| | Inu-Yasha: A Feudal Fairy Tale |
 | | Written with the ideographic kanji characters for "night" and "witch," in Japanese, yasha is typically the word for a "demon" or "devil," while inu refers to a distinctly less ominous-sounding creature, Canis familiaris, as in the common, domesticated pet. |
 | | In fact, one of the reasons we decided to release the title as "Inu-Yasha" (rather than as, say, the more prosaic "Dog-Demon") is due to our intention to hew more closely to the cultural elements which give manga or Japanese comics their uniqueness. |
 | | He's Inu Yasha's brother, (technically he'd be his half-brother since they have different mothers) Unlike Inuyasha, he's a full-blooded youkai. |
