Inuyasha

The main character of Inu-Yasha (hence the name) is half-human/half-youkai. He first meets Kagome when she releases him from...

Kagome

The other main character of Inu-Yasha. She frees Inuyasha from deep sleep. And she is also known as Kikyou's Reincarnation.

Miroku

Miroku is a monk that joins Kagome and Inuyasha on their search for the Shikon no Tama. He is cursed with a wound on his hand that sucks up everything around him-the Air Rip (sorta like a black hole). Like Inuyasha and the rest of the gang he is searching for Naraku for revenge because Naraku is the reason why he is cursed with the wound on his hand. Aside from all that, Naraku is very good natured and he is also very a bit of a womanizer (i really shouldn't say a bit). He asks every woman he meets to if she could bare his children. He's really perverted.
