Sesshomaru

esshomaru (殺生丸, Sesshōmaru?) is Inuyasha's older half-brother. (Aged at 19 in appearance and mindset) As a full-blooded demon, he is extremely powerful, though he too has been unable to completely defeat Naraku. Unlike most demons seen in the series, he shows no interest in possessing any of the Shikon shards, feeling confident of his own strength and seeming to find the use of the gem to enhance one's power distasteful. He is initially ruthless in dealing with Inuyasha, whom he hates as a half-demon who consorts with humans, and attempts to steal the sword Tetsusaiga from him. He even had a sword forged from the fangs of Goshinki, an incarnation of Naraku, that sliced the Tetsusaiga into two, knowing that this will match the Tetsusaiga's power. This sword's name is Tokijin, which later gets destroyed by Moryomaru. However, Sesshomaru gradually becomes more sympathetic and caring after meeting the human child Rin, even going as far as using Tenseiga to revive her. His growing compassion and the reaction of the Tenseiga to Sesshomaru's compassion for Kagura and her slow death prompts the master swordsmith Totosai to reforge Tenseiga, enabling the Meidou Zangetsuha ("dark path of the dawn's moon blast") attack. After Naraku attempts to manipulate him by using Rin as a hostage, Sesshomaru becomes determined to destroy Naraku. He eventually gains his own blade that is a manifestation of his own power, the Bakusaiga. In the anime adaptation, he is voiced by Ken Narita. In the English dub, he is voiced by David Kaye and by Michael Daingerfield in the Final Act.

At the end of the manga, Sesshomaru had Rin to stay with Kaede in The Village. Sesshomaru continued to visit her in a regular basis. At the end, Jaken, continues to travel with him.
