Name: Naraku
Seiyuu: Hiroshi Yanaka (Japanese) and Paul Dobson (English)
Age: Around fifty becuase he was only 'born' a little bit before Inuyasha and Kikyou died.
Race: Hanyou (half demon).
History: Naraku originally was spawned from Onigumo, a human bandit who had fallen off a cliff, broken both legs and been burnt. Kikyou found him and tended him and he had base desires for her. But since he couldn't move from one spot he had hundreds of evil youkais consume him, and from that, Naraku was born.
Appearance: Naraku has the power to take any shape or form. That is what made it so hard for Miroku's family to find him. But, during the time when the Inuyasha-gang are looking for him, he takes the shape of a castle lord that he killed. So, that lord is how Naraku looks. He has a lot of long balck hair and is very bishounen. On his back he has a spider tatoo which is a mark of his human side and came from Onigumo it seems. When he goes out of the castle or sends a kugutsu (a puppet of him which he uses as a decoy) out he/it wears a white baboon pelt.
Weapon(s): Naraku doesn't really have a weapon like Inuyasha, and whenever he needs to fight he sends someone else or a fake of himself (called a kugutsu) to do the dirty work. But, sometimes he does fight and he uses an evil miasma that is poisonous.
Personality: Naraku is completly evil, dirty and manipulative. He is trying to collect all the Shikon shards and also kill the Inuyasha-gang. He always sets up cruel traps, like when he made Inuyasha and Kikyou hate each other. Also whenever there is dirty work to be done he sends somebody else to do it.
Romance: Onigumo's heart which still remains in Naraku is still in love with Kikyou, so he can't kill her with it in him, but his demon side hates her.
Special Quirks: Naraku is also collecting the Shikon shards and he has almost collected them all, which that makes him very powerful. He can use his power to make detachments from himself who all have the same spider tatoo on their backs.
My Opinion: I don't really like Naraku at all, but I guess that makes sense because he is after all, the villan of the story! He is an extremely good villan though.
