The Inuyasha manga and anime characters are created by Rumiko
Takahashi. Most of the series takes place in a fictional version of
Japan's Warring States period with occasional time-travel/flashback
elements to modern Tokyo or the Heisei period. The setting and plot
incorporate many elements of traditional Japanese folklore and
religion; its main characters (both protagonists and antagonists)
include a ShintÅ priestess, a Buddhist monk and several types of
yÅ kai, usually rendered as "demon" in English-language translations
of the series.After acquiring enough Shikon Jewel shards, Naraku
gained the ability to create new demons from his being that are
technically his "offspring". However, each is treated by Naraku as
expendable minions; tools to use as he wishes. He manipulated some of
his earliest creations through threatening to destroy their
disembodied hearts should they betray him. Eight detachments were
directly created by Naraku within the series' storyline.The Band of
Seven(七人隊, Shichinintai) were group of human mercenaries that
were killed a long time ago. They are resurrected undead manipulated
by Naraku through Shikon Jewel shards to hold off his enemies during
his time at Mount Hakurei.
