Minor characters of Inuyasha

This group was an enemy tribe of Kouga's tribe. Their leader had a Shikon shard, which the Yasha gang took after defeating them during a tribal war between Kouga's group and the Gokurakuchou. The leader also managed to get the third Shikon shard that Kouga had in his right arm out before dying, which fell into the hands of the Yasha gang.

This is Naraku's third detachment. Goshinki could read minds, move very quickly, and was super-strong with extremely powerful teeth. He was short-lived, though, because Inuyasha shredded him after being forced to turn into a full demon when Goshinki broke Tessaiga.

Hachiemon (a raccoon demon) is an acquaintance of Miroku. He has the power to change his shape into rather odd things. He has a weird sense of humor, but he is a little bit of a coward. He's very gentle, otherwise, and helps Miroku whenever he can.

This is simply a useless demon part discarded by Naraku. It is first discovered in the anime by Ayame, who is trying to catch up to Kouga. By the end of the hairball's episode, though, it has proven to be unhelpful in tracking the whereabouts of Naraku, and Kouga, though he gets ingested by the hairball for perhaps ten seconds, blows the hairball into little bits. Bad hair day, literally.

These two wolf demons are Kouga's minions. Once Kouga starts wandering around more in search of Kagura and Naraku, these two have to follow him around all the time--a hard job to do since Kouga can run so fast. They like to call Kagome Ne-san [Sis] because she is "Kouga's woman" and therefore deserves their respect.

Hari was a minion of Menoumaru, who was the main antagonist in the first Inuyasha movie. She managed to gain control of Kirara in much the same way that Menoumaru gained control of Kagome. Having Kirara on her side was a big plus when she battled against Sango, who was destined to be her advisary. Sango eventually didn't try to fight Kirara anymore, and Kirara hit her pretty hard. When Hari wanted Kirara to finish Sango off, Kirara didn't obey and banged her head against a nearby tree trunk until the controlling device broke. Since Hari couldn't fly around on Kirara anymore, Sango had a much easier time taking her out.

A thunder demon, Hiten is the older brother of Manten, and is the more powerful of the two (also the more violent). Hiten had three Shikon shards in his forehead when Inuyasha first met him, but had five when Inuyasha defeated him. After Inuyasha had killed Manten with Tessaiga, Hiten devoured the two Shikon shards on Manten's forehead, but even five weren't enough to beat Inuyasha. His weapon was Raijekijin [Blade of Lightning].

This cute little girl is in the same class as Souta, who has a huge crush on her. He manages to tell her his feelings after Inuyasha gives him help in being a man about showing his feelings (Inuyasha should take some of his own advice). Hitomi thankfully likes Souta, too, so now they're an item.

The father of Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha, his name is withheld in the third movie, where he has a speaking role. His face is only hinted at. After hearing bits about him in the TV series, and the third movie, it's obvious that this dog demon was a BADASS. Despite Sesshoumaru's claim that he died pitifully, I think that dying for love is a pretty glorious way to go.
