Kirinmaru

"Ah, that's right... If Tōkotsu served under me, then he must have been a powerful warrior. Defeated by Sesshōmaru's daughters... I must hand it to them."

- Kirinmaru

is a great Daiyōkai that rules over the eastern lands, and the main antagonist of Hanyō no Yashahime. After the death of Tōga, the ruler of the west, as well as his son Sesshōmaru refusing to inherit his title, Kirinmaru plans to distort time and swallow the world into a degenerate age with the assistance of his most trusted and strongest servants, the Shikyō.

History
For an unknown reason, he teamed up with Sesshōmaru to fight Inuyasha and Kagome. The Goshinboku deems Kirinmaru a threat for wishing to warp time itself.

14 years later, he is visited by Kyūki, who informs him that one of the Shikyō, Tōkotsu, has been slain and the Rainbow Pearl entrusted to him stolen by Moroha.

Personality
Kirinmaru appears as a serious and detached individual, speaking the bare minimum. He seems to be distant to even his closest followers as he did not remember Tōkotsu who was one of his four central lieutenants, much less that he even gifted Tōkotsu the Red Rainbow Pearl in the first place. When learning of his demise, Kirinmaru reacted with apathy merely giving some praise to Sesshōmaru's daughters who terminated him as Kirinmaru reasoned that anybody serving under him must have been a powerful fighter.

Physical Description
Kirinmaru appears as an adult young humanoid man encased a purple suit of armor with red belt across his waist and a golden plate on his left shoulder. He wears light purple clothes underneath, a pair of darkened purple pants and black battle boots. He wears a pair of armored gauntlets with golden adornments and a dog shaped mask with several markings leaving only his left, green eye visible and a blue marking beneath. He has what appears to be bulbous long, red hair, although it is not fully clear if it is his own or part of the mask. Expectedly from a bestial Daiyōkai he has sharpened, blue nails.
