The INUYASHA animated TV anime series and feature films are based on characters originally developed by famed manga creator, Rumiko Takahashi, who won the prestigious Shogakukan Manga Award for Inuyasha in 2002. Distinguished by her wonderfully endearing characters, Takahashi’s work adeptly incorporated a wide variety of elements such as comedy, romance, fantasy, and martial arts.
