Personality/History

Miroku is a Buddhist monk who traveled the countryside performing (mostly fictitious) services such as exorcisms and demon exterminations to earn his living. He suffers from a hereditary curse originally inflicted upon his grandfather Miyatsu by Naraku. The hole in his hand became a Wind Tunnel (風洞, Kazaana) which sucks in almost anything in its path. The Wind Tunnel proves to be a powerful weapon against demons, but grows larger as time passes until finally the user cursed with the Wind Tunnel is swallowed up by it. He joins InuYasha and Kagome in hopes that he will be able to find and kill Naraku so he may break the curse before it consumes him, like his grandfather and father. Miroku also uses his holy staff and Sutra Scrolls to attack enemies.

Miroku first meets InuYasha after he steals the Shikon Jewel. InuYasha attacks Miroku and Miroku quickly uses his Wind Tunnel. Realizing he won't harm humans, Kagome stands in his path. Miroku quickly covers the Wind Tunnel, and after explaining his situation, InuYasha allows him to join their group. Miroku has habit of asking beautiful and young women to bear his child so that, in the case that he would die defeating Naraku, he would have an heir. A running gag is Miroku's lechery, specifically shameless flattery and occasional groping with varying subtlety. After his father had died, Miroku was raised by a monk named Mushin, and learned his lecherous tendencies from him.

Weapons/Abilities

Holy Staff

Miroku's trademark weapon, he uses it for both offense and defense.

Sutra Scrolls

Miroku's second trademark weapon of choice, Miroku uses Sutra Scrolls/Tags as throwing weapons against Demons which usually disable or incapacitate them depending on their strength.

Demon Sensing

While most times Miroku lies about sensing Demons or an 'ominous' presence to con art his way to a free stay at a inn, He is able to sense Demonic presences.

Barrier Conjuring

Miroku is able to create a small to medium sized barrier around himself or others, however he is only able to keep it up only by concentrating as well as keeping in one place.

Wind Tunnel (風洞, Kazanna)

While not a 'real weapon', Miroku uses his curse only in times of dire need because the more he uses it the more it expands. The Wind Tunnel or Kazanna can suck up almost anything into a eternal abyss, though it's unknown what the fate to those who are unlucky to get sucked into the Wind Tunnel goes to.
