Kagome Higurashi is a modern day young girl who lives with her family by the old Higure shrine. Unbeknownst to Kagome, she is the reincarnation of priestess Kikyo and possesses the "Jewel of Four Souls" (the Shikon jewel). One ill-fated day, Kagome locates an ancient well near her home and is abruptly transported through the well and into a feudal Japan, inhabited by demons. There, she encounters Inuyasha, son of a powerful demon father and a human mother, who is pinned to a tree by an enchanted arrow. Kagome frees Inuyasha from the tree before she learns that all of the demons, including Inuyasha, are after the Shikon jewel in her possession. To prevent the jewel from being stolen, Kagome accidentally shoots it with the enchanted arrow, shattering it into thousands of pieces. The evil Naraku also seeks the jewel for his own reasons. New allies, Kagome and Inuyasha, join forces with Shippo, a small fox-demon, Miroku, a monk, and Sango, the sole surviving demon-hunter, in order to combat Naraku and recover the fragments of the "Jewel of Four Souls". But that's just just the tip of the iceberg. 1st Opening Song: "Change the World" by V6 (Episodes 1 to 34) 2nd Opening Song: "I Am" by hitomi (episodes 35 to 64)

Inuyasha - Half-human, half-demon, Inuyasha desires the Shikon jewel for his own questionable purposes. Too bad Kagome can control him with magic!

Kagome - Kagome is a modern-day 15-year-old girl who lives with her family by the old Higure shrine. She is also the unknowing possessor of a magical jewel.

Shippo - Shippo is a young fox-demon with shape-shifting abilities. He likes Inuyasha and is fiercely loyal to Kagome.

Sango - Sango the demon hunter lost her whole village to Naraku's forces. Her preferred weapon is a giant boomerang.

Sesshomaru - Sesshomaru is Inuyasha's older, pure-demon brother. He seeks the magic sword that his father gave to Inuyasha.

Miroku - A Buddhist monk who, because of a curse from Naraku, has a Wind Tunnel (it's like a black hole) in his right hand. He is also quite the pervert. Naraku - Naraku is the villain of the series. His name translates as the word, "hell". He was born through the thief Onigumo's desire for Kikyo when he called dozens of demons in to devour himself. He has the ablilty to change his form into anything he wants, which he did to trick Inuyasha and Kikyo into hating each other. He has used Inuyasha's brother Sesshomaru to try and get rid of Inuyasha, but to no avail. He also has an 'army' of bug-type creatures, called Saimyosho. Naraku is also a half-demon like Inuyasha, but born in a different way. Naraku can choose the time of month to return to his 'original' form. He uses this time to re-arrange his body into a stronger and more powerful form. Naraku also gains the ablilty to make offspring, later. Koga - Koga is the son of a leader of the wolf demon tribe. He has 2 Shikon jewel shards in his legs (one in each) which gives him super speed. He first comes into the story when he attacks the village where Rin lived. He also says that he is in love with Kagome, which makes Inuyasha quite annoyed. Koga wants Naraku dead because he created Kagura who killed many of his friends from his tribe. less «

• What are the 'badges' that appear in the Inuyasha title?

  When the english title appears in each episode, there are badges or icons beneath it that I can't quite make out, even when I use the slo-mo function of my VCR. I think they change between episodes. Do they have any particular meaning or are they just random?

  9.5 Superb

  Very Popular Anime hide « show »

  InuYasha is by far one of the most popular anime series I have come across and has become a favorite of mine. It's colorful cast consist of InuYasha, a scruffy inu-hanyou. Kagome, a Japanese school girl with mystical powers. Shippo, an orphan kitsune. Miroku, a pervertd monk with a cursed hand. Sango, a passionate demon slayer. And finally the antagonist of the show, Naraku, an evil demon seeking the destruction of InuYasha and his friends. With it's mixture of adventure, comedy, drama, and angst, InuYasha appeals can appeal to older people, but mostly I find it would sit well for teens. The series does seem repetitve and runs a bit too long (Note: most normal anime series run 22 to 26 episodes, give or take. InuYasha has 167). However, for most part, the show is well worth watching.

  8 Great

  I still wake up early to watch this! hide « show »

  Oh my gosh, this is one of my favorite animes and i love it so much. Although the manga is better, and i don't really get the point of why they put in fillers, it's pretty good. I still like the first season the best. The second season got annoying when InuYasha kept turning from demon to half demon to human and on and on.....3rd season has too many fillers. My favorite character would have to be shippo, but after Sango joined, everyone forgot about him and it was just InuYasha and Kagome or Sango and Miroku. All characters need to receive the same amount of attention, except the main character might need more since they are the "main" All and all, i say this show is great and the drawing is nice, and i laugh while watching because of shippo (But how can a man give birth to a woman?) Hilarious!

  It is a feudal fairytale! hide « show »

  I just happen to come across this show one day and I'm really glad I did now! I love the whole romance in it. Which is saying a lot because I usually don't get really into that part of a show. But I just love Kagome and Inuyasha together. I also love the fantasy element part of this show with the demons, priestesses, and magical objects. It perfect show to watch if you're an anime fan but wants something a litter bit more mature. The only complaint I have is that it ended too soon. They need to bring it back!

  5 Mediocre

  It was really good when it first started but was ruined shortly after they revealed the main character naraku is immortal. hide « show »

  It was interesting when it first got started but after miroku joined the show starts to suck. They obviously wern't thinking when they made the bad guy all powerful and immortal. Thats the reason why they had to end it cause there's no possible way to kill naraku. Its sad to see shows like this that start out good and then just seem to fall apart. They make the bad guys have atk power over 9000 and then to correct that mistake they make the good guys gods with infinite atk power. Basically they only needed to keep with the basic story line and not make naraku. They could of made it like tokko. I honestly think this anime would of lasted if they had a good idea for the main villain. Should of been sesshomaru sp? trying to get the jewel shards so that he could become more powerful. it seems like the show turned out just like pokemon.
