About: Koga (鋼牙, Kōga?) is the young leader of the eastern yōkai-wolf tribe, age fifteen, who was nearly wiped out by Kagura and Naraku. He first meets InuYasha as an opponent in battle, but becomes a reluctant, occasional ally despite maintaining a strong sense of rivalry with the "useless mutt" about their relative combat strengths as well as his persistent courtship of Kagome. He fell in love with Kagome (shortly after he kidnapped her) because of her kindness and beauty. Inuyasha always felt uneasy and jealous during Koga's visits because he worried that Kagome might have feelings for Koga. In this way Koga has often been the source of Kagome's and Inuyasha's fights. Koga, like Inuyasha, is very protective of Kagome and has a strong sense of when she is in danger.
Kōga possesses a weapon named Goraishi, which becomes his most powerful weapon. He is also seen carrying a sword, but he doesn't use it often, only in chapter 340 against Mōryōmaru. In the same chapter, he reveals that he took the sword from a human as "decoration," and he didn't think he'd have to use it.
After suffering serious wounds, Kōga is partially restored by three Shikon Jewel shards embedded into his legs and right arm. The shards are eventually taken away from him by Naraku, gravely weakening him; he leaves and disappears from the manga, after telling Kagome that she may leave InuYasha and come to him at any time. In the epilogue of the anime, it is revealed that Kōga united all of the wolf demon tribes and married Ayame, the wolf demon girl he had long ago promised to marry "on the night of the lunar rainbow," a promise he had seemed to have completely forgotten when she appeared earlier, but evidently eventually had to keep.
