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 twin older sister. She was somehow transported to the modern era through the power of a Tree of Ages when she was just 4-year-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 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 it in.

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

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. Coinidentally, both Towas have a twin sister.
