The was Tarōmaru's father and the leader of the village. He hid his own son and replaced him his servant's son as the child sacrifice for the fake Water God. After Inuyasha and his friends defeated the fake Water God, Miroku blackmailed the headman by saying he would reveal to the village that he would sacrifice another child instead of his own under the pretence of telling the village how bravely his son acted against the fake Water God. So the headman provided Miroku with many lavish gifts as payment.
