Shako

Shako is the demon slayer who sent the Shikon Jewel to Kikyo 50 years ago after Lady Centipede almost killed him. He was one who put the Centipede in the well that Kagome is pulled into 550 years later by the demon. He is the grandfather of Sango and Kohaku and father of the Village chieftan. He, like his granddaughter, had Hiraikotsu and Kirara as his partner.
