Kawaramaru

Kawaramaru is the name of a man who was resurrected in the same fashion as Kikyo by the demon sorceress Urasue.

Background
Just like his "sister" Enju, Kawaramaru was brought back from the dead so he could serve Urasue, whom they both called "Mother" (in Japanese, they used the term "haha" (母), which is used for "birth mother"). As with all her "children", Urasue brought him back solely to take advantage of skills he bore in life.

Before he was betrayed by a subordinate and killed, Kawaramaru was a skilled warrior and masterful commanding officer. Urasue hoped to use his talents to lead a vast army of mindless clay soldiers that did not eat or drink or die. She endowed him with the ability to command the puppet soldiers so that he could use them to conquer all of feudal Japan and secure power for herself.

After Kikyo destroyed Urasue, Kawaramaru still held to her ambitions of war and power, and set out to seize her dream for himself. Despite her protests, he forced his sister Enju to continue building Urasue's mighty host and used them mercilessly to conquer castle after castle.

When Inuyasha's group confronted Kawaramaru, Kagome helped Enju to stand up to her brother and tell him that, as dead people, they belonged dead, and had no right to take the world from the living. Kawaramaru fiercely denied such a fate, vehemently believing that they weren't brought back on the whim of a witch, but because it was truly their destiny to rule the world as the living dead.

After refusing to stand down, Kawaramaru summoned Urasue's most powerful puppet soldier, a demon from hell, and commanded it to attack the group. Inuyasha promptly destroyed them both using a single blast of the Kaze no Kizu. A sorrowful Enju later placed a fragment of his armor in the river to commemorate him.
