Sesshoumaru - Profile
Name: Sesshoumaru
Nicknames: Lord Sesshoumaru or Sesshoumaru-sama in Japanese. He is called this by Jaken and Rin because they both respect him. Fluffy is what his fans call him, as well as Fluffy-sama, but I call him Sesshoumaru. Youkai Prince, Demon Lord, Youkai of the West, Taiyoukai of the West, Western Land Lord and Ice lord as well are other nicknames what fans call him.
Name Meaning:
Destruction Man. (Stated in InuYasha character guide).
Voiced by:
Narita Ken(Japanese)
David Kaye(American)
Gender: Male of course. But, even if he were a female, I would still be a fan.
Age: 700 demon years; 19 human years. (This info is stated later in the manga.)
Birthplace: Western Lands.
Identity: Well, he's Inuyasha's older 'half' brother in the anime and manga. He's also a powerful youkai in the series as well and the Lord of the Western Lands. Also, as you can see on Inuyasha Shrines/Sites, they put Sesshoumaru in the 'bad' guy section because he and Inuyasha always fight when they see each other. I don't really see him as a villain though cause if he was, he would be in every other episode to try and kill his brother or something close. Makes you wonder...
Personality: At first glance to everyone he is a cold, calm, collected and arrogant youkai on the show, which is pretty fun to have if I may say so myself. He also cares about himself and only himself it seems as well and doesn't talk too much. If he does, than hes saying something arrogant to Inuyasha or to an enemy and its right at the point of what he is talking about. If you want to see what he says, go to Quote section of this site I have made.
Sesshoumaru also has a powerful aura which frightens other youkai and humans from him, which is good because he doesn't like to be annoyed very much. His respect goes to his father, who is deceased. He treats humans as 'dirt on his shoe', which by the way, he does wear. But somewhere along the episodes, he does care for one human and that is Rin a 6 or 7 year old human girl. I have a section on her as well but she is spoiler if you don't know about her already. And, a human boy has joined his party as well, Kohaku. He saved him from Byakuya. To have more depth with these two, please to go their pages that is to the navigation underneath Followers since it is a lot of events and...I don't want to type them out again.
Appearance: Okay, the one section of Sesshoumaru that everyone loves otherwise he wouldn't have his fans ^^ (Kidding XD). He looks human but he's not. Just like Inuyasha, he has silver white-ish-blueish hair but its knee length, and has gorgeous amber/honey/golden eyes. He has a navy crescent moon that points to the left and to the 'right' for us on his forehead. Has two crimson/magenta stripes on each of his cheeks and wrists and has red eye shadow above his eyes. He also have pointy, elfish ears and sharp, dead-like fingernails which are referred to 'claws' in fanfics and I call them that myself. His appears 'slim' and appears almost feminine looking as well, but he's obviously well toned/built underneath, which is shown on the episode called "Go Back to Your own time Kagome" when he takes of his top kimono a little bit and see his chest which will make any girl drool I bet (It made me but not hardcore).
He wears a fancy kimono as well and it's silk. As you see above this, he is wearing an almost completely white kimono with red hexagon shapes with white flowers in the center. He also has armor that covers up his mid section and has spikes that wraps around his left shoulder which keeps appearing when it is destroyed, so he must have a lot of those armors. Another thing that is in his appearance and that everyone wants to touch, is this fluffy white pelt. Some say it's his 'tail' or 'armpit air', but as you can see, it's neither of those. When he met Rin, the fluffy pelt was taken OFF of his right shoulder and layed on it, so it's not his tail. It's a youkino, which is fur for higher status people/demons. Rumiko said this in an interview, but, as others, and myself, we call the youkino a tail in our stories. Just to-oh I don't know-put more fun ;D
He can also transform into a giant white demon dog, which is his true form. His crescent moon is the same but the strips on his wrists are gone and the ones on his cheek connect around the mouth. His ears become floppy dog ears and his eyes are blood-shot red. You can see more info here of his true form.
