Now, before you begin my Inuyasha story, for those of you unfamiliar with the anime I'll help you get to know the characters. (And how to pronounce their names! Bonus!) In order of appearance…
Inuyasha: ["In-oo-ya-sha."] .?o=149 (please message me and tell me if any of these links don't work!)
Miroku: ["Mi-ro-koo". The "ro" is pronounced as you do when saying "rope".].?o=41
Sango: ["San-go". The "a" sound is said as that of the "a" in "army".] .?o=74 (the big boomerang is Hiraikotsu)
.com/image/sango%20mask/VerdeAries/Inuyasha/inu24_?o=1 (with mask on)
Kagome: ["Ka-go-may". "Ka" as in "castle".] .com/image/kagome/Girltaker/Ref%20Pics/Kagome%?o=40 (the neko youkai (cat demons) are NOT Kirara)
Shippou: ["Ship-oh"] .?o=14
Kirara: ["Key-la-la."] .com/image/kirara/iam_?o=7 De-transformed: .com/image/kirara/samantha_?o=66
Naraku: ["Na-rah-coo." The "na" is pronounced as in "banana", and the "ra" is pretty much the same concept, only with an "r" in place of the "n".] .com/image/naraku/Michelintu/Naraku/NARAKU_hiere_a_?o=7
You should probably also get to know their attacks, also. In order of appearance once more…
Hiraikotsu ["He-ry-cots!" The "he" is as it looks; for instance, "He was a little tall." The "ry" is the same as "riled" or "Ryan".]: .?o=1
Tetsusaiga ["Tet-sy-ga!" The "sy" is the same as in "psychic" or "cycle". And the "ga" sounds like more of a "guh" instead of the strong "ah" sound. For instance; "gull".] – note, this is the name of Inuyasha's sword, not an attack on its own: .com/image/tetsusaiga/knite_Ashton_10_album/Anime_album/InuYasha%?o=3
Wind Tunnel – the cursed hole in the middle of Miroku's hand – again, it is the name of the object, not the attack on its own: .com/image/miroku%20wind%20tunnel/nalacouga/Inuyasha_Miroku_?o=8
I hope this helps anyone new to the show – and I hope it seems useful to anyone already with a little prior knowledge! :)
