About
InuYasha (Japanese: 犬夜叉, inu "dog" + yasha "demon" from Japanese yasha, derived from masculine Sanskrit yaksha, "yasha" is also Japanese for "forest spirit" ) is a long-running manga and anime series by Rumiko Takahashi (creator of Urusei Yatsura, Maison Ikkoku, Ranma �, and others). The full title is 戦国お伽草子ー犬夜叉 (in Rōmaji: Sengoku o-togi zōshi InuYasha), which roughly translates to InuYasha, a Feudal Fairy Tale.InuYasha is an action/adventure anime with elements of romance and comedy. Kagome Higurashi is an ordinary girl who is somehow pulled into an old well at her family's Shinto shrine by a mysterious force. A demon claims that Kagome possesses the Shikon Jewel and attempts to seize it. The girl fights back and when she climbs out, she finds herself in feudal Japan, where both humans and demons reside.
She is quickly recognized as the reincarnation of the priestess Kikyo by Kaede, an elderly priestess who happens to be Kikyo's younger sister. Demons are immediately drawn to Kagome and she flees into the forest to save the villagers who have taken her in. Her presence causes a strange boy pinned to an sacred tree by an arrow to awake. He is Inuyasha, a half-demon and recognizes Kagome as Kikyo, the priestess who sealed Inuyasha to the tree. In order to combat the demons, despite Kaede's warnings, Kagome frees Inuyasha.
However, a demon manages to attack Kagome and remove an object from Kagome's body, the Shikon Jewel. While the demon is easily destroyed, it is Kagome's duty to protect the jewel from both demons and corrupt humans who seek to use it to gain power - including Inuyasha who desires to use the jewel to become a complete demon.
However, when the jewel is shattered and Kagome and Inuyasha must team up to recover the shards before they get into the wrong hands. While they gain valuable allies along the way in the monk Miroku, demon exterminator Sango, and fox-demon Shippo, they find adversaries in Inuyasha's older brother Sesshomaru, a resurrected Kikyo, and the malicious demon Naraku.
InuYasha � The male protagonist, a hybrid of a dog demon and a human. InuYasha loves Kikyo, and it is hinted he has strong feelings for Kagome as well. If he cares for her more then Kikyo is not known, and serves as one of the conflicts in the series.
Sesshomaru � InuYasha's callous and tenebrous older brother. Unlike Inuyasha, Sesshomaru is a full demon. He is accompanied by An and Un, a two headed dragon-type demon. Sesshomaru is jealous of InuYasha because he inherited their father's fang Tetsusaiga and Sesshomaru did not.
