::About Inu-Yasha:: Written with the ideographic kanji characters for "night" and "witch," in Japanese, yasha is typically the word for a "demon" or "devil," while inu refers to a distinctly less ominous-sounding creature, Canis familiaris, as in the common, domesticated pet. A construct of creator Rumiko Takahashi`s endlessly creativeimagination, Inu-Yasha: A Feudal Fairy Tale is inspired by long centuries of Buddhist tradition and Japanese folklore. In fact, oneof the reasons we decided to release the title as "Inu-Yasha" (rather than as, say, the more prosaic "Dog-Demon")is due to our intentionto hew more closely to the cultural elements which give manga or Japanese comics their uniqueness. Jumping backin time from modern-day to sengoku jidai or "warring-states period" Japan, the story of Inu-Yasha is clearly unlike any of Takahashi`s previous "big" series (Urusei Yatsura, Maison Iku, Ranma½), but as for how different...well, due to thefact that the series is being published in the U.S. nearly simultaneously with Japan, that`s something we`ll just have to keep reading to find out.
<~~Text taken from the inside cover of Inu-Yasha number one.. ::Inu Yasha:: A half-youkai (demon), he was killed by Kikyou (well more like he was quieted) only to be awakened by Kagome 50 years later. Controlled by the magical necklace around his neck, Inu Yasha helps Kagome search for the pieces of the Shiko no Tama. He`s a rathergruff, verbal person who appears to be indifferent to the people he travels with. Butas the story unfolds itseems that there`s more to this youkai than it would seem. ::Kagome:: A teenage girl from modern day Tokyo. She fell into awell at her home and found herself transported to ancient Japan. There she discovers that she is the reincarnation of the priestess Kikyou and carries the Shiko no Tama. Unfortunatly there was a little accident and it kinda broke. So she travels between her two worlds with Inu Yasha and others gathering the pieces before they fall into evil hands. She`s a typical teenager who worries about doing well in school. She`s naturally kind-hearted, if not short-fused.::Kaede:: The little sister of Kikyou.Fifty years after her sister`s death, she discovers a strange girl who looks remarkably like her sister. Throughout the series, Kaede assists Kagome with her search offering both her knowledge and advice. ::Miroku:: Miroku is a monk who is seeking Naraku in order to defeat him. Naraku has cursed Miroku`s grandfather with an air-rip that has been passed down through generations to Miroku. This air-rip will suck in anything and everything until it sucks up Miroku himself. He is open about his feelings and is often called a `perverted monk` because he liek to feelon beautiful women. He also asks girls if they would bear his children. He joined the inuyasha team;so he can help find and destoy Naraku.
