Miroku's father

Little is known of Miroku's father other than he, like his son, was a monk who inherited the wind tunnel curse from his father Miyatsu. When Miroku was still a young boy his father was killed after being sucked into his own wind tunnel, leaving his son in the care of his close friend, the lecherous monk Mushin. In an illusion cast by Naraku, Sango and Miroku were taken back to this same moment in Miroku's childhood to witness the death of his father. This event would ultimately plant the seeds of fear in Sango who came to believe that her love, Miroku, would suffer this same fate. Details on Miroku's mother is unknown.
