Nazuna (なずな, "Shepherd's Purse") was a young orphan girl who met Inuyasha and Kagome on their search for shards of the Shikon no Tama.
History
Nazuna, as she appears in the manga.
Nazuna was introduced being chased by demons, causing her to fall from a high cliff. Nazuna was saved by Inuyasha and was very grateful until she realized he was a half-demon. She headed back to the temple she called home, where she was cared for by a monk, the "Master", after her parents were killed. Spider demons (kumogashira) had decimated many villages, and her parents were just another unfortunate victim of their attacks.
Nazuna and her Master (in his human form).
It was later revealed that the monk was, in fact, a spider demon in disguise, and that he was responsible for the death of Nizuna's parents. Inuyasha arrived in time to save her life, and Nazuna learned that not all demons are bad.
Trivia
- Nazuna's seiyū, Fumiko Orikasa, also voiced three other characters in the anime series InuYasha: Enju, Sara Asano and Hitomiko.
