Minor characters of Inuyasha

This rat demon disguised himself as a shaman and convinced the leaders of a village to banish the two-tailed cat keeping him and his rat minions away. The two-tailed cat was Kuroro, who looked very similar to the Yasha gang's Kirara. The Yasha gang defeated Tesso, saving the village from Tesso's flood of rats.

This guy, whose name literally means "Peach Man," was discovered by most of the Yasha gang. He was using the powers of a sennin [wizard; hermit] to feed human flesh to a Ninmenka [Peaches with Human Faces] tree in order to create the Elixir of Life, which granted immortality. He hoped to use Inuyasha and Kagome to speed up the process, and he might have succeeded since Inuyasha was in his human form that night, but some quick thinking by Kagome and help from the real sennin saved everyone's lives.

Touran appears in the Cat Arc of the anime series, which is *not* in the manga. She's one of four siblings trying to resurrect the leader of the Cat Family. Her powers include being able to cast and control ice, and her three other siblings are Shuuran, Karan, and Shunran.

Tsubaki was about the same age as Kikyou when Kikyou was alive. When Sango's village needed a priestess to purify the Shikon no Tama, Tsubaki's master gave it to Kikyou instead. This sent Tsubaki over the edge with jealousy, and she tried to attack Kikyou. Kikyou very easily rebuffed her attack, damaging Tsubaki's right eye. Tsubaki became a kuro miko (dark priestess), and when she was fifty years older, Naraku came to her and lent her his huge chunk of Shikon no Tama to use as an anti-aging device in return for her powers against Kagome. Tsubaki gladly took the offer since Kagome was Kikyou's reincarnation. She was killed in the end by Inuyasha's Baku Ryu-Ha [Grand Sword Style] attack.

This ugly little guy was in the episode in which Miroku sought out a monk by the name of Mushin in order to get his Kazaana [Air Void] repaired after a scuffle with Kamakiri [a Praying Mantis demon]. Using magical powers, he took over Mushin's body and attempted to kill Miroku while Miroku was drugged up. Miroku barely escaped with his head, but the Jar Master was basically sliced in half by Sango's huge boomerang.

The demon that possessed the body of Princess Tsuyu's husband, a lord. Nobunaga had come to help her after hearing about the "insanity" of the lord. He was helped by Kagome, Inuyasha, and Myouga. They all manage to drive out the demon, save the young lord, and reunite her with her kind husband. Tsukumo no Gama had the power to use toad eggs to mature the souls of young girls, and then use those souls to strengthen his own power. He had the use of a Shikon shard, but Kagome's fireball and Inuyasha's Tessaiga killed him pretty quickly.

This is the girl that Nobunaga came to rescue when he heard her husband had gone insane. Actually, her husband had been possessed by Tsukumo no Gama, a Demon Lord who was collecting local village girls for their souls (eww). The Yasha gang managed to save her and her husband from the toad demon.
