->Voiced by: TakeshiKusao (JP), MattHill (EN), Gerardo García (LA SP), Giorgio Borghetti (IT)
----
* AffablyEvil: He's genuinely a BookDumb and somewhat laid back person, but he's also a trigger happy killer. Even then, he genuinely cares for his comrades and is so sportsman like in his craft that you can't help, but enjoy his killings.
* AntiVillain: He was a bloodthirsty fighter, but he truly cared for his teammates and mourned their deaths. [[spoiler: In fact, he snapped when Renkotsu killed Jakotsu, killing him in punishment for his treason]]
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: While punching Inu Yasha he points out that he was the leader precisely because he could fight all the other members to submission.

* FacialMarkings
* {{Genre Savvy}}: He correctly deduces the extent of [[TheStarscream Renkotsu]]'s treachery.

*** He can live that way because of Renkotsu’s genius skills in mechanics and metalwork.
* EvilRedhead: His hair is red. He is evil. Kind of self-explanatory.
* EvilLaugh
* {{Gonk}}: Even if you put aside all the numerous modifications, he's pretty much weird.
* [[spoiler: HeroicSacrifice: Manages one, despite his villainy. He blows himself up so that Renkotsu can escape from Koga, but only in the anime]].
* [[spoiler: HoistByHisOwnPetard: In the manga, he's blown to smithereens when Koga stuffed his cannon with a piece of metal plate.]]

----
* AmbiguouslyHuman: He claims to be a human, but is hard to swallow.
* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: Seriously, how could he be that large!!??
* TheBrute: Shares this with Ginkotsu, but focuses more on brute strength rather than offensive force
* EpicFlail: Anime only.
* GiantEqualsInvincible: Inverted, he's the largest of the seven, but also the weakest.
* IAmAHumanitarian: Goes around devouring humans and demons alike to replenish his strength. Oddly enough, the other undead mercenaries don't show such need.
* NeckSnap: Subverted in that isn't enough to stop him.
* OddNameOut: It's later stated that the seven mercenaries were decapitated, and their Shikon shards are hidden in their neck wounds, yet Kyokotsu's shard is located in his forehead.

Leader of the Band of Seven, a powerful group of [[PsychoForHire Psychos For Hire]] that roamed through Japan and was slaughtered ten years before the story sets. Naraku revives them with Shikon shards to have them as his bodyguards while his body evolves inside Mt. Hakurei.
->Voiced by: TakeshiKusao (JP), MattHill (EN), Gerardo García (LA SP), Giorgio Borghetti (IT)
----
* AffablyEvil: He's genuinely a BookDumb and somewhat laid back person, but he's also a trigger happy killer. Even then, he genuinely cares for his comrades and is so sportsman like in his craft that you can't help, but enjoy his killings.
* AntiVillain: He was a bloodthirsty fighter, but he truly cared for his teammates and mourned their deaths. [[spoiler: In fact, he snapped when Renkotsu killed Jakotsu, killing him in punishment for his treason]]
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: While punching Inu Yasha he points out that he was the leader precisely because he could fight all the other members to submission.
* BackFromTheDead
* BadAss: Especially in a world filled with divine powered priests and powerful demons, he manages to kick ass by just being ridiculously strong for his size
** BadassNormal->BadassAbnormal: He has incredible strenght. The abnormal part comes in the anime with his demon powered sword.
* {{BFS}}: Banryuu (“Barbarian Dragon”) his halberd (not [[IThoughtItMeant THAT kind]], stupid!) is even bigger even than Inuyasha's. And he can wield it single-handedly with such ease!
* BladeOnAStick: His "halberd" is somewhere between the genuine article and [[{{BFS}} a really big sword]].
* BloodKnight: And how.
* {{Book Dumb}}
* TheCaptain: He is the leader of the Band of Seven / Shichinin-tai.
* CoolSword: Like InuYasha, Bankotsu can use his sword to channel magical attacks, up to and including a lightning storm. (anime only)
* DiagonalCut: [[spoiler: In the Manga, Inu Yasha [[CombatPragmatist feints a Wind Scar]] and then slash him across the chest. The anime apparently thought that it was anticlimatical, so...(see below)]]
* DumbMuscle: He may be as powerful as a hundred men, but is the same guy who can't write a proper letter.
* [[spoiler: EvenEvilHasStandards - EvenEvilhasLovedOnes: What sets him apart from Renkotsu? He won't betray his friends. Of course, Jakotsu did mean a lot to him.]]
* FacialMarkings
* {{Genre Savvy}}: He correctly deduces the extent of [[TheStarscream Renkotsu]]'s treachery.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: In the anime, he slays some demons, turning his Banryuu into a uber-powerful demonic weapon. Sadly, this also gives him a demonic aura, making him a perfect target for Inu Yasha's Bakuryuha attack.
* {{Malaproper}}: Hilariously done in his first scene
* TheNapoleon: A badass shorty.
* NobleDemon
* OffWithHisHead: his first death. He's pretty obsessed with it, too.
* PsychoForHire: "We'll become mercenaries and slaughter everybody!"
* RapunzelHair: Kept in a long braid
* RazorWind: Banryuu can cast very hot wind blasts at foes.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Unlike the other members, he's honestly and totally loyal to Bankotsu. In the anime, is shown that they were together even before forming the Band of Seven.
* [[spoiler: FaceDeathWithDignity]]
* FacialMarkings: He’s got facepaint AND actual women’s makeup!
* [[spoiler: GoOutWithASmile]]

* HiddenDepths: See PetTheDog
* InLoveWithYourCarnage

* SissyVillain
* TheUndead
* VillainousCrossdresser
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Was originally supposed to be female, but the author decided she didn't want Inu Yasha hitting a human female so she made him a VillainousCrossdresser instead.
* WhipSword: Rather than being a longsword with a segmented blade is a large scimitar with lots of identical, crescent-shaped blades connected by the tips.
* {{Yandere}} And holy shit, HOW.

----
* BackFromTheDead: Like the rest of the seven, [[spoiler: but only he is really obsessive over it, rather than being a chance to kill some more]]
* BaldOfEvil: Unlike Mukotsu who has a poor FreudianExcuse for his actions, he is power hungry and ambitous
* {{BFG}}: Wields a small cannon against Inu Yasha and Koga.
* DirtyCoward: Especially compared to his [[BloodKnight bloodthirsty]] companions, it's so obvious that Kagome immediately realizes his [[TakingYouWithMe attempt to bring everyone to "hell" with him]] is merely a bluff
* EvilGenius: He's technically the second in command and top strategist, but it's obvious that Jakotsu is the real right hand man of Bankotsu
* FacialMarkings: What’s with these guys and makeup?
* GadgeteerGenius: Managing to create a cyborg and a tank in Feudal Japan. By rebuilding Ginkotsu.
* GenreSavvy: See TheUndead below. He also distrusted Naraku and his word that he would let them take the shards if they helped him, which somewaht motivated to his later [[spoiler: betrayal.]]

* TheStrategist: He's the one who comes up with the plans for the group
* TakingYouWithMe: When Koga disarms him, he tries to blow everyone up with two sticks of gunpowder. Kagome actually calls him out on this one.
* TheUndead: Like the rest of the Seven, he smells like a corpse and dirt but [[spoiler: manages to hide this scent by hiding in an attacked temple around burnt bodies while pretending to be the only surviving monk that is burying the rest]]
