Inuyasha

Half demon, half human, Inuyasha seeks the Shikon Jewel, the jewel of Four Souls, because it will give him full power as a demon. Impatient and self centered, he was in love with Kikyo, a priestess of the jewel. He’s only half demon so sometimes he loses his power. On nights of the new moon his power falls to that of an ordinary human. He is also Sesshomaru's brother.

Kagome Higurashi

Ninth-grader Kagome was suddenly drawn into the Warring States period through the Bone-Eater's Well. She is thought to be the reincarnation of Kikyo because of their resemlance and since the jewel came out of her body. Kagome’s power gives her arrows an evil destroying aura and purifies the polluted shards of the Jewel.

Shippo

The son of a demon fox who was killed by demon brothers, Hiten and Manten. To avenge his father, he first tries to steal the shards of the jewel from Kagome and her party. He later becomes a friend and mascot of the group. It is ironic that he is the most mature of Kagome's friends.

Kaede

Kikyo's younger sister. She is the priestess and protector of the village in Kikyo's place, living near the shrine. She is a strong ally to Kagome and Inuyasha in their quest for the jewel. Like her sister she is an archer, but her supernatural power is much less than Kikyo's.

Sango & Kirara

She is the only survivor of the exterminator village, where all except her were massacred by Naraku's minions.Believing Naraku's lie that Inuyasha destroyed her village, she first attacks Inuyasha. After she learns the truth, she joins Inuyasha's camp. Like Miroku, she hunts Naraku. She usually dresses in traditional clothes, like a village girl, but in battle she puts on her exterminator uniform. Kirara is Sango's pet from the exterminator village and is a nekomata, an ancient breed of cat with a split tail and supernatural powers. She usually takes the form of a house cat, but in a battle becomes a flying demon with huge, sharp fangs.

Miroku

A roving Buddhist monk, a ladies' man and very skilled in the magical arts. A curse by Naraku created a void in his right hand, which he inherited from his grandfather. The Kazaana ["Wind Tunnel"] is an entrance to another dimension. Unless he breaks the curse, the void will eventually swallow him up.

Hachiemon

This little raccoon is threatened, coerced, and overused by Miroku. He changes shape using a leaf and flies, with Miroku riding him.

Myoga

The keeper of the false grave of Inuyasha's father is a flea-demon who sucks blood and is easily squashed. Blood seems to be a stimulant for him as well. This old flea-demon has vast knowledge and a keen sense of danger. No one can escape to a safe place quicker than Myoga.
