Tessaiga (showing that the father did indeed intend the sword to be for Inuyasha only). He now also has it in for Naraku, who tried to use one of his followers to force his hand (so for a while, he and the Yasha gang have the same goal).
Personality: Sesshoumaru is cold-hearted, but we have seen signs of compassion. In episode 35, he saves the life of a human child, Rin, and then is seen taking care of her, even guarding her, in later episodes. He still has a lot of ambition, of course, and he still hates Inuyasha's guts, but perhaps someday he'll come to tolerate his little half-brother.
Skills: In his human form, Sesshoumaru can use many poison attacks (Dokkasou [Toxic Flower Claw] and Dokumukou [Paralyzing Poison]). He can move very fast, and he has excellent senses. In his demonic form, he's a very large dog with sharp, strong, poisonous teeth, who can breath out very toxic, acidic air (Jakimukou [Paralyzing Miasma]). He primarily uses a sword named Toukijin, useful for when Tenseiga isn't helpful in battle, and Toukijin's attacks include Kenatsu [Sword Blast]. A "special attack" listed in the official character guide is Kegawa no Riyou [Pelt User], which refers to the strange ways in which he uses the pelt over his shoulder throughout the series. His poison whip is not mentioned in the character guide, but it just might be an extension of Dokkasou.
Sesshoumaru is InuYasha’s older brother, but unlike InuYasha, he is full demon. His major "beef" with InuYasha is that he has the Tetsusaiga, Phantom Sword, and he won’t give it up. He soon will gain Tensaiga, the sword. Sesshoumaru is constantly trying to kill InuYasha and doesn't seem to care for his brothers or any other living things life.
Rin:
~Rin~
>Occupation: none
>Age: ~8 (estimated)
>Race: human
>Ability: Being Cute >Origin: unknown
>Relatives: none
>Love Interests: none
>Pet: Ah-Un (hehe)
>Weekness: none that I know of
Rin is a human female child, who lost her parents and siblings to group of murderous raiders, and who went mute after their deaths. She stole food to survive, and got herself beat up by the local villagers a lot since she was a burden to them. She found Sesshoumaru after he was attacked full frontal by Inuyasha's Kaze no Kizu [Wound of the Wind], and decides to try to take care of him, but he does not accept her caretaking. However, after she's beaten up for stealing food on his behalf, he cool-headedly inquires about the bruises on her face. Even Rin knows then that he's not completely cold, and gives him a big smile. However, he leaves her to her own devices once he is healed up, and this is when Kouga's tribe first enters the series. Though you think of Kouga as a nice guy, don't forget that he let his wolves murder everyone in Rin's village, including Rin! Thankfully, though, Sesshoumaru revived her using Tenseiga, and everything was happy again.
Personality: Rin is absolutely adhered to Sesshoumaru. She does exactly what he says, no matter what. She even makes fun of Jaken when he annoys Sesshoumaru in order to help out her savior. She's otherwise a happy child, and pretty likeable.
Skills: She's a human child...she can't really do anything. She can at least beat up on Jaken. That's a plus any day.
Kagome:
Kagome
>Occupation: junior high student
>Age: 15
>Race: human
>Ability: Nursing; Bow-User >Origin: Tokyo
>Relatives: Grandfather, Mother, Souta
>Love Interests: Inuyasha
>Pet: Buyo
>Weekness: She does not know what she can do till it's almost to laet.
Kagome is a 15-year-old junior high student from present day Japan. She lives with her mother, younger brother, and grandfather in a home on the estate of a very old temple. The temple's sacred tree is the same as the one to which Inuyasha was sealed so many years ago. One morning as she was leaving for school, Kagome and her brother were searching for the family cat, Buyo. She found Buyo inside the wellhouse, but a demon from medieval Japan burst in through the Bone-Gobbling Well, grabbing Kagome and pulling her to medieval Japan. She fights off the demon, unknowingly using the power of the Shikon no Tama [Jewel of Four Souls] hidden inside her body (what the demon was trying to get by attacking her). After dispatching the demon, Kagome pops back out of the well, only to realize that she's not where she thought she was. Thus begins her adventures with Inuyasha, whose seal she breaks. Over time, she falls in love with Inuyasha, only to find heartache since he stills loves another.
Personality: Courageous and surprisingly smart, Kagome has a strong moral center, determination, and lots of tact. Though she and Inuyasha seem to fight a lot, she is very protective of him and the other members of the Yasha gang. She knows her feelings well, and does not try to hide them from herself.
Skills: Just as Kikyou had much skill with a bow, Kagome can shoot Hamaya [Purity Arrows], which damage even the powerful bad guys in the show, like Naraku. She also eventually can even use her bow to ward off demons.
Kagome is a young woman from modern-day Japan. She appears to be a normal girl and is until one day, on the morning of her fifteenth birthday, she falls into the family well, and just happens to possess the ancient Shikon Jewel passed down by her family from the mighty priestess Kikyo. She comes into InuYasha’s time line just to be attacked by a centipede demon. She can either be killed for the Jewel she possesses or free the evil InuYasha from his prison. She frees InuYasha from the mystic arrow, which bound him for fifty years.
Kagome can keep InuYasha’s urge to strike for the jewel under control with her "Sit" command.
Now they must search together throughout Ancient Japan for the Shards of the Shikon Jewel.
Though InuYasha and Kagome hate each other now, they eventully will learn to like, or should I say love, each other.
Miroku:
>Occupation: houshi [monk]
>Age: 18
>Race: human
>Ability: taima [Demon Expulsion]
>Origin: Mushin's Temple
>Relatives: Mushin [guardian]
>Love Interests: Sango
>Retainer: Hachiemon
>Weekness: Well the hole thing is that he a LECHER that's it.
Miroku is a lecherous monk. He asks every pretty woman he meets if she'll bear his child. Though this sounds quite ridiculous, Miroku has a good reason to ask. He, his grandfather, and his father were cursed by Naraku with what is called a kazaana [Wind Tunnel]. It's basically a black hole in the palm of his right hand, and he must use a monk's seal to keep it from sucking in everything around him. The bad part of this curse is that the Wind Tunnel will eventually suck him in as well, just as it did to his father and grandfather. Thus, Miroku has to continue his family's line so that if he fails to kill Naraku, thus lifting the curse, his son will have to take on the job. He meets up with Kagome and Inuyasha early on in the series. Finding that he and Inuyasha have the same purpose (finding the Shikon shards and killing Naraku), he helps as best he can whenever they fight Naraku's evil forces.
Personality: Miroku seems superfluous and flaky, but he constantly worries about the curse in his hand, and feels that time is running out. He has a good sense of humor, cares for the others in the Yasha gang, and makes great sacrifices if he feels it will help them.
Skills: Though his Wind Tunnel is his most powerful weapon, he sometimes cannot use it due to Naraku's Saimyoushou [Hell's Insects], which sometimes pop up to willingly get sucked into the Wind Tunnel, stinging Miroku as they enter. However, he also has some significant holy powers, which he can use to protect the others by making a invisible shell over them, and his shakujou [monk's staff] is a pretty good holy weapon.
Miroku is a fellow who has earned where he is now... by cheating, lying, and stealing. His trick is to lure folks into believing that a dark spirit is stalking them, and then "helping" them out while getting to spend the night and eat a hearty supper. The next day he finds another poor sucker to set up and he leaches from them for a night or two, and so on. He comes into contact with Inu-Yasha and Kagome early on and Kagome senses shards of the Shikon Jewel and the fight is on. During the battle, Miroku unleashes his trump card, and his curse. His great grandfather was cursed to have a black hole in his hand, called the Windtunnel, which sucks up anything in it's path. Miroku inherited that curse. He unleashes it, nearly taking in Inu-Yasha, but he closes it when Kagome jumps in the way as he didn't want to kill her. He joins the quest for shards of the Shikon afterwards. Miroku becomes even more involved in the quest for the Shikon Jewel when he learns that Naraku had been the one who had stolen the jewel. Naraku had also been the demon who had cursed his grandfather (and now him) with the Windtunnel [Kazaana]. Now he has to take care of his own Windtunnel in order to prolong his life. The Windtunnel is normally sealed by prayer beads wrapped around his hand. It will slowly grow over time and can be aggravated if treated badly. Unless Naraku is defeated and the curse lifted, the Windtunnel will eventually grow beyond his hand and become uncontrollable, engulfing Miroku himself before disappearing. That had been the fate of his father and grandfather. Miroku introduces Inu-Yasha and company to his friend, the raccoon demon Hachi. Also, Miroku has feelings for Sango.
Shippo:
>Occupation: none
>Age: 7 (appearance in human years)
>Race: kitsune youkai [fox demon]
>Ability: Black Magic User >Origin: unknown
>Relatives: none
>Love Interests:Satsuki
>Pet/Retainer: none
>Weekness: He isn't that stroung yet to fight with the Big Bad Deman's
Shippou is very young and so does not have the power of some other demons. His father, who was killed for his pelt by Hiten and Manten, was the last person that Shippou had as family. Thus, he tags along with the Yasha gang after Kagome and Inuyasha avenged his father's death. Though he and Inuyasha do not get along at all, Shippou wants Kagome to be happy, and tries to encourage Inuyasha's feelings for Kagome.
Personality: Also hot-tempered, but with the innocent mind of a child, Shippou likes to help out whenever possible (since his fighting abilities aren't too much help, being that he's so young). He's very observant of other people's feelings, even if, like a kid, he blurts things out a bit too much.
Skills: He can become a floating pink balloon, leave a trail of Naki Kinoko [Weeping Mushrooms] in case someone needs to follow him, and change his appearance (the transformations aren't always complete). His attacks include magical illusions: Tsubushi Goma [Smashing Top], Bunshin [Divide], and Kitsune Bi [Fox Fire]. Some of his "ingredients" include: ofuda [charm], ojizousan no moto [Element of Ojizou-san: an enlightened person who looks over children, travelers, and the Underworld], ganguma [toy horse], ganguhebi [toy snake], goma [top], happa [leaf], kinoko [mushrooms], and dosogeri [acorns].
Shippou is a little fox demon who Inuyasha and Kagome happened to meet.Shippou explains to them how his father was killed by the Thunder Brothers and he has to exact his revenge.So Inuyasha and Kagome decide to help Shippou and defeat the Thunder Brothers.After the struggle and defeat of the Thunder Brothers Shippou decides to accompany them on their quest for the Shikon shards.Shippou doesn't play that big of a part in Inuyasha, he gets scared when there's fighting wouldn't blame him for his size.Also there isn't many episodes that Shippou is the center character.
Kiara:
Kirara is a fire neko-youkai who is used for transportation by Sango. She has three forms, one of a small kitten, one of a large cat resembling a saber-toothed tiger, and one that kind of looks like a furry dragon. She is very cute and cuddly in her kitten form, but in her tiger form flames emerge from her feet and tails and she can take on even the most dagerous of demons. Also in her tiger form, she can fly, which is useful when Kagome wants to return home. She normaly carrys Sango and Miroku because they can't keep up with InuYasha as he runs. Kirara is Sango's pet, but her original owner was preistess Midoriko, the creator of the Shicon no Tama.
Myoga:
"Myoga is a very old flea demon, put in charge of guarding Inuyasha's father's grave, but now is InuYasha's companion. He only appears off and on. He has very little confidence in the others abilities, fleeing at any sign of danger. He is very wise, and despite his cowardice, is an asset to Inuyasha. He quite enjoys sucking blood, which can also help those who are poisoned. However, being a flea, his size allows for the others to flatten him whenever he gets annoying...
