Kin'u

is Miroku and Sango's daughter, Gyokuto's elder identical twin sister, and the eldest of their three children. She was the only one who followed in her father's footsteps in cultivating her inherent spiritual/Buddhist powers to become an 'Ama' (尼, a Buddhist nun).

History
Kin'u, alongside Gyokuto, were born in a house at Kaede's village.

Not much is known about Kin'u’s childhood/teenage years because the anime only shows her briefly as a child alongside Gyokuto when Rin is giving birth to Towa and Setsuna on the night of the lunar eclipse.

Years later, Kin'u (now a young adult) have followed her father's footsteps and became a nun distributing spiritual abilities via sacred sutras. Her golden spiritual-infused staff has not been seen.

Personality
Kin'u treated Inuyasha just like Kagome did when she first met him, calling him "Doggy" and petting his ears. As usual, Inuyasha was annoyed by this as he did not like his ears being touched by anyone. Kin'u acted like most toddlers would, seeing as how she was curious and still so young.

As a young adult, Kin'u, seems to not take things seriously and openly makes fun of her father when he comes up with new ways to train. Kin'u also reacts defensively when Hisui insinuates that she isn't a brave older sister like Towa. Kin'u is more outgoing, playful, cheerful and childlike. Also, along with Gyokuto, Kin'u enjoy playing with Shippō in a way that is not enjoyable to him since she was a toddler.

Physical description
Kin'u bare a striking resemblance to her mother and her younger twin sister as she have dark brown hair with short bangs, and bright brown eyes. She wears a light green kimono with green bows and a rose-colored sash, and her hair is tied up into a small ponytail by a white ribbon.

As a young adult, Kin'u wears a nun's attire with a saffron sash, a black robe, brown woven sandals and a necklace of fuchsia beads. She wears her short hair down in a bob cut.

Powers and abilities
Kin'u becomes a nun (female version of a monk) and has her own spiritual powers that she yet to display and develop fully.
