Higurashi Kagome is the protagonist of the anime and manga series InuYasha. A high school student living in modern-day Japan, Kagome lives at an ancient Shinto shrine with her mother, her grandfather, and her younger brother, Sota. On her 15th birthday, her life takes a dramatic turn when she is pulled into the Bone-Eater's Well located within her family's shrine. The well transports Kagome 500 years to the past to Japan's Sengoku period. There, she discovers she is the reincarnation of Kikyo, a powerful priestess tasked with protecting the Shikon Jewel.

Divided opinions among the fandom
Fanon
- Kagome showed great interest in herbalism and healing her friends during combat, that's why—especially on modern au’s— Kagome gets involved in the medical field as a nurse or doctor.
- Kagome’s journey in the feudal era lasted approximately 3 years. Although there’s some debate about this—one year being the second most popular opinion and most canonically accurate interpretation—a three-year time span shows how Kagome's time in the feudal era helped her build a strong relationship with Inuyasha, grow closer to her friends, and experience life-changing personal growth.
- Given Kagome’s age being 15 years old at the beginning of the story, she is thought to be a junior high student.
- Although during the Jewel Shard Hunt Kagome was already considered a miko she only started an official priestess training with Kaede when she came back to the feudal era after the Three-year-gap.
