- Kirinmaru

is a supporting character of Hanyō no Yashahime. He wields a mystical pinwheel that is linked with the ancient and infinitely powerful Windmill of Time itself and, as such, is coveted by Kirinmaru the Beast King of the East, to gain control of the Windmill of Time.

History
The demon spirit of space-time is a primary target of Kirinmaru's sinister ambition to bring forth an irreversible "Degenerate Age" by taking his strong mystical pinwheel and use it to force the ancient and supremely powerful Windmill of Time to move forward to affect the modern era directly and ultimately destroy it.

Sesshōmaru and Jaken were requested by Kirinmaru to locate him, but has been eluding them for fourteen long years.

He appeared to Towa as she was applying hand cream to herself, before Riku, and Rion arrives. He appeared before Setsuna as she was applying hand cream to herself. During a confrontation with Kirinmaru, Towa almost runs over the little spirit which confuses the Beast King of the East, Riku, and Rion as to what distracted her.

As Kirinmaru stands in front of the Windmill of Time near the palace of Sesshōmaru's mother's, he sees Akuru in attempts to capture him. Kirinmaru, still following Akuru down the hole of the clouds to surface. As Moroha and Takechiyo sits on the Bone-Eater's Well, while Moroha holds the Black Pearl thinking about to meet her parents, she saw Akuru the first time except for Takechiyo, until Kirinmaru arrives that he tells her she has a sight, before he takes it as he tells her to find and bring Akuru's pinwheel to him or she'll never see her parents again.

While Moroha fights with Kirinmaru to retrieve the Black Pearl, Moroha sees Akuru run off relentlessly pursued by Kirinmaru. While Moroha fights the Beast King head-on, he reappears nearby her which she notices.
