Inuyasha is a half-demon who travels through feudal Japan searching for shards of the Shikon Jewel with his friends so that he can become a full demon. He has white hair, dog ears, claws and wears a fire rat robe for protection. Though often rude, he cares deeply for his friends and thinks about protecting them as well as becoming stronger. To those who don't know him well, Inuyasha seems rude and aggressive, but his friends see his softer, caring side and know he wants to become more powerful.
