Inuyasha, the hanyou (half demon), is the main character of the series hence the name "Inuyasha". Inuyasha is often stubborn but deep down he's a sweety. Although he appears not to like Kagome (as he argues with her about everything) he secretly has feelings for her.
His father was a well known great dog demon. His mother was a beautiful woman who possessed many powers. Because his mother was a human, he inherited human features...and their weakness. Inuyasha's number one goal is to regain all the shards of the Shikon no Tama to become a full fledged demon.
