InuYasha (犬夜叉, InuYasha?), full title InuYasha, A Feudal Fairy Tale
(戦国お伽草子–犬夜叉, Sengoku Otogi Zōshi InuYasha?) (also romanized as Inuyasha), is
a popular manga series written by Rumiko Takahashi. The story centers around
a time-traveling middle school student, a half-demon, a lecherous monk, a
young fox demon, a demon slayer, and a nekomata in the Sengoku Period who
seek to restore the Jewel of Four Souls (Shikon no Tama) and to keep it out
of the hands of the evil Naraku.
The series is named after one of the main characters. The name "InuYasha"
means "dog spirit". Inu (犬) is a Japanese word meaning "dog". Yasha (夜叉) is
a Buddhism-related word meaning "spirit".[1]
The manga was adapted into a 167 episode anime series directed by Masashi
Ikeda (episodes 1 to 44) and Yasunao Aoki (44 onwards) and produced by
Sunrise. The anime first aired on Yomiuri TV in Japan from 16 October 2000
to 13 September 2004. The television run of the anime ceased without a
conclusion to the story. The manga is still being released in Japan as of
today.
Plot overview
The story begins in feudal Japan with InuYasha, a hanyō stealing the Jewel
of Four Souls (四魂の玉 Shikon no Tama), a jewel that can increase anyone's
powers enormously, from a village. He does not get far before Kikyo, the
young miko of the village, shoots InuYasha with a sacred arrow, sealing him
forever to Goshinbokutree. Mortally wounded, Kikyo tells her younger sister,
Kaede, to burn the jewel with her remains to prevent it from falling into
the wrong hands.
In modern Tokyo, a junior high-school girl named Kagome Higurashi is on her
way to school. She stops in the well house of her family's Shinto shrine to
retrieve her cat, Buyo, when a centipede demon bursts forth and pulls her
into the feudal period of Japan.
Not knowing where she is, Kagome wanders around a forest near the well. She
spots a Goshinboku tree off in the distance and proceeds to towards it. When
she reaches the tree, she finds InuYasha, who is still pinned with an arrow
to the tree, asleep. Villagers seize her and take her to the old miko, Kaede.
Recognizing that Kagome is the re-incarnation of her sister Kikyo, Kaede
tells the story of Kikyo and InuYasha.
The centipede attacks again, and Kagome is forced to release InuYasha to
kill it. After defeating the centipede, in order to prevent InuYasha from
taking the Jewel of Four Souls, Kaede casts magical prayer beads around
InuYasha's neck so Kagome can subdue him.
Then the jewel attracts more demons. In a battle against a carrion crow
demon, the jewel is shattered into numerous shards.
Kagome and InuYasha set out to collect the shards and restore the Jewel of
Four Souls. Along the way they befriend Shippo, a fox demon, Miroku, a monk
with a cursed hand (has a black hole in it), and Sango, a demon-slayer who
is looking for her brother who was tricked by the evil half-demon, Naraku,
to kill all of his fellow-demon slayers. The group often encounters
InuYasha's brother Sesshomaru, Naraku who tricked Kikyo and InuYasha into
turning against each other, and Koga, a wolf demon who is in love with
Kagome and wants to make her "his woman".
Characters
Kagome Higurashi (日暮 かごめ, Higurashi Kagome?) Voiced by: Satsuki Yukino
(Japanese), Moneca Stori (English)
Kagome is a 15 year-old 9th grade student. She is the reincarnation of Kikyo,
a miko (priestess, miko?) who died 50 years before the time Kagome first
emerges from the Bone Eater's Well in the Sengoku Jidai (Feudal era, Sengoku
Jidai?). Because of this Kagome has powerful spiritual powers herself and
can even sense the Shikon no Tama (Jewel of Four Souls, Shikon no Tama?).
Kagome can be extremely sweet, but can also become very dangerous when
provoked. InuYasha wears a special bead necklace which only responds to
Kagome's command: when she yells "Sit!" ("Osuwari!", "Sit!"?).[2] At this,
InuYasha is thrown to the ground. The necklace was placed upon him by Kaede
due to his dangerous attitude when he was unsealed.
InuYasha (犬夜叉, InuYasha?) Voiced by: Kappei Yamaguchi (Japanese), Richard
Ian Cox (English)
InuYasha is a hanyō (半妖, half-demon?), the product of an inu-yōkai (犬妖怪, dog
demon?) and a human. He wields the Tessaiga [3], a supernatural sword made
from one of his deceased father's fangs. This sword, when properly wielded,
can destroy one thousand demons with a single swing. InuYasha can quickly
recover from injuries which would be fatal for any average human, because of
his demonic heritage. On the night of the new moon each month, InuYasha will
change into a normal human with black hair, grey eyes, and loses his yokai
power during this time. InuYasha was bound to Goshinboku (Sacred God Tree or
Tree of Ages, Goshinboku?) by Kikyo's arrow for fifty years until Kagome
freed him.
Miroku (弥勒, Miroku?) Voiced by: Kōji Tsujitani (Japanese), Kirby Morrow
(English)
A Buddhist "hōshi," (low-ranking, itinerant monk, "hōshi,"?), Miroku
traveled the countryside performing services such as exorcisms and yōkai
(demon, yōkai?) exterminations to earn his living. He suffers from a
hereditary curse originally inflicted upon his grandfather Miyatsu (also a
Buddhist monk) by Naraku. The curse created a hole in his hand that became a
kazaana (air void or "wind tunnel", kazaana?) which sucks in anything not
nailed down, regardless of mass. However, absorbing poisons harms him, a
fact Naraku takes advantage of by creating highly poisonous insects whose
presence prevents Miroku from using his kazana on Naraku or his allies.
Miroku uses the kazana as a powerful weapon against yōkai, but if the curse
is not broken (by defeating Naraku), it will grow too large to control and
consume Miroku himself. Miroku is a talented con artist who does not
hesitate to invent fictitious supernatural menaces which he can then offer
to combat in return for food and shelter, and he has a distinct weakness for
pretty single women. He makes a point of asking every attractive woman he
meets if she will bear his child, and he habitually strokes the buttocks of
attractive women. He also eventually proposes to Sango, though this does
little to curb his flirtations with other women.
Sango (珊瑚, Sango?) Voiced by: Houko Kuwashima (Japanese), Kelly Sheridan
(English)
A "yōkai taijiya" (demon slayer, "yōkai taijiya"?) who hails from a village
of professional yōkai slayers. The only member of InuYasha's group to have
no supernatural powers, Sango instead wields the Hiraikotsu, a massive
boomerang made of yōkai bones, in addition to a broad repertoire of tools
and tricks for battling yōkai. Sango seeks revenge against Naraku for the
death of her family and her entire village. In addition, Sango seeks to
rescue her brother Kohaku from Naraku's influence and somehow save his life,
even though Kohaku's life is tied to the jewel shard embedded in his back.
She also eventually falls for Miroku. Although everyone but InuYasha
noticed, she never wanted to admit it. Her interest was manifested by
hitting Miroku when he flirted with other single women.
Shippo (七宝, Shippō?) Voiced by: Kumiko Watanabe (Japanese), Jillian Michaels
(actress) (English)
A young orphan kitsune (fox demon, kitsune?) whose father was killed by the
Thunder Brothers, Hiten and Manten, and the first character in the story to
join InuYasha and Kagome in their travels as a group. Shippo can shapeshift,
but his forms are temporary, often incomplete and ineffective, and he is
usually given away by his tail. His other noteworthy abilities illusionary
tricks with toys like his giant spinning top attack, using his race's
notable fox fire magic, and making things like leaves or himself multiply.
He tends to be naively observant and often makes pointed and cheeky comments
directed towards InuYasha, earning him a retaliatory bonk on the head for
his unsolicited "advice".
Kirara (雲母, Kirara?) Voiced by: Tarako Isono
Sango's faithful nekomata; Kirara [4] has light-tan colored fur, with black
stripes on each of her two bushy tails near the tip, and black-tipped paws.
Kirara can change between two forms, a ferocious yōkai the size of a lion
with the ability to fly, and a cute little kitten. Sango, Miroku, and Shippo
often use Kirara's flying ability as transportation in order to keep up with
InuYasha.

and still shows no sign of stopping. Chapters 499 onwards will comprise of

In the United States the English version is published by Viz Media. The
artwork is flipped to conform to the American standard of reading left to
right. Volume 1 was published in March 1998, with either two or three new
volumes following each year. At present, the series has stepped up to a
quarterly release basis. Volume 28 was published in January 2007, while
Volume 29 was published on April 10, 2007, signifying that although Viz is
still several years away from catching up to the number of volumes in Japan,
they will start to catch up soon with the release of volume 30.
It should be noted that the manga will pick up where the anime ends with
Volume 36.
Anime
The InuYasha anime series spanned 167 episodes, and was broadcast across
Japan by the anime satellite television network, Animax, who have also aired
the series across its English-language network in South Asia (being the
first network to fully broadcast the series in the English language) and
also across its networks in East Asia, Yomiuri TV and Nippon Television. The
series ended on September 13, 2004.
The anime is licensed in North America by Viz and ShoPro Entertainment, and
the actual dubbing is done by the The Ocean Group.
InuYasha was first broadcast in the United States on Cartoon Network's Adult
Swim on August 31, 2002. The series later premiered on Canadian television
screens on YTV on September 5, 2003. However, today on Adult Swim's website
there is still no listing for episodes from about number 140-167.
InuYasha is now also shown on Cartoon Network's Latin American incarnation,
Cartoon Network LA. In Latin America, it is shown dubbed in Spanish and in
Portuguese (Brazil or with SAP in other countries). Cartoon Network LA can
be seen in many countries south of the United States, as well as some cruise
ships in the Caribbean. It is unknown if the last 7 episodes will air dubbed
in the region.
At one point in Latin America, new episodes of InuYasha were airing twice a
day, 5 times a week, and reruns were being aired Saturday night - 5 episodes
in two hours. This is why the series concluded much faster than in the
United States. As of December 2006, InuYasha is in rotation on the network.
In the United States, the final episode of InuYasha aired on October 27,
2006. The series started its second run on January 1, 2007 (The second run
meaning Adult Swim has begun from episode 1 again, showing 8 episodes a
week, twice a day from Monday to Thursday) This second run, however, despite
skipping over episodes 73-80 for reasons that have not yet been made clear,
ended on May 18, 2007 and a third run has started in the same fashion.
Starting on the second week of July, it will air on 5 days, Monday to
Friday, from 1:30 a.m. to 2:30 a.m., making 10 episodes a week. Episodes
73-80 are scheduled to air in this run, and the run is scheduled to end in
late September.
In Canada, YTV's Bionix programming block aired the final episode on
December 1, 2006. On December 8, 2006, YTV's Bionix began airing reruns of
InuYasha, starting with episode 105 "The Ghastly Steel Machine" and the
consecutive episodes after it, instead of beginning from the first episode.
InuYasha was dubbed in Mandarin Chinese and hosted on Xing Kong, a Taiwanese
TV Channel. As of December 2006, InuYasha is aired in Singapore on Arts
Central with viewers being able to select between Chinese or Japanese
dialogue, three times a week from Wednesdays to Fridays at 11 p.m.
(Singapore time). InuYasha also was dubbed in Bahasa Melayu for ntv7. The
show is aired every Friday at 7:30 p.m.
On April 16, 2007, the first 12 InuYasha episodes were released on DVD in
the UK.

Growth and popularity
InuYasha is fairly popular in the Canadian internet community. According to
Google, InuYasha was the most searched for term on their search engine in
Canada, in 2004. InuYasha was also the third most popular searched for term
in Canada in all of 2003.[9][10]
Leaping onto American TVs on August 31, 2002, InuYasha made its debut in
Cartoon Network's Saturday Adult Swim Block. American fans loved it and the
show's rapid rise in popularity quickly pushed it to air five nights a week.
According to Viz, the release of the feature film, InuYasha: Affections
Touching Across Time on DVD has sold over 30,000 units to-date and has
occupied the number two spot on Nielsen Videoscan’s Anime Rankings for three
consecutive weeks. As a series overall, more than 800,000 DVDs of the
InuYasha series have been sold since March 2003.
On the literary side, InuYasha graphic novels also continue to show strong
sales numbers. Volume 19 of the InuYasha manga series has been ranked Number
3 on Nielsen Bookscan’s Graphic Novel Top 50 List for the week ending
October 3, 2004, and Volume 1 is at Number 18 in its 77th straight week on
top, confirming a growing interest among new fans. [1] On FanFiction.Net,
InuYasha has the most fan-fictions in its category, having over 72,700
entries. However, now Naruto has the most in the anime section with over
80,000 entries.[11]
Allusions
For fans of Rumiko Takahashi's earlier works it is easy to see that InuYasha
has its roots in a short story from the 1980s that Takahashi wrote entitled
"Fire Tripper". The story deals with a high school girl named Suzuko
traveling back in time to the Sengoku Era where she encounters Shukumaru, a
brash young warrior who takes a romantic liking to her. While Fire Tripper
deals mostly with the story device of time travel, it does share many things
in common with InuYasha. InuYasha and Shukumaru both have similar
personalities, fighting first and asking questions later, while the
schoolgirl outfits of both Suzuko and Kagome are hard to miss.
In addition, many if not all of the major characters bear a resemblance to a
character from one of Takahashi's earlier manga, most often Ranma 1/2.
