Hello, I'm Shippo. Welcome to my cozy den. The picture to the left is of me. I am the kitsune from the Sengoku Jidai (Feudal Japan Era). It is the Age of the Warring Provinces, a long troubled period in Japanese history, starting with the Ônin War (1467-1477) and ending with the final victory of the Tokugawa on the Toyotomi clan (1584?). Anyway, I lost his family to demons as the Thunder Brothers killed my father. When I first met up with Inu Yasha and Kagome, I transformed into a giant pink ball and threatened to kill Inuyasha (apparently by biting his head off) if he didn't hand over the jewel shards. I wanted the shards so that I could become stronger and kill the Thunder Brothers to avenge my father's death. Kistune like me can shape-shift and they like to sometimes play tricks, and I'm no exception. I can transform into almost any form I wish, although sometimes they are messed up and incomplete. I turned himself into Kagome one time, but I still had the tail. The same thing happened when I tried to turn into Koga. I looked exactly like the wolf-youkai, but instead of the long wolf tail, I had the fluffy fox tail. I've turned into the giant pink ball and also into a bow (like bow & arrows), rat, and other people. I can also create toys, like they top that expands and is used as a distraction. And I can split myself into copies of myself to help confuse the enemy even more. This illusion can also send out help signals. When Kagome and I were kidnapped by Koga, I left a trail of mushrooms that cry which let the Inu Yasha group to me and Kagome. Fox Fire (Kitsune Bi) is another of my attacks, it's a blue fire, but it doesn't do much since I'm so young. The first episode where I was met, I used a statue with a scroll on it to keep Inu Yasha from following me. After Inu Yasha saved me and killed the Thunder Brothers, I decided to stay with them because I have no parents anyway. Kagome treats me very kindly and I started to look up to her like a mother-figure, while Inu Yasha is just completely annoyed with me. Here is a list of my attacks, they're listed below.

These are some cartoon and anime images of me, listed below.


Since Erik Mouse provided this webspace to me and is a fan of mine, he went to take the Inu Yasha Quiz to find out what character he is most like. The result was most surprising, as it turned out that he is very much like me, and listed below is that result.
