InuYasha
犬夜叉
Kagome is a modern Japanese high school girl. Never the type to believe in myths and legends, her world view dramatically changes when, one day, she's pulled out of her own time and into another! There, in Japan's ancient past, Kagome discovers more than a few of those dusty old legends are true, and that her destiny is linked to one legendary creature in particular--the dog-like half-demon called Inuyasha! That same trick of fate also ties them both to the Shikon Jewel, or "Jewel of Four Souls." But demons beware...the smallest shard of the Shikon Jewel can give the user unimaginable power.

日暮かごめ
MAINKagome Higurashi (日暮(ひぐらし) かごめ, "Birdcage (first name), Sunset (family name)") is the modern day reincarnation of the feudal era miko, Kikyō, and the narrator and heroine of the series. She was unknowingly born with the legendary Shikon no Tama inside her body until the day of her 15th birthday, when a yōkai pulled her into her family's sacred well, taking her roughly five hundred years back in time, and later extracted the newly reborn gem from her. After she accidentally shattered the jewel into hundreds of fragments that disperse all throughout Japan. Kagome, along with the hanyō Inuyasha, had to recover all the shards of the Jewel before they fall into the evil influence of the evil mastermind Naraku, meeting several allies and enemies in the process. In the ending, soon after Naraku's defeat, she married Inuyasha and lived forever with him in the past.

弥勒
MAINMiroku (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.

雲母
MAINKirara is originally the companion of Midoriko, the miko who created the Shikon no Tama, suggesting that she is far older than she seemed, which made her the oldest member of Inuyasha's group. Sometime later, she became Shako's family companion, was passed down by Shako to Sango's father, and then by Sango's father to Sango when she was still very young.

菖蒲
SUPPORTINGShe later grows up and comes after Kōga, saying that her grandfather was going to marry her off to another wolf demon but she chose him since he promised, is very persistent, and tries to use force several times on him. When Kōga says that he will only marry a woman who can sense the Shikon Jewel shards (as a way to get rid of her), she announces that she will train herself to sense them like Kagome, though Miroku makes it clear that it is probably impossible.

睡骨
SUPPORTINGSuikotsu (睡骨(すいこつ), "Sleep Skill/Bone") was a member of the Shichinintai. Like the others, he loved carnage and killing; however, unlike them, he had a split personality. This personality was that of a kind-hearted doctor, who may have been the original personality until a traumatic event caused the birth of his other, more bloodthirsty, personality.
