Kanta's father

Kanta's father is an otter demon whose head was cut off by Hakudōshi during the latter's search for the border between the land of the living and the Netherworld. As the spirit of his severed head travels through this region, he witnesses the grave of the Inu no Taishō. He is later revived, reluctantly, by Sesshōmaru, and recants his experience to Inuyasha and his friends, giving clues as to Hakudōshi's motives.
