Myōga

A flea demon. From his deference, mannerism and the fact that he refers to InuYasha as "Lord Inuyasha" or "My Lord", he clearly considers himself to be a retainer to InuYasha. However, while he is supposed to be Inuyasha's retainer, he is usually away for long periods elsewhere, and runs away in fear at any fights that the group gets into.

Myoga was the caretaker of the "false grave" of Inuyasha's father, and once Sesshomaru discovered the location of this sham, Myoga immediately set out to find and warn Inuyasha.

Myoga is often referred to as "Old Myoga", and seems to be well informed as to current events and historic events that occurred long before InuYasha was born. That and the conversations between Myoga and Totosai lead us to believe that these two were well-trusted retainers of InuYasha and Seshomarou's father.

Myoga always appears wearing a short kimono jacket and hakama, in a style often referred to as "traveling clothes". It is amusing to see a kimono with four arms.
