Koga (InuYasha)

Kōga (鋼牙)

Kōga is a wolf yōkai, and he is the leader of his tribe. After Kagura killed off members of his tribe, Kōga began a quest to kill her and Naraku, who ordered it. When adventuring, he is accompanied by two lieutenants from his tribe. In the manga, they are unnamed. In the anime, they are named Ginta and Hakkaku.

InuYasha and he hold a rivalry over Kagome Higurashi's affection. Kōga has been in love with her ever since he found out that she can see the shards of the Shikon no Tama. In the anime series, he is also betrothed to Ayame, of the northern wolf tribes (a character that does not exist in the manga version).
