Miroku's father

was the son of Miyatsu and father of Miroku, the second monk in Miroku's line to inherit both a lecherous personality and the curse of the Wind Tunnel from his father.

History
When Miroku was still a young boy, his father told him that his grandfather Miyatsu battled Naraku as in disguised of a beautiful woman as he pierced his right hand as the abyssal hole that cursed him. Later, he witnessed his father being killed after being sucked into his own Wind Tunnel, leaving him in the care of his late father's close friend, the drunken monk Mushin. A grave was made for him outside of Mushin's temple in the crater where his Wind Tunnel consumed him.

During the story
In an illusion cast by Naraku during the final battle, Sango and Miroku were taken back to this same moment in Miroku's childhood to witness the death of his father. This event planted the fear in Sango that her love, Miroku, would suffer the same violent fate.

Personality
Like all males in his family, Miroku's father has lecherous habits.

Powers & Abilities

 * Immense Spiritual Power: TBA
 * Kazaana: The Wind Tunnel is a curse placed upon his father by Naraku that is passed down through the male line in his family. The curse pierced the palm of the monk and resulted in a hole or void into another dimension which sucks everything into it, creating a terrible sucking wind in the process. The Wind Tunnel also suppresses some of his Spiritual Powers, as it was his father's power that Naraku feared.

Weapons

 * Sacred sutra: TBA
 * Shakujō: In Japan, the Shakujō Staff is still used by monks, pilgrims, and practitioners of Shugendou (a school of Buddhism teaching spiritual practices in the mountains). A yamabushi or mountain priest may use it for magic or exorcism. In the Shingon and Tendai sects, the Shakujō is used as a ritual object in special ceremonies, much like the Tibetan Dorje.

Family
