Kagome Higurashi

Kagome Higurashi (日暮 かごめ) is the modern-day reincarnation of the feudal era miko, Kikyō, and the main female protagonist of the series InuYasha. She was born in modern Japan as a teenager and was unknowingly born with the legendary Shikon no Tama inside her body until the day of her fifteenth birthday, when a yōkai pulled her into her family's sacred well, taking her roughly five hundred years back in time.[1] They emerge in the feudal era, where the demon extracts the newly reborn gem from Kagome.[2] Kagome accidentally shatters the jewel into hundreds of fragments that disperse all throughout Japan.[3] Together with the hanyō Inuyasha, she had to recover all the shards of the Jewel before they fall into the evil influence of the evil mastermind Naraku.
