History
In the anime Izayoi is shown to have been born in a wealthy/noble family and possibly used a rouge to present herself on formal occasions. After her death, her son kept her rouge as a memento as he has no use of it, along with the Robe of the Fire-Rat.

Some time later, Inuyasha gave the rouge to his first love Kikyo as a gift. It was later destroyed by Naraku when he struck her down.

Inuyasha's and Kagome's only daughter Moroha currently holds a rouge that gives her the ability to transform into Beniyasha. According to Myōga this rouge was given to Izayoi by Tōga and have a unique property. When Moroha was trapped in a dream during the fight with Yotsume, it is shown that Kagome had to tearfully pass Izayoi's rouge as a parting gift to her infant daughter in an unknown incident.
