Character

Sesshōmaru

殺生丸, せっしょうまる, "Destruction of Life"

A powerful Inu Daiyōkai, feared throughout the Feudal Era. He was the half-brother of the hanyō Inuyasha and the first son of the Tōga, their father. Unlike many other yōkai, he had no interest in possessing even a single shard of the Shikon no Tama to enhance his powers and considered yōkai who sought its abilities only to strengthen themselves as pathetic and weak. Despite the lack of interest towards the Shikon no Tama, he longed to end Naraku's life due to personal reasons. On his journey, he was accompanied by a two-headed dragon named A-Un, a demon imp named Jaken, an orphaned human girl named Rin, and eventually Sango's younger brother Kohaku. On several occasions throughout the series Sesshōmaru's group happened to encounter Inuyasha's group while both teams were hounding down Naraku and Sesshōmaru more or less willingly helped out Inuyasha and his friends which he always claimed as not have been his actual intentions in any of such situation.
