About me
I am a lifetime InuYasha fan. I wasn't born that way, but it sure seems that way for as much of my life he occupies now.

I am probably one of the few people you will ever hear of that has actually studied the manga and anime of InuYasha, line by line, panel by panel, frame by frame and from one language to another in painstaking foonote/annotated detail. I've scoured history books and references looking for the cultural roots of the InuYasha story, and I bring something to the table that very few other fans do: a strong background in editing, and in documentation and verification of data.

As an InuYasha fan, that means that I rely ENTIRELY and EXCLUSIVELY on those sources of data that can be verified.

Unfortunately, the "fanbooks" and "character" guide books that are available are NOT a reliable resource, and I will debunk or remove data based only on them. Why? Because Takahashi Rumiko did not write them. Neither did Sunrise. In all cases, the character books are made by Shonen Sunday and by Viz who are third party vendors who are third party vendors. Those books have been written entirely by people who are in business to make money off the series and they were not involved in actually creating the series. In large part, they are simply making stuff up to fill the pages and sell books, not to really tell us, the paying fans what we really want to know.

But even ignoring those character profile books, there is a HUGE amount of information to be had, and I've spent 6 years and hundreds of pages of notes looking for it.

Therefore, if I edit a page, it's because I'm able to back up what I say with references and if necessary, line by line quotes. I'm also not a kid. I'm an adult who loves InuYasha enough to see a Wiki done right and I'm willing to do the work to get there.
