 * -- Lady Kanade to Inuyasha

Lady Kanade is a currently deceased priestess who first appeared in the fourth Inuyasha movie. She was the priestess of Horai Island, a place where demons and humans lived in harmony, producing many half-demons as a result. However, given that other humans and demons would look down on such harmony, the residents of Horai Island cut off their ties to the outside world and the natural flow of time. However, every fifty years, the time barrier would weaken, and demons from the mainland would attack. Among the bloodthirsty horde, were the Four War Gods. Kanade fought during those battles and managed to seal the War Gods' powers in four sphere, before throwing herself into the Cauldron of Resonance, at the cost of her life. Unfortunately, the Four War Gods figured that by throwing half-demons into the cauldron, they could regain a small portion of their powers.

Fifty years later, she reappeared as a glowing green orb at the bottom of the Cauldron of Resonance when Inuyasha and Asagi was thrown into it. She gives Inuyasha her blessings and the little that remains of her lifeforce in order to allow him to escape the cauldron. In return, she asks him to save the children that are on the island. She also gives him the container holding the power of the Four War Gods.
