InuYasha/Inu-Yasha (犬夜叉)
[/size]
Name: InuYasha/Inu-Yasha (犬夜叉)[/size]
Translation: literally 'Dog Spirit'[/size]
Gender: Male
Race: Hanyō (Half-Demon)
Age: 15 (200, Years sealed to the Sacred Tree)
Personality/History
[/color] [/center]InuYasha speaks with harsh Japanese. He never uses honorifics and when talking to those he does not like he uses "temee" and "kisama", both of which are considered very rude. He uses the tough masculine pronoun "ore". He also does not show respect to his elders, often calling them "-baba" or "-jiji", which translates as "old hag" or "old geezer", respectively.
InuYasha is a brave but Hanyō, a half-demon, the result of the union between a powerful dog demon lord and a human woman. He maintains a crass, rude attitude towards almost everyone, yet he levels it to a lesser degree towards the rest of his companions except Shippo. One of InuYasha's prominent character traits is his tendency to allow his anger to cloud his judgment and cause him to act rashly, often resulting in violence. InuYasha is offended when someone suggests that he is inferior to yōkai due to his human parentage.
Orphaned at a young age, InuYasha was rejected by humans because of his yōkai side and looked down upon by yōkai because his human blood supposedly taints his superior yōkai blood; thus, he found it hard to trust anyone. The Jewel of Four Souls or Shikon no Tama is a powerful object, capable of turning InuYasha into a full yōkai. Kikyo was the first person, other than his mother, he trusted. He would spend most of the day with Kikyo, hunting demons.
They fell in love, and planned for InuYasha to use the jewel to become a human so he could live a normal life with Kikyo. However, they were manipulated by Naraku who made InuYasha and Kikyo believe they had been betrayed by the other, which contributed to InuYasha's bitterness and change to wanting to use the jewel to become a full demon instead. Later on, InuYasha somewhat realizes that, though Kikyo said it, she didn't approve of him as a hanyō and wanted him human.
He meets Kagome, the girl who unseals him from the God Tree. He soon came to trust her as well as he did Kikyo, yet he was cautious with exposing his feelings around her, having being affected by what he believed was Kikyo's betrayal, which combined with his being shunned by humans and demons alike left him unwilling to trust others easily. But later on, InuYasha also realizes that Kagome, although is traveling with him to turn him into a full yōukai, accepts him as a hanyō, despite the fact that he is neither demon nor human, and had been viewed by others as an outcast.

Abilities
[/color][/center]InuYasha has both physical and sword techniques and abilities. He has superhuman strength, speed, stamina, defense, healing, and senses, particularly hearing and smelling. Being part yōkai, he also has the ability to channel his yōkai energy into his claws into an attack named Iron Reaver Soul Stealer (Japanese version not available) that, when combined with InuYasha's blood, is called Blades of Blood (Japanese version not available). InuYasha also carries the sword Tetsusaiga (鉄砕牙, Tessaiga, Iron Crushing Fang), which enables him to use such moves as Kenatsu, the ability to cut an enemy without physical contact, Wind Scar (Kaze no Kizu) , a special attack accomplished by finding the fissure or scar between colliding demonic winds of Tetsusaiga's wielder and the opposing demon, and Backlash Wave (Bakuryuuha), which creates large twisters that redirects the enemies attack while adding a Wind Scar to it.
Tetsusaiga is also capable of the technique Adamant Barrage (Kongousouha), which occurs when Tetsusaiga's blade turns to fragmented diamonds and, when whipped, shoots out many shards. It can also use Meidō Zangetsuha (冥道 残月破, Meido Zangetsuha, Crescent moon to the path of hell or explosive crescent moon path of hell), which creates a path to Hell. With Kagome, InuYasha was able to use the Sacred Backlash Wave, which consists of Kagome firing a Sacred Arrow into InuYasha's Backlash Wave, but this technique is in anime only, it never appeared in the manga. Given directly from an orb of a bat demon, InuYasha was able to use the Barrier Breaker (红色鉄砕牙) which renders most barriers useless. He is also able to use the Dragon-Scaled Tetsusaiga, which absorbs yōki energy
Being a half-demon, InuYasha loses his demonic powers periodically and is turned into a normal human with black hair. For him, it occurs during the first night of a new moon. His team members try their best to protect him at that time, and keep his vulnerability secret from others. Despite their efforts, however, some of InuYasha's adversaries, including Kagura, learn of this weakness. InuYasha may be controlled by The Beads of Subjugation (言霊の念誦, Kotodama no Nenju), a necklace that Kagome can command, often by using the word "Sit" ("Osuwari") which causes the beads to yank downward.
