InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Inuyasha - love story - rewritten ❯ disclaimer ( Prologue )

Characters:

 

Kagome Higurashi (Higurashi Kagome) Voiced by Satsuki Yukino, Moneca Stori

Kagome is a third year middle school student. She is the reincarnation of Kikyo, a priestess (miko) who died 50 years before the time Kagome first emerges from the Bone Eater's Well in the Feudal era. Because of this Kagome has powerful spiritual powers (miko powers) herself and can even sense jewel shards. Kagome can be extremely sweet, but can also become very dangerous when provoked. InuYasha wears a special bead necklace (known as the Beads of Subjugation) which only responds to Kagome's command: when she yells "Sit!" ("Osuwari!") (Often "Sit, boy!" in the dub). At this, InuYasha is thrown to the ground. The necklace was placed upon him due to his dangerous attitude when he was unsealed.

InuYasha Voiced by Kappei Yamaguchi, Richard Ian Cox

InuYasha is a half-demon ("hanyÅ" in Japanese), the product of a inu-yÅkai and a human. He wields the Tessaiga (pronounced "Tetsaiga" and spelled "Tetsusaiga" in the American dub), a supernatural sword made from one of his deceased father's fangs. This sword, when properly wielded, can destroy one hundred demons with a single swing. InuYasha can quickly recover from injuries which would be fatal for any average human, because of his demon heritage. On the night of the new moon each month, InuYasha will change into a normal human with black hair, brown eyes, and loses his yokai power during this time. InuYasha was bound to Goshinboku by Kikyo's arrow until Kagome freed him.

Miroku Voiced by KÅji Tsujitani, Kirby Morrow

A Buddhist 'houshi,' or low-ranking, itinerant monk, Miroku traveled the countryside performing services such as exorcisms and yÅkai exterminations to earn his living. He suffers from a hereditary curse originally inflicted upon his grandfather Miyatsu (also a Buddhist monk) by Naraku. The curse created hole in his hand that became a kazÄna (air void or "wind tunnel") which sucks in anything not nailed down, regardless of mass. Miroku uses the kazÄna as a powerful weapon against yÅkai, but if the curse is not broken (by defeating Naraku), it will grow too large to control and consume Miroku himself. Miroku is a talented con artist who does not hesitate to invent fictitious supernatural menaces which he can then offer to combat in return for food and shelter, and he has a distinct weakness for pretty women. He makes a point of asking every attractive woman he meets if she will bear his child, and his hands have a seemingly uncontrollable habit of wandering.

Sango Voiced by Houko Kuwashima, Kelly Sheridan

A yÅkai slayer ("yÅkai taijiya") who hails from a village of professional yÅkai slayers. The only member of InuYasha's group to have no supernatural powers, Sango instead wields the Hiraikotsu, a massive boomerang made of yÅkai bones, in addition to a broad repertoire of tools and tricks for battling yÅkai. Sango seeks revenge against Naraku for the death of her family and her entire village. In addition, Sango seeks to rescue her brother Kohaku from Naraku's influence and somehow save his life, even though Kohaku's life is tied to the jewel shard embedded in his back.

Shippo (ShippÅ) Voiced by Kumiko Watanabe, Jillian Michaels and Katherine Masilungan

An orphaned young yÅkai-fox (kitsune) whose father was killed by the Thunder Brothers, Hiten and Manten, and the first character in the story to join InuYasha and Kagome in their travels as a group. Shippo can shapeshift, but his forms are temporary, often incomplete and ineffective, and he is usually given away by his telltale tail. His other noteworthy abilities illusionary tricks with toys like his giant spinning top attack, using his race's notable fox fire magic, and making things like leaves or himself multiply. He tends to be naively observant and often makes pointed and cheeky comments directed towards InuYasha, earning him a retaliatory bonk on the head for his unsolicited "advice".

Kirara (Kirara) Voiced by Tarako

Sango's faithful, yÅkai-nekomata; light-tan colored fur, with black stripes on each of her bushy tails (she has two) near the tip, and black-tipped paws. Also called Kilala (pronounced "Kee-Lah-Lah") in the English dub, but spelled Kirara. Kirara can change between two forms, a ferocious yÅkai the size of a lion with the ability to fly, and a cute little kitten. Sango, Miroku and Shippo often use Kirara's flying ability as transportation in order to keep up with InuYasha.

 

The Anime:

 

The InuYasha anime series spanned 167 episodes, and was broadcast across Japan by the anime television network, Animax, who have also aired the series across its English-language network in South Asia (being the first network to fully broadcast the series in the English language) and also across its networks in East Asia, and Nippon Television. The series ended on September 13, 2004.

The anime is licensed in North America by Viz and ShoPro Entertainment, and the actual dubbing is done by the The Ocean Group.

InuYasha was first broadcast in the United States on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim on August 31, 2002. The series later premiered on Canadian television screens on YTV on September 5, 2003.

InuYasha is now also shown on Cartoon Network's Latin American incarnation, Cartoon Network LA. In Latin America, it is shown dubbed in Spanish and in Portuguese (Brazil or with SAP in other countries). Cartoon Network LA can be seen in many countries south of the United States, as well as some cruise ships in the Caribbean. It is unknown if the last 7 episodes will air dubbed in the region.

At one point in Latin America, new episodes of InuYasha were airing twice a day, 5 times a week, and reruns were being aired Saturday night - 5 episodes in two hours. This is why the series concluded much faster than in the United States. As of December 2006, InuYasha is in rotation on the network.

In the United States, the final episode of InuYasha aired on October 27, 2006. The series started its second run on January 1, 2007 (The second run meaning Adult Swim has begun from episode 1 again, showing 8 episodes a week, twice a day from Monday to Thursday). This second run, however, is not complete as it skipped over episodes 73-80 for reasons that have not yet been made clear.

In Canada, YTV's Bionix programming block aired the final episode on December 1, 2006. On December 8, 2006, YTV's Bionix began airing reruns of InuYasha, starting with episode 105 "The Ghastly Steel Machine" and the consecutive episodes after it, instead of beginning from the first episode.

InuYasha was dubbed in Mandarin and hosted on Xing Kong, a Tawainese TV Channel. As of December 2006, InuYasha is aired in Singapore on Arts Central with viewers being able to select between Chinese or Japanese dialogue, three times a week from Wednesdays to Fridays at 11 p.m. (Singapore time). InuYasha also was dubbed in Bahasa Melayu for ntv7. The show is aired every Friday at 7:30 p.m.

On April 16th 2007, the first 12 InuYasha episodes will be in released in the UK as well as from the website Play.com (UK).

Four movies, which continued the anime plot, have been released. The first movie, InuYasha the Movie: Affections Touching Across Time was released on December 16, 2001 in Japan with InuYasha the Movie: Fire on the Mystic Island being the last movie to be released; on December 23, 2004 in Japan.
