Kagome

Kagome Higurashi
English voice:Moneca Stori
Japanese voice:Satsuki Yukino

Kagome comes from modern day Japan, where she lives in the Higurashi shrine with her mother, younger brother Sota, grandfather Jii-chan, and cat Buyo. She is about 15 years old at the start of the series.

Kagome is the re-incarnation of Kikyo, and has the same powers that she does, although she slowly had to learn to use them. She, like Kikyo, is skilled with her bow and is able to create purifying arrows which destroy demons. She is also skilled in healing, primarily because of the medicines she brings with her to the past.

Kagome is a teenage girl in modern day Japan who one day discovers a mystical well. Being the reincarnation of Kikyo, inside of her is the Shikon Jewel, which attracts a demon trapped in the well who pulls her through to the other side into feudal Japan where she meets up with Inuyasha. She finds Inuyasha bound to the tree by Kikyo's magic, and frees him so he will help her escape the demon who is after her. She eventually learns the truth about Kikyo and the events that have taken place, mainly from Kagome (Kikyo's younger sister - who is now much older after the 50 years Inuyasha was bound). She has more control over Inuyasha than anyone else, since he develops feelings for her, and since Kaede put a magical necklace around Inuyasha's neck, forcing him to fall to the ground when Kagome says 'sit'!

Occasionally she goes back to her time to take tests, and to be with her family. Her good friends at school are Eri, Ayumi, and Yuka, who are always concerned about her, since her grandfather makes up all sorts of crazy excuses for why she is not often in class. She has even told the girls a bit about Inuyasha, but they think she would be better off with Hojo - a boy from their school.
