description InuYasha Overview

Kagome Higurashi's 15th birthday takes a sudden turn when she is forcefully pulled by a demon into the old well of her family's shrine. Brought to the past, when demons were a common sight in feudal Japan, Kagome finds herself persistently hunted by these vile creatures, all yearning for an item she unknowingly carries: the Shikon Jewel, a small sphere holding extraordinary power. Amid such a predicament, Kagome encounters a half-demon boy named Inuyasha who mistakes her for Kikyou, a shrine maiden he seems to resent. Because of her resemblance to Kikyou, Inuyasha takes a violent dislike to Kagome.

However, after realizing the dire circumstances they are both in, he sets aside his hostility...

help InuYasha FAQ

Why does Kagome get pulled into the Bone-Eater's Well in InuYasha?

Kagome Higurashi is dragged into the Bone-Eater's Well on her 15th birthday because she carries the Shikon Jewel inside her body. The well connects her family's shrine in modern Tokyo to the Sengoku-era world where Inuyasha was sealed to the Sacred Tree.

What is the Shikon Jewel, and why do demons chase Kagome for it?

The Shikon Jewel, also called the Jewel of Four Souls, is a powerful artifact that can greatly increase a demon's strength. After Kagome accidentally shatters it, much of the series follows Kagome and Inuyasha collecting its scattered shards before enemies like Naraku can use them.

How much of InuYasha is covered before The Final Act?

The first InuYasha TV anime ran for 167 episodes from 2000 to 2004. The sequel series InuYasha: The Final Act adapts the manga's ending in 26 episodes and focuses heavily on the final conflict with Naraku.

Is Yashahime directly connected to Kagome and Inuyasha?

Yes. Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon follows the next generation, including Moroha, the daughter of Kagome Higurashi and Inuyasha. It also features Towa and Setsuna, the twin daughters of Sesshomaru and Rin.
