Inuyasha is the main protagonist in the anime and manga under the same name, InuYasha. Being a half-demon, he inhered his father's demonic strength and kept his mother's human heart. Growing up discriminated by both humans and demons Inuyasha soughed after the Shikon Jewel to become a full-demon. However, he finds out the Jewel is being guarded by the miko Kikyo, whom he falls in love with, and after a tragic turn of events she seals him to the Goshinboku for 50 years.

Fanon

• Inuyasha was 150 years old when he was sealed to the Goshinboku, making him approximately 200 years old at the beginning of the story.
• Canonically, Inuyasha’s demon transformation is triggered as a last resort to preserve his life. However, within the fandom, his transformation can also be triggered by strong negative emotions such as fear or anger—typically when Kagome is hurt or in danger.
• As an Inu-hanyō, Inuyasha naturally follows pack dynamics. Such traits become more pronounced during his Full Demon Transformation, his behavior tends to be rougher and more dominant, especially during sexual activities. By contrast, his Human Form is often portrayed as gentler and more submissive, reflecting a softer side of his personality.
