Miroku

Miroku (弥（み）勒（ろく）, "Maitreya") is a hōshi who traveled with Inuyasha, Kagome, Shippō, and Sango. His paternal grandfather was cursed fifty years ago by Naraku, leading to the creation of the Kazaana, which was destined to be passed down to all of his male descendants, including Miroku himself.
