Miroku is a lecherous monk. He asks every pretty woman he meets if she'll bear his child.
Though this sounds quite ridiculous, Miroku has a good reason to ask. He, his grandfather, and his father were cursed by Naraku
with what is called a kazaana [Wind Tunnel]. It's basically a black hole in the palm of his right
hand, and he must use a monk's seal to keep it from sucking in everything around him. The bad part of this curse is that the
Wind Tunnel will eventually suck him in as well, just as it did to his father and grandfather. Thus, Miroku has to continue
his family's line so that if he fails to kill Naraku, thus lifting the curse, his son will have to take on the job. He meets
up with Kagome and Inuyasha early on in the series. Finding that he and Inuyasha have the same purpose (finding
the Shikon shards and killing Naraku), he helps as best he can whenever they fight Naraku's evil forces.
Name: Sango

Occupation: youkia taijiya ( demon exterminator)

Sango, her brother Kohaku, and their father
(the village leader), all lived in a village of demon exterminators. It was their trade, and they were good at their jobs.
However, the first night that Kohaku went to fight demons with his older sister, father, and other exterminators, they ran
into Naraku. Naraku used a spider demon to control Kohaku, and made him kill his and
Sango's father and the other exterminators. He almost killed Sango, and ended up dying when the people who hired them shot
Kohaku after his crazed attack of his family and friends. They also shot Sango full of arrows, thinking that she had gone
insane as well. That night, everyone in her village was killed by a huge swarm of demons, all controlled by Naraku. Obviously,
poor Sango was mentally scarred for life. Though she thought Kohaku had died, Naraku used a Shikon shard to keep her brother
alive in order to use him not only as a mindless drone, but also as a means to manipulate the Yasha gang since Kohaku is important
to one of its members.
