Media appearances
A list of media the character has appeared in; this is only necessary if a character has appeared in more than one instance of a particular kind of media. For instance, if a character appears in a chapter of the manga and an episode of the anime, then they do not need a list of appearances, as this information can be found in the character's infobox. However, if they appear in several chapters and several episodes, then they will need a media appearances section. The list should be divided into 'manga' and 'anime' appearances. Movies can also be included in the anime list. Movies fall into the InuYasha chronology as follows: Episodes 1 - 54, Movie 1, Episodes 55 - 95, Movie 2, Episodes 96 - 136, Movie 3, Episodes 137 - 167, Movie 4, Final Act Episodes.
