Kanna (神無?) is the first detachment of Naraku. She appears to be a ten-year-old girl with white hair and clothing.[9] As a "concealed incarnation" of Naraku, Kanna has no scent and no demonic aura, making her undetectable to InuYasha's senses and immune to demonic aura-related effects such as the Hakurei-zan barrier.[10] Kanna is the only incarnation that Naraku trusts with important information about his actions, allowing her to give orders in his place.
Kanna carries a demonic mirror that can steal the souls of those reflected in it. Once a soul is trapped by her mirror, Kanna can control that person's body to carry out her bidding. However, the mirror can be overwhelmed by an especially powerful soul such as Kagome's, forcing Kanna to release all of the trapped souls before the glass shatters. The mirror can also create a glass demon to copy the abilities of whatever it reflects, though Kanna herself suffers damage when the glass demon is wounded. In her last battle, Kanna is ordered by Naraku to commit suicide, shattering herself and her glass demon into thousands of tiny shards. Driven by Kanna's final thought, one of the shards hits Kagome's right eye and gives her the knowledge of how to destroy Naraku.
She is voiced by Yukana Nogami. In the English dub, she is voiced by Janyse Jaud.

The Infant (赤å, Akago?) is Naraku's heart and seventh detachment. He appears to be a human baby, but can speak fluently and control people with the darkness in their own hearts. His goal is to use Kagome to find the remaining shards of the Shikon Jewel. He finds her jealousy of InuYasha's feelings for Kikyo, but InuYasha saves her before The Infant can control her. Like Hakudoshi and Kagura, the Infant is not loyal to Naraku. Hakudoshi creates the demonic golem Moryomaru to provide the Infant an impenetrable defense, and the Infant adds new demons to further increase his abilities. Both the baby and Moryomaru are killed when Naraku reabsorbs them.
In the anime adaptation, he is voiced by Ai Kobayashi.
(The Infant) -
Hakudoshi (白童å, HakudÅshi?) is the eighth detachment from Naraku. Created from The Infant's body, he takes the form of a young child. Because his heart remains inside The Infant, he can use all of the same powers and his own body can endlessly regenerate from any damage. Both The Infant and Hakudoshi eventually grow tired of Naraku's rule and seek to overthrow him. Hakudoshi creates Moryomaru to protect the infant. Naraku discovers their traitorous intentions and has the Saimyosho (poisonous hell wasps) abandon Hakudoshi in battle, giving him no protection against Miroku's Wind Tunnel. Hakudoshi is subsequently sucked into the tunnel and killed.
He is voiced by Ai Kobayashi. In the English dub, he is voiced by Chiara Zanni
(You know, none of Naraku's detatchments had a choice as to what they did...) -
Byakuya (白夜?) is Naraku's ninth and final detachment, meant to replace Kagura. His main purpose is to observe InuYasha and Moryomaru's growing powers and report back to Naraku. He has an incredible power to create illusions, but has many other powers as well: he can possess people with paper soldiers, summon vines to entrap his enemies, teleport others to different dimensions, detach organs from his body, and erect barriers. He travels on a giant origami paper crane.
After taking the power of one slash of InuYasha's Meidou Zangetsuha, he later slashes Kagome with the blade. However, before he gets a chance at a second strike, InuYasha attacks him with his Meidou Zangetsuha and Byakuya is absorbed into it. When Naraku dies, a Meidou appears behind Kagome, due to Byakuya's Meidou Blade. In the anime television series, Byakuya is voiced by Mitsuaki Madono.
(Eh) -
Kagura (神楽?) is a creation of Naraku's, his second "detachment" although she is introduced before her "elder sister" Kanna.[8] A wind sorceress, Kagura uses a fan to enhance her powers; she can create a blade-like tornado or use wind to animate dead bodies. She can also use her feather hair-ornaments as transportation, enlarging them to ride in the wind. Though initially cold and calculating, her hatred for Naraku increases and she attempts to free herself from his control, covertly opposing him to the point of offering aid to both InuYasha and Sesshomaru in hopes that they can kill him.
As time goes on, Kagura becomes much more sympathetic and caring toward InuYasha and even more hostile toward Naraku and his minions. After Kohaku's memories return, Kagura becomes increasingly protective of the boy: she shares information with him about Naraku's weaknesses; she thwarts her fellow "detachment" HakudÅshi from taking the Shikon shard that keeps Kohaku alive; finally, she openly defies Naraku by helping Kohaku escape. Naraku mockingly returns her heart before fatally wounding her and leaving her to die. While tracking Naraku, Sesshomaru finds her dying; she seems happy to see him, although his sword Tenseiga cannot save her. InuYasha's group also arrives, helplessly watching her body dissolve into the wind. Afterwards, InuYasha asks if she suffered; Sesshomaru replies that she was smiling when she died.
In the anime adaptation, she is voiced by Izumi Oogami. In the English dub, she is voiced by Janyse Jaud

Naraku (奈�) is the series' primary antagonist. Naraku is responsible for most of the characters' misfortunes, including the death of Kikyo,[5] the sealing of InuYasha to the sacred tree,[6] Miroku's curse, and the death of Sango's family. Naraku was born from the fusion of Onigumo, a crippled human bandit tended by Kikyo, and a horde of weak demons. Driven by frustrated lust for Kikyo, Onigumo made a bargain with the demons: they could eat his flesh, and the demons would combine into one entity to become part of that new body. However the resulting half-demon promptly caused Kikyo's death in an attempt to corrupt and possess the Shikon Jewel. And unlike other Half-Demons, He becomes stronger every month, and can choose what time will he lose his powers.[7]
Naraku is driven by three goals: To become a full demon, to possess a fully-corrupted Shikon Jewel, and to possess Kikyo. The third goal is rooted in Onigumo's heart as a vital part of Naraku's body, causing an obsession with Kikyo that prevents him from killing her. He attempts to rid himself of Onigumo's heart multiple times, ultimately separating it into The Infant. With his heart freed from his obsession, he is able to later kill Kikyo. On his final death, he faintly remembered why he made the bargain in the first place and merely expressed regret at not being able to have Kikyo for his own. He then understood the true essence of peace and recovered himself from his sins.
Throughout the series, Naraku creates many subordinate beings from his own body to aid his goal of killing his opponents and reuniting the shards of the Shikon Jewel, whose corrupted form he hopes to use to gain ultimate power.
In the anime adaptation, he is voiced by Toshiyuki Morikawa. In the English dub, he is voiced by Paul Dobson.

Sesshomaru (殺生丸, SesshÅmaru?) is InuYasha's older half-brother. As a full-blooded demon, he is extremely powerful, though he too has been unable to completely defeat Naraku. Unlike most demons seen in the series, he shows no interest in possessing any of the Shikon shards, feeling confident of his own strength and seeming to find the use of the gem to enhance one's power distasteful. He is initially ruthless in dealing with InuYasha, whom he hates as a half-demon who consorts with humans, and attempts to steal the sword Tessaiga from him. He even had a sword forged from the fangs of Goshinki, an incarnation of Naraku, that sliced the Tetsusaiga into two, knowing that this will match the Tessaiga's power. This sword's name is Tokijin, which later gets destroyed by Moryomaru. However, Sesshomaru gradually becomes more sympathetic and caring after meeting the human child Rin, even going as far as using Tenseiga to revive her. His growing compassion and the reaction of the Tenseiga to Sesshomaru's compassion for Kagura and her slow death prompts the master swordsmith Totosai to reforge Tenseiga, enabling the Meidou Zangetsuha ("dark path of the dawn's moon blast") attack. After Naraku attempts to manipulate him by using Rin as a hostage, Sesshomaru becomes determined to destroy Naraku. He eventually gains his own blade that is a manifestation of his own power, the Bakusaiga. In the anime adaptation, he is voiced by Ken Narita. In the English dub, he is voiced by David Kaye and by Michael Daingerfield in the Final Act.
At the end of the manga, Sesshomaru allowed Rin to stay with Kaede. However, Sesshomaru continued to visit her in a regular basis. He never gained Tessaiga for he finally believed that his father entrusted the sword to Inuyasha in order to protect him. At the end, his frog slave, Jaken, continues to travel with him.
(SESSHY!:D) -
Kikyo (桔梗, KikyÅ?) is a powerful shrine maiden, or miko, who is given the task of guarding the Shikon Jewel. She falls in love with InuYasha and considers using the jewel to turn him from a half-demon into a full human; this would cause the Shikon Jewel to vanish, allowing her to live as an ordinary woman by his side. However, Naraku disguises himself as InuYasha to attack her village, leaving her seriously wounded. Fooled by Naraku, Kikyo believes InuYasha has betrayed her and uses her remaining strength to use a charmed arrow to seal Inuyasha to a charmed tree, leaving him in a comatose state for 50 years. Shortly before she dies, she orders that the Shikon Jewel be burned with her on her funeral pyre. The jewel disappears and is apparently destroyed, but is reborn 500 years later in the body of Kagome Higurashi, her spiritual reincarnation.
After Kagome travels back through time and reappears fifty years after Kikyo's death, an ogress tries to pull her reincarnated soul into a clay body made with graveyard soil and Kikyo's bones and ashes. Kagome appears to suffer no permanent harm, but a small part of her soul detaches and reanimates the new body with Kikyo's memories, personality, and human appearance. Although Kikyo retains some of her old powers in this form, she remains "undead" and must absorb the souls of dead women in order to move. At first, she wants to vengefully drag InuYasha to hell and destroy Kagome to recover the rest of her soul. However, Kikyo gradually returns to her former compassionate nature and learns that Naraku caused the real circumstances of her death. In the anime she is attacked by a reborn Naraku, who has been able to rid himself Onigumo's heart, and falls into a stream of thick miasma. During her last moments she recollects her fond memories of her and Inuyasha. Inuyasha, also having visions of Kikyo, arrives to Kikyo's broken bow and looks into the stream just in time to see a piece of cloth from her clothing fall into the stream with a soul collector. Her remainder of her soul then dissipates with a flash of light. She is found by Kagome in a future episode, in a dying state from Naraku's miasma, and saves her with her purifying powers and is later permanently killed in the Final Act.
In the anime adaptation, she is voiced by Noriko Hidaka. In the English dub, she is voiced by Willow Johnson

Sango (çŠç‘š?) is a demon slayer who hails from a village of professional demon slayers. Naraku wipes out her entire family and village, then causes Sango to blame InuYasha and try to kill him. When the plot fails, Naraku revives Sango's little brother Kohaku, controlling him as a pawn to manipulate Sango's emotions and attack the rest of InuYasha's group. Sango seeks vengeance against Naraku, but her primary goal is to rescue Kohaku from Naraku's influence and save his life.
Of her broad repertoire of tools and tricks for fighting demons, her most powerful weapon is the Hiraikotsu, a massive boomerang made of purified demon bones. She is accompanied by the demon cat Kirara. Sango is often the victim of Miroku's lecherous tendencies and slaps him for it, but she later confesses her love to him and the two get engaged. After they marry, she allows Kirara to join her brother Kohaku and aid him in his demon slaying.They have three children: twin girls and a boy.
In the anime adaptation, she is voiced by HÅko Kuwashima. In the English dub, she is voiced by Kelly Sheridan.

Miroku (弥勒?) is a Buddhist monk who travels the countryside performing spiritual services such as exorcisms and demon exterminations, although sometimes he deliberately falsifies these to earn comfortable rewards. Miroku can attack enemies with his holy staff and sutra scrolls, but his greatest weapon, the Wind Tunnel embedded in the palm of his hand, is also a hereditary curse originally inflicted by Naraku upon Miroku's grandfather Miyatsu. The Wind Tunnel sucks in almost anything in its path and is a powerful weapon against demons. However, it grows larger with increasing use, so that Miroku's grandfather and father were eventually consumed by their own Wind Tunnels. Miroku hopes to break the curse by killing Naraku.[5]
Miroku first meets InuYasha by stealing the Shikon Jewel, causing them to fight one another until Kagome leaps between them. After Miroku explains his situation, InuYasha allows him to join their group as a valuable ally. Miroku's lechery is a recurrent habit, usually manifesting as shameless flattery, semi-surreptitious groping, and asking random women to bear him a child; he learned these bad habits from the monk Mushin who raised him, but he also has the more serious motive of wanting an heir to follow him if he dies without defeating Naraku. At the end of the series, Miroku no longer bears the Wind Tunnel, and marries Sango. They have three children: twin girls and a boy.
In the anime adaptation, he is voiced by KÅji Tsujitani. In the English dub, he is voiced by Kirby Morrow.

Kagome Higurashi (日暮 ã‹ã”ã‚, Higurashi Kagome?) is the 15-year-old middle school student, narrator, and deuteragonist of the series. Born in modern Japan as the reincarnation of the priestess Kikyo, Kagome has the Shikon Jewel unknowingly hidden inside her body until 1997, when a demon pulls her into the Bone Eater's Well and 500 years back through time.[2] They emerge in the Feudal Era about 50 years after Kikyo's death, where the demon extracts the jewel from Kagome.[3] When another demon seizes the jewel, Kagome shoots it with a bow and arrow. While trying to protect the jewel using a bow and arrow, she accidentally shatters it into numerous shards that disperse throughout Japan. She agrees to help find them, as she can sense the presence of nearby shards. As the series progresses, she falls in love with InuYasha, and finds herself competing with the revived Kikyo for his affections. During the search for the jewel, Kagome's own spiritual powers and archery skills continue to improve, and has unlocked her true power after Sesshomaru killed Magatsuhi, the evil spirit in the Shikon Jewel that was sealing her powers. At the end of the series, Kagome returns to her own time for three years. She is then able to return to the Feudal era where she and InuYasha acknowledge their love for one another and she chooses to remain there with him.
In the anime adaptation, she is voiced by Satsuki Yukino. In the English dub, she is voiced by Moneca Stori and by Kira Tozer[4] in The Final Act.

InuYasha (犬夜�) is the titular character and the main protagonist of the series. Born to a dog demon father and human mother, InuYasha is a half-demon who initially wants to use the powers of the Shikon Jewel to become a full demon. After falling in love with Kikyo, the miko who guards the Jewel, he changes his mind and wants to become human so he can live with her, but Naraku manipulates both of them into believing they have been betrayed by one another. Naraku disguises himself as InuYasha and attacks Kikyo's village, fatally wounding her. Before she dies, she shoots InuYasha with an arrow to seal him onto a sacred tree. InuYasha remains in suspended animation for fifty years until Kagome Higurashi, Kikyo's reincarnation, pulls out the arrow and breaks the seal.[2] After the Shikon Jewel shatters, InuYasha and Kagome travel together to retrieve its shards. At first, he is hostile and uncooperative, but Kikyo's sister Kaede restrains him with a magical necklace that hurls him to the ground whenever Kagome gives the simple command word "Sit!" Initially wary of Kagome's resemblance to Kikyo, InuYasha grows to trust her as a friend and they eventually fall in love with each other. He also forms strong friendships with the other companions they gain. At the end of the series, InuYasha and Kagome acknowledge their love and are living together in the Feudal Era. Due to his half-human nature, InuYasha loses his demonic powers and becomes human during the night of the new moon: his hair changes from white to black, and his fangs, claws, and dog ears are replaced by the normal human equivalents. As he is at his most vulnerable during this time, InuYasha is secretive about when it occurs, revealing it only to his most trusted companions.
InuYasha's sword, Tessaiga, was made from one of his father's fangs. Later in the series, one of InuYasha's fangs is welded into the sword after being sliced into two by an incarnation of Naraku to repair the sword. Tessaiga cannot be wielded by full-blooded demons,(although it's happened a couple of times) as its power is only unleashed when InuYasha uses it to protect humans. It also keeps InuYasha's demon blood in check, preventing it from turning him into a mindless killing machine when his life is in danger. Tesssaiga's sheath can form a barrier to protect InuYasha from most attacks and can call tetsusaiga to it.
In the anime adaptation, InuYasha is voiced by Kappei Yamaguchi. In the English dub, he is voiced by Richard Ian Cox.

Kirara (雲�) is Sango's faithful demon-cat companion. Kirara usually appears to be a small kitten-sized feline with two tails, but can become large enough to carry several passengers (usually Sango, Miroku, and Shippo). Her full-sized form has more prominent fangs, flames around her feet and tail, and enough power to fly through the air fast enough to keep up with InuYasha's top speed.
At the end of the series after Naraku's defeat, she joins Kohaku as he trains to become a demon slayer while Sango starts her new life with Miroku and their children. The anime series suggests that she was once the companion of Midoriko, the miko who created the Shikon Jewel.
She is voiced by Tarako in both the original Japanese and the English dubbed version of the series.
