Amari Nobunaga

Amari Nobunaga (甘利信長，あまりのぶなが) is a member of the Takeda clan, and is also an idiot who seems to have a lot of trouble with cliffs. He has a pet monkey, which he calls "Hiyoshimaru". He was first introduced as a hungry person, looking for food in Kagome's bagpack. He is madly in love with Princess Tsuyu, who has newly married into another clan.

Everytime he walked in a certain direction by himself, Inuyasha tells him, "I think I wouldn't go that way if I were you", and Nobunaga would always fall off a cliff.

He helped Kagome and Inuyasha fight against Tsukumo no Gama, "the immortal frog".

At the end of episode 8, he refers to himself as the world's biggest idiot and fool.

He didn't join the group with Inuyasha and Kagome.

His character is also more like of Hojo: oblivious, happy, caring and sometimes a little naive.

NOTES:
On the DVD subtitle for episode 8: "The Toad Who Would Be Prince", Nobunaga is spelled "Omari Nobunaga"
