Inu Yasha
Menomaru

Kagome
Kagome is a protagonist of this manga and anime series. Her grandfather is the keeper of Higurashi Shrine, a Shintō shrine near Tokyo. On her fifteenth birthday, she is pulled into the Bone Eater's Well by a centipede demon, called Mistress Centipede. This takes her back in time to the Sengoku period of feudal Japan.
Sesshomaru
Sesshomaru's mother is also an inu daiyokai like her deceased mate, the Inu no Taishou, and as such can transform into a giant dog demon as well as a more human appearance. Although Inu no Taishou sired a child with his human lover Izayoi, it is not indicative that it would have meant ending a relationship with Sesshomaru's mother as it was normality for those of power to have concubines at the time.
Sesshomaru
Sesshomaru is the yokai son of the powerful Inu no Taishou and another, yet unnamed inuyōkai known only as Sesshomaru's Mother.Since Inu no Taishou is considered to be a daiyōkai, Sesshomaru is a daiyōkai himself. In both the manga and the anime, he appears stoic and hard to read. He rarely smiles, and when he does, it is usually not a good thing; Jaken once begged Sesshomaru to beat him rather than to smile because it was Sesshomaru's smile that he feared most.
Asuka
Asuka are characters are from the anime/manga, InuYasha. They are two shikigami in the form of two young girls, appearing to be about Rin's age. They are mainly used as Kikyo's messengers, after Kikyo was slain at Mount Hakurei, by Naraku, and was unconscious, and close to her second death. They are also attendants for Kikyo's other shikigami, Saint Hijiri, who was just a puppet and container of Kikyo's soul. Kochō and Asuka are also capable of erecting and maintaining powerful barriers.

KiraraKirara is a rarely-used feminine personal name. The kanji , "mica" or "isinglass," is made up of the characters for "cloud" and "mother," , and could also be pronounced "unmo" in addition to "kirara." It is interesting to note that the pronunciation "kirara" is similar to the Japanese sound effect "kirakira" used for something glittery, which is fitting to the appearance of mica.

Jaken
