Shippō's father

Shippō's father was killed by Thunder Brothers, causing Shippo to seek revenge by stealing jewel shards from Kagome and Inuyasha. After hearing his story, Kagome and Inuyasha eventually help him, and the Thunder Brothers are killed by Inuyasha. During the battle, Shippo's father's spirit protected Shippo and Kagome from harm using his pelt, which the Thunder Brothers had stolen.
