Jakotsu

Jakotsu is the third in command (Attack Commander) of the Band of Seven but the second strongest and is depicted as the most bold member. Jakostu personality is almost childishly comical and laid back. Jakotsu is one of the possibly two gay characters to ever appear in InuYasha (anime). He has a feminine look and sound to him and may at first be confused with a woman, but as the show moves on it is clear that Jakotsu is a gay man. He has a dislike for women and children and find no heartache in killing them. He will however flirt with any cute men before killing them. He has special disliking for the priestess Kikyo, claiming that he fears her more than Sesshomaru. He once said to Bankotsu (who feels that Jakotsu is the most loyal member and best friend), "I always kill the cute ones" when talking about obtaining new members to form the Band of Seven. Jakotsu is left to die after his battle with InuYasha but it is Renkotsu who takes his jewel shard meaning that Jakotsu died by Renkotsu's hand in the anime in episode 120 entitled "Fare Thee Well- Jakotsu's Requiem."

Name
Jakotsu means "Snake Bone."

Weapon
Jakotsu: Jakotsu (snake-bone-sword) is a snake like sword that can tracts and retracts similar to that of a snake's movement when going for a strike. The Jakotsutou is made up of at least 8 chain linked blades held together by pins which allows the word to have snake-like movement. The sword can wiped out a unit of soldiers and has great precision. Unfortunately it can (as Sesshomaru showed) be dodged and if not wield correctly may hit Jakotsu. Jakotsutou is also called the Sword of Jakotsu.
