The short version is that Inuyasha is the story of the characters Inuyasha-a half demon, and Kagome-a school girl, and their quest to fill 150+ episodes with entertaining stuff to watch through a variety of plot devices. Okay, okay It's the story of Inuyasha, Kagome, and a gigantic cast of supporting characters and their quest to retrieve the pieces of the shattered Shikon Jewel and ultimately defeat the series' ubervillian Naraku. Short of writing a thousand-foot long summary, that's as indepth as I'll delve into the plot of Inuyasha here.

As for the main characters we have polar opposites - Inuyasha is a 17 year old half-demon. Born from a human mother and a demon-lord father, Inuyasha grew up shunned and excluded from both human and Demon society. Foul mouthed and quick to anger, Inuyasha calms down a bit over the course of the series - but never completely. Kagome is a 15 year old schoolgirl who's sucked back in time by a giant centipede so it could take the Shikon Jewel that resided inside her. Yeah, I know... Anyway, she's the reincarnation of the priestess Kikyo - Inuyasha's lost love. Compassionate and intelligent, she keeps Inuyasha in line when he acts up by using a spell that was put on him that puts Inuyasha on the ground whenever she tells him to "sit".

That doesn't do Inuyasha, either the show or the character justice, but it's about all I wanted to put up on the front page. For more info on Inuyasha you'll just have to poke around the site.
