Kageroumaru

Kageroumaru
His name means "shadow man"
English voice:Brian Drummond

Kageroumaru and Juuroumaru are the fourth and fifth of Naraku's incarnations.

Kageroumaru lives inside of Juuroumaru and tells him what to do. Juuroumaru obeys only Kageroumaru, and not Naraku. Because Of their sheer power, Naraku does not take them back into his body.

Kageroumaru does the thinking of the duo, probably because Juuroumaru does not speak. Kageroumaru enjoys eating other people's insides. He wants to eat Kagome, but Inuyasha and Koga both fight them.

Kaede

Kaede
Her name means "maple"
English voice:Pam Hyatt
Japanese voice:Naoko Kyoda

Kaede is the younger sister of Kikyo, although she appears much older because Kikyo is undead and does not age.

She is a powerful priestess (though not as powerful as her older sister), and is quite knowledgeable about medicine and many other things. While she does not travel often with Inuyasha and the others, she does help them out when she is needed.

When Kikyo was dying, she wished to be burned with the Shikon Jewel so that she might prevent it from falling into the hands of evil. Fifty years has now passed, and Kaede is now the head of her village, and the first to realize the Kagome is the reincarnation of Kikyo. Soon after Inuyasha was free again, Kaede placed upon him a magical necklace. This was originally to prevent Inuyasha from trying to steal the Shikon Jewel from Kagome (who is the reincarnation of Kikyo). The necklace gives her the power to somewhat control Inuyasha. When she says the magic word 'sit' - Inuyasha instantly falls to the ground. She does this often.

Juuroumaru

Juuroumaru
voice unknown

Kageroumaru and Juuroumaru are the fourth and fifth of Naraku's incarnations.

Jurroumaru is incredibly strong, but he is so uncontrollable that Naraku keeps him masked and chained. Naraku releases Juuroumaru to attack Inuyasha and Koga, and he almost destroys them because they keep arguing, and the Tetsusaiga is quite heavy for Inuyasha at this time.

Jinenji

Jinenji
His name means "earth boy".
English voice:Michael Dobson
Japanese voice:Hisao Egawa

Jinenji is a huge half-demon who, with his mother, grow healing herbs. At first, they mistake his mother for a yamanba (mountain witch). The herbs they make were once used to save the life of Kirara, who was poisoned by Naraku.

Kagome and the others find him while passing through a village. Despite his monstrous looks, he is very mild and timid. He is accused of killing some of the villagers, but Inuyasha helps prove his innocense.

Later, Jinenji ends up killing another demon - the one who was responsible for the missing villagers.

Jakotsu

Jakotsu
English voice:Jen Forgie
Japanese voice:Ai Orikasa

Wielder of a sneaky retractable sword, named the "Jakotsutou", Jakotsu is one of the more skilled fighters of the Shichinintai. He seems to be the first of the Band of Seven to have come into contact with Bankotsu and was with him before the Shichinintai were born. Contrary to him being a male, his voice and dressing is very much like that of a female, although he has a deep hatred for women.

After Kohaku tells him about InuYasha, he desperately wants to meet and fight, but then decides that Inuyasha is very handsome. Upon meeting InuYasha and even Miroku, he is delighted in having opponents of such fine appearance. Jakotsu always looks for the opportunity to fight with InuYasha, and finally gets a chance inside Mount Hakurei when InuYasha is reverted to his human form by the holy barrier. After a lengthy fight Jakotsu loses to InuYasha, who spares his life. Jakotsu happily accepted his fate that he died fighting the battle he wanted and his Shikon Shard is taken by Renkotsu.
