  Appendix H: Inu Yasha 
   
   
  Series Summary 
  Inu Yasha is the latest successful manga epic by Rumiko Takahashi, the author and artist who 
  in the past has brought us One Pound Gospel, Urusei Yatsura, Ranma 1/2, and the Mermaid 
  Saga. Inu Yasha is set primarily in Japan's feudal age, or Sengoku period. Obviously, the 
  Fuzion edition of the game Sengoku, by Gold Rush Games, will be of some importance in 
  running an Inu Yasha game. Anyway, let's get on to the synopsis of Inu Yasha. 
   
  Kagome Higurashi is the resident of a Tokyo temple with a 1,000 year history. Her 
  grandfather is the keeper of the shrines on the property. On her 15th birthday, as she sought 
  to get her cat out of the shrine housing the Bone Eater's Well. A youkai bursts forth from the 
  mystically sealed well, dragging her down into it and into the ancient past. 
   
  Once in the past, she discovers several grave thinga about herself. First, she learns 
  she is the bearer of the Shikon no Tama, the Jewel of the Four Spirits. Second, the discovers 
  she is the reincarnation of a powerful Mikko, Kikyo, and lastly, she meets Inu-Yasha, the dog-
  eared Hanyou who will eventually become not only her protector, but her first love as well. 
   
  In the past, the Shikon no Tama is freed from its imprisonment in her body and stolen 
  by Youkai. In an effort to recover it, she accidentally shatters it as she slays the Youkai that 
  stole it. The shards of the stone spread across the lands, and she is forced to recover them. 
  While Inu-Yasha has the strength to recover them, only Kagome has the power to see the 
  shards. 
   
  Over the course of these efforts, she would fight many youkai, recover many shards, 
  make many friends, and discover the dark secrets behind both the Shikon no Tama and the 
  evil Naraku who seeks it out. 
   
  In addition to this book, the various Sengoku books from Gold Rush Games will also 
  be of great use for running such a campaign, as the Sengoku game provides in-depth detail of 
  the culture, society and history of the era Inu Yasha is set in. 
   
  This appendix will be modified as Inu Yasha continues publication.

  Additional Rules Modifications 
  "Monsters as Characters" 
  One thing Inu Yasha does is present a mix of powerful characters of multiple species. 
  Kagome, Sango and Miroku are all human, as Kikyo was at one point. Inu Yasha is a 
  halfbreed. Sessho-Maru, Kikyo and most others are Youkai. This presents a bit of a dilemma 
  with the long standing RPG traditions of "no monsters as player characters". However, in Inu 
  Yasha, the humans have well proven they can stand their ground against the Youkai, so there 
  is no reason why players should be forbidden from creating Youkai or Hanyou as characters. 
  Well, there is one reason; such characters shouldn't be used as an excuse to play and "evil 
  character". Inu Yasha is good at heart, not evil, and his goal is to change himself with the 
  Shikon no Tama so he will no longer be an outcast. His brother, Sessho-Maru, isn't presented 
  as overly evil. Had he been, Kagome would have died in her first encounter with him. 
  Eventually, he even takes an orphan child under his wing in an effort to discover why his 
  father had a soft spot for humans.  
  So if a player wants a youkai character, they'd better have a damn good reason for 
  associating with humans beyond "they make good slaves/food/cannon fodder/whatever". 
   
  Refereeing 
  From the beginning, many might wonder how exactly to run a game using the setting 
  of Inu Yasha. Obviously, players can use the story characters, but that will be problematic 
  considering the disparity of power between them all. Most will overlook the most important 
  fact in the storyline: Both Miroku and Sango both knew of the Shikon no Tama and were 
  collecting shard on their own when they encountered Inu Yasha and Kagome for the first time. 
  There's no reason why the PCs cannot be yet another group hunting for the shards in order to 
  destroy them. Additionally, the story provides plenty of backstory that can influence this as 
  well. 50 years prior to Kagome's arrival in the past, Sango's village was guardian of the Shikon 
  no Tama, repeatedly losing and recovering it over the course of several centuries. There is no 
  reason why a campaign cannot be set prior to Inu Yasha and Kikyo's fateful encounter. 
  Additionally, Sango considers herself the last of the Youkai Taijiya, though she cannot be 
  absolutely sure that one or of the less skilled members of her village had not been dispatched 
  to help some other village when her home was destroyed. After all, by the time she returend 
  to her village, Inu Yasha and company had buried all the villagers that had corpses survive the 
  youkai assault, so no one can truly be sure how many people were consumed. 
   
  New Talents, Perks, Privileges, and Complications 
  Purity (20) - This talent need not 
  manifest outwardly, as in bearing an 
  innocent manner. Rather it is having a 
  pure and good heart with the power to 
  placate the angry, tame the wild, or purify 
  evil. In Inu Yasha, both Kagome and Kikyo 
  possess purity in the form of purifying evil. 
  They can in fact use the power upon items, 
  making them equally pure and useful as 
  weapons. Another example is Princess 
  Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind, whose 
  purity manifested in the ability to fly like 
  she had wings and to communicate with 
  and calm animals and insects. A third 
  example would be Beldandy from Ah, My 
  Goddess! Her purity is an ability to placate 
  anyone experiencing any sort of negative 
  emotions with only a smile. 
   
  Demon 
  Blood 
  (Varies) 
  - 
  Demons 
  occasionally breed with humans, resulting 
  in Hanyou children, half man, half demon. 
  The demon blood is a powerful thing, that, 
  if it does not grant immortality, it will grant 
  a greatly extended life. Youkai cannot take 
  this; it is meant only to present itself as a 
  benefit 
  for 
  humans 
  descended 
  from 
  Taiyoukai. 
  • 
  At 15 points, the hanyou will live at 
  least 200 years and has REC x 2. 
  • 
  At 30 points, the hanyou will live at 
  least 500 years and has REC x 3. 
  • 
  At 45 points, the hanyou will live at 
  least 1000 years and has REC x 4. 
  • 
  At 60 points, the hanyou is truly 
  immortal and will recover from any 
  wound at REC x 3. The best a Mikko 
  can hope to do is to seal such a Hanyou 
  into a state of suspended animation, as 
  Kikyo did to Inu Yasha. Hanyou so 
  
  Naughty Tentacles, the Fuzion Sourcebook for Anime Horror 
  Appendix H: Inu Yasha 
  H - 3 
  sealed tend to equate the state with 
  death. 
   
  Spirit Drain (Varies) - This is both a perk 
  and a complication. The character gains 
  sustenance from souls it captures. There 
  are two ways this works; either the 
  character entraps the souls and uses their 
  energy, or the character consumes the 
  souls, a far more powerful but evil option.  
  Entrapment Spirit Drain (25 
  points): The character gains 1 point for 
  increasing 
  stats 
  for 
  every 
  10 
  souls 
  entrapped within the character. These 
  points only last as long as the soul is kept 
  trapped. If it is released for any reason, be 
  it theft by another Spirit Drainer, exorcism, 
  or willful release, the points gained will be 
  lost. Stealing souls from another spirit 
  drainer is a WILL vs WILL contest. 
  Consuming 
  Spirit 
  Drain 
  (35 
  Points): The character gains one point for 
  every five souls consumed. This point lasts 
  for one full month before the spirit drainer 
  must feed again. The advantages are that 
  the points gained cannot be lost until they 
  wear out. 
  In either case, the character can 
  also use the energy of a newly obtained 
  soul to regenerate, thereby healing all 
  physical wounds they suffer from. 
   
  New Templates 
  MIKKO 
  In Rumiko Takahashi's works, there is a bit 
  of disregard for proper historical examples. 
  The most blatant disregard is the Mikko. 
  Historically, 
  they 
  were 
  merely 
  shirne 
  maidens, little more than caretakers for a 
  shrine or temple. Throughout Takahashi's 
  works, the Mikko have been maiden 
  priestess 
  warriors 
  for 
  fairly 
  powerful 
  capacity. Sakura, the Mikko/School Nurse 
  from Urusei Yatsura was highly skilled as 
  an exorcist and diviner. And in Inu Yasha, 
  Kikyo represents an even more powerful 
  Mikko, one who regularly battles with 
  demons and has the capacity to purify the 
  evil in the Shikon no Tama. 
   
  Mikko are the temple Maidens and 
  Shrine Priestesses of many ancient shrines 
  and temples spread throughout Japan. 
  While 
  today 
  they 
  perform 
  the 
  usual 
  religious services and tend the holy places, 
  they 
  are 
  typically 
  shadows 
  of 
  their 
  predecessors in ages long past. During the 
  feudal 
  era, 
  the 
  Mikko 
  were 
  maiden 
  protectors of the holy shrines and temples 
  (and the villages in which such holy places 
  resided), fighting back the evil of invading 
  hanyou, youkai and shinma. Many were 
  known for their pure hearts and spirit, 
  which could on occasion be used to purify 
  items contaminated with evil energies 
  (yoruyouki). Like the historical examples, 
  these Mikko must also maintain their 
  purity, meaning she will lose her power 
  once she takes a lover or husband.

  Archery, Swords, Rhetoric, Leadership, 
  Incense Ceremony, Herbalist, Folklore,  
  Options: Danger Sense, Acute Special 
  Sense (Detect Youkai), Damage Deflection, 
  Find Weakness. 
  Equipment: The Mikko is highly respected 
  by the community she lives in, and is 
  therefore well cared for, so most mundane 
  things she requires will be available when 
  she needs it. She will also have a sword 
  and/or bow & arrows, which she has likely 
  crafted herself, or at the very least 
  maintains 
  very 
  lovingly 
  and 
  regularly 
  blesses. 
   
  HOUSHI 
  While the Mikko is typically bound to a 
  particular 
  location, 
  the 
  Houshi 
  is 
  a 
  wandering priest or monk who spreads the 
  word, traveling from village to village, 
  temple to temple, shrine to shrine. Much 
  like the Mikko, the Houshi is the foe of all 
  Youkai and helps anyone they encounter 
  who is in need. While the Mikko leans most 
  heavily into the traditions of the Shinto, 
  Houshi tend more towards the practition of 
  Bhuddism, and can be as fallible and 
  flawed as the average man.

  Options: Danger Sense, Acute Special 
  Sense (Detect Youkai). 
  Equipment: Houshi typically live off the 
  land, having little more than their robes, 
  sandals, holy staff, and a bit of money. 
  When they enter a village, they will 
  typically arrange shelter with the local 
  temple or shrine, or hunt for youkai 
  infesting a home or two in the village, 
  exorcising the spirits in return for a decent 
  meal and a place to sleep for the night. 
   
  YOUKAI TAIJIYA 
  The Youkai Taijiya - Monster Exterminator. 
  In the age of sengoku, these hermit-like 
  clans were responsible for the protection of 
  villages that did not possess a temple or 
  shrine large enough or important enough 
  to be home to a Mikko. When a youkai 
  rampaged near the village, the elders could 
  dispatch a messenger to summon one or 
  more Taijiyas to protect the village and 
  hopefully eliminate the threat as well. 
  The Youkai Taijiya fight fire with fire - the 
  collect the remains of the youkai they 
  exterminate, using the carcasses, bone, 
  fang, claw, hide, whatever they could, in 
  order to create powerful weapons capable 
  of harming or killing the monsters they 
  hunted. 
  The 
  Youruyouki, 
  or 
  monster 
  energies of the carcasses would permeate 
  the weapons and armor, strengthening 
  them without the need to have them 
  enchanted.

  New Magical Powers 
   
  Arrow of Purification - Used by both Kikyo and Kagome, they can empower normal arrows 
  with the capacity to inflict grievous harm to youkai. For lesser common youkai, the arrows 
  virtually mean certain death. For most unique but weak youkai, these arrows are crippling. 
  And for taiyoukai, it wounds are serious, but not crippling and rarely lethal. (Lethal Attack 4, 
  Affects Only Youkai, Reagent, Focus Through, Religion: 1 END, 1 CP) 
  15 
  The arrow becomes heavy, -2 to hit and half range, otherwise acts normally. 
  20 
  The arrow does 4D6 killing damage 
  30 
  The arrow does 8D6 killing damage 
   
   
  Arrow of Sealing - Once struck by this arrow, any youkai will lapse into a state of suspended 
  animation until the arrow is removed. The state of suspended animation is brought about by 
  reducing the youkai's STR to 0 (or by up to 12 points). This spell is extremely difficult to cast. 
  ( Restraint 5,  Adjust Characteristic 3, Affects Only Youkai, Permanent, Focus Through, 
  Reagent, Religion, Lengthy Casting Ceremony: 100 END, 56 CP) 
  25 
  The seal will fails at some point after one year passes. 
  35 
  The seal will weaken and fail at some point after 50 years pass. 
  45 
  The youkai is sealed permanently, or until a sufficiently powerful mikko 
  removes the arrow. 
  50 
  The spell will reduce STR by up to 18 points. 
  55 
  Rather than sealing the youkai, it is instead slain and its spirit dispatched to 
  the next world.

  H - 5 
  Word of Binding - Using a necklace as the medium, the Mikko can bind a youkai with the 
  necklace, its power triggered by a trigger word, meant as a means to control the youkai 
  through physical pain. In Inu Yasha, the example of this is the necklace worn by Inu Yasha, 
  triggered when Kagome speaks the word "sit". Inu Yasha's body is slammed into the ground 
  with sufficient force to leave a sizable depression. (Stun Attack 5, Enchantment, Duration 1 
  Year, Triggered, Stun Only, Affects Only Youkai, Focus Through, Reagents, Religion: 25 END, 
  15 CP.) 
  25 
  When triggered, the spell will cause 3D6 stun damage. 
  35 
  When triggered, the spell's effects will cause 5D6 stun damage. 
  45 
  When triggered, the spell will cause 6D6 stun damage, and the duration is two 
  years. 
   
   
  Air Void – This magical effect is more of a curse doomed to eventually consume its victim. 
  Effecting the victim’s hand, it creates a powerful void which sucks in immense volumes of 
  material and disintegrates it. If used for too long a period, the void will expand, eventually 
  consuming the victim as well. The void can only be sealed with a religious seal. The Air Void 
  will generate a great gale force wind as it sucks things in and will suck in anything no secured 
  within 100 meters before it. Anything sucked in will suffer 15D6 damage from disintegration 
  each phase until destroyed. Each time use of the void exceeds a minute, it will begin harming 
  the user. For each phase beyond a minute, the wound will cause 1D6 damage to the user. If 
  any of the dice rolled come up with a 6, the void expands, raising the Disintegration value by 
  1 and increasing the damage the Air Void will do to the user by 1D6.(Disintegration 15, 
  Change Environment 10, Apportation 4, Duration: Permanent: 9200 END, 123 CP) 
  50 or less 
  The spell fails, consuming its target. 
  80 
  The Air Void is not permanent, instead lasting 1d10 months. 
  120 
  Functions normally. 
  150 
  Functions normally and becomes an inherited curse, passed on to any and all 
  offspring of the victim. It can only be stopped by killing the original source of 
  the curse. 
   
   
   
   
   
  New Psychic and Demonic Powers 
  Claws of Rending Steel - One of several powers possessed by Inu Yasha. By invoking this 
  power, the claws on his hands gain incredible strength, capable of rending steel, shattering 
  trees, and tearing crevasses in the earth. (Lethal Attack 7, Gesture, Associative:  13 END, 5

  Claws of Blood – The second power possessed by Inu Yasha. By steeping his claws in his 
  own blood until the are dripping wet, he can then slash, flinging his blood a great distance 
  while empowering it with the same strength his claws bear. (Lethal Attack 7, Range 7 [128m], 
  Penetrating, Armor-Piercing, Self-Harm, Reagent, Gesture, Associative, Focus Through: 17

  Miasma – Virtually all youkai possess this ability to some extent. It is the ability to radiate 
  evil energy. This energy, frequently taking the form of vapors, is extremely destructive, 
  burning living materials and corroding everything else. It must be constructed on a case-by-
  case basis, as a Continuous Lethal Attack with Area of Effect and Hole in the Middle (protecting 
  the generating youkai). A giant centipede might have Miasma at lethal Attack1 and Range 0 
  [Touch], totaling 8 END, 10 Diff, and 5 CP, while Nataku's Miasma could engulf an entire castle 
  and destroy it within hours (Lethal 10, Range 9 [500m], Hole in Middle: 37 END, 35 Diff, 25

  Hallucination – A psychic power most common to the Kitsune-Suki, Like Shippo. It is an 
  ability to take a small prop, be it something like a fist full of leaves or a toy top, and from 
  them generate large scale illusions. For instance a toy top may suddenly appear large enough 
  to crush someone. (Metamorph Size +5, Metamorph Form +5, Illusionary, Stun Only 1, 
  Duration 1 min., Focus Through, Reagent: 12 END, 16 CP)

  The illusion is created, but the items retain their original size.

  The illusion operates properly. Any damage caused is stun only. 
  35 
  The illusion lasts several minutes, and experiences “Metamorph Mass” as well, 
  resulting in true physical harm. 
   
   
   
   
  Characters 
  Kagome Higurashi - Kagome Higurashi 
  led a normal life until she fell into the Bone 
  Eater's Well on her fifteenth birthday and 
  was transported to the Sengoku Era of 
  Japan (1467 to about 1600). After she 
  arrived she was attacked by a youkai 
  called Mistress Centipede and while she 
  was running away, she accidentally freed 
  the hanyou named Inu-Yasha, who had 
  been sealed under a spell for 50 years.  
   
  Soon after meeting, the village that 
  Kagome landed in learns that she holds the 
  Shikon no Tama or Jewel of the Four 
  Spirits, in her body. The jewel is soon 
  extracted and accidentally split into dozens 
  of small shards. Inu-Yasha wants to 
  reunite all the parts so that he can become 
  a full-blooded demon. Kagome goes along 
  with him in order to help keep the shards 
  out of the hands of other more corrupt 
  demons. It is a match forced upon both of 
  them. Kagome has not the strength to 
  recover the shards by herself, and Inu-
  Yasha has not the ability to sense or locate 
  the shards. 
   
  Kagome and Inu-Yasha's relationship gets off to a very rough start. Kagome reminds 
  Inu-Yasha of Kikyo, the woman that cast the spell on him, and with whom he was in love. 
  Later, much to Kagome's surprise, everyone learns that she is in fact the reincarnation of 
  Kikyo. Throughout their adventures, the two become closer, but once Kikyo is resurrected by 
  Urasue, their relationship gets put on hold while Inu-Yasha tries to sort out his feelings for 
  Kikyo.

  Kagome's bravery and her (sometimes) excellent marksmanship with her bow and 
  arrow are a constant asset to the group of adventurers in their quest to reunite all the shards 
  of the Shikon Jewel. More importantly, as Kikyo's reincarnation, Kagome has also inherited the 
  power to purify evil. When she touches a shard of the Shikon no Tama, it's color will change as 
  the evil within is consumed, and the arrows she fires from her bow are often capable of 
  destroying at least one youkai when they strike. As an incarnation of Kikyo, Kikyo's various 
  talents eventually appear within Kagome; first the Purity, the the skill at archery, and 
  eventually the Seeking Arrow Okuden. 
    
  Kagome means "woven bamboo pattern" in literal translation. It seems that the name 
  came from the principles of Yin and Yang. Higurashi has no decernable translation.

  Inu-Yasha - Inu-Yasha is the protagonist of 
  our story. He is the son of a demon and a 
  human, and the brother of Sessho-maru. Fifty 
  years ago, Inu-Yasha was pinned to a tree by 
  an arrow and placed into seal in a state of 
  suspended animation by Kikyo, a priestess he 
  loved deeply.  
   
  Five decades later, Inu-Yasha was 
  freed when the arrow was pulled out by 
  Kagome, a reincarnated version of his former 
  (and now deceased love) Kikyo. Harboring a 
  deep feeling of betrayal from what had 
  happened he unwillingly aided Kagome in her 
  search for the Shards of the Shikon no Tama.  
  During their quest Inu-Yasha has 
  discovered that Kikyo has been brought back to live, and the reason she attacked him... it was 
  all set-up by the evil demon Naraku who sought the power of the Shikon no Tama. Now Inu-
  Yasha must make amends with Kikyo, who blames him for her death and sort out his feelings 
  for Kagome. Kikyo, after discovering the truth, seeks first to simply exist, the redirects her 
  murderous hatred on Naraku, leaving Inu-Yasha's unwanted amends to his sense of obligation 
  to her. 
   
  Also of interest, because of Inu-Yasha's mixed parentage, one night each month, he 
  becomes a normal human. This occurs the first night of the new moon. 
   
  Inu means "dog", while "Yasha" means "demon".

  H - 8 
  Kikyo - Kikyo was a priestess charged 
  with guarding the Shikon no Tama from 
  falling into the wrong hands. Demons 
  from across Japan traveled to Kikyo's 
  small village in an attempt to steal the 
  jewel from her and gain incredible 
  powers.  
   
  One of those demons was the 
  Hanyou 
  Inu-Yasha, 
  who 
  repeatedly 
  attempted to steal the jewel. Neither 
  he, nor Kikyo ever attempted to harm 
  one 
  another 
  in 
  the 
  process, 
  and 
  eventually they began to grow close 
  Kikyo believed that they were both 
  similar because they had to mask their 
  humanity. She felt that she could not 
  be a normal human because if she was, 
  she would be slaughtered by demons. 
  Inu-Yasha refused to acknowledge his 
  human side, and was trying to become 
  a full-blooded demon with the aid of 
  the Shikon Jewel.  
   
  Because 
  of 
  their 
  similar 
  situations they began to grow very 
  close. Kikyo realized that if Inu-Yasha 
  would use the jewel to become human rather than a demon, the could both lead normal lives. 
  The jewel, once finally used for a good purpose, would become pure and vanish, thus freeing 
  Kikyo of her obligations as the Shikon's protector.  
   
  On one fateful day, Inu-Yasha appeared before Kikyo and brutally attacked her and 
  took the Shikon Jewel. Betrayed and confused, Kikyo used the last of her powers to put Inu-
  Yasha in a sleep-like state for over fifty years. After completing this, she died.  
   
  Fifty years later, Kikyo was revived by the Ogress Urasue. Upon meeting Inu-Yasha 
  again, he began to realize that their stories did not match-up, and that he never attacked her. 
  It is later revealed that Naraku disguised himself as Inu-Yasha in order to steal the jewel. 
  Unable to believe this, Kikyo still seeks to kill her former lover, Inu-Yasha. 
    
  Kikyo means "bellflower" The name also came from the principles of Yin and Yang. The 
  name "Kikyo" synbolizes five fundamental elements in the principle. 
  The below statistics represent Kikyo when she was alive.

  Kaede - Kaede is the younger sister of Kikyo, the 
  protector of the Shikon Jewel. After her sister's 
  death, Kaede lived on, and continued to lead the 
  village in her sister's absence.  
   
  As decades passed, Kaede grew older, and 
  upon the arrival of Kagome many memories of her 
  deceased sister resurfaced. Once Inu-Yasha was 
  freed, Kaede struck up an uneasy friendship with 
  Inu-Yasha, and trusted him to help Kagome find the 
  pieces of the Shikon Jewel. At some point during the 
  fifty years between Kikyo's death and Kagome's 
  arrival, Kaede lost one eye, probably while battling a 
  youkai. 
   
  Kaede is also the one responsible for the 
  prayer beads Inu-Yasha wears around his neck. 
  When he first encountered Kagome he believed that 
  she had something to do with Kikyo, so he 
  attempted to kill her. In order to prevent this, Kaede 
  slipped the beads around his neck, and forced him to 
  respond to the command "sit".  
   
  Kaede means "maple tree". It is also one of 
  Rumiko Takahashi's favorite names; a character 
  named Kaede has appeared in at least 4 of her mangas.

  Shippo - Kagome and Inu-Yasha first meet 
  Shippo on a battle field, where he has 
  disguised himself as a spirit, in order to scare 
  the two into giving up their Shikon shards. 
  The reason Shippo needs the jewel is so that 
  he can avenge the death of his father at the 
  hands of Hiten and Manten, the Thunder 
  Brothers.  
   
  Shippo is a demon known as a 
  kitsune, or fox demon. He has the the power 
  of illusion, which he uses to decieve and 
  confuse. Shippo's powers also include the 
  ablility to change shape. He has used this 
  power to become everything from a bow to a 
  skull and in dire situations, he can use his fox 
  fire to keep his enemies at bay.  
   
  Even though he comes across as a bit 
  of a brat, Shippo is really a very kind person, 
  especially when it comes to Kagome. He feels 
  very protective of her because of all she did to 
  help him after his father died. Shippo doesn't exactly feel the same towards Inu-Yasha, as the 
  
  Naughty Tentacles, the Fuzion Sourcebook for Anime Horror 
  Appendix H: Inu Yasha 
  H - 10 
  two are constantly arguing or putting down one another. Shippo gets nervous from time to 
  time, but when the chips are down, he can be really brave, and has risked his life on several 
  occasions for his companions. 
    
  Shippo means "seven jewels". This name comes from Buddhism.

  Miroku - Miroku is a lustful monk 
  (Houshi) and quite skilled in combat. 
  Miroku has been known to do some less 
  than holy acts in order to get ahead, 
  and most of his good deeds are 
  preformed for the sake of women or 
  money.  
   
  Miroku's 
  grandfather 
  was 
  cursed by Naraku. The story goes that 
  Naraku had transformed himself into a 
  courtesan, and just like Miroku, his 
  grandfather was quite fond of the fairer 
  sex. Naraku pierced his grandfather's 
  hand and that is what brought about 
  the curse. The hole is passed down 
  though each generation, and it widens 
  each year. It continues to do so until it 
  has devoured it's victim. The only way 
  to break the curse is to kill Naraku.  
   
  Miroku is also the one that tells 
  Inu-Yasha 
  about 
  Naraku 
  killing 
  a 
  priestess fifty years ago. After hearing 
  this, 
  Inu-Yasha 
  is 
  able 
  to 
  piece 
  together what happened to cause Kikyo 
  to seal him away.  
   
  Over the course of the story, Miroku and Inu-Yasha have begun to get along better, 
  the void in Miroku's hand has proven to be a great asset, and his spiritual powers and quite 
  helpful as well. Also of note, Miroku is sometimes seen running scams with a large Tanuki, the 
  Tanuki turns itself into a scary looking demon and Miroku "exorcises" him. They then split the 
  profits from the excorcism. Also over the course of the story, a bit of budding romance starts 
  to develop between Miroku and Sango. 
    
  Miroku is "Maitreya" in Sanskrit. Maitreya is a god of Buddhism.

  Sango - We first see Sango the 
  youkai exterminator fighting a giant 
  centipede with her huge boomerang, 
  Hiraikotsu. After killing the centipede 
  she takes a Shikon shard from it and 
  states that the Shikon Jewel was 
  created in her town.  
   
  Sango's town is later shown 
  and we are introduced to her father, 
  her pet named Kirara, and her little 
  brother Kohaku. Sango is collecting 
  the Shikon pieces in hopes of finding 
  someone that will be able to purify 
  them.  
   
  One night Sango, her father, 
  and Kohaku are called to a castle to 
  exterminate a large spider demon, 
  during the fight, it appears that the 
  demon has been killed, but a small spider jumps on Kohaku. Kohaku kills his father and 
  attempts to kill Sango, but not before the lord of the castle has them both killed. A young man 
  there on business realizes that the lord was possessed and kills him, but it appears to be too 
  late for Sango and Kohaku, so they are buried in the garden. Sango (and unknown to her, 
  Kohaku) manages to survive. Naraku arrives shortly there after and convinces Sango that Inu-
  Yasha has destroyed her town in his quest for the Shikon Jewel. The entire incident was a plot 
  by Naraku, similar to the treachery he perpetrated on both Inu-Yasha and Kikyo. 
   
  After confronting Inu-Yasha and learning the truth, Sango decides to travel with the 
  group in order to avenge her fellow townsfolk. Kohaku now travels with Naraku under his 
  possession. 
   
  Sango means "coral". Kirara means "mica", but is the onomonopea for the sound a 
  stone makes when glittering. Kohaku means "amber".

  Supporting Characters 
  Sessho-Maru - Sessho-maru is the half-brother of Inu-Yasha. They can best be described as 
  "estranged", to put it lightly. Sessho-maru dislikes humans, and knowing that his brother is 
  half human seems to be one of the main reasons Sessho-maru dislikes him.  
   
  Sessho-maru is often seen in the company of his loyal servant Jaken and a large Oni 
  that he is usually riding on.  
   
  Upon hearing that his half-brother had been freed from the spell he immediately 
  began searching for him in order to learn of the location of their father's legendary sword, 
  Tetsusaiga. After a long skirmish, Sessho-maru found out, much to his disappointment that he 
  is unable to wield the Tetsusaiga because of his demon blood. On the other hand, because 
  Inu-Yasha is half human, he can use the powerful sword. After a long battle, Inu-Yasha was 
  able to drive off Sessho-maru and cut off one of his arms in the process.  
  
  Naughty Tentacles, the Fuzion Sourcebook for Anime Horror 
  Appendix H: Inu Yasha 
  H - 12 
   
  Sessho-maru arrived on the 
  scene again later, and with the help of 
  Naraku was able to temporarily use a 
  human's arm in place of his old one to 
  use the Tetsusaiga.  
   
  He has recently gained a new 
  travelling companion, a young girl 
  named Rin whom he seems to be 
  taking care of. He has also gained the 
  Tetsusaiga's 
  companion 
  blade- 
  the 
  Tenseiga.  
   
  Sessho-maru is more of an NPC 
  than an outright foe. Sessho-maru is 
  completely unconcerned with acquiring 
  even a frgment of the Shikon no Tama, 
  let alone the entire thing. He also 
  begins with the intent of killing his half-
  brother, yet time and again seems 
  instead to be testing his brother's 
  strengths and rescuing him from his 
  weaknesses. And his guardianship of 
  Rin may be an effort on his part to 
  learn why his father, one of the 
  Taiyoukai lords, would seek to protect 
  such weak creatures as humans. After 
  all, restorung her life was more than sufficient payment for her nursing him back to health. 
    
  Sessho means "cruel". Maru is a suffix for masculine names. Sesshoumaru could be 
  also translated as "killing blade".

  Kouga -  Kouga is the somewhat dim-
  witted leader of a group called the "Youkai-
  Wolf Tribe" Kouga is a youkai that has 
  taken human form and leads his pack of 
  wolves.  
   
  After running into Inu-Yasha and 
  the others, Kouga realizes that Kagome 
  can see that he has Shikon shards in his 
  one of his arms and both of his legs. 
  Realizing that she can see the shards, he 
  decides to kidnap her in order to help him 
  destroy the Gokuraku-chou's leader. The 
  Gokuraku-chou 
  are 
  youkai 
  that 
  are 
  basically a large head with wings and a 
  human torso on top of their head. Kouga 
  plans on making his tribe invincible by 
  gathering all of the Shikon shards, and he realizes he'll need Kagome to make this happen.

  Later, Kouga decides that he'll "make Kagome his woman" to which Kagome responds 
  with a slap. Kagome tells Kouga that she and Inu-Yasha have feelings for one another, so 
  Kouga explains that next time they meet, he'll kill Inu-Yasha.  
   
  After their second battle, Kouga loses the Shikon shard in his arm, and Kagaome stops 
  Inu-Yasha from fighting him while he's in such a weakened state. Inu-Yasha takes this to 
  mean that she is returning Kouga's affections, although she doesn't mean it in that way. 
    
  Kouga means "steel fang".

  Rin - After a particularly difficult battle, Sessho-maru is left extremely injured and alone, a 
  young girl who seems to be unable to speak comes across him and begins to slowly nurse him 
  back to health.  
   
  The girl is discovered by her fellow townspeople to be stealing food (for Sessho-maru) 
  and she is severly beaten as punishment. The people say that they are getting tired of dealing 
  with her, and that Rin, as they call her, has not spoken since her parents died.  
   
  Rin returns with the food for Sessho-maru, and he takes notice of the beating she has 
  recieved, he asks her what happened, but she does not answer, and he seems not to mind.  
   
  A few days later, Jaken finds Sessho-maru, but just as he does, Sessho-maru smells 
  blood in the air. Deciding to check it out, he finds that Rin has been killed by a pack of wolves 
  (Kouga's wolves to be exact). After frightening the wolves away, Sessho-maru uses the 
  Tenseiga to bring her back to life, and she has travelled with him ever since. 
   
  Jaken - Jaken is the loyal servant of Sessho-maru, he is a short, reptilian looking demon. He 
  is often seen carrying the "Staff of Heads" which was originally used to locate the Tetsusaiga.  
   
  Jaken is not the cowardly servant that Myoga is. He is often seen getting involved in 
  battles, or dispatching of nuisances when his master, Sessho-maru, doesn't want to get his 
  hands dirty.  
    
  Jaken means "cruel".

  Myouga - Myoga the flea demon, was once the retainer to Inu-Yasha and Sessho-maru's 
  father, a canine god. After the death of their father, Myoga was told to guard the Tetsusaiga, a 
  powerful sword that belonged to the god.  
   
  When Sessho-maru began searching for it, Myoga went in search of Inu-Yasha to 
  ensure it did not fall into the wrong hands. After saving the sword, Myoga stuck around and 
  has continued to travel with Inu-Yasha and serve him somewhat faithfully.  
   
  Unlike Sessho-maru's servant, Jaken, Myoga rarely gets involved in any sort of 
  physical battles. He often gets crushed by someone assuming he is a regular bug. One of the

  few abilities he has ever shown, is when he saved Inu-Yasha's life by sucking a Spider Head's 
  venom from his system.  
   
  Myoga also is shown to have a great knowledge of other types of youkai. He is often 
  able to identify an unknown demon and provide some background infomation on them to his 
  companions.  
    
  Myoga sounds similar to "strange moth", but Myoga is originally a buddhism term, 
  meaning "unnoticed assistance or protection of the buddha". )

  Nazuna - Nazuna is a young woman whose family was killed by demons. A priest had taken 
  her in and cared for her, and she has become intensely hatful towards all demons, including 
  Inu-Yasha who saved her from from falling to her death.  
   
  Nazuna is taken back to her home, where the group encounters her caretaker, an 
  elderly monk. Everyone is invited to stay at the temple over night, and the monk relates they 
  story of how Nazuna came into his care.  
   
  The monk explains that he has been using his magical powers to shield the temple 
  from demons, and keep Nazuna from being harmed by the Spider Heads that killed her family. 
  After the Spider Heads attack, the monk tells Nazuna to live on with Inu-Yasha and his 
  companions.  
   
  After the Spider Heads attack, Nazuna travels back to the temple to try and save the 
  Monk, who it is revealed to have been the leader of the Spider Heads all along. He attempts to 
  make Nazuna believe that because Inu-Yasha and the others brought the Shikon shards to 
  their home, that the Spider Heads attacked and possessed him.  
   
  Once the Spider Heads have been destroyed, Nazuna bids everyone farewell and 
  moves to a nearby village. 
   
  Nazuna means "shepard's purse". 
   
  My personal thoughts on Nazuna are as follows: She seemed to have promise that 
  could have lead to her becoming a main character within the story. Two things prevented this. 
  First, she appeared far too early for her to function as the "only weak link" in the group. At the 
  point of her appearance, Kagome was filling that particular role. Second, Naraku had 
  absolutely nothing to do with the destruction of her village.  However, the story has advanced 
  far enough along that she could be brought back as an fairly able apprentice for Sango. And 
  aside from the two shinobi who actually did want to be Sango's apprentices, Nazuna is the 
  only character I've seen in the storyline to have such promise.

  The Higurashi Family -  The Higurashi 
  family is a fairly average modern Japanese 
  family. Like many Japanese families, three 
  generations of Higurashi's live together at 
  
  Naughty Tentacles, the Fuzion Sourcebook for Anime Horror 
  Appendix H: Inu Yasha 
  H - 15 
  the Sunrise Shine, which is maintained by 
  Kagome's grandfather. In fact, the house 
  where they current live in present day 
  Japan is on the outskirts of Kadae's village 
  in feudal Japan.  
   
  Kagome's 
  grandfather 
  is 
  quite 
  knowledgable when it comes to demons 
  and spirits. Kagome's mother is not often 
  seen, and her father has yet to be 
  mentioned. It's possible he's dead, or just 
  a busy salaryman that works long hours.  
   
  Kagome's little brother, Sota has 
  been fascinated with Inu-Yasha ever since 
  he met him. The Higurashis also have a 
  rather fat cat named Buyo.  
    
  Sota means "altar of sacrifice". 
   
  Inu-Yasha's 
  Parents 
  - 
  Inu-Yasha 
  discusses his parents very fairly, but from 
  what he has mentioned he did not seem 
  terribly close to either of them, even 
  though he seemed to love them both very 
  much.  
   
  Initially, it is never established 
  when or how his father died, but his 
  mother died when he was a young boy. 
  Sessho-maru uses Inu-Yasha's love for his 
  mother in an attempt to kill him and claim 
  the sword of their father, the Tetsusaiga, 
  as his own.  
   
  Sessho-maru is able to create a 
  spirit that resembles Inu-Yasha's human 
  mother, and she traps him by lulling him 
  into a false sense of security. This spirit 
  attempts to absorb him, but thanks to 
  Kagome's help, Inu-Yasha is able to fight 
  off the demon before it is too late. 
   
  Later on in the story, we learn that 
  Inu-Yasha was actually very close to his 
  mother, raised in her care, but his 
  indifference comes from the way other 
  humans treated both himself and his 
  mother. We also learn that his father died 
  from mortal wounds suffered during a 
  battle to seal away a powerful dragon 
  demon. 
   
  Hojo - Hojo is one of Kagome's high school 
  classmates. He seems to be quite popular, 
  and has a bit of a crush on Kagome.  
   
  To explain her frequent absence 
  from school, Kagome's grandfather often 
  makes up stories about the many disease 
  that she has come down with, which 
  makes Hojo feel particularly sorry for her.  
   
  Hojo is very understanding of 
  Kagome's "illnesses" and believes that 
  when she has to blow him off to fight 
  youkai that it is because she is beginning 
  to come down with something. He has 
  often given her small gifts to help her feel 
  better, and they even went out on a short 
  date once.  
   
  Hojo seems to be incredibly patient 
  and understanding, and he never doubts or 
  questions Kagome if she breaks a date 
  with him. All in all, Hojo is helpful to a 
  fault.  
   
  Hojo means "assistance, support or 
  aid". A perfect name for this helpful young 
  man. 
   
  Oda Nobunaga - Nobunaga is first seen 
  watching cherry blossoms when his pet 
  monkey, Hiyashimaru brings him back a 
  gift. Expecting food, Nobunaga is surprised 
  to see an odd lacy garment which turns out 
  to be Kagome's bra.  
   
  Once he introduces himself as 
  Nobunaga, Kagome is quite shocked and 
  greets him very excitedly. She begins to 
  read from her history book about "the 
  great idiot Nobunaga", but is cut short 
  when Nobunaga says he is not from the 
  Oda 
  clan 
  but 
  the 
  Takeda. 
  At 
  that, 
  Nobunaga begins to walk and falls off a 
  cliff, showing that he is quite an idiot (and 
  probably the Nobunaga of legend).  
   
  It turns out that Nobunaga is trying 
  to save his childhood friend and sweetheart 
  from 
  Tsukumo 
  no 
  gama, 
  who 
  has 
  possessed the region's lord and begun 
  kidnapping brides. With the help of Inu-
  Yasha and Kagome, Nobunaga seizes the 
  day and saves Princess Tsuyu (but doesn't 
  gain her affections).  
   
  No means field. Bu means part Na 
  reputation means Ga means moth. Oda 
  means in exchange. 
   
   
  Youkai 
  Youkai, Taiyoukai, Manonoke, Bakemono, Oni, , Shinma, Hanyou. All words that pretty much 
  describe the same thing; the monstrous demons of Japanese mythology. For ease, I'll be using 
  Youkai as the primary word in referring to them. Youkai are distributed in a different manner 
  than the demons and monsters of other cultures. There are a few general types of lesser 
  
  Naughty Tentacles, the Fuzion Sourcebook for Anime Horror 
  Appendix H: Inu Yasha 
  H - 16 
  youkai, and an expansive subset of more powerful and unique youkai to contend with. The 
  lesser youkai are developed as monsters, while the unique ones are developed as NPCs. 
   
  Unique Youkai 
  Naraku - Naraku is one of the most powerful demons in the series, and is the the puppeteer 
  pulling the strings behind the scenes in more than one way. At first he tracks Inu-Yasha and 
  his companions from a distance, but after being detected by Kagome, he is forced to face his 
  foes for the first time.  
   
  At first Naraku appears to be cowardly by letting others do his dirty work for him. He 
  states that this is because he is between transformations, and he would be unable to defeat 
  Inu-Yasha in this state. His history with Inu-Yasha stretches back over fifty years, to shortly 
  before Kikyo's death.  
   
  At one time Kikyo took care of a badly burned criminal named Onigumo. Onigumo had 
  a twisted love or perhaps more appropriately, lust, for her, but the feeling was not mutual. As 
  Kikyo's love for Inu-Yasha grew, her powers began to weaken, until demons were able to close 
  in on Onigumo. Drawn there by his evil thoughts, the demons recieved Onigumo's sould in a 
  bargin for great power. Before dying he asked that the demons "give him the strength to steal 
  the Shikon Jewel and make Kikyo mine...!"  
   
  The demons did this by eating Onigumo and becoming one, and thus Naraku was 
  born. Naraku proved to be more successful in collecting the Shikon shards and uses the power 
  to spawn "detachments", new youkai that supposedly serve him with absolute loyalty. 
   
  Naraku literally means "hell".

  Mistress Centipede - Mistress Centipede was the first youkai that Kagome encountered. She 
  drug Kagome through the well and back into feudal Japan.  
   
  Mistress Centipede was able to sense the Shikon Jewel inside of Kagome, and after 
  biting her, she was able to remove the jewel. This lead to Inu-Yasha being reawakened by 
  Kagome, and attempting to save her, but not before Mistress Centipede was able in injest the 
  Shikon Jewel.  
   
  Inu-Yasha was able to dispatch Mistress Centipede even though she was powered up 
  by a complete Shikon Jewel, shortly after this battle, she Shikon Jewel was split after Kagome 
  blasted it with an arrow.

  The Mask of Flesh - While on her way to the Higurashi's shrine, a woman who is planning on 
  getting an ancient family heirloom exorcised gets possessed.  
  
  Naughty Tentacles, the Fuzion Sourcebook for Anime Horror 
  Appendix H: Inu Yasha 
  H - 17 
   
  The heirloom, called the "Mask of Flesh" which resembles a Noh mask, breaks out 
  from its box and attaches itself to the woman's face. The mask was carved from the trunk of 
  an ancient Bodhi-tree that had a shard of the Shikon jewel embedded in it. The story is that 
  once the mask is placed on someone it cannont be removed until the victim dies. The mask is 
  believed to be indestructible, even against fire, and anyone who attempts to destroy it has 
  met with a strange demise.  
   
  The Mask of Flesh is able to sense the Shikon shards in Kagome's room and attempts 
  to get them, but not before getting run over by a car that seriously damages her human body. 
  Because of this, the mask begins to hunt down other humans and absorb them into her own 
  body in order to get her strength back.  
   
  The Mask of Flesh chases Kagome to a construction site, while Sota runs to the Bone-
  Eater's Well and calls Inu-Yasha. Inu-Yasha does his best to destroy the demon mask, but 
  while fighting the mask comes very close to landing on Kagome's body and taking it as her 
  own. Thankfully, Inu-Yasha makes a last second save, destroys the mask, and gains another 
  piece of the Shikon Jewel.

  The Thunder Brothers - The two Thunder Brothers, Hiten and Manten are fierce, psychotic 
  murderers. The two are responsible not only for the destruction of an entire army, but for the 
  death of Shippo's father as well. Now Manten wears his pelt as a sash. The elder brother, 
  Hiten may be the more attractive of the two, but he is also the most dangerous. The two 
  brothers are able to fly through the air, Manten rides on a cloud, and Hiten uses a pair of 
  floating wheels.  
   
  Kagome manages to save Shippo from Manten, but in the process she lodges an arrow 
  through his face and cuts two precious hairs from his head. This infuriates Manten and he 
  captures her, planning to use her flesh to make a hair tonic. When Hiten learns that Shippo 
  escaped with the Shikon shards, the two go after him and meet up with Inu-Yasha.  
   
  As the Hiten and Inu-Yasha rage against each other in battle, Manten attacks Shippo 
  and Kagome and almost kills them before Inu-Yasha throws his Tetsusaiga through his spine, 
  killing him. Hiten becomes infuriated at the death of his brother and eats his heart, adding 
  Manten's power to his own. Mortally wounded, Inu-Yasha is forced to fight using only his 
  scabbard. After Hiten blasts Shippo and Kagome, Inu-Yasha, thinking them to be dead, is able 
  to summon up enough strength to deliver the killing blow against Hiten.  
   
  Hiten means correction marks. Manten means perfect score.

  Mayu - Mayu is first seen tormenting children in a public park by throwing fireworks at them. 
  The only person able to see her though, is Kagome.  
   
  A few days later, when Kagome is taking Sota to the hospital to visit one of his friends 
  from school that was in a house fire, she notices some strange things happening, such as IVs 
  being disconnected. Finally, she notices the little girl under the bed.  
   
  Later that night, Sota tells Kagome about how the little boy in the hospital's sister had 
  died in the fire that left him in a coma. She realizes that the girl is Mayu. It's discovered that 
  Mayu believes her mother rescued her brother, and intentionlally left her to die in the fire. 
  Believing this is true, Mayu sets out to kill her little brother.  
   
  While all this is happening, the Tatari-mokke is preparing to bring Mayu's spirit to the 
  underworld, and unless she finds peace the Tatari-mokke will take her soul to hell so that she 
  can become an evil spirit. 
   
  Mayu was but one of many examples within Inu-Yasha of how a human can become a 
  youkai. In her case, she was headed down a road to literally becoming a Mononoke. 
  Apparently, any soul that can manifest itself as something other than a glowing sphere can be 
  considered a youkai as well. Additionally, it seems that in her travels to wherever peaceful 
  souls go in Japanese culture, she learned how to travel back and forth, as she later appears 
  before Kagome's bedroom window, well after her departure with the Tatari-mokke. 
   
  Mayu can be translated to mean "cocoon". 
   
  Urasue - Urasue is an ogress with a talent for sorcery that comes to claim the bits of bone left 
  in Kikyo's grave. After destroying her shine, and digging up what's left of her, Urusue departs.  
   
  Urasue plans to revive Kikyo using her bones and earth from her grave. Urasue brings 
  Kikyo back, and attempts to use her to retrive the Shikon Jewel for her, but quickly realizes 
  that she is only an empty shell. Urasue comes to the realization that Kikyo's soul has not been 
  restored to her body, because it has already been reborn elsewhere (in Kagome to be exact).  
   
  Urasue manages to capture Kagome and force her soul into the Kikyo's body. Kikyo 
  returns to live, and rips Urasue's head off her her body. Urasue still manages to speak and 
  live, but it appears that she dies.  
    
  Urasue means "divination".

  Kotatsu - Kotatsu is a painter from Kyoto, who had come across a beautiful princess. Upon 
  seeing her, the princess' men attack him and tell him never to defile the princess again by 
  looking at her. Hurt by their words, Kotatsu sets out a plan to have the princess as his own.  
   
  Inu-Yasha, Kagome, and Shippo had been following the scent of human livers and ink, 
  and it lead them to Kotatsu. Amazingly he is able to pull a large ogre out of his kimono, and 
  escape. Kagome quickly takes note that Kotatsu seemed to be an ordinary human, but his 
  powers would show otherwise.  
  
  Naughty Tentacles, the Fuzion Sourcebook for Anime Horror 
  Appendix H: Inu Yasha 
  H - 19 
   
  Ultimately it is revealed that Kotatsu is a normal human who was fond of painting 
  scenes from hell. He travelled to battlefields and painted the corpses he found there. On one 
  such occasion, he found a Shikon shard in a pool of blood. Kotatsu took the shard home and 
  mixed it into a vat of his ink. Much to his surprise the ogre he painted came to life and 
  requested that he feed him liver and blood. To keep his great ability Kotatsu begins to murder 
  people in order to bear his demonic creations.  
   
  While trying to get the shard back from Kotatsu, his inkwell spills out and begins to 
  devour him, leaving only his arm and the Shikon shard. Kotatsu was yet another example of

  Royakan - Royakan, the Hell Wolf, is summoned by Naraku to kill Inu-Yasha. Royakan is a 
  fairly lazy, and somewhat friendly demon wolf that travels with a pack of three-eyed wolves. 
  He is considered a guardian spirit of the forest near the village near the Bone Eater's Well. 
   
  After Miroku sucks some of his wolfpack into his hand, Royakan gets scared and runs 
  away into the mountains. Naraku finds him and puts a plant seed with a Shikon shard 
  imbedded in it onto Royakan's head. Naraku informs him that if he does not kill Inu-Yasha that 
  the plant seed will continue to grow until it rips his skull in two.  
   
  Royakan decides to take his chances with Inu-Yasha, and manages to find him in a 
  weakend state because of a previous battle Inu-Yasha had with Sessho-maru. After awhile, 
  Inu-Yasha's strength begins to return, and the tide turns against Royakan.  
   
  After Naraku is forced off the battlefield, Ryokan's head begins to split because of the 
  seed, Kagome asks him if he'd like any help removing the Shikon shard, and just as he was 
  about to tell her that only Naraku could remove it, Kagome pulls it out. The vines fall of 
  Royakan, and he happily walks away.  
   
  While Royakan possessed a Shikon Shard, it enabled him to bellow and spawn forth 
  dozens of his three-eyes demon wolves. He was also one of the few youkai to survive fighting 
  over a Shikon Shard with the heroic adventurers and Inu-Yasha. 
    
  Royakan means oar, arrow, tree trunk.

  Tsukumo-No-Gama - Tsukumo-no-gama is a frog spirit that has possessed a lord, the lords

  Upon seeing Tsukumo no gama, Myoga recognizes him as a fairly powerful 300 year 
  old demon. They realize too late what has happened to the disappearing maidens from across 
  the possessed lord's realm. They have all been found enclosed in frog eggs, and many of them 
  have begun to transform into tadpole like creatures in order for the frog demon to consume 
  their souls. During the struggle with Inu Yasha, consuming just a few souls allowed Tsukumo 
  no Gama to completely heal the damage inflicted on it by Inu Yasha. 
   
  Like most frogs, Tsukumo no gama is very weak against fire, but since there is only a 
  small candle in the castle, it takes a little ingenuity on Kagome's part. She uses a bottle of 
  hairspray on the flame, and makes it into a blowtorch. The demon jumps out of the lords 
  body, and Inu-Yasha quickly kills Tsukumo no gama and retrives his Shikon shard.  
   
  Tsukumo no gama means "The Immortal Frog".

  their tragic tale, and so they decide to investigate.  
   
  Inu-Yasha attacks head long and leaves the others behind. The Peach Man shrinks 
  Inu-Yasha to bite-size and swallows him whole, just as the full moon is about to shine and 
  take away Inu-Yasha's demonic power.  
   
  Kagome, Miroku, and Shippo all find themselves trapped in The Peach Man's miniture 
  garden where he stores other victims while he waits to eat them.

  Yuri of the Hair - Yuri is an oni (or ogre) that has transferred her demon soul into a comb. 
  She collects the skulls of her victims for the hair they possess, as well as hunting for the 
  Shikon no Tama once it returned to the Sengoku Era. Her collection of hair could be animates 
  into an unending, writhing, snakelike mass that could literally travel miles to reach her 
  victims. The nearly invisible strands can ensnare victims and animate them in a puppet-like 
  state, or even be used to dismember a person. With her soul transferred to a comb that is 
  hidden in the first skull she ever collected, her body is far from invulnerable, but nearly 
  indestructible. Last thing of note: A Japanese ogre is nothing like they typical western ogre. 
  Yuri was pretty damn hot compared to what usually gets presented as a visual representation 
  of an ogre.

  corpses. A particular myth tells of a strong-willed priest called Muso Kokushi who once kept 
  watch near the body of a deceased person. Suddenly a jikininki arrived to devour it, but the 
  priest's prayers liberated the demon's soul

  to be undone except by magic. One particular myth tells of a miser whose blood was sucked 
  by a gigantic spider until he repented. The hero Reiko had various encounters with these

  Reiko’s Tales with the Kumo - A Japanese hero. Well-known are his various encounters with 
  gigantic spiders.  
  One day when he was ill, a small boy brought him his medicine every night. This medicine did 
  not cure him but made him sicker, for it was poison. His suspicion aroused, Reiko struck the 
  boy when he came in one night. Quickly the bow threw something at him, which grew into a 
  sticky net, and disappeared through the door. Reiko, enveloped entirely was helpless. Tsuna, 
  Reiko's chief retainer, managed to stop the boy at sword's point, but he threw a web over the 
  retainer too, and fled again. The boy was later found in a cave and killed. It turned out that he 
  was a spider-spirit, a little demon with a magic weapon.  
  In another adventure, Reiko saw a skull flying before him, then disappearing into a ruined 
  building. Inside the building Reiko found an old hag, entirely white with sagging breasts. A 
  moment later he saw an old nun with a large face. Finally he saw a beautiful woman. As he 
  stared at her, she threw a sticky net over him. He struck her with her sword but its point 
  broke off. Shortly after Tsuna arrived and liberated Reiko from the huge web. The woman had 
  by then vanished. They thoroughly searched the building and found a gigantic spider, with the 
  tip of Raiko's sword sticking out of its belly. When they pulled it out, the monster died. They 
  cut the body open and inside they found numerous skulls, those of the spider's victims. They 
  also found many 'baby' spiders, as large as children, creeping out. They quickly dispatched 
  those, thus liberating the country of the age-old plague of mountain spiders, a race of evil 
  demons. 
   
  Nothing Woman - This youkai is formed by the spirit of a mother who lost her child. They are 
  particularly numerous in the era of the warring states, since all too often, a village would be 
  raided and women would be forced to watch their children murdered before their eyes before 
  they themselves were raped and killed by the raiders. A Nothing Woman will latch onto a 
  target, taking the form of the victim's mother on occasion or even inducing an extensive mass 
  hallucination that can affect an entire group, and close in until they can convince the victim to 
  embrace. Once the embrace begins, the victim will lapse into a trance, to be absorbed by the 
  Nothing Woman. Sated and convince she has been reunited with her child, the Nothing 
  Woman will vanish, neither she nor her victim to ever be seen again (unless she lost more 
  than one child).

  Raiju - A Japanese demon whose name means "thunder animal". It is a demon of lightning in 
  the shape of a cat, badger or weasel. During thunderstorms it becomes extremely agitated 
  and leaps from tree to tree. If a tree shows the marks of lightning, people say that Raiju's 
  claws have scratched it open. The demon likes hiding in human navels, so, if afraid, a person 
  should sleep on his or her belly during thunderstorms.

  saint, a hermit, who has acquired so much merit by his asceticism that he can perform 
  miracles, such as speaking after death, flying on the back of a tortoise or on a cloud, or 
  causing a gourd to give birth to a horse. Sennings may speak to mortals in dreams or appear 
  in the shape of ordinary men. They are accompanied by their familiars: a toad, a horse, or a

  Shin-nen-tai – Literally meaning “manifestation of will”, when a person departs the world 
  with a strong desire left unfulfilled, the desire itself can take physical form and remain behind 
  as the spirit of the dead journeys on to the next world. The primary difference between a mere 
  ghost and a shin-nen-tai is the fact that the shin-nen-tai is an actually physical being. 
  Eventually, the desire itself typically fades over time with no soul or spirit to reinforce it, and 
  the shinnentai will eventually fade from existence, typically over a span of a few decades.

  Spider Heads - The Spider Heads are a large group of spider demons with human heads. 
  They have overrun a mountain range that Inu-Yasha and the others were travelling across on 
  their search for pieces of the Shikon Jewel.  
   
  While staying at a small temple with Nazuna, a young girl they had just saved from 
  the Spider Heads, they are introduced to an elderly monk who invites them to stay the night 
  in his temple. The monk had raised Nazuna because her father had been killed by the Spider 
  Heads.  
   
  The monk is later revealed to be the leader of the Spider Heads, he killed Nazuna's 
  father and used her to lure Inu-Yasha to the temple in order to steal the Shikon shards that he 
  had already collected.

  of twenty to thrity foot long, thin, spindly snake with a lizard-like or draconic head and four or 
  six short arms just behind the head. Wingless, they glide quickly through the night air, 
  snatching soul spheres as they drift toward heaven. Normal Spirit Snatchers are harmless to 
  the living, and are used by Kikyo to collect the souls she needs to live. Occasionally, large 
  ones can be encountered. These immense ones mesure hundreds of feet in length and tens of 
  feet in diameter, and can and will consume the living while destroying large chinks of the 
  landscape.

  behind.  
   
  Myoga explains that what they are seeing is called a Tatari-mokke, and that it is a 
  demon given life by the souls of young children. The Tatari-mokke plays with the spirits of 
  deceased children until they have settled and can move on to the next world.  
   
  Kagome later sees the Tatari-mokke following Mayu. Myoga explains that by the 
  Tatari-mokke soothes children's spirits with its flute until they can move safely on to the next 
  world, buy if a spirit has not settled by the time Tatari-mokke opens its eyes, it takes the 
  sould to hell and so that it can transform into an evil spirit.

  called Otoku-San. It is believed that these dolls are alive. Although they cannot talk, the can 
  cry and run away when the house in which they live is on fire. When cared for properly, they 
  bring good luck to 'their' family. They need to be dressed in new clothes regularly and kept in 
  good repair. Treated thus, they may survive the passing of many generations, and cause 
  babies to be born in good health. When they are neglected, however, they will be cross and 
  bring misfortune. When a doll is old, worn, broken and finally declared 'dead', it is laid to rest 
  under an enoki tree (see also Kojin)

  Mystic Items 
  Tetsusaiga - This is the sword left behind to Inuyasha by his father. Initially it was believed 
  to be a weapon forged by the great Taiyoukai as a weapon meant to protect humans, but it 
  turned out to have a much deeper purpose. The sword was meant to protect Inuyasha from 
  his own heritage, for when Tetsusaiga is away from his grasp and he is sorely injured, his 
  youkai blood rises, reducing him to a feral demon of immense strength. So, in the end, the 
  best place for the sword truly was in the black pearl grave in Inuyasha's left eye. The sword is 
  incredibly powerful, not only enhancing Inuyasha's strength, but also imbuing him with 
  additional powerful abilities. 
   
  A wielder of mixed human and demon blood (in other words, a hanyou) can wield this 
  weapon in defense of human life, triggering its transformation from rusted, chipped, and 
  generally worthless longsword to a mighty and glowing blade. In this transformed state, the 
  sword grants the user +2 STR and +2 KD. As the wielder grows more accustomed to using the 
  weapon in the intervening months, it will reveal further abilities. 
  Tetsusaiga also comes with a magical scabbard. The scabbard is incredibly powerful, 
  functioning as a defensive weapon (+2 KD to a weilder actively using it) and if it becomes 
  damaged, it can call forth Tetsusaiga to return to it. 
   
  Shikon no Tama - The jewel of the four spirits, shattered by an arrow strike. The shards of this 
  jewel were flung far and wide. The jewel is immensely powerful, for it binds the spirits of a 
  powerful Mikko of ages long past, as well as the thousands of youkai who fought her in the 
  final, cataclysmic battle in which the jewel was formed from her heart. Youkai seek out the 
  jewel, for amongst their own it is legend that the one who possesses the Shikon no Tama shall 
  be all powerful, ruling over both human and demon. 
   
  The mere slivers and shards of the whole jewel exhibit immense and remarkable 
  powers. Sessho-Maru used a shard to attach a human arm to his demon body rather 
  successfully, allowing him to temporarily wield Tetsusaiga. A shard was used on Sango to 
  eliminate the pain she was suffering from her nearly fatal wounds, allowing her to fight 
  Inuyasha as though she were not injured. And a shard restored life to Kohaku, Sango's

  younger brother. Other shards were used to enhance the natural abilities and demonic powers 
  of other youkai who happened upon various shards. 
   
   
   
  Location 
  For the most part, the adventures of Inu Yasha occur within an area probably equivalent to 
  modern day Tokyo and its suburbs. In the portions of the story set in the modern era, the 
  Sunset Shrine, managed by Kagome's family, is located within Tokyo's city limits. On the 
  Shrine property lies the Bone Eater's Well. In the Sengoku era, though we have yet to see the 
  troupe visit Edo, the physical location of the Bone Eater's Well remains unchanged and most of 
  the trials and trepidations they face are within a few days foot travel from the well. At most, 
  the greatest distance the group travels is probably no more than 150 miles in any direction at 
  most.
