Towa Higurashi

is the main character in the anime series Hanyō no Yashahime.

History
Towa Higurashi is a half-demon who lives in the. She is Sesshōmaru's first daughter and Setsuna's older twin sister. She was somehow transported to the modern era through the power of a Tree of Ages in the Bone-Eater's Well when she was just 4 years old.

She received shelter from her uncle's in-laws, the Higurashi family, and was subsequently raised by her half-uncle-in-law, Sōta Higurashi.

She is reunited with her sister Setsuna after spending ten years in modern times.

Personality
She has a rowdy personality and gets in fights at school, even going so far as to wear men's clothing because it is easier to fight in them.

Unlike her aunt Kagome, Towa is aware of the danger having future knowledge in the past could bring. Hence she recovers the bike seat from Kagome's long-lost bike.

Physical Description
Towa has her father's white hair with a hint of red, and red eyes. She bears the silver Rainbow Pearl in her left eye. She wears a male school uniform consisting of a white suit with dark accents, a light grey dress shirt and a red ribbon. She wears a brown belt on her pants and brown shoes. She prefers wearing these clothes as she finds it easier to fight in them.

Trivia

 * While it is known that her father is Sesshōmaru, her mother's identity is so far unknown.
 * Unlike most other hanyō, including her paternal uncle Inuyasha, Towa does not have any visible physical indicia of being a half-demon, such as dog ears.
 * Towa's name, like that of her sister Setsuna, is homophonous with a time word, "eternity". This is likely an allusion to the fact that both sisters travel through time.
 * Despite being an Inu-hanyō like her uncle Inuyasha, she and Setsuna seem to age at the same rate as humans.
 * Towa is also the name of character from Rumiko Takahashi's earlier manga, Mermaid Saga. Coincidentally, both Towas have a twin sister.
 * She looks physically similar to Tsubasa Jūmonji from Kyōkai no Rinne, and the name of her weapon, Kikujūmonji (掬十文字) contains the same Kanjis of his last name (十文字).
 * Towa seems to have either read or watched time travel stories in the present, given her reaction to future knowledge being in the past.
