What is a Fanlisting?
A fanlisting is simply a list of fans of a particular subject, such as a TV show, actor, or musician, that is created by an individual and open for fans from around the world to join. There are no costs, and the only requirements to join a fanlisting are your name and country. ~ TFL

Who are Izayoi and the Inu no Taisho?
Inu no Taishou (È®¤Î´ó½«, "Leader of the Dogs") was a great and powerful demon lord who ruled over the Western Lands of Japan while still alive. He is the father of both Sesshoumaru, whose mother was also a dog demon, and InuYasha, whose mother was a human woman. It has been revealed that Sesshoumaru's mother is still alive, and it remains uncertain as to whether or not his relationship with her had ended before InuYasha was born.

Inu no Taisho died centuries ago after he sustained grave injuries when in battle with his ruthless enemy Ry¨±kotsusei. Although suffereing from a deep gash in his side, Inu no Taisho is able to save Izayoi, who has just given birth to their son, after the building she was in is set aflame. Inu no Taisho dies inside the building after the roof collapses. It is unknown how he met Izayoi, but it can be deteremed that he did care for her, and in fact created the sword Tessaiga for her protection.


Izayoi (十六夜,"sixteenth night" [i.e., the full moon]) was said to be the daughter of a feudal lord and thus a human of noble status. She is depicted as a gentle woman, in perhaps her late teens or early twenties. She and Inu no Taisho fell in love, and soon they have a son, InuYasha. It is never specified how or when Izayoi died, although InuYasha states it was "a long time ago" and that it "wasn't her fault". It would appear that InuYasha was still young when she did pass.

Although it appears that Inu no Taisho's former mate is still alive, it is unknown as to what effect this had on Izayoi and Inu no Taishou's relationship. He appeared to care deeply for her, but their love was forbidden by both humans and other demons. Izayoi is given very little information in the series, and much about her is left to speculation.
