This kid's different from Naraku... he doesn't mind getting his hands dirty.
~ Kagura about Hakudōshi.
I am not like Kagura! I'm not Naraku's tool! I am my own master!
~ Hakudōshi's view of Kagura.
I am... HIS ESSENCE!!!
~ Hakudōshi's last words before being sucked into Miroku's wind tunnel.

Hakudōshi is a major antagonist in the manga/anime series Inuyasha. He is the eighth incarnation of Naraku and is one of the most sadistic and cruel incarnations Naraku has ever had.

Hakudōshi was originally a part of the Infant, the seventh incarnation of Naraku, but was later created by a powerful priest. Ever since his birth, Hakudōshi began following his master's orders, while secretly plotting to betray and kill him, alongside the Infant.

He was voiced by Ai Kobayashi in Japanese and Chiara Zanni in English, both voice The Infant in the same series.

Personality[]

Inuyasha: Do you have any idea how many villages were devoured by your demon rats just to bring Kikyō out of hiding?!
Hakudōshi: Come now... Is that really what's upsetting you?
~ Hakudōshi bragging about his crimes to Inuyasha.

Hakudōshi is almost as sadistic and cruel as Naraku himself, taking delight in going the extra mile with his tasks, such as unleashing a horde of demon rats onto a region in order to lure out Kikyō. He also seems to have more authority than the other incarnations, and enjoys bossing people around, especially Kagura, who he regularly abuses. Unlike Naraku, Hakudōshi was fearless and didn't mind getting his hands dirty himself, and wasn't quick to run away from battle, only if his life is in grave danger.

Biography[]

Hakudōshi's first deed was becoming the master of the demon horse Entei. In the manga, Entei followed Kagura and chose Hakudōshi as his master. In the anime, Hakudōshi kills Entei's previous master, Rengokuki, impressing the demon horse. He serves as Hakudōshi's main mode of transportation until he is killed by Inuyasha.

Hakudōshi also willingly told Inuyasha and his group that he was searching for the Border to the Afterlife, the location of the final jewel shard, and told Kagura that there was no point keeping it a secret. He eventually began severing the heads of demons instead of monks in order to learn about the border, and eventually learns that it is located at the gravesite of Inuyasha's father.

He sends Kagura to "test" the gate guarded by Gozu and Mezu, resulting in her nearly being turned to stone. She returned and attempted to kill Hakudōshi, only to have her heart squeezed by Naraku. He later helped Princess Abi collect blood to heal her mother, while would eventually provide an alternate route to the Border of the Afterlife.

Naraku eventually devised a plan to lure Kikyō out with an endless swarm of rat demons. Hakudōshi and Kohaku slew the demon commanding them, Zushinezumi, and unleashed the horde on the region, commanding Kohaku to leave the doors to to the shrine that was producing the rat demons open. Kikyō eventually solved the rat problem by planting a magical tree to lure the rats toward it and purify them.

Inuyasha and his group discovered many demon corpses, which had apparently been slain for their haku, the part of the soul that allowed movement. It was eventually revealed that the stolen haku was being used by Hakudōshi to create a demonic construct, named Mōryōmaru. Soon after Naraku discovered that his enemies knew that the Infant was his heart, he stole the Fuyōheki to conceal the Infant's demonic aura, and hid him inside Mōryōmaru.

Eventually, Hakudōshi and the Infant used this to their advantage, devising a plan of their own to betray Naraku. Hakudōshi told Kagura to release Goryōmaru, a demon-slaying monk whom she had presumed was dead. It was revealed that the stolen haku was being stored in Goryōmaru's arm, which served as a blasting cannon of sorts, and that he and Mōryōmaru were one and the same. Hakudōshi and the Infant began to hunt Kohaku for his jewel shard. Kagura decided to protect Kohaku, and told Inuyasha's group about Hakudōshi's plans. He attacked Kagura in a fit of rage following her betrayal, saying that even Naraku couldn't kill him, prompting his progenitor to abandon him and allow him to be killed by Miroku's Wind Tunnel.

Powers and Abilities[]

  • Regeneration: Can heal wounds just like Naraku.
  • Barrier: Is able to create a barrier similar to Naraku's.
  • Flight: Despite using Entei as his mode of transportation for a time, Hakudōshi is able to float without aid.

Weapons[]
