InuYasha is an anime series about Kagome Higurashi, a modern-day teenager who lives by an old Japanese shrine. One day, she falls down an ancient well and is transported back in time to feudal Japan. She meets InuYasha and embarks on a mission to retrieve a precious jewel before their enemy, Naraku, gets his hands on it.
InuYasha - Main Cast
- Kagome Higurashi - Kagome is the reincarnation of Kikyo, an ancient priestess who died while trying to protect the Shikon no Tama (Jewel of the Four Souls). Now, as Kagome tries to protect the Shikon, she accidentally shatters it and must find all the pieces before the other demons do.
- InuYasha - InuYasha is half-human, half-dog demon. He has strong demon-like strength and claws, but possesses a human heart. Kagome can control him by saying, "Sit!" which sends him face-first into the ground!
- Shippo - Shippo is a young, innocent fox demon who doesn't like to fight. He has shape-shifting abilities, but is relatively weak.
- Miroku - Due to Naraku's curse, Miroku has a black hole in his right hand that enlarges over time. Even though he's a Buddhist monk, he's got a weakness for women.
- Naraku - Naraku, which means "hell" in Japanese, is the most evil character in the show. He's a powerful half-demon, but can become a full demon if he can just get the Shikon.
