* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Looks like a teenager, but is at least 65 years old (pinned to a tree for fifty years, and was fifteen when pinned). Again, he's half-demon.
** The fact that the tree he was pinned to "transcends time" and so perfectly preserved his body while he was asleep due to being pinned probably contributed to his youthful looks.
*** Actully, if you take the what the third movie ''Swords of an Hounrable Ruler'' gave us, InuYasha is around 200 years old.
**** The movie is non canon though & shouldnt be taken into account

* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Looks like Inuyasha's exact age and whether or not the fifty years he spent asleep count toward it is the subject of considerable debate in the fandom, due to the fact that Takahashi prefers not to provide exact ages for youkai and hanyou characters. It is, however, established in the series that youkai live longer and age more slowly than humans, so while official materials only state that he's effectively a teenager, but is at least 65 years old (pinned to a tree for fifty years, and was fifteen when pinned). Again, he's half-demon.
** The fact
it's generally accepted that the tree he was pinned to "transcends time" and so perfectly preserved his body while he was asleep due to being pinned probably contributed to his youthful looks.
*** Actully, if you take the what the third movie
this trope is in effect. ''Swords of an Hounrable Honorable Ruler'' gave us, InuYasha sets his actual age at about two hundred and fifty (including the time spent in stasis) but is around 200 years old.
**** The movie is non canon though & shouldnt be taken into account
not considered canon.

* LauncherOfAThousandShips: Because she is the easiest character for a girl to relate to, she is paired up with tons of characters (whatever male character the author lusts after, usually Sesshomaru) while the author projects themselves onto her.

* LauncherOfAThousandShips: He is the most lusted-after male character, so girls usually pair him with a female character that they can relate to (usually Kagome) and project themselves onto the female as a sort of WishFulfillment fantasy of putting themselves with him.

** and vise-versa



* IJustWantToBeNormal: Before her death, she told Inuyasha more than once that she wanted to leave the Shinto cult and live as a normal girl.
** Well, she wanted to leave behind the duty of guarding the Shikon no Tama, which was pretty much a 24/7 job considering how much youkai were after it. I doubt she minded the regular miko aspects of her life.
