Profile

Izayoi is the mother of the title character Inuyasha.

Very little is known about Izayoi as she died before the events of the series takes place and because Inuyasha rarely speaks about her, most likely because he is still saddened by her death. At some point she met and fell in love with Inu no Taishou, who returned her affection. Although the two form a relationship it is never specifically stated if the two were married or officially mated. When Inu no Taishou died she was forced to raise their Hanyō son Inuyasha alone, with the regret that her son would be discriminated by both humans and yōkais alike for his hanyō heritage. She died when Inuyasha was a young child.
