Gatenmaru

is moth demon and the leader of a group of human bandits (who are unaware that their leader is demon) who invaded a village where Inuyasha and Miroku tried save the lives of its people. Gatenmaru sets his eyes on Tessaiga while Inuyasha and Miroku are trapped by his cocoon for watching him suck some woman's blood from her body. The two eventually escape as Inuyasha becomes driven by his yokai blood and kills Gatenmaru in his demon form.

Gatenmaru had a brother named Garamaru who held a grudge against Inuyasha and the gang in episode 100, which ended up failing.
