History
When Inuyasha and the others were searching for Kirara through the forest, Inuyasha tried to find her with his nose, but was unsuccessful in locating her. They resign themselves to the disappearance of Kirara when they felt a rumble coming from the forest. The yōkai was pursing a human traveler and was prepared to eat him when Inuyasha arrived in time under the impression that he would find Kirara. He attacked Inuyasha from the tree he was perched on, but Inuyasha was able to dodge it, landing in front of the traveler and telling him tor run away. He attacked Inuyasha again for letting the human escape him, but Inuyasha dodged it again asKagome and the others arrived. They asked Inuyasha where Kirara was, but she was not there, then soon noticed a scarf that Kirara had been wearing was on the ground near the yōkai. They then saw the bones of a yōkai near the ape, and believed that the ape ate Kirara. They asked the yōkai if he had eaten Kirara, but he claimed that he did not remember those he had eaten. He promised that they would join their friend after he had eaten them then launched its fur at them like a bunch of needles, but they dodged it. The yōkai was able to dodge all their attacks by evading them through the tree tops and Sango became furious, throwing her Hiraikotsu at the yōkai and bouncing him from the branches. As it fell the yōkai told her that it would not be enough to kill him and the Hiraikotsu returned and hit him, destroying him completely.
