WINERS OF FIND LITTLE NEKO GIRL:
1.chibibaka-chan

Jaken is the a Kappa demon who is the senior member of Sesshomaru's retinue. Wielding the Staff of Heads (人頭杖, nintojo) and dressed like a member of the Japanese Imperial Court, Jaken puts all his effort into being the indespensible right hand of Sesshomaru. Roughly the equivalent of Myoga in Sesshomaru's retinue, Jaken wears many, many hats in the show. Aside from aspiring to be a good servant, Jaken fills the roles of caretaker to Rin, comic relief, and most importantly a source of information for viewers. Coming up waist high to a little girl and having a head the looks like an odd cross between a frog and a turtle, Jaken is quite a character.
Jaken's first appearance in Inuyasha paints him to be a formidable character when he burns an army to nothingness with the Staff of Heads, but that was really pretty much it for him. Once the story arc of finding Inutaiso!!!!!! Tomb, Jaken became what he is now - comic relief and an exposition device.

Despite being an excellent servant, though a somewhat whiney one, Jaken never receives a kind word, and in fact usually seems to end up trampled, threatened, or simply being used a guinea pig. Regardless of what he is asked to do, no matter how dangerous or seemingly pointless, Jaken does it. Not only will he do things he's told, he will often try to anticipate tasks and perform them so that Sesshomaru doesn't have to waste time concerning himself. Unfortunately, things don't always work out in Jaken's favor.

One of the duties that Jaken seems to truly resent is taking care of Rin. In fact, he seems to resent the fact that she accompanies them at all. Regardless, when she's hungry, it's his job to help her find food, and when they're left behind while Sesshomaru goes to take care of business, it's his job to make sure she stays safe. For Rin's part, aside from occasionally picking on Jaken, she's fond of him and has even saved his life at peril to herself. As time and the manga wear on, Jaken seems to be coming around and is becoming fond of her as well.

Rin is a human girl of about 8 years of age who was brought back to life by Sesshoumaru and is part of his traveling retinue. She has shoulder length black hair that she wears down, except for a little spot she wears up in a little pig tail of the top right side of her head. Her original, pre-death appearance was fairly shabby, which is not too surprising all things considered. She wore soiled and worn peasant tunic. After her resurrection and subsequent joining of Sesshoumaru’s retinue, she now wears an orange and tan checkered kimono tied with a lime green obi. Pretty much, she looks exactly like what she is, a young, overly-cheerful human girl.
Despite being a lowly human and hardly receiving any encouragement from Sesshoumaru, Rin is every bit as devoted and loyal to him as Jaken. Perhaps even more so since she seems to realize that being mortal, she will probably never live to see Sesshoumaru rule over the empire he plans to build. That doesn’t seem to bother her though, being eternally cheerful, she simply smiles and does what Sesshoumaru tells her to. Which to his credit, is usually stay put under the care of Ah-Un when things are going to get dangerous. Even still, Rin’s primary role seems to be someone to capture, causing Sesshoumaru to come to her rescue. She also occasionally serves to demonstrate the evolving sense of compassion and affection that Sesshoumaru has developed for her, no matter how well he conceals it.

As much as Rin seems oddly out of place in Sesshoumaru’s retinue, I consider her to be its most important member. Through her influence and involvement, I think Sesshoumaru has gained a considerable amount of compassion and understanding. Taking her on has given him something to protect and care for, and a human girl at that. Contrasting Sesshoumaru’s opinions in his early appearances of the storyline with his attitudes towards Rin as the story progresses it’s hard to deny that his involvement with her hasn’t had a beneficial effect in his gaining mastery over Tenseiga

Hojo is a schoolmate of Kagome's from B class who has a crush on her and is the descendant of another character from the Inuyasha series, Hojo Akitoki.Apparently he's either cute, fairly popular, or both since Kagome's friends keep trying to get them together. I don't really know though, because I'm all man. I dig chicks and chicks dig me. So anyway, lets go with a combination of cute and popular.
Hojo is a nice guy. He apparently believes every lame excuse Grandpa Higurashi comes up with for Kagome missing school. To try and help her health improve, he's constantly bringing Kagome theraputic devices or remedies from his family's store. He has ulterior motives of course; he's got a giant crush on Kagome and is trying to get a date with her.

He does eventually get his date with Kagome while she's mad at Inuyasha, but she's so concerned about Inuyasha she winds up leaving the date early. That would have been the end of it for me, but he's vowed not to give up on her. Probably because he doesn't know about Inuyasha.

Hojo is another one of those Inuyasha characters we see frequently, but never really learn much about. We never even learn what his given name is since he's always referred to by his family name. He mostly repeats his role of bringing Kagome gifts and trying to get a date with her.

Myoga is a flea demon, Inuyasha's retainer, and the former guardian of Inuyasha's father's tomb. Four armed and the size of a regular flea, Myoga spends a considerable amount of his time being crushed or swatted. He resembles a bald old man with round eyes and droopy mustache, but with a carrot-like feeding tube instead of a mouth.
Being a flea demon, Myoga loves the taste of blood. In fact, most of his appearances start off with him sucking on Inuyasha until he's swatted off. Despite constant swatting, crushing, and flattening he appears to be indestructible to permanent physical harm. Despite being smushed paper thin, he's always back to normal after a few seconds.

That doesn't stop him from disappearing whenever there's trouble though. The minute there's even a hint of danger, Myoga either heads for the hills or gets behind whoever's the strongest fighter. Really though, his cowardice shouldn't surprise anyone. He's the size of a flea and he has no method to attack or defend. Why would he want to fight? His strength isn't fighting; it's information

Myoga knows everything, or at least seems too. Aside from being able to identify demons from the smallest clues and an extensive knowledge of lore, he seems to know everything that's going on in the Sengoku period. I guess he has some sort of information network with normal fleas who report to him. It's never really addressed that I'm aware of, but it would make sense.

The only other ability Myoga seems to have is that he can filter poisons and even harmful magic out of people by sucking their blood.

Kaede is Kikyo's little sister and the Sengoku period's villiage priestess.
After her sister's death, she assumed the position of shrine maiden/village priestess and took over the responsibility of leadership and protecting the village from demons. She seems to serve as the Sengoku period's version of Grandpa Higurashi, except considerably more competent and serious. She is a font of knowledge and lore, and her powers actually work. One of the first examples is in the second episode when she summons the Kotodama no Nenju (Spirit Command Rosary) around Inuyasha's neck to get him under control. Later in the series she creates a barrier of invisibility along with Miroku in order to give Inuyasha time to rest and heal.

Kaede is originally introduced to us in the first episode/act as a small girl rushing to aid Kikyo, wearing a bandage over her right eye. Although it's not explained at that point, her eye was damaged during Inuyasha's rampage through the village. Just before her death, Kikyo tells Kaede to burn the Shikon jewel along with her body to keep it from falling into evil hands.

The next time we see Kaede is in the village after Kagome is captured at the Sacred Tree. Fifty years have passed and she's now an old woman. She originally believes Kagome is another demon and throws some sort of exorcising powder on her, but soon realizes that Kagome is fact a reincarnation of her older sister Kikyo.
