Sango and Kohaku's father

was the chieftain of Yōkai taijiya village (The Demon Slayer village); he was Sango and Kohaku's father as well as the leader of a clan of demon slayers. The village slayed demons and placed the remains in a cave containing the crystallized remains of Midoriko – the creator of the Shikon no Tama. He and his clan were slain by Kohaku when he was possessed by Naraku at Hitomi Castle. His wife and mother of his children was never mentioned, and thus it is possible that she died when Kohaku was born.
