Urasue

Urasue is an evil demon ogre sorceress. She stole the dirt and bones from Kikyo's grave in the interest of bringing her back from the dead so that she could use Kikyo to find and gather the sacred jewel shards for her. However, after creating a body, Urasue realized that Kikyo's soul had been reincarnated into Kagome. This infuriated her so she kidnapped Kagome and tried to get Kikyo's soul from her body by putting Kagome into a tub filled with herbs that was supposed to extract her soul.

Urasue died after Kikyo was resurrected and attacked her with purification powers, appearing to have burned her to a crisp. Although Urasue played a small role in the series overall, she was important to the storyline due to the fact that she brought Kikyo back from the dead.

In Episode 92 of the anime, it is revealed that Urasue "adopted" two dead humans to help with her nefarious goals. Enju, a former potter, aided in creating clay bodies that could then be animated and controlled. Kawaramaru acted as a general of sorts, and commanded an army of clay soldiers, as well as a demon from Hell, that attacked and killed humans across wide areas of Japan. These clay soldiers did not feel pain and would not stop fighting unless they were severely immobilized.

InuYasha and his companions eventually battled with Kawaramaru. Since Enju did not want to create soliders and had been coerced by her "brother" Kawaramaru, Enju was left to return to a free life of making pottery.

Urasue means "divination".
